About Elves in Shire RPG's:

Please use this description from Tolkien when crafting an Elf:

Return of the King – Appendix F: Tolkien’s description for the Quendi (The Speakers) – the name given to the Elves by themselves after they first awoke in Middle-earth.

“They were a race high and beautiful, the older Children of the world, and among them the Eldar were as Kings, who now are gone: the People of the Great Journey, the People of the Stars. They were tall, fair of skin and grey-eyed, though their locks were dark, save in the golden house of Finrod; and their voices had more melodies than any mortal voice that is now heard . . .”

Please use this as a guideline for describing your Elven character’s appearance.

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

EVERYONE

Please be familiar with The Red Book of Westmarch which gives the rules for posting in the Shire RPG's and in The Green Dragon Inn.

Thanks!

TIME IN THE INN . . .

It is now mid-morning.

The day is sunny, off and on. Though the breeze is a bit brisk. And far to the west, dark clouds are moving toward Bywater and Hobbiton. Looking toward the Tower Hills, you can see the grey curtain of rain advancing over the fields toward the Inn.

The sky is grayish, too; the sun has gone into hiding, and only peeks out now and then when the wind blows a hole in the clouds.

The front yard of the Inn has been cleared of all the tables and benches brought out for the party yesterday. The little lanterns that were in the trees are all put away, and the streamers and festoons about the yard and front verandah have all been tidied away. The flower gardens, inadvertently trampled by party goers, have more or less been set to rights. And what’s left to be done in the flower beds can wait until tomorrow. It’s growing chill and the wind is picking up.

The Green Dragon’s Common Room is bustling with patrons. It’s nice and cozy inside, the lanterns all cheerily lit and the fireplace blazing with a welcoming fire . . .
