All new members come here first to make yourself known.
I am Elrohir, son of Elthron, and I am a skilled warrior.
I do not fear death, and I take pleasure in battle, but sadden at the ruin of the world and death of my friends.

Elwood glided into the hall in a long, flowing, golden gown with mithril embroidering at the collar which produced the shapes of thousands of small leaves. Her long, wavy, honey-colored hair was half up so that her hair swayed delicately at her waist. Her large, brown eyes were on a new elf in the woods. He appeared to be a warrior. Elwood, drowning in her curiosity, walked gracefully forward to greet the newcomer.
As Elwood approached, she dropped into a humble curtsy and stood up, taking him by the hand, "I am Elwood Lover, and I'm glad you could join us in the Lady's realm. Queen Livira will be most pleased to meet you." She smiled, then went on, "What is your name?"

"I am Elrohir, son of Elthron. I am from the lands to the West. Eriamar is my realm."
Elrohir bowed and took the hand of Lady Elwood. He kissed it, and gently let it go.
"I have recently been battling, you may be fooled by my appearnce, or rather, you may be fooled as to what my intentions are for entering the lady's wood.
I come to see those that in my country are myths. I have recently faught wars against evil people...wild men.....yrchs...they make me sick. Howver I now have no desire for these things, however I understand that as a King, these events do arise.
I have travelled many nights to get here, and my horse is tired."
With that Elrohir whistled, and a brilliant white horse trotted forth, it's mane gleaming in the evening sunset.
"This is Gilthirihel, my stallion. He has been my friend through more dangers than I care to count. I pray to you he may be well looked after"
With that Elrohir led Gilthirihel to a stable hand, who led him away to a comfortable stable, the wood carved in shapes of mallorn leaves.
"My Lady Elwood, I do not think these condition suitable for one as beautiful as yourslef. Please, let us move somewhere more appropriate. I saw a tree by a beautiful running stream as I rode in, and the sound of the water was the sound of my heart, and it was most pleasant.
I hope that you will join me there, and please bring who you will, I would take pleasure in meeting them.
Please do not think me rude that you should come to me, as I will visit your great hall in due course, but in nature is where I am in most tune, and if one simply looks, no crafting is required for comfort. Nature provides."
With that Elrohir bowed to the lady, and walked down the road, the afternoon sun on his face, and a light breeze to his fingertips.

Suddenly, a harmonious galloping sound sounded through the area, and Elrohir and Elwood turned to see what it was. A stunning horse came galloping into the woods, carrying the fair Lady Livira on its back. The queen was not in her usual formal gowns and beautiful dresses, but was in a soft leathery riding dress and had her long hair partially pulled back, though leaving the sideburns cascading long and straight in front of her pointed ears. With a graceful halt, Livira slipped off her horse and came up to the two elves who had just met.
"Elwood, I did not expect to see you here! It is quite the wonderful surprise. And Master Elrohir, it is a pleasure to see you again as well. Forgive me, but I have not taken the liberty to adequately meet you in person..I remember you entering the forests and joining us in the celebration, but I believe this is the first time we have truly spoken." She slightly bowed her head for a brief moment, then spoke again with the same etherial quality that always surrounded her. "I welcome you to my lands, and I bestow upon you my blessing." She paused and thought of something. "My apologies...I am sorry if I interrupted your conversation. I did not know."

Elrohir laughed in a friendly way.
"My Lady" he said "It is not you that need beg our pardon, for you allow us to walk in your woods freely, and for that I am eternally greatful, as I am sure all Elves are"
"I have even asked it of the beautiful lady Elwood that more Elves may come, and that it should be the Lady of the wood, only gladdens my heart"
Elrohir bowed
"Please, my lady, come with us, we are headed to the river. I ask you join us"

Livira smiled as Elrohir answered her plea. "Of course, I would be delighted. It has been so long since I have trod these grounds on my own and see the expanses of my lands. I do wish to see the beautiful Ngalad river again. It has been ages since I last traveled it."

A tall, fair and brown-haired Elf with a blue satin robe flowing in the air, entered the realm of Tirtha 'Uren. He had come here in hope to find new friends and allies for the Kingdom of Lórien. His name was Caladriendil, he was the Lieutenant of Lórien's Army. He searched for the ruler of this realm, he had learned that her name was Lady Livira.
Caladriendil entered a beautiful pavilion, where he saw many people standing, amongst them Lady Livira. He recognized her from her astounding beauty, famous amongst both Men and Elves. He stroded towards her and decided to greet her.
"Suilad, Lady Livira", Caladriendil said as he bowed gracefully. "I am Caladriendil, Lieutenant of Lórien's Army" He smiled at her, his brown eyes reflecting the sun.

"Suilad, mae govannen, Caladriendil," Livira spoke, stretching forth her hand to greet him. "I welcome you to my lands and I bestow my blessing upon you and bless you with happiness and protection in my realm. Please enjoy your stay."

Caladriendil stood up and politely declined Lady Livira's suggestion, and turned to another fair maiden, apparently Lady Elwood. He bowed again and spoke most humbly.
"Milady Elwood, gîl síla na lû govaded", Caladriendil smiled at her.

Elwood smiled at Elrohir, "I'm sure we'll have a few more elves before too long. Here comes Queen Livira, now." Elwood's smile broadened as Livira joined them. She welcomed her, and Caladriendil as he joined them. After greeting them all, Elwood said, "Well, then, let's go down to the river, shall we?"

The four walked down towards the gurgling river. They reached the tall tree Elrohir had remembered, a brilliant Willow, its leaves dipping in the water.
There is an old saying in my homeland of Eriamar:"Willows love to dip their feet in water" and so when I see one from afar, my heart is glad.
As they all sat underneath the gnarled boughs, they spoke of their travels, and of their interests, but not of their troubles. The mood set by the river was a merry one.

The mood remained so for an hour longer until fair Elwood with eyes of a hawk noticed a stranger in the forest. The srtanger was clad in a mystical grey cloak, battered with time and troubles. "hail wanderer in the ladies wood, what is it you desire?" Elwood stood up and drew his sword. "Fear not my dear elf, I am Estel man of the west, Elf-friend. I was brought up by Elrond in Imladris. Many foes I have fought, mighty and small, yet I do not kill for pleasure. Master I am in lore, cheif of the Dunedain. All I seek is a little rest for a short period of time in your ladies wood"

Isil walked around not sure of where to go. She turned and saw a group a little way from where she was standing. When a silence finally arrived, Isil took the time to speak.
"Hello." she said in a soft, clear voice and bowing. "I am Isil." she continued, not giving her father or her mother's name as background information. "I'm sorry to interrupt. I am looking for a place to stay."
Isil looked down at her traveling cloak noticing the mess it was currently in. "I am sorry for my appearance at the moment." she continued. "My horse was taken from me, and although my eyesite is good, I was not able to locate her." She waited for approval to come closer.

Elrohir turned to all who had joined them, and called Isil over.
They now had a large group, and the river splashed merrily beside them.
"Livira," Elrohir inquired "Can you recommend anywhere for us to rest?"
