See the capital city of Rohan, Edoras, and the Golden Hall of Meduseld! Visit the amazing Glittering Caverns of Aglarond, site of the famous Battle of the Hornburg at Helm’s Deep!

Today's Challenge:
A horse is the projection of peoples' dreams about themselves - strong, powerful, beautiful - and it has the capability of giving us escape from our mundane existence.
Pam Brown

If I am the mod who handles your passport, your passport should be completely updated as of this posting. Please check and make sure that you have all of the stamps that you've claimed; I probably did about 200 this morning, so mistakes are highly likely! :) If you are still missing stamps, either comment here or email me at DawnFelagund@gmail.com. (Please note that this only applies to authors assigned to me; I think Rhapsody and Tarion are pretty caught up too but can't be 100% sure of that!) Thanks to all of you for your patience with my crazy last week and subsequent dereliction of passport-stamping duties! :)
