Oh
hi there! This is Tomrica Everton once
again - “wandering” back to you after collecting my map and notes (wanderer-part-1). Today, we will complete our adventures with
explorer extraordinaire Dewitt, and his
trusty, mighty steed Floid. Last time if
you remember, we followed these two primarily around areas in Eriador. This time, will head east, into the lands of
Rhovanion...
The
Endless Stair, north of Jazârgund, Moria
Floid
& Dewitt are cultured! Besides
appreciating the outdoor landscape, how could you not appreciate the majesty
and craftsmanship of the dwarves of Moria?
The bridge is currently out, so our friends are on the cliff’s edge to
the east. Once again, watch out for the
edge fellow wanderers - we do not want any incapacitations due to misadventure! [2.6S, 105.9W]
Northern
bank of the Celebrant, Nanduhirion (Dimrill Dale), Lothlórien
The
Golden Wood, the heart of the Elves in Middle-earth and home to the fair
Galadhrim and The House of Celeborn.
What a site and a site not to be missed!
Fearing the elves would not appreciate them drinking on the bridgeway to
Caras Galadhon, we find our friends on a lofty cliffside perch overlooking the
woods and the Celebrant river. Truly an
extraordinary view! [14.4S, 74.8W]
Ashenslades,
Mirkwood
And
Bilbo wanted to come back here? I find
that rather odd as it is quite dark and infested with foul creatures. Maybe he meant another area of this dank
forest, but where? I can’t see anything
on the horizon - it’s like pea soup out here!
I guess this is as good of a spot as any to get your bearings and tip
one back. Don’t muddle your wits too
much though, as the paths around here can be confusing... [17.5S, 46.2W]
And
thus, returing to the Shire, ends our little adventure for this time. Apparently, after visiting Floid and Dewit in
all these locations, people started calling me “the Wanderer” too. I wonder why that is - do I have some sort of
name tag floating above my head? I’m
trying to see if something is there, but I just don’t bend backwards that
way! Pfft, probably nonsense
anyways. Until next time good free
peoples - wander safely, and may the road and your adventures go ever on and
on... ~ T ~

Love the story! And I'll certainly have to check some locations. I've encountered Floid and Dewit a few times, but was never sure if they had a particular purpose. :)
Thanks lovely Ravanel! Have fun finding the rest of their spots - I'm sure they will be please to meet a lore master of such high regard, on a steed of such renown as your own.
Pretty interesting, thank you a lot for the info, I'll have to check that out!
