Farael
Celuien
Nilpaurion

Two wolves in there, and my bets are Farael and Nilpaurion.

I explained before how weird I thought Farael's case against Aiwendil, and the reaction from the village, was. Comes out, all guns blazing, with little evidence (as I see it) for an attack on Aiwendil. Celuien and Nilpaurion (as well as Lhunardawen, to be fair) both shrug him off as likely to be innocent. I think this may well have been the wolf-agenda for the first night. Farael decided he would pick a target and the others (or one of the others) would back him up. The village was distracted with other stuff (like the Seer talk) and would probably just take the other wolf's word for it. And that other wolf is either Celuien or Nilpaurion.

My money's on Nilp, simply because of that weirdness he pulled earlier on—that 'I feel stupid' post. That's not helping anyone. It's designed to be vague and to confuse us, and since he's under barely any suspicion (SPM trusts him because of that anagram, which I think is a very dangerous move to make) he could get away with this because the village would probably say 'Oh Nilp! and nothing more.

The third wolf? Could be Celuien herself. Could be SPM with his friendliness towards Nilp. Could be Aiwendil and the whole Farael feud is a hoax. Kath is looking more and more suspicious with that unhelpful summary and lack of any suspect at all in the first two days.

Glirdan I just cannot tell. Tar-Ancalime could go either way. Mormegil I'm inclined to think is a somewhat rash but true villager.

Formendacil's claim is almost definitely genuine because the real False Seer would have nothing to lose by coming out against him.

Boromir I am inclined to trust.

Incidentally, am I being shrill or smooth or both? Because I'm enjoying the advantages and disadvantages of both at the moment.

(Hint: make up your mind.)
