House Thorongial

Dear Marlyn

​Whilst you and I have never been acquainted in person, Saeldith holds you in the highest esteem. I write to you now to thank you for your letter and the interesting news it contains - it is always good to hear of the lands we have left behind.

So we have finally returned to Bree. I have enjoyed resting back in our home after the long ride from Rivendell. I look to the future with a new hope in my heart, such as I have not felt for many years.

Bree does not seem as friendly as I remember. The hairs are always standing on the back of my neck. I feel like I am being watched. It reminds me of... no, I cannot bring that up so soon. I am haunted by that dark time such that all around me seems tinged with grey.

Dear Lord Herór Dorghat,

It is the Honour of my husband and me to welcome your son in our halls here in Bree!
We, my officers and me,  will of course try our best to let your son finish his knight training at our House.
He is welcome to visit us at our residence in 1 High Road, Cranworth; anytime.
 
Kind regards, also to your wife,

So it has happened at last!

I have imagined this day for so long, but I can hardly believe it is now here. It has been a long, hard journey from the dark times in exile. Now I can safely say I am happy. I have a loving wife, something I did not think I would live long enough to see. A humble soldier  becoming a Lord through marriage.

Dear Lady Saeldith Thorongial,

It has been some time since I recorded my thoughts. So much has kept me busy, away from Bree and my responsibilities. While it felt good to ride away and once again experience the roughness of the Wilds, I could not help but miss the simpler, more joyful life amongst my companions.
