“I've wandered since Tharbad so I thank you for your aid.” Despite his strange accent and clothing, this Man looked like one of the Dunedain as he sat beside the small fire.
“Thirty leagues to the east then fifteen leagues past the ford,” the ranger told him again. “Rivendell it is called in Westron.”
Boromir of Gondor leaned forward to warm his hands. “And all the while I asked for Imladris. I was close to despair before we chanced to meet.”
The ranger looked up from stirring the rabbit stew. “I see nothing of chance in your journey, my friend.”

“From Minas Tirith? Is that along the Greenway? I hope it was not a hard journey.” Looks like a ranger, Barliman thought, excepting he’s too finely dressed.
“Elves? No elves ever stop at the Pony, but we see some rangers and dwarves. They have business along the East Road. The dwarves, I mean, not the rangers. Who knows what those rangers are up to.”
“There’s no Imladris hereabouts. Sorry I can’t be more help, Master Boromir. After you’ve had some supper, would you care to join the company?” The common room would be packed to hear this princely traveler’s tales.

Author: Lady_Branwyn
Characters: Original Character, Boromir

Rating: G
Tolman was beating the bounds when one of the Big Folk came striding up the south road. Alone and on foot but armed with a sword.
Tolman drew his bow and nocked an arrow. “Just turn around, master, and go back to wherever you come from."
“Are you a Halfling?” the Outsider asked, eyes wide with amazement.
“Hobbit, if you please, master,” Tolman replied, aiming the arrow at his heart.
“I seek Elrond Half-elven, lord of Imladris.”
“Well, he isn't here. There ain't no elves, half or otherwise, in the Shire. And no Men neither, if you take my meaning.”

Title: The Great Wain
Author: Branwyn
Characters: Merry, Eowyn
Source: ROTK (book)
Warnings: none
Eowyn helped him climb down to the grass. Merry felt so heavy, weighed low by grief and the long, jolting hours in harness. Behind them, the king’s wain rose like a barrow, deepest black against the evening sky.
She pointed to seven stars that shone high overhead. “In the Mark, those are called the Great Wain. Now when I look at them, I will think of Theoden King.”
“That is also their name in the Shire. And I will think of him, too.”
Eowyn held out her hand. Together they walked toward the fires and the kindly cheer of camp.
********************
Note: In "The Hobbit," the Plough or Big Dipper is referred to as the Wain, and since Tolkien states that there are cultural similarities between the hobbits and the Rohirrim (who originally lived in the northern lands), it isn't unreasonable to assume that the Riders called it by the same name.

Slowly, Ragnvald led the way, skirting the heaps of the slain. He had bound up his companion’s wounds, but they needed to find the healers. The oliphaunt’s tusks had opened a gash along his shoulder and breast.
As they edged past the creature’s mangled hulk, the other trembled and sweated.
“Steady now,” Ragnvald said. “It is dead and can do no more harm. See, we are nearly past it.”
His companion shuddered and blew out his breath in an uneasy sigh.
“Would that this once I could bear you on my back,” Ragnvald murmured as he stroked the horse’s muzzle.

Lord Branwyn and I hauled the duvets and flannel sheets out of storage today, so we are now officially ready for winter. We are celebrating with hot chocolate spiked with rum.
