Moving

I moved "Elvenhome" from the LOTR-section to the Silmarillion section. It's so heavily loaded with stuff from the Lost Tales that it'd more likely find interested readers there. Let's hope the purists won't tear it apart.

(no subject)

Hey, I've just remembered *one* good thing about Voyager. They had this really weird episode with Harry Kim playing a Beowulf holodeck game, complete with King Hrotgar and the monster Grendel. So, any LOTR-fans with interest in the background can have their field day with it. It was ep. 6 in the first season, called "Heroes and Demons". It's a small universe, really.

This one is for Klose :)

So, Klose, here is the fragment you wanted to read. *g*

Emissary of the Mark
(Elfhelm's adventures in the land of Rhún)

A few remarks before you start reading:
1) The religion of the Rohirrim is entirely my creation, made up on the basis of the pagan Anglo-Saxon beliefs.
2) Frána son of Gámlód was a name first considered (and then rejected) by Tolkien for Wormtongue. I found it in the HoME-books and created the character.
3) Idis, Théoden's daughter existed shortly aside (or, at some point, instead) of Éowyn. Since it is explicitly said that Queen Elfhild died while giving birth to Théodred, I made Idis a bastard child, who was acknowledged by her father nevertheless.
4) The Lady Aud, Théodred's wife and the rest of Erkenbrand's family are my OCs. To Aud's fate see: ''Ice Blossom''
