Adaneth,
So glas that you have posted. I don't have too much time for review (I'm at work) but I wanted to let you know that I'm reading and waiting for your updates.
My, those dwarves are all incredible business men, I would not like to bargain with them, I'm sure that I will lost.
Thank you
Go to Hand to Hand
I very much enjoyed the first two chapters, are there 4 chapters?
Thank you for your patience as well as your comments, Elrûn--these latest as well as the ones back in December. (Belated thanks to Tindome and Mffantasia for their kind words as well.)
I know you are probably wondering how Saelon and Dírmaen are doing, so I'll catch you up with them this Friday.
Cheers--
Adaneth

The hunt is on!
A new set of treasures has been released tonight for your treasure hunting pleasure.
This month, the focus is on a building in Minas Tirith where almost anything can happen - a tale, a spectacle, an historic event, a deal cut, a romance blossom. For all of you Dúnedain fanciers, here is an opportunity to bring a number of your favorite (or detested) characters together.
What to combine with this? Quite a bit. There is another great city on a hill that someone might think of whilst enjoying the pleasures of Minas Tirith. Perhaps a traveler ponders a wonder he has seen, or a horror long past. Perhaps a tale is told of a famous warrior and his great weapon, perhaps the future is considered in light of a tangled past.
If you are a logged in member, there are more treasures to combine with the main place. There are places of rath- that might come up in conversation, given recent events. Perhaps an answer to a question could be found. Rohan comes to mind. And then, perhaps, there is time for remembering things back home.
Post in this thread when you enter and again when you add a story to read. If you know you want to write a story, but aren't sure if you can have it completed by the closing date of the challenge, just enter a placeholder. Questions? Post them here!

PS - Be sure to check out the treasures for a glimpse of some new features in our Research Library. Elena Tiriel has been very busy!

The February 2010 Treasure Hunt challenge has been converted to a Nuzgûl today, as it only has one entry, Aruthir's evocative Sittin' On The Dock Of The Bay.
While the treasures are being changed for a new March set, they are still available for story writers.

Thanks for the Orc fic recommendation! It's gone to the list...
...as has Fairy Tales of Middle-earth, by the way. I finally read the most recent story, A Son of Eärendil. Garandir irritated me enormously, but I loved Tree and Star, and The Seeing Stones referenced "East of the Sun, West of the Moon," which is a favorite of mine. This is such lovely series.

I'm so, so sorry for being AWOL for so long!
I just set up (finally!) the birthday forum thread for February, in the new location Anglachel provided: go here!
This forum here will no longer be used: the new forum exists for birthday requests for the year 2010.
Perhaps we can still find some requests for the reminder of February; but in any case now that I'm here and have a bit of time, I have already set up the March thread (plus respective March Birthday Challenge).
