Poorly written my foot.

Obviously, I must identify with Eodwine a lot - Thornden's good thoughts about him just about choked me up.

Firefoot - I thought so - starting with post 198 there has already been an exchange between "Nydfara" and Rowenna, and others. Might want to check it out. I will in more depth too.

Ah, how sweet.

I thought so. I seem to have remembered it quite clearly. Didn't she slap him?

[littlemanpoet]

Ah yes, I remember the slap. How endearing of her.

I just love to see things happening.

Yay for all!

Lord Athanar will be busy looking after the last works on the renovation as the winter is coming (it's like runnnig against time as any day could be the first day of winter), but I think there should be a feast in the honour of Eodwine coming back in the evening ordered by Athanar.

So you can take it for granted he has ordered the people in the kitchen to prepare for it.

I'll try to have time to involve Stigend and Garstan as well. But if anyone sees a natural way to include them with their character meanwhile - or Cnebba & the other kids - please be welcome to do it.

It's mid December...December13, I believe. They are about a month into winter, are they not? At least? We've described hard frosts, freezing wind, and snow...

Heh, I thought it was a bit earlier (even if not much), but it comes down to what kind of climate we think Rohan has... I mean if you come to the central or northern Finland, December is more often than not wintertime with snow on the ground "permanently" and temperatures below freezing, but in Helsinki it has not been so for decades (on average - not counting the last two years which have been like back in the seventies) - and if you go to the Central Europe, it's not winter that early as if there is winter at all it is January & February... I don't know how it works in the States though.

But what I mean is, that in up North you will have a Winter where it is snow, ice and below freezing for months - and thus some freezing wind or occasional snow doesn't make a winter. But what is our idea of a Rohanian "winter"? I think we haven't thought about it yet and have our own unreflected ideas about it - and I can see I have myself been too sloppy about it.

Maybe we should exchange some views about the winter of Rohan, just to be on the same page?

[Folwren]

Ha...I vote for somewhere in between a Canadian or Finlandish winter and Florida/Italy.

I guess I was picturing it with a winter kind of like England or Ireland...not that I know much about winter there, but I do not think it is too severe. Not a great deal of snow, some freezing weather, ice, frost, etc. I dunno.

About my last post - it is clumsily done, Durelin, but I have engaged Coenred in conversation.

Firefoot, Quin is talking with Leof. Feel free to keep that conversation going and use NPCs for more conversation and comments from the men. I'll keep playing Quin with you, too.
