Greetings from The Rangers of Tharbad, Well met fellow rangers

Greetings ,
I am Telchontar, High council member and recruitment officer of the Rangers of Tharbad. It is always a delight to find yourself among fellow rangers. Especially when they are as devoted and passionate as the Rangers of Forochel. I would like to congratulate you on your wonderful forums: Never would I expect to find so much warmth in the ice bays of The North. It is a relief to see that serious and organised ranger kinships are still around. We would be more than happy if you visited our halls here. We try to hold some intersting discussions there, and the participation of your members would be an honour. Humble but warm inns and our Tharbdian Ale awaits the weary travellers from the north.

With honour,
Telchontar Thorodil - a friend from the South

P.S: Who is appointed to be responsible for recruiting in RoF. I would very much like to exhange some thoughts with him/her about our 'jobs'.

Hail Telchontar! Welcome to our halls, feel free to make yourself at home. It is truly an honor to have you in the ice bay. I will surely stop by your forums and post around a bit, and encourage the others as well. Oh, and btw...we don't really have a designated recruiter/diplomat. We all kinda just share the job.

Anyways, welcome to Forochel friend.

Hail and well met Telchontar!

Thank you for the kind words, and for stopping by our halls. I will be sure to visit yours as well, if you have a chance stop by the Buttered Bull Inn for a Forochale. I know the barkeep pretty well, so I'm sure you will be well taken care of. You can enjoy a nice ale by the fire, and a smoke as well if you wish. I always have some fine Haflings leaf put away for such occasions.

As Eoden said we recruit by committee, everyone is involved and has a say in the process. I think you could speak to any of the Kinsmen on this subject. I would be interested to speak with you about how the RoT goes about it. Feel free to contact me any time.

Again Thank you for visiting and please feel free to drop in when you are in Forochel and warm up by our hearth. You and any of your kin are welcome here any time.

The world may be getting colder and darker, but in these strange times you shall find friends in the most unexpected places. And the frozen bay of the North is one of them! Thank you for your warm welcome: I will most certainly taste your Ale, ForochALE has become very popular in all of middle-earth. I guess its due to the warm spirits of the folk that serve it!

P.S: you can also check out our site www.tharbad.com . It includes our joinning page through which our members fill in their online app.

Well, I'll follow Tel here by saying hello friends. (Tel, I just came to do this and saw you beat me to it. You dirty rat.) Anyways, I was just stopping by to say hello. I heard ale, so I think I'll be off to warm myself by the fire. Thank you for the warm welcome. It will be well met at our place as well.

Aye, Tel, the world may be getting colder and darker, but as long as friends roam the earth, my soul shall forever be heated. Greetings Rangers! My name is Earondo (or Tar-Amandil, whichever you prefer), member of the High Council of the Rangers of Tharbad.
How goes the Rangers of Forochel? It has been quite a long time since I last wandered these halls, and what fine halls you have! Im impressed. Well, heres to long life, and greater bonding between our kinships!
*downs ale*

Be well!

Welcome to Forochel Earondo, and thank you for stopping by. In these times of growing darkness it is truely a blessing to have friends in all the far corners of Arda.

Our halls are still under construction, but you will find all a weary traveler needs to sustain oneself is available. Please join us for an Ale by the fire in the Buttered Bulll. If you find yourself in need of anything during your visit, please find me and I will see to it.

Mae govannen, Angus! Well met, indeed. Glad to see we have friends in these parts. I trust things are going well for the Rangers of Forochel?

Greetings to you as well Beleg. Nice to see you made it to Forochel, and by all means make yourself at home. Indeed we are doing fine, despite a few set backs the past couple of months. I see you have already visited the Buttered Bull so I'm going to head over and get you an Ale!!

Enjoy!!

Welcome to the boards all of you, I'm glad you like it here, you can make yourself at home.

Oh, don't worry, I already have. But I'm glad to see we now have your permission. Hehe.

Well I'm glad to see you feel comfortable Matt. Feel free to kick your boots off and put your feet on the coffee table.

Greetings Rangers of Forochel! Tis a long and cold journey to your home at the feet of the Blue Mountains, but it is worth it. I am glad to see that we have friends in these parts. May our friendship never wane.

In the meantime, I think I'll drop by the Buttered Bull to warm my chilled bones....

Thank you for that map that your granted us with, Angus, and it cleared up quite a bit in this old mind. Forgive me for not wandering around lately, I have been quite ill. However, the sun smiles warmly on me now, and I can visit those that I enjoy visiting! Merry close-enough-to-xmas-week Week!

You are very welcome Earondo, you have been missed my friend. I hope you are feeling better, and a happy holiday to you and yours!

And I have missed this delightful corner of peace and quite from the business and eyesores of the rest of the kinships in Middle-Earth. I feel at ease when I visit the RoF. As I make my final rounds before the holidays, I wish the Rangers a very merry Christmas and a happy New Year, if I dont see you until then!

Merry Christmas!

As we enjoy the company of those that appriciate our solitude. Our home is always open to you and the RoT, may our frienship endure the coming year and many more to come!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you Tar and the rest of the RoT!

May the coming year bring what the latter failed to bring. And may the New Year live to see Lotro's Release!

It would surely be a blessing to reap the harvest of the seeds sown the past years!

May we all enjoy the harvest and remember the friends we have met along the way, some that no longer walk our halls.

I sing this for them!

Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
And never brought to mind?
Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
And auld lang syne?

For auld lang syne, my dear
For auld Lang syne,
We'll tak a cup o kindness yet,
For auld lang syne!

And there's a hand my trusty fiere,
And gie's a hand o thine
And we'll tak a right guid-willie waught,
For auld lang syne

For auld lang syne, my dear
For auld Lang syne,
We'll tak a cup o kindness yet,
For auld lang syne!

*Takes large draw from his tankard*

A beautiful song, Angus, and indeed, we need to remember those who have given up hope in what we are striving for.

A Happy New Year, one and all! May this new year be kind to the Rangers of Forochel, and may they prosper through all that is good. May the friendship between the Rangers of Tharbad and the Rangers of Forochel never wither while Arda lives!

*Blows the dust off the page.*

Wow, I see this thing hasn't been used in awhile. So, I thought, "What the heck? Why not bring it back to life?" Well, did it work? Let's watch and find out.

Hello Matt... how do you fare?

Hey guys! We haven't seen you for a while. Things are going very well for the RoT; we're a thriving kinship now. And how about you guys? I haven't heard anything of you for some time...

Business is slow, Maravathar, dark times have been ours lately. But the RoF always pull through. Good to hear your kin is prosperous, I will visit you when I have the chance.

bows.

Wow, thanks for making the effort to visit us here Marav. Things are going quite slow here, our main site is down so that doesn't help very much. Hope all is well in Tharbad.

-eoden

Hello!

How are things? I see that the main site and forums are down, but good job in getting these ones back up and going. So, anything new?

Welcome Maravathar!

Things are a bit slow here, but we expect things to pick up sooner or later.

Yes, the slow season is nigh. But I'm sure things'll pick up as we near release.

We certainly hope so.

yeah its getting gradually back to normal. Lets hope everything comes together nicely

Any sign of Seanan or Angus lately?

Angus has been MIA for a while... work related.

Seanan is still hovering around somewhere. He only appears when he chooses to, like a good ranger.

Pops his head through the door.

"Greetings Maravathar, how have you been of late. I heard rumors in the wild, whispers of beasts and trees, that you were passing through our neck of the woods. I had no choice but to return to our halls to share some tales and have a good ale.... It has been too long since I had the Forochale refresh my throat."

Whispers of beasts? I am not sure I want to know what he has been up to...

You know EXACTLY what I've been up to, Darhil, and did you already shave your derričre like we agreed on?

Just stopping by to say hello all. so, "HELLO ALL!"

Hello Mattimeo, thanks for stopping by. I hope all is well?

Everything is great here. Can't complain much. We have a new leader voted upon by the higher ranking rangers of RoT now. Lord Arahad is doing a fine job as prince of tharbad.

Indeed, we've just finished voting in our new leadership:

Prince - Arahad

Elder - Earondo
Taskmaster - Nitefalas
Chieftain - Rufio
Treasurer - Thranin
Ambassador - ME!

Things are progressing nicely in our kinship. How about yours? I know you were going through a dry time not long ago - have things turned around?

And Seanan, it's good to see you! It seems ages ago that we RPed together.

We're still having a rough season, but things should pull together a little better once our official site is back in business.

Any estimates on when that may be?

soon hopefully, but we have all the time

You may have all the time, but time is still slipping by in the sands of life. If you need help, just give us Rangers a call.

thanks for the offer. Its good to know we have friends. I think well be fine trust me

Good to see you too my friend, I believe it has indeed been an age since we went adventuring. Maybe when the new sit is up and running we shall set out into the wild once more.
