Message: <blockquote data-quote="Mirth" data-source="post: 610452" data-attributes="member: 5242">"It has been too long since I have been among men and hobbit-folk," Sirandir thought to himself as he left his boat on the shore of the River Mitheithel and prepared to make his way west on the Great East Road. Looking back, he contemplated the fast flowing water he loved so dearly,  "Life truly is like a river and being among men is like traversing the rapids, their pace is so quick and their energy boundless."Bemused, the silvan elf continued his metaphor in his mind, "It is so much different here than back home in the land of dream, which is more like a slow, meandering stream. Time passes so slowly for the galadhrim that sometimes it is hard for us to remember the speed with which it passes for mortals." Laughing to himself, Sirandir's mouth broke into a wide grin, "Of course, in comparison, my time spent in Fangorn with the Onodrim was like a pool of rainwater, undisturbed except for slight changes in the weather."A few days later, Amon Sul finally came into view, bringing with it a flood of memories for the long-lived Sirandir - the Witch-King - young Araphor, the boy king - an extended visit at Imladris cut short so that he could ride out with Glorfindel and do bloody battle at the royal city of Fornost. "How sad to see the Tower now, a broken reminder of its former glory." It was then that Galadriel's request came back to him, and her vision of the figure in green mail on the Weathertop. Of course, he could not refuse her but he was somewhat reluctant to leave Lorien in these times of strife. However, her reasoning for choosing him was sound and truthfully he had been restless to travel the watery byways of Middle-earth once again as he had done so often in the past. Taking a long breath, Sirandir did a final check of his bow and quiver, gave a quick search of the horizon and picked up the pace as he headed toward Amon Sul and the ascent to the top.----------------Sirandir = sir (river) + randir (wanderer)How Sirandir traveled to Amon Sul - River Celebrant (Silverlode) to Kheled-zaram (Mirrormere), up Dimrill Stair and across Redhorn Pass, down to River Sirannon to River Glanduin, through Nin-in-Eilph (Swanfleet) to River Mitheithel (Hoarwell) to the Last Bridge then across to Amon Sul on the Great East Road that crosses Eriador (Lone-lands).Sorry this took so long to come together, but I hope that it's enough to work with. Let me know what to do from here <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> </blockquote>
