On visit

[Elboron]

Ithilien, the land close to the ruined lands of Mordor. A place where men and elves live among each other, whom the family of Faramir rule. From there Elboron came, along with five rangers as a mission he had to speak with the people of Nurn. Through the valley of Minas Morgul they came, which few had dared to pass. Still after the death of Sauron, evil seemed to rule. The dark presence that lingered, was as scary that earlier had captured the place.

When they finally reached the city, a large door could be seen on the other side of the bridge. In a high voice, Elboron shouted out."People of Nurn, open your gates cause I bring message from the king in east."`

The guards in Minas Morgul were bored, but they would never dare to show it. Their queen and king were ruthless and would never hold with lazy guards. So the six in the towers, the eight on the wall above the bridge, and the scores in the courtyard made sure to keep busy. Polishing armor, sharpening blades, and doing minor sparring kept them fit and busy. Ravyn and Canos liked nothing better. Their guards were not allowed to slack off. The guards above the door were vigilant, refusing to look away from the outlands. Ravyn had a habit of sneaking up unheard. Her jaguar, Sharan, also had quite a penchant for secrecy. If someone had the chance to kill that animal, they probably would.

The guard in charge of the gate was alerted the moment small dots were seen moving on the horizon. The guard quickly doubled; it was still important to keep a strong guard even when your city was nearly inaccessible. When the men were close - six of them, on horses - the general waited. No men would come this far, to the land so seeped in evil, without a message. He motioned for the gate man to open the doors enough for them to pass through single file. The guards inside quickly all picked up arms, waiting for the six to come. They waited for the six to come across the long bridge and come in. "Come, but prepared to leave your arms and mounts at the gate!" the general called out.

[Elboron]

As Elboron and the rangers crossed the bridge, they all could see the might of Nurnien people. Guards was seen all over, watching over their proud capital which their king and queen lived within. When they came to the gate, the guards ordered them to drop the weapons. It was understandable and Elboron did as told, same did the rangers that had gone with him. Every weapon they had taken along was now given tot hose that ruled the land, as with intension's of peace they came. From the back of Elboron, he removed bow and arrow, as from his belt he removed his two swords and a couple of knifes."Now, take this and let me speak with your ruler."He spoke and demanded, hoping they would allow him inside.

The look of the place they had come was dark and terrible as before, but with more light and color as Sauron were no more alive. However there was no doubt mystery left in the ruined mountains around, something that made Elboron think and wonder. At least the guards were not orcs, but men who earlier had worked for them. Many years ago the fortress that now belonged to the people of Nurn, had belonged to the people of Gondor. A sister fortress to Minas Tirith it had been, until evil turned it differently. Now as peace lingered, it again began to appear as the sister fortress.

[Ravyn]

It was a good thing these men had cooperated; Ravyn did not like it when people did not follow her orders. Ten guards fell in beside the six, along with the general, to escort the troupe to see Ravyn. The guards all sheathed their swords, two carrying pikes and walking in front. It would be interesting to see how this meeting went. Ravyn could be unpredictable. However, they were figuring she would be civil, even hospitable, to this group. The general did not know of the evil ruler's plan, but he didn't dare ask. "Come," he said, leading the way, "we shall go to the queen."
