User blog:Saws311/The Adventures, Restoring Arnor

There was a noble and valiant man named Thorondir, son of Halbarad, of the Dúnedain. Arnor was being restored after the War of the Ring. He was a commander of the Dúnedain as appointed by King Aragorn in Gondor. One day, Thorondir was given a message to make for Edoras to speak to King Eomer who resided there. Thorondir gathered 10 of the restored Arnorian men and set off from his city in the Angle for Rohan on the 1st of Rethe 4139, as in the Shire calendars. They went southward, hoping to reach Tharbad by the river. Ten days had passed in their long river journey. Then, when they went to the shore for rest, they found a Ranger camp to house them for the night. Suddenly, they heard the sound of an orc horn. The men gathered their arms, and prepared for battle. It was a long and horrible night, and when it ended, only 2 of the Arnorian men, the Ranger captain, and Thorondir were left. Thorondir and his disembodied army made it to Tharbad in 20 days. By then it was already the first of Astron. They were housed in Tharbad for a week, but Thorondir had no more coins to hire any men. They made it for Enedwaith when they heard a snarling sound at night. Lone wargs had attacked them and Thorondir remained victorious.

Thorondir passed through the long loneliness of Enedwaith, find what food he could kill. He happenend to find some gravel, from which he obtained flint. He grapped a bit of metal from his pockets and started a fire. With plenty of cooked food, it took him a month to get to the Ford of Ise. Check out Part 2 which will probably be done on Jan. 3!
