All I will be leaving for holiday in Alaska on Monday and I am not sure what
kind of mobile service I will have. I will follow along as best I can, but
please play Gilothel as needed in my absence.
I think being an emissary from Rivendell would be a great lead in.

Will do. Can we do something about the weird emails? It happens for some folks
here, but not everyone, and it makes it very cumbersome to determine which game
is being referenced.

Would it help if you had some background on the characters? I do a *lot* of
writing, and I do that for my characters too, so I've got a document outlining
who Torvala is.
The easy entry into the setting for an elf would be as an envoy from the elves
who've asked the group to regroup and deal with the threats.

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
an introduction.
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.

The wolf-packs would be based in the Forest of Dean.
Gareth Eddings, the second in command of Cedric’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. And the Easterlings of Nothwa Rhaglaw
were cut in half. Not more than 4,000 returned to the Caldeburgh, near the
cities of Cameth Brîn and that of Nothwa Rhaglaw. It could scarcely be called a
retreat, in spite of the presence of the Mornarthur’s favourite Black
Númenórean Kardaukaur guards.”
Notes:
Caldeburgh: The mercenaries who raised the twin hilltop forts that they call
Caldeburg, or the cold fortress. At first home to Northmen warriors, it is now
a place of guard for the Easterlings and Orc wolf-riders.
Cameth Brîn: Capital city of northern Rhudaur.
Kardaukaur: Black Númenórean military guards that had at the apex of their sway
over the affairs’ of Endor, the skill in swordmanship of a 9th level Requain
knight and their cunning abilities at in-fighting were reputed to approach
those of a Dúnadan Seer adept. In TA 1350 many one of them were rated a match
for any 10 normal Rhudaurani conscript soldier. The Dúnadan astrologers
predicted that while they were still formidable, their strength had been sapped
by overconfidence, and the sustaining mystique of their warrior religion had
been deeply undermined by cynicism.
Mornarthur (Sindarin aka Grey Elf language): title of the Generalissimos of the
armies of the Witches; in northern Rhudaur it corresponds to Durkarian as the
Orcs 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
her was in the northern reaches, under Grandfather Tree, a very large and old
oak tree with many red leaves. Her party andf yours were sleeping the siesta
after a good meal.

I recall we organised Cedrics army in to guerrilla-war units that we called
wolf packs? These cleared the terrain ahead of our hit squad that went to get
to the unholy temple and retrieve Cedrics captured daughter (what ever happened
to her?)

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."
