[The woman who appears on the screen is sitting on the floor of a forest in what is obviously a makeshift camp. The chirping of birds and the faint sounds of horses can be heard in the background. Her first message is short and simple, open to everyone (though, admittedly, there are a few who she is particularly hoping to hear from).]


I am curious;  how many of you hail from Arda? When did you see it last?

For those who do not, tell me something of your world, if you will. I have time enough for a tale or two.

[Locked to Seelie]

Gi suilon. I am known to some of you already; for those to whom I am not, I will offer a short introduction. [She gives a little nod of her head- not a bow, but still with a slightly formal air.] I am Galadriel, formerly of Lothlórien.

I regret very much that I am not able to offer my greetings in person to those of you who have newly arrived, but, alas, circumstances necessitate my presence elsewhere.

Regardless of my absence, I would offer you- and those who have been longer in this world- use of the lembas and miruvor I received as a boon. Lembas, for those who are unaware, are Elven waybread. My supply of these is dwindling and even a little will provide nourishment for days, so I ask that you take only at need and sparingly. Miruvor is healing cordial, though it may also be used simply to renew strength. Of this I have more, but, again, do not use it needlessly. Both the lembas and the miruvor I keep in my quarters; my maid is likely to be about and able to show you to it. If not, you may contact me and I will find a way to make arrangements.

Upon my return, I will no doubt meet many of you for myself and I will be glad to offer what assistance I may, for I know well that this place may be frightening and strange, however welcoming our hosts may mean to be. Until then, keep well.

[Ordinarily, she would deem this unnecessary, but she does know that he was traveling recently. And it's best he know as soon as possible.]

I do not know if you have heard, cousin, but yet another kinsman has found his way to this world.

[Any other thoughts that may have been running through her head halt at the mention of children. She nods.]

I am a mother myself; indeed, I travel now simply because I could not bear the thought of my own daughter journeying this world alone. I could not refuse this request. You need only tell me of your children and it will be done.

[ He breathes a sigh of ready relief, and nods. His grave, winter-grey eyes meet hers. ]

I will forward you the best description of them I can by text, for... I'm not the cleverest man with words, and it will take me some time to come by a description that does justice by them, and says best what they look like without the lense of a father's love; they are six in all.

If you are long abroad, then I may be able to help make arrangements for you from the castle, if you so like, in return for your care in this. I know the mews keep birds which wing to all the major settlements, and I may be able to ask for rooms be kept for you at inns, or fresh horses held for you.

[Six! Goodness, his poor wife.] I understand. Take what time you need.

You need do nothing in return, but if you would offer us this kindness still, I would be most grateful. I should have thought to send word ahead myself, but our plans were made in haste.
