altarielThe number called was O64.
My cards and prompts were:
Off the Map’s Edge: The Variags of Khand
Poetic Forms: Sapphic
Scientific achievement: Arithmetics
The Faithful
The King of Arnor and Gondor receives an embassy...
We are called Easterlings, and it is true we have lived in those lands for an age, keeping open the rivers running between Rhovanion and Khand. It is true many of us knelt before the Giver of Gifts and called him God.
But there are some among us who believe that we came out of the North, like the sons of Eorl that you call brothers. Some of us listened to the Blue Wise Men and heard in their words the whisper of the All-Father, the Elder King.
Some of us have long called you brothers, in secret, from afar.
*
I got my funny ideas about Variags from here.
One plus one
Amrothos and Akilah
Darkly veiled you sat in your chair and watched me
(Sitting by you tongue-tied, lacking in language,
Counting up the reasons, sound and rational, di-
Viding you from me),
Lightly traced your fingers – positive, natural –
Fraction by smooth fraction, argued, persuaded:
One and one joined can make surely more than the
Sum of each other.
