Lotharn was brought suitable clothing for the occassion. A dark green tunic and breaches with a lighter green coat that came down to his knees. A new harness with scabards had been made and given to him for his swords while he was in Greendale. He could not be wearing his rucksack all the time. To top it off he was presented with a golden circlet to place on his head. He was after all kin of one of the elders, a family that had a very long and honored history. When the time came he was escorted by Timberlane to the meeting.<br/><br/>The meeting was taking place in a large round room that had large high back chairs equally spaced about the room, for each of those attending the meeting, with the elders at the head of the room In the middle of the room was a small pedestal with a round top. The humans, dwarfs, and elves came in from different directions, different doors and took their assigned seats. As Pegawen, Allassiel, and Lotharn entered they looked at them. The one elder that had spoken upon their arrival stood and said, "This is Pegawen, Allassiel, and Lotharn, elves of from the west, across the great plain. Lotharn is the grand son of Vumar Keovic, my wife's Brother, who was given one of the key stones to take and hide. He now brings it back to us as the prophesy has fore told."<br/><br/>One of the Dwarfs stood, "Yes and the bringer of doom! The prophesy also says that if Evil gather's the key then all will be lost and Evil will reign supreme."<br/><br/>Now that was something that had been left out of the telling by Timberlane. If Morgan, the one that held another of the stones got the other three he could free his master and then the war would go on again but probably much worse then before.<br/><br/>One of the humans that wore a crown, a king perhaps, rose, "Send it back to the West let it be hidden again and forgotten about. What good would it do if we were able to get the other three, epecially the one from Morgan. We would free the evil one once more as well and does any have the means to kill him as the prophesy says!"<br/><br/>Another of the human kings rose and said, "Even if we do set out to find these keys, who will go, who will brave the dangers and the constant onslaught of the undead to wrestle the key from their grasps and any that might be found?"<br/><br/>The arguments began, the humans and dwarfs wanting it to be gone and leave things be. The Elves more level headed saying that now that it was here the other two would reveal themselves. Even if it was sent west again the forces of Morgan would seek it and then the others.<br/><br/>Lotharn listened shaking his head. He moved forward to the pedastal and looked around the room and then he spoke up with a loud voice. "My Grandfather was given the key stone to protect, knowing that one day it would return with one of his family members. I will go seek the others and I will find this Morgan and take from him the one he has. The question now remains, who here is brave enough to go with me, who has the courage to face the dangers that will lie a head!"<br/><br/>That made them stop talking and look at him. Timberlane smiled and Chuckled. Oh how much like Gandalf he seemed. All they needed now were four Hobbits and it would again be like the War of the Ring. But here there were no Hobbits it seemed. He had inquired and found that there were no such race. It seemed the Shire was the only place that they thrived.
