Re: Chapter 3 - Dark Hearts
Decisions made and plans laid, the group leaves the mountain. Ceven uses his impressive powers to close up his cavern and hide it away from those who might seek entrance. Only those who have been there before will know where to look for the entrance.
One surprising addition to the group is Amath and two of his Lim Orchoth. They will follow Ceven and the Gonhirrim back down into Moria to fight against the Valaraukar.
Middle Earth remains peaceful throughout the journey north, but there is an edge to it know. Scents in the air, a kind of electricity that makes hair stand on end, gives the feeling of the oppressive stillness before a storm. Something is about to happen, something significant.
North of the sharp hills and valleys Amath refers to as Emyn Muil, the group splits. Ceven, Ok, the Lim Orchoth, and two of the Gonhirrim travel west toward the Misty Mountains. Following Toben's clues, the rest head east toward the Sea of Rhun: Ano, Klale, Phineas, Toben, Kornari, Saris, and Xar.
GM: Please move forward in Chapter 4.
