"When his eyes in turn were uncovered, Frodo looked up and caught his breath. They were standing in an open space. To the left stood a great mound, covered with a sward of grass as green as Springtime in the Elder Days. Upon it, as a double crown, grew two circles of trees: the outer had bark of snowy white, and were leafless but beautiful in their shapely nakedness; the inner were mallorn-trees of great height, still arrayed in pale gold. High amid the branches of a towering tree that stood in the centre of all there gleamed a white flet. At the feet of the trees, and all about the green hillsides the grass was studded with small golden flowers shaped like stars. Among them, nodding on slender stalks, were other flowers, white and palest green: they glimmered as a mist between the rich hue of the grass. Over all the sky was blue, and the sun of afternoon glowed upon the hill and cast long green shadows beneath the trees. ’Behold! You are come to Cerin Amroth,’ said Haldir. ’For this is the heart of the ancient realm as it was long ago, and here is the mound of Amroth, where in happier days his high house was built. Here ever bloom the winter flowers in the unfading grass: the yellow elanor, and the pale niphredil. Here we will stay awhile, and come to the city of the Galadhrim at dusk.’" ~ The Lord of the Rings, the Fellowship of the Ring; Book 2, Chapter 6 ~ Lothlórien
Welcome to fair Lothlórien, wanderer, and to the fairest place of all the forest; Cerin Amroth. Amidst the Niphredil and Elanor, and the double crown of white and gold trees stands the high mallorn that once held Amroth’s home. Now his talan is momentarily the home of several elven maidens and lads, ready to welcome you into the Golden Wood and answer any question you might have. Come, climb the hithlain rope ladder that leads up into the mallorn, do not fear the height! You are welcome here.

Yes, of course - a pipe is only one of the uses for such a device *wisenod* It also serves as a type of missile-throwing device, so one can surmise it must be some sort of primitive bow...savvy?
The cookies! The cookies! I cannot resist...*drools*
millerir - 50 points is nothing, believe me. You'll make it up in no time, once you jump into the Kingdoms - and if you need any help in that regard, just ask. In the last 6 months I left Lorien for Mordor, then moved to Minas Tirith for a day or two, then back to Mordor, then to Lothlorien, then back to Mordor (again) - and I'm coming back here (very) soon. So add all that up, and a name change and back again while I was in MT, and there's a few hundred! Some might argue that I can spare them anyway, but hey - easy come, easy go!
Millerir - heya, welcome! Well, I understand you, but do not hesitate to join
us. Just jump into our activities,
and you'll see, you'll soon find yourself with many points. *wise nods* I'm afraid that members cannot donate points, but, as Gwenne says, we're happy to share cookies!
Uuu lots of chocholate Thank you, I'll take some cake, well and some cookies since I don't see lots of people eating them, we don't want them to become spoiled
*thinks seriously about giving the cookies away to oldbies* okay, Lothy...since those brownies look absolutely yum, I'll give some cookies in exchange. And since ye beg so purtyfully, ye can have some too, Gwenne. *g*
*sigh* looks like we need to do some serious recruiting *goes off to lure newbies*
I've got brownies! *holds them out for the newbies* Hey Nen, I'll give you a couple of my brownies if you give me some cookies, even if they are for the newbies! *makes puppy dog face*
Ah! A lovely new thread for the young 'uns! *brings out a batch of freshly baked cookies and lays them on a table with a welcoming jug of lemonade* Anyone?....
