50 lashes for me, the mod (gasp!), as I propose to ask a chatty question or 2

-

Hilde - is your avatar a Numenorean tile?

Ealasaide - is yours from a particular movie (it's Ingrid Bergman, isn't it?)

Nerindel - is yours from an anime film?

Everdawn - yours I can identify!

----------------------------------------------

On Topic:

". . . the pain that had haunted him for so many years departed Kaldir at last. The peace that he had been denied so completely since that fateful day when he had fallen into the hands of Sauron’s minions at Raven Falls descended over him, not so much like a shroud as like a woman’s silken veil, lowered over him with love. And forgiveness."

lovely, just lovely . . .

Another lovely post Ealasaide. I got your pm, I thought that was what it might be but thanks for the clarification.

Pio - My Avatar is an original my sister is an Anime student and she designed it especially for Nerindel, in the full pic you can see that the background is the last homely house in Rivendell.

Hilde Bracegirdle · 09-16-2004, 03:31 AM

How wonderful Nerindel! Your sister has done some very nice work!

And to answer your question Pio, you hit the nail on the head! It has always been a favorite of mine.

Ealasaide · 09-16-2004, 07:02 AM

Thanks, all!

Yes, Hilde, it is like losing a friend. I shall miss Kaldir very much. It's strange... when we started this story I never intended for him to die, yet, as the story progressed, I began to see that this was the way it had to be with him. He should have died back in Mordor. Oh,well...

Sorry he had to take your old friend, Rauthain, with him that way though!

Pio - yes, my avatar is Ingrid Bergman. It is a still from Casablanca, one of my all time favorite movies. I really am a hopeless romantic! What is yours? It looks Japanese. ?

Nerindel - how cool! Your sister did some wonderful work.

piosenniel · 09-16-2004, 09:16 AM

It is Japanese anime - from a film I recently bought. The story is about a strong woman raised in the warrior arts, who fights to secure the city of Kyoto from enemies during the Heian period.

No Problem, I'm just glad I knew about it well before hand!

The both of them were pretty well anchored in the 3rd Age. It was only a matter of time before their moorings snapped!

Pio, that sounds like a worthwhile film. She looks so deceptively peaceful in the avatar.

EDIT: Gilly's save has been filled in, and the hobbits are off!

Nerindel · 09-17-2004, 05:53 AM

Ok everyone Amandurs save is filled.

Everdawn things are set up for you to deliver Gilly's message. please can you have Amandur have Avanill help him collect his gear in your post, then the young merchant can find his pack as previously discussed via pm, then they can head to the stables to meet Léspheria et al!
