Well, we have half-dunleding mixing with them already... though some traditional rohanians might say that lord Eodwine is then hosting a mixture of scum and should be "dethroned" for that - maybe that could be one twist in the overall storyline sometime in the future? Possibly the great landlords who have reigned free before the Mead Hall comes to their territories would love to take that as a tool to oust him?

Also I'd agree with elempi with Gwath's character: if you can come up with a story that justifies an elf being around it might be fine. But surely it would be easier to choose a more "normal" character. But as you wish. I have nothing against an elf but he should have a believable story behind him. I mean here is one thing I see the Golden Perch and the Mead Hall to differ: the Mead Hall should surely be fun but also a bit more Tolkienish or "believable" in the world of Tolkien.

Precisely. I shall consider.

I see I had deliberately avoided the word 'realistic'... But in the end I think that is what I mean - as long as you can be realistic in the realm of fantasy...

Of course you can!

NAME: Ginna

AGE/GENDER/RACE/WHERE FROM: 23, female, Eorling from the north of the Middle Emnet

APPEARANCE: Stands 5'8" tall, slender but stronger than she appears, has light blond hair almost reaching her waist, and wide blue eyes. A bit too beautiful for her own good.

BITS OF CHARACTER/HISTORY YOU FEEL MIGHT BE HELPFUL IN DEFINING THE CHARACTER: Ginna is the only child of Randvér, a widower, friend of Eodwine's from the War, and small lord and landholder. She was sent to the Eorl's keeping in hope that she will learn to "behave more properly," and while she does not mind being away from her father, their separation failed to give them a chance to address their worsening estrangement. She is determined and a quick learner, but can be stubborn and headstrong. The loneliness to which she had been accustomed helped her to easily make friends with the people around her, but had also made her highly insecure, which leads her to take advantage of Harreld's feelings for her as she had done with other men before. Too late did she realise, however, how wrongly she had treated the smith, and now desires to win back his friendship, although she has no idea how to go about doing it.

Though she does not admit it, she wants to settle down, but she doubts her father would judge her ready, if indeed he had a mind to give her away in marriage at all.

Elempi, in the EMH discussion thread's list of characters you wrote that Rowenna is 22 years old. I'm just wondering what her real age is.

Oh, and about the one Ginna is interested in (or, more accurately, the one I'm interested in for Ginna, not yet sure if that's the same), I hinted at it in my last post to EMH, the one with the nightmare. Apparently I had been too subtle.
