Eledhwen...

Eledhwen. That is my name in the realms of Arda. Surname? Glad you asked. That would be Taur'Nandaro. Fully translated to common it would be Elf Sheen Forest Harper. Suitable. Fitting. Not so much a surname as a descriptive name. Works for me.

I am far more Harper than Ranger these days, although both are present, naturally.

I am working out how to make a good case for one of my smaller harps such that I can carry it on saunters through the hills and forests. With my staff, my Harpers' Long Knife, a sling, and my harp, I am so very well armed only a fool would try me.

I would we could have a Ranger Moot hereabouts. That would be an awesome thing. There are too few of us, sadly. There are few places with good land for a camping outing and away from people and modernity. Densely populated tiny state, drawback of. ;) One adapts.

I still shoot the bow. I still hunt with it.

I still have my spear...I still wish I could hunt with it.

I have my sword...hell, I'd be happy just to be able to carry it out there.

I do  have my harp, and it is a weapon deadly indeed, when needs must.

I am working on woolen garments since Winter is nearly here...although I am not at all certain how cold it will get this year. Also linen garments. I have chosen to use my calcei for shoes, mostly. The hobnails give traction and they look great! I am considering dying them.

Various pouches and such to be made. A Crane Bag of course, this one designed with pockets for things like tuning wrenches, tuners, etc. In addition to the usual items.

Here is the Ranger-Harper in a circle of stone;
