Vale of Thrain

A Climb Through The Snow

Diary

The climate of the Vale of Thrain becomes noticeably different as soon as one enters it. It is as if nature itself came to recognize the land as belonging of the dwarves. For some this makes Thorin’s Gate unapproachable but I have made the journey several times before. The path is not as steep as those among the mountains themselves are, and the cold is not so different to that I have experienced visiting northern Forlindon.

-Praise along the road-

 

 

How gracious are thy Halls, Thorin Oakenshield!
High in your father's valley, the throne of your youth awaits.
The arms of your lineage shelter its people in the mountains;
They give warmth and new strength to the sons of Durin.

Already the slender squirrel, the wildcat and the young aurochs, 
In their garments of milk and snow, roam free on thy slopes.
He who returns home hastens his pace
When he savors the sweet nearness of thy halls.

A lonely cabin in the Vale of Thrain.

Just outside the road leading into Thorin's Hall. That's Fleuricia behind me. She was perfectly warm; I, however, had to buy some new clothing to handle the frigid mountians.

Eredian sitting by the campfire, contemplating his life so far; reminiscing his life in Forochel, and how he missed that blissful ignorance to the world around him.

Story
((Any who frequent the road past Noglond will notice the results of recent Goblin depredations in the area. The damage is described below.)) As the traveller approaches Noglond from the west, his nostrils are assaulted by the mixed odors of burnt wood and decaying meat. Near the road, and occasionally on it, lie the corpses of recently slain animals, lynx, bears, and sundry birds, animals that were wantonly slain and thrown down on the road to rot.
