Hiril Nelnardis has returned from the east but not with her companion Ebbephant. Terrible news she carried back to Imladris. Hir Ebbephant has been wounded in battle and is being tended by the healers of Lothlorien. I was in disbelief as Hiril Nelnardis shared the news with Hirils Elisbeth and Faorie upon her return. From the news she bears the wound is a grevious one, which even if he should recover from in body could take his spirit much longer.

We have now returned to Imladris from travelling through Eregion and onwards into Enedwaith learning what we could about the taint which was creeping towards Imladris.

There had been subtle signs noticed by the warders of the vale which had prompted Hir Elrond to summon council to discuss the matter. He had then sent two of the most trusted members of the warders myself and Hiril Elisbeth to discover how far this taint had spread and any other obvious signs which might show them away to cure the problem.

The final days here in the Elven valley fly by, we visit our ponies while making final preparations, Scrumpy seemed very happy and eager, I guess like me it has been quite restful for him. Though as lovely as it is to be here, I long to be home and see the Shire again, the simple things in life really do come to mind when they are not present. I like my routine, and I like gravy, two things that have been quite absent on this trip.
