I assume with lot of stuff, it would be logical for Ledwyn to confide to a woman, but if it's under good circumstances, it could be anyone, right? I mean, game-wise we could develop any good reasons for how the relationship of these two might've induced that possibility. But in any case, my main reasons for thinking about this were out-of-game ones:

1. Hilderinc is exactly the type you are talking about; also, he has the air of being silent and trustworthy, it's almost his prime, if not almost only visible attribute, which brings me to

2. if I want to keep Hilderinc, I desperately need to kick him off a little bit with something action-inducing. I will definitely use the timejump to make him more invested in the people and the place and make him grow, but things like that would be a nice bonus. But whichever way you like.
That sounds lovely, and both our characters can prosper. If you want, we can PM/skype each other and discuss what's going to happen to them. I can tell you what I'm thinking for the reveal, and you can decide if you want Hilderinc involved in that.

Makes sense to me. Contact me anyhow/anytime and we can figure it out.

I talked with Folwren yesterday on Facebook as we had some matters concerning their June-European trip to discuss. She promised to check in here.

Hey, hey, folks!! I'm excited to see so much activity! And it really is SO much activity. Wow. I wasn't expecting all these posts.

I didn't read everything - don't have time - and I won't have time for a loooong time, so I'd actually like to hear what the final plan is once it's all drawn together. I'll be ok with anything ya'll decide without me, and if I'm not ok, I'll keep quiet, since I wasn't here to help plan.

I prefer 3-5 year jump, but either 3 or 5 is equally acceptable to me.

Now, Saeryn was pregnant when we last ended writing, and for some reason I felt she had twins, but I'm not sure if we ever established that.

Something to keep in mind is that sometimes boys were sent places to learn trade or take place in someone's household - another lord or knight, etc. - so those of us who have boys growing up in the game may consider that. I don't think that affects me, as that was the reason Javan was sent to Eodwine in the first place.

I will pop in as I have time and throw in opinion if I have one. School is ending next week, and the week after that, I'm leaving for Europe, so no promises of writing. But I am super excited!

My thoughts as well. I'll have a fun time trying to get any new character in sync with all the characters and back story written by the fine tight-knit group of writers here. I'm not real big on pre-planning out posts, but prefer to work off what is presented.

It seems the scope of this tale is well beyond a Mead Hall setting. Should I ever have time to read it all (I won't), it maybe would make more sense to me. Instead, I'll wait until all you planners get it sorted and give a summary of the current scene and setting and timeframe.

Happy Writing Everyone!
