Entering the campaign from the outside I feel very disconnected, as an elf, I
can see an in, but just don't understand the political situation enough to make

Also I will be headed to Alaska on Monday and will not return until June 27th.
Please feel free to introduce my character if that does not happen prior to
Monday.

Gareth Eddings, the second in command ofCedric’s war band, wished him a good
trip to Dodge’s camp, “Good voyage Cedric!..”he said. “.. Cameth Brîn is still
burning after the attack of the Elves. Andthe Easterlings of Nothwa Rhaglaw
were cut in half. Not more than 4,000returned to the Caldeburgh, near the
cities of Cameth Brîn and that of NothwaRhaglaw. Itcould scarcely be called a
retreat, in spite of the presence of the Mornarthur’sfavourite Black Númenórean
Kardaukaur guards.”
Notes:Caldeburgh:The mercenaries who raised the twin hilltop forts that they
call Caldeburg, orthe cold fortress. At first home to Northmen warriors, it is
now a place ofguard for the Easterlings and Orc wolf-riders.
CamethBrîn: Capital city of northern Rhudaur.
Kardaukaur:Black Númenórean military guards that had at the apex of their sway
over theaffairs’ of Endor, the skill in swordmanship of a 9th level
Requainknight and their cunning abilities at in-fighting were reputed to
approachthose of a Dúnadan Seer adept. In TA 1350 many one of them were rated a
matchfor any 10 normal Rhudaurani conscript soldier. The Dúnadan astrologers
predictedthat while they were still formidable, their strength had been sapped
byoverconfidence, and the sustaining mystique of their warrior religion had
beendeeply undermined by cynicism.
Mornarthur(Sindarin aka Grey Elf language): title of the Generalissimos of
thearmies of the Witches; in northern Rhudaur it corresponds to Durkarian as
theOrcs call him.

I dug up in my notes,
Morlin’s household troops, 333 men: 33 men-at-arms (17 Paladins and 16 Rangers,
all 9th lvl) to command a squadron of 10 men each; 33 medics (Clerics, 7th
lvl); and 269 picked soldiers (Fighters lvl 7) meant to be able to withstand
the Black Númenórean Kardaukaur Guards’ units.
Potential recruits: 3,000 men of archers and 1,000 of heavy infantry pikemen
(Fighters lvl 5) from the militias and mercenary companies that are based in
central Rhudaur.On Friday, June 11, 2021, 02:30:55 PM GMT+1, Antonio Simoes

Ah, ok. Cedric's daughter is in the Forest of Dean. Last thing you were with

Torvala looks at the two men before her. "There is no way the three of us are
enough. We need John and his men. And more hands and minds would be welcome. I
also need to know of the wolf packs. Are they still effective in unbalancing
the enemy? They were effective when I quit that area to deal with problems
between the huorns and forest people."

Cedric clasps the southron's hand "tis good to see again, Qarrad. I owe you my
life", and nods to Torvala "I owe it to both of you". Answering Torvala, Cedric
says, grimly "you may tire of war, Lady, but war shall not tire of these lands
'till the Witches are vanquished. I understand you, Lady; your wars will not be
fought alongside the armies of Men, but may prove more hurtsome to the Enemy!"
Looking around the growing company he says "Come, let us make haste to the
Forest of Dean and plot our next move"

Another rider approaches the party. “Hail!” the figure calls out in a
familiar, accented baritone. “Baron! You’re a hard man to catch up to.”
Qarrad, the Er-Harad, trots up to Torvala and Cedric. He looks much the same
as he always has, except that there’s now gray at the edges of his
close-cropped hair and a few more lines around his eyes and in the corners of
his mouth. His tall, gem-topped staff stands up from behind his saddle, like a
naked flag pole without its banner.
“And Goddess-Be-Praised, the Lady Torvala as well. I received your message my
friend,” he continues, looking at Cedric and steering his nag so that he can
clap the Eretar on the shoulder. “And I’ve been trying to catch-you-up for
half a day now my friend. It is a good and right thing that the Free Peoples
of Rhudaur should take council. The tide of evil continues to rise, unabated!
And here we are, together again!” He smiles, “It’s enough to make a devout man
believe that there is some higher power at work!”

It sounds like she's leaning toward joining the cause.

Cedric looks warily about, with the air of someone fearing the eyes of the
very birds in the trees, and the ears of the beetles in the grass
"Good Lady, old friends, tis good I found ye all, in good health too. No
doubt you heard ill news of the war with the Witches of Angmar and their foul
brethren that spread across the ancient holdings of Rhudaur? Alliances of old
need honour and sacrifice on both sides, and the immortals of Imladris have
kept their side of the bargain, but who in the world of Men has kept theirs? My
kin struggle with petty border wars, reavers and the incursions of the goblin
hordes, as well as the undead sweeping our lands. None of the Dúnadan have
struck a blow against the Enemy, and kept our side of the bargain with the
Elves. So, as Eretar of the House of Morlin, this responsibility weighs heavily
on me.
I bid thee to join my advisors and kin back in the Forest of Dean, and
counsel on the best course of action; war, rebellion or espionage"

Constable Torvala rode the edge of the road's territory, looking for any
trouble. She led a team of six deputies, each one keeping an eye out in a
different direction. She said, "Holdup, someone's out there."
Naurheneb blew out a puff of air as she picked up her strung bow from its
triangular holster. She grabbed one of her normal arrows and held it to the
ready.
"State your name and purpose for being here. This is protected by the
Rhudorian Road Project. You're trespassing."
The rider approached, his hands up. "I was looking for you, Torvala."
She put the arrow down and returned her bow to its holster. "Cedric? By the
sky and sea what are you doing way out here?"
