Apologies for my absence people - went on holiday not long after I put this up and I've been real busy since then. 

[@Fernstone] Still love your characters, haha! However, I think the reasoning behind Cassi going to investigate is a tad unlikely, in my eyes at least. Hobbit's tend to keep to themselves, so I wonder if they'd bother sending someone to look at possible troubles when it's so far away, and, at this point, quite insignificant. Perhaps a more personal reason would suit them better? A relative that visited there, or a trading caravan that hasn't come back yet? You are free to decide - I'd imagine all Hobbits that go along would go for the same reason. :) As for Lhindel, accepted!


[@The Muse of Eru] I'll reserve judgement until she's properly finished, but I am liking Nehanda so far!
