Raising The Shire

Pareth of Gondor and her companion Tule Sloughfoot waited patiently in the freezing cold outpost in Sûrî-Kylä for the other members of their hunting party. They would be travelling to Kuru-Leiri and it would be a cold long journey.

Pareth hated the cold and longed for the warmth of her home in southern Gondor. But she could not desert her companions now. There was so much to do and warriors of all races were desperately needed to stem the flow of evil creatures, all servants of Sauron.

Even in this frozen tundra, evil lingered. And the Lossoth peoples, who were not the most trusting sort, began to show their admiration of Pareth’s fellowship. The Lossoth gave Pareth some special ice wine that helps to dispel the cold which she gladly shared with her companions.

It wasn’t much, but that small gesture, gave Pareth hope. Even in this cold dreary place, people were generous if they trusted you, and that was all she needed to know to keep on going. Tule Sloughfoot’s cheerfulness helped too. The hobbit minstrel sang and played music whenever they weren’t fighting, and so Pareth couldn’t help but laugh at her antics. Tule charmed everyone she met. She was quite a likable hobbit but dangerous if crossed and Pareth respected her many abilities.

That night Tule, Pareth, and others in their group slew many evil creatures and their heroic deeds were talked about for many years to come.
