March 16: Arnor

Arnor, the newly reclaimed Kingdom of the North offers truly diverse travelling experiences! Visit the vibrant and newly rebuilt capital at Annúminas on the shores of Lake Evendim! Or hike the trail to the ruins of the old capital at Fornost, also known as Norbury! For the more adventurous nature-lover, the Old Forest offers a unique experience of an old growth wood! And for those who have an interest in archeology, and are not superstitious, the famous Barrow—downs are not to be missed!

Today's Challenge:
A gentle breeze brushed the hilltop, combing the ruins...

Write a story or poem that starts with this line or create a piece of art that reflects this line.

Passport Stamp:
Once you complete the challenge, you may save today's image or copy the code below to display your passport stamp wherever HTML is acceptable. To have your stamp added to your passport, please comment on this post.

Apologies, everyone, for the oops with yesterday's post for the Shire! I have no idea how I managed to lock it! I can only plead unmitigated exhaustion! :) Thanks to hhimring for catching the boo-boo so quickly and letting us know about it and to rhapsody11 for getting an alternate post up. Links to the correct post will be fixed shortly.

Yippee, off to figure out an appropriate ruin. This one has possibilities :-)

so far keeping up with this daily habit :-)

[dawn_felagund]

Yay! I'm glad this one is more inspiring. :) (I love this one, personally; I would love to write for it myself!)

[surgicalsteel.livejournal.com]

Done!

Caught up, phew!
The Voices of My People That Have Gone Before Me (http://azalaisdep.livejournal.com/79490.html).

I'm not surprised you're exhausted! Fret not, between lotr_community and mailing lists like Henneth-Annun, never mind watching other people's posts, most of us can probably rout the prompt out from somewhere if we're getting desperate!

[dawn_felagund]

Thanks, Azalais! :D I am counting my blessings for having awesome, on-the-ball comods right now, to be sure!

I've completed up through 16 ("Isildurchil", which I will post to MPTT today.) Although the links on my profile don't seem to be working, and my passport doesn't look updated past...12, I think. Rhapsody, Dawn, someone pop in with sparkly modly magic??? :(

[kayleelupin.livejournal.com]

Well, the sparkly modly magic fixed my profile stamps that *I* put on there, (up through 16 as it's now posted; thank you! :) ) but the ones actually *on* the passport are still only up through 12. Rhapsody, you there? *pokes gently, worried*

[dawn_felagund]

Kaylee, I'm not Rhapsody (obviously! :) but I did want to chime in to say that the latest passport I have for you on the server is also only updated through the 12th. Rhapsody may have fallen a bit behind; I know that I just fixed a several-day backlog yesterday for the authors I'm assigned. :) (And I'm about to fall behind again today because today's St. Patrick's Day and tomorrow is my first day teaching all day by myself--eep!)

[kayleelupin.livejournal.com]

Good luck, Dawn (not that you'll need it, I'm sure you'll do wonderfully!!) And thank you so much for all your help, and the hard work you put into this. *hugs*

Kaylee Arafinwiel

[rhapsody11.livejournal.com]

And I updated your passport! Wee!

[rhapsody11.livejournal.com]

I am here, just celebrating a whole lot of birthdays this week, including my husband! Want some delicious chocolate cake? I will update the passports today!

*hugs*

Finished and posted for review at LC.

[ex-idleleav.livejournal.com]

This one (and Mordor, Gondor, and Dol Guldur) now finished. Hooraaaay.

[rhapsody11.livejournal.com]

I noticed it, I am currently combing through the entries to see what passports need new stamps. :D Go you! Shiney's will come soon.

[arwen75]

Finished and again another one that sort of goes with one of my earlier stories. I am finding myself hopping all over for these stories. But sticking to Third Age/early fourth Age at least.
