The Fall of the North Planning/Discussion Thread

[Arry]

A quick question about location.

Where exactly is the Dunedain camp? I know we are in the Hills of Evendim, but where in relation to say Lake Evendim?

And in which direction have the Orcs gone -- north? or . . . ?

[CaptainofDespair]

The orcs, initially, have gone to the southwest. However, once the elves reach the abandoned camp of the orcs, they will be presented with a new situation.

As always, if it needs editing, do let me know.

And bravo to all on the posting. Tis a great game we have going.

Garen and Aman

I've brought us to the abandoned Orc camp . . . which way we go will depend on what news Angore brings back to the group.

Bethiril had been close to Orcs before. During Morgoth’s assault on Gondolin, when she was but a child, a band of them came upon their escaping band in Cirith Thoronath. One of the guards was cut down before her eyes by their curved blades, and the same doom would have befallen her and her mother had not Thorondor and his folk swooped down and sent the Glamhoth shrieking to their doom.

Now, their guard was nowhere to be seen, and no eagle came to their aid. Yet, to her surprise, they were still alive, and even treated fairly well. There was no torture, nor threats of it, and no despoiling was done: things she had heard Orcs do to their prisoners. She had obtained news from Ereglin, and she was astonished at the way this abduction was being used.

Politics.

This proves that she was right all along: even the Orcs, putative enemies of Middle-earth, tire of bloodshed. And this could be her chance to take that great step towards the cessation of all hostility. All she needed to do was take it.

She could start by not escaping. She turned to her companions, hoping neither of them was planning flight right now.

I've placed up a Save, but I would like to clarify its contents in advance so that those involved can work on or place up posts afterward. It involves Hirvegil sending guards to summon to him Carthor, Renedwen, and, possibly, Lissi and Brander, because of their distant (and to some, unknown) relationship to the Elves. Of course, the guards who do the summoning won't be divulging anything about the reasons for said summoning. Technical difficulties are making it hard for me to navigate the vast spiderweb of the net, or the vast spidernet of the web, so I thought I'd make sure I got that on the table in case I can't fill my Save soon.

[Lalwendë]

Just checking in to say I've seen that Renedwen will be 'interrogated' soon as to her relationship with the elves - haven't been on much in the last 48 hours as I've been very ill . I'm hoping to see what manner her interrogation will take before posting again, but if I do post first, it will not cover the questioning, just events 'in between times'.

[Kransha]

Just in case no one's noticed, my save has been filled.

Though I do not wish to rush anything, I would like this whole scenario to be over eventually. People seem to be a little busy, and RL is rearing its pseudo-ugly head, as usual. This is fine and expected, and everything's pretty much on track, but I would like to see if people can respond in a timely fashion, which is what has been going on (much to my gratitude) and I hope it can stay that way.
