Imladris, 47th day of Laer
My business here in Imladris is almost concluded. Lord Elrond is truly a great and wise giver of counsel and I shall treasure his words of hope and advice in the days ahead! I have only some others to speak with then all will be done. On the morrow, we will to set off on the road westward. Most of our gear is packed now, ready for departure.
It seems a gathering is set to take place in Imladris, a celebration of some kind, and we will try to attend. It would bring our stay here to an enjoyable close: some wine, dance and song would be most welcome, and shall lighten our journey no end! We intend to hold a small ceremony of our own before we leave the valley of the Bruinen; a token of our remembrance for those who did not return from the black land of the east…
