PLACED W/BIO ~*~Pio

-------

Fëaglin's hammer made a sharp tinging sound as it struck the silver, flattening it into a wide band. He then took a small pair of pliers and twisted the metal to his desired effect, plaiting it along with two other strands in an intricate fashion of spirals and curves, similar to the delicate knotwork of vines.

He laughed heartily as he finished his commisioned task, a spiraling necklace for a bride to be, and nine circlets for the maids in waiting. A fellow silver-smith across the street with a bright young apprentice had made two beautiful rings for the couple. Fëaglin had been close to the furnace all day, so it was no suprise that he thought he deserved a nip of fresh air along with a nip of some fine wine.

The lean Elf cleared his work area, and set the finished silver pieces along a long table made viewable through a window so that others may admire his work, and be inspired to commision or buy some of his pre-crafted vendibles. The sun was setting as he locked up his shop for the night, and made his way into his house, just spacious enough for himself and one other. He shook the stiffness from his fingers.

But there was no other, not yet at any rate and at times Fëaglin grew heart sick in the dark of his room playing with the silver trinkets he had fashioned in his spare time in his forge. One in particular was special to him, a device of curious beauty.

Many loops of silver were strung together with subtle gems interlaced in the finery, and when one would push the outer most ring the others were set into motion, revolving around one another in a dizzying harmony. And if the light of the setting sun were to hit the gems just right an efflorescence of watery colour would sweep across the vaulted ceiling.

He had not revealed this creation to anyone, this creation of his helped to sooth his troubled thoughts and helped to clear his mind. Fëaglin was not blind to the encroaching darkness nor was he insensitive to the greater weight it was now pushing onto his Kin, threatening their very way of life.

Rumours had come of orcs along the borders and of Eregion's impending doom, but also the rumoured hope that help would arrive before all came to naught. Fëaglin hoped with all his will that that were true.

His grey eyes gazed steadily at the sword and bow hanging from the far wall, a growing knowledge came to him that they would have to be used before the end. He stood and walked down into the cellar picking a glass and small bottle of home made wine.

He made his was into the well kept courtyard and uncorked the bottle with the intention to finish it before he crept into bed under the starry sky. His head would be clearer in the morning.

Thanks for your first post, Esgallhugwen. Wonderfully done.

And, much to everyone's relief, Mithalwen will still be participating in the game.

Durelin · 07-18-2005, 06:09 PM

Okay, I've figured out the order of the First Posts, excepting Mithalwen's, Sleepy Ranger's, and Gwydion's, which can all be fit in when they arrive on the discussion.

First of all: Pio, I've been meaning to change the date of 1692 to 1695 on the last division of my post. Sorry it took me so long.

I'd like to make the very first post as the Prologue only till the last division (when it says Late in the year 1692, which should be 1695). I'd like to turn what follows into a separate post.

I think I'd like this order:

The first part of the Prologue (most of it) xx
Evinyatar's Post xx
Orofaniel's Post xx
The last part of the Prologue (basically acting as just my 'first post') xx
Amanaduial's Post xx
Alcarillo's Post xx
Esgallhugwen's Post xx
Nurumaiel's Post xx

Mithalwen's Post(?) xx

Piosenniel's Post xx
Boromir88's Post xx
Folwren's Post xx
Arry's Post xx
Seth Cotton's Post xx
Arestevana's Post xx

Gwydion's post(?) xx

How does that sound?

Durelin

Date change made to your post

RPG thread has the First Posts on board

I've taken Sleepy Ranger off the RPG since he has submitted neither his revised Character Description nor a First Post by the agreed upon deadline.

~*~

Everyone

Please note Durelin has chosen Red Flows the Sirannon as the title for the game. I'll be changing the title of this thread to match it.

The RPG Thread (HERE ) will open once Mithalwen's First Post is on board.

Durelin · 07-19-2005, 10:19 AM

Thank you so much, Pio.

It's unfortunate that we now only have two Elves of Lindon. A question to Orofaniel and Evinyatar: Do you think only two of you will be enough to carry along your part of the story comfortably (and without you getting bored or anything

)?

Envinyatar · 07-19-2005, 11:16 AM

I think we'll be fine. Oro's a good gamer - we'll play off each other well.
