Great to see this RPG moving on!

I hope no one's offended, but Arianna's and Glirdingo's romance is soooo teen-ish!

(But they're cute, in a way...)

True it is teenish, but they are young for elves. Being in your 70s is still being in your teens really. So I guess it all works out.

Glirdan · 01-30-2007, 01:37 PM

Exactly!! We're still in that young phase without a care in the world! Well, not entirely true, but you know what I mean!

Crystal Heart · 01-30-2007, 04:45 PM

I don't exactly know where I read it, but it stated that elves (no matter in what context you are speaking about them) are nearly immortal. They can live forever as long as they don't get too injuried. That is why they can die in battle. Their immorailty can not keep up and therefore they die. So since they can live forever that is why they would be teenagers right now.

Sorry . . . I just haven't had a chance to say ANYTHING intelligent today. So I'm glad you all allowed me to say that.

Everyone we need to start posting. We need to start getting this RPG up to speed!

First to post gets a trophy and a cookie.

Cutie teen elves!

Seriously though, I too thought they're both pretty young. I think it's stated somewhere (in Morgoth's Ring?), that Elves come of age when they're about 100, or a bit less.

It's all just appropriate (and I was not saying anything different) and it amuses me. Keep up the good job, Glirdy and Crystal!

I have heard this thing 'Morgoth's Ring' mentioned once or twice, but I don't know what it is. Could you fill me in Thinlómien?

And also, if 13-19 is a 'teen', supposedly 21-29 is a 'tween' what in the world is seventy?

Back to the topic, could Glirdan or Crystal Heart skip us forward a couple of hours (days)? I don't know about you guys, but I think we have expended the creative possibilities of a heavy fog, just my opinion.

(as you can see I have taken to the trend of bolding usernames)

After making the Silmarillion and the Unfinished Tales from J.R.R. Tolkien's notes, Christopher Tolkien also made the Histories of Middle-Earth, total 12 volumes unpublished writings of JRRT. (Mostly different versions of the stories published in the Sil, but also much more, like more explanation to the things behind the LoTR etc. I'm not too sure, I've only read two of them this far!

) Morgoth's Ring is volume X of HoME. Hope that helped.
