Hooray! I have filled the placeholder #58 in the "Storms" thread. Now Gimilbeth is betrothed!  Sorry for such a long delay, guys, especially you, Duilin! I had tried to write this post for months, but had a hellish writer's block. And today I sat and wrote it in an hour. Duilin, please modify the post as you see fit. There is quiite a lot about Galphant - perhaps you would wish to add something? Just do it - use your mod's rights. |

Earniel, Val, wasn't Celebrindol supposed to inform his wife about the marriage proposal for Beleg this very evening? If so, then your post, Earniel, might have a dramatic continuation... Perhaps you could continue, Val? - it is far easier than to write the crucial post about Malvegil-Celebrindol's talk. I had forgotten about that, but yes, it could be fitted nicely after my post. If you manage to find time to write it, Val, you can easily tack it on the Sulawen-post. Whenever I can finally get my rear in gear, I'll FIRST write an exit for Eryndil and Caelen from the Yule Ball - in the other thread. Fine with me. Just write, Val. Or do I have to kick your rear into gear for you? How ARE you all? Missed you all.... ! Wheee! ;D Great to see you again! I was wondering where you had gone off too. You've been missed. You arrived back at the right moment. coughhintpleaseposthintpuppyeyescough. Hooray! I have filled the placeholder #58 in the "Storms" thread. Now Gimilbeth is betrothed! Yeay! First Serenoli coming back, now postage! I'm always amazed, Gordis, how easily you navigate that complicated political web that has been woven in this story. |

Yeay! First Serenoli coming back, now postage! I'm always amazed, Gordis, how easily you navigate that complicated political web that has been woven in this story. Thank you. I can confess your post, Earniel, and the appearence of Serenoli have been a huge factor in breaking my writers's block. As for political web navigation, Duilin and Val are even better than me. If only Angmar and Elfhild come back as well, we would be back in operation. Val - please, try to post now! *puppy eyes*. |

Hurray! I think Galphant is in for more than he bargained for...
One thing I do wonder - does Galphant know that Gimilbeth is going to be speaking to Romendacil? If so, perhaps he might try to arrange for her to do some preliminary work in trying to arrange a meeting for him. I suppose it can wait for their next weekly luncheon, though.
Hmm...so now I've got some work to do, I guess. In the next few days I need to reread through the thread to try to remember what exactly I need to do. Hopefully I'll be able to post one or two entries this weekend or so.

Hurray! I think Galphant is in for more than he bargained for... You can say that. . She didn't tell him about it - actually she had told him very little about her own affairs. Yet she had announced her intent to speak with Romendacil to the Warden at the first reception. Barund is in the know as well. So - let Galphant's spies work, and perhaps Gimilbeth would agree to help her bethrothed... That would be great. Actually I have just posted - G's morning of Nov 18. In the afternoon expect her in the library. May I have Hador and Belector there? |

Belecthor and Hador there is certainly fine. I think that the Cardolanis should probably have been practicing with the Palantir that morning, if that works.

Hmm - I'd be up for doing an Amdir post, where he reconnects with Barund - and perhaps brings Barund to meet and talk to his father. Would it be okay to assume that Gimilbeth had a further discussion with Barund in the late afternoon of the 17th, where she gave him more specific instructions about what to say to Amdir? If so, what exactly would she have said - presumably that complicated business of renunciations and so forth, although I doubt Barund would have done a good job mastering the details. But anything beyond that?
Also - besides Hador, I'd imagine Galphant will tell Aegnor about his betrothal, but nobody else. In terms of the Cardolan characters on the 18th -
The morning, the council members will be practicing the Palantir, probably in a group - that's Orogost, Adrahil, Belecthor, Galphant, and Hador. Aegnor and Amdir will be at ends, and perhaps talking to Barund. Galphant will have told Aegnor about Amdir and Barund's scheme, but obviously neither Amdir nor Barund will know this. Duilin and Thurisind will be continuing their sort of general reconnaissance. Herunarth will presumably be off sulking/hanging about with Beleg.
In the afternoon, the Palantir session ends. Belecthor and Hador are off to the library - perhaps Orogost has set them to looking into some legal precedents, or perhaps they are just bored. Galphant will call on Aegnor for some as yet unspecified reasons, and perhaps meet with Duilin and Thurisind as well. Orogost sends for Amdir, and Amdir perhaps brings Barund to discuss their proposal about Amantir. And Adrahil, if possible, meets again with Celebrindol to discuss the results of Celebrindol's conversation with Malvegil about Beleg as a possible king of Cardolan. In terms of posts I write, I figure on doing an Amdir/Orogost one for this time period, and I can write a Adrahil/Celebrindol once Val writes up Malvegil/Celebrindol. I need to think further about the details of what Galphant and his crew are doing before I write on that, and I assume Gordis will have Belecthor and Hador well in hand.
Thoughts?

If so, what exactly would she have said - presumably that complicated business of renunciations and so forth, although I doubt Barund would have done a good job mastering the details. But anything beyond that? Yes, suppose she told Barund in the evening that she allowed him to continue the negociations, but advised him to keep his mouth shut and try hard to record what exactly would be said. Think Gandalf and Pippin in Minas Tirith... ;D That is exactly what he has promised Gimilbeth: Hador and Aegnor, but nobody else. OK, I believe it can be mentioned in retrospect. Barund had heard from Gimilbeth that Malvegil wanted "half of Rhudaur" in return for military help. Gimilbeth had apparently forgotten to tell him expressly to keep it secret (she had a very difficult day, after all). Amdir had seen Barund speaking with Gimilbeth right after her exit from the Palantir session. So, this info could be extracted from him by the Cardolani, if they woud manage to make him rant against Arthedain. OK. Herunarth could also make friends with Armacil, who is more his age. After the morning Palantir session, I think they must have a midday meal - most likely separately, so later they won't necessarily come to the library together. Whit whom is Belector usually hanging? Does he have some sort of counselor of his own? OK with me. Only I think we will need a post about Beleg learning of his eventual betrothal with Tarniel and sneaking into the Tower to look at her portrait. What do you think, Val? As for the long-term plans, I propose to make a time-jump to mid-December quite soon.
We can start this second section with Rian's post about Callon talking to the Elves in the stables (Dec. 12)
I plan Gimilbeth's talk with Romendacil of Gondor to happen on December 14. Prior to that, on the 12, when the date of the audience is announced to Gimilbeth, Galphant would persuade her to help him with Romendacil.
Gimilbeth's audience with the King of Gondor (Dec 14) will be immediately followed by the departure of the Rhudaurian party (Edelbar, Callon, the Elves) and Aegnor for Cameth Brin on December 15 (they will arrive the night of the Yule).
Then, again in late December, we could have the Cardolani delegation's conference with Gondor, then start all this plot with unauthorized use of the Palantir by Galphant, Duilin etc.
Meanwhile we have Yule preparations, Beleg, Herunarth, Calafornien etc.
Hurgon painting the Warden and Herunarth
Sulawen causing more storms... ;D Questions to ALL: Is this OK? Any changes/ additions? What else must we post before we make a time-jump to mid-December? Any ideas?
For the time being the posts to write before the big jump would be (listed not necessarily in the final order):
Malvegil/Celebrindol dated Nov 17. by Val
Celebrindol-Sulawen dated Nov 17 by Val (if he is willing)
Beleg and Tarniel’s portrait dated Nov 18 by Val (again if he is willing)
Amdir-Aegnor-Barund dated Nov 18 by Duilin
Amdir/Orogost dated Nov 18 by Duilin (or is it the same post?)
Adrahil-Celebrindol dated Nov 18 by Duilin
Gimilbeth-Hador-Belector at the Library dated Nov 18– by Gordis
