When a new cart of mead arrives at Edoras, one keg is rolled to the centre of the tavern for all to take freely, in the name of our fallen riders and all our honoured dead.  This night we drink to their memory, for they would have us spend our breath on song, and tale, and laughter.

Tarnin Austa ( "Gates of Summer" or more literally "Passage into Summer") was a celebration held in the city of Gondolin on the first day of summer each year. It was custom to begin a solemn ceremony at midnight, continuing it until dawn of Tarnin Austa. No one could speak from midnight to daybreak, but upon the rising of the sun the elves would burst into ancient songs, with choirs standing upon the eastern wall. At that time the city was filled with silver lamps, and lights of jeweled colors hung on the branches of the new-leaved trees.

O the summer time has come 
and the trees are sweetly blooming 
and the wild mountain thyme 
grows around the blooming heather. 

Will ye go lassie, go?   
 

The garrison at Fréasburg have reported a wargpack menacing the farms and homesteads that supply and surround the frontier fortress. The commander of the oath-bound warband has given his word they be dealt with. The company rides out with the goal of wiping these enemies from the hills.
