The walls of Caras Neldorath.

Would you stand before these gates as a friend, or as an enemy?

It is an immense team effort by the Lager der Elben construction team to put this stockade into place for each Epic Empires. The modules have to be carried to the location and assembled there, and after the event, they are again disassembled and carried to their storage location. My part in this was very small: During the original planning phase I gave feedback and Ideas to how it looks from the outside and what it should support gameplay-wise: Limited cover for defending archers and plenty of space where enemies can try to climb the wall.

When winter first begins to bite

and stones crack in the frosty night,

when pools are black and trees are bare,

‘tis evil in the Wild to fare.

*From the Fellowship of the Ring, book 2, by J.R.R.Tolkien*

What is your favourite time of day to take pictures?

I also met a pony, a really calm old lady. Her owner asked us what we were doing out there in that dreadful weather in costume, so we explained. Then suddenly she left her pony with us for a few minutes to get something from her car and we could take some pictures.

This is the last photo we took that day, I must have been frozen solid at that point but the light was just so beautiful. We went out to take pictures in the fog, but on the way back there was one clear hill, and the sun was just setting.

During her early years of travel, Elrian would wander the mortal lands as a harpist, gathering stories while searching for remnants of a specific tale: The history of her people’s last queen, who was lost long ago. Elrian had recently inherited her sword and her harp and now was confidents she could unveil all these mysteries. She found very little that was of help, however, and eventually joined the Mithrennas, the guards guarding Lindornëa.
