The Wargs of the Brown Lands tell tales of a mysterious ghost, dancing in the form of a hare.

Pardon me for getting excited but I feel a need to reconcile some legends here. What can Wargs tell us of Elmerf and his treacherous dynasty?

Presumably nothing, since none of those whose eyes ever rested upon Elmerf lived to tell the... tail. Why else, do you think, would all legends and accountings of him be so vague and inconclusive?

And who claimed that 'none of those.....' ever lived to tell? Whoever said that was almost definitely schooled in the traditional anti-Warg methodology.

I will investigate further. Don't believe everything you read in this thread.

The Saucepan Man has been trapped in the Barrow!
Question Bright eyes?

Did it have bright eyes burning like fire?

Um.....I think that's a joke but I'm too slow-witted to understand it.

Eomer .. The Saucepan man tells, I believe of a ghostly vision of a beast of the order Lagomorpha (though possibly of the Syvilagus rather than Lepus genus) recounted by Simon, the Garth-Uncle, which could be related to the incident quoted. Certain atmospheric conditions were necessary for the vision to be seen (high wind in the trees, fog, strange glow in the sky). However it was possible that it was merely a dream. This story was very well known when I was a child but maybe the younger generation have not heard of it?

Sounds like a cracking yarn; my research must evolve; to the English countryside I go!
