Walk To Rivendell" aka "The Eowyn Challenge"

[Alatáriël Lossëhelin]

Unfortunately, I don't know where to find it at the moment - a search didn't reveal its current location. Does anyone know?

The original Walk to Rivendell is on the 3rd page of Middle Earth Mirth, about 6 or 7 threads from the top.

We set up camp this afternoon in a sheltered dell just a mile north of Weathertop. Good news! We found some supplies stored there...firewood, a bit of food (some dried fruit & dried meat, not cram), and several leaves of athelas. At first Strider thought they had been left by a Ranger, but instead of boot prints there were hobbit footprints. Then we found several flat rocks stacked close by with an elvish "P" marked on the top with charcoal. Strider thinks Peony left them for us, and that she is only a day or two ahead. After dinner, I soaked my blister and Strider made a poltice from the athelas. It feels much better...thanks Peony!!

..Amon Sûl they called it..It is told that Elendil stood there watching for the coming of Gil-galad out of the West, in the days of the Last Alliance.

.."Who was Gil-galad?" asked Merry; but Strider did not answer, and seemed to be lost in thought. Suddenly a low voice murmured:

• Gil-galad was an Elven-king.
  Of him the harpers sadly sing:
  the last whose realm was fair and free
  between the Mountains and the Sea.
  
  His sword was long, his lance was keen,
  his shining helm afar was seen;
  the countless stars of heaven's field
  were mirrored in his silver shield.
  
  But long ago he rode away,
  and where he dwelleth none can say;
  for into darkness fell his star
  in Morder where the shadows are.

The others turned in amazement, for the voice was Sam's.
