Ouch. Nothing stays secret in the kitchen, huh?

I'm so happy to see Scyld again.

Tolkien placed Rohan in the same kind of latitude as southern France. The White Mountains serve Eorling climate pretty much the way the Pyrenees and Alps serve southern France. Of course, Rohan has no Mediterranean so the winters might be less temperate.

Hiya all, again sorry for my absence but I have been and will be busy. Anyway, Lhuna and LMP managed to get me to write a pm post with them so I wrote a little something for Modtryth today, and will try to keep up with stuff then (Modtryth seems to have been quite busy while I've been away

). Also, next week I will write for Wulfric and/or Wilheard, reveal what became of Wulfric's thoughts to go see Faramund and probably have them return from a hunting trip or something like that to Eodwine's homecoming - and also hopefully write a little something for Cnebba as what I wrote for Modtryth implied the boys have been up to some mischief again...

Excellent. I am excited about everything above, Lommy. I was curious about the boys, too, but didn't feel like coming up with something. It would be amazing if you did write for them. Is Javan amongst the mischief makers?

I am also impatient to see this co-post that keeps being spoken about, between Elempi, Lhuna, and now you! It is a million pages long by now, or are you all just taking your time about writing it?

I ran out of time while writing my post, but I wanted to get it up... I'm not too clear on how swearing fealty works myself, so if need be I can edit the last few lines of my post if it doesn't make sense in context. Someone who has greater knowledge than me can let me know...

No, it is not long. We've just been busy with other things so not much time has been devoted to writing it. But it's coming.

Eodwine will soon assure everyone that what he has done is best, and he will restore order, if order must be restored.

I got a kick out of this. Durelin, you could really have Coen catch Thornden in his words here if you wanted to....

Actually, "fealty" as such may not be an appropriate concept for the Eorling setting. It automatically means feudal law and relationships. It would be more appropriate to simply say that Eodwine swore an oath of loyalty.

Ack. Not fair to take advantage of dialogue written by a sleep-deprived camp-person.

What's so wrong with what he said, anyway?
