That Which Survived [Silmarillion/LoTR AU Quest]

[X] Set up shop in an inn?

The briny scent of the ocean, the domain of your former lord Ulmo, is nostalgic.

You find yourself simply relaxing and enjoying yourself by the open window by the inn's common area, gazing out at the blue green sea beneath a blue sky. It's something that you do frequently as you enjoyed yourself in the common area, ordering exquisite meals paired with wine and ale.

Now and then, you would simple settle for looking at those who stay in the common area much like a queen would over her court.

While you appeared to do nothing, that wasn't quite true.

You were building up an impression even as you spend silver and gold coinage like a fish would breath water.

The noble lady, with hair of flax and gold, who whiles away her time at the inn overlooking the harbour. There were rumours that you were simply awaiting the return of a valiant captain, or perhaps you were the consort lady of a noble lord, or you were an elf princess who had cut her ears to hide her identity...

Still, even as you stayed here, rumors found its way to you. In the aftermath of the fall of Sauron, Isildur had fallen in the distant marches as he returned from Mordor.

It was said that he and his retinue were lost to Orks.

Still, it was an exciting time for those in Umbar, as the shipwrights worked on more ships. Not for plying the seas as merchants... but more as wolves of the sea... to hunt down the slow merchant ships.

Eventually, you found yourself with an invitation to visit Lord Unas, a self styled admiral of a 'small' fleet of privateer ships and one of the lords of Umbar.

A small dinner invitation to a mysterious lady.

Little unsure of how this would work considering it's basically "barbarian, with a hint of renaissance Iralian". But, fuck it.

It was... amusing what the people of Umbar held to be "elvish". True elves would have held it to be scandalous, other cities and nations would have held it to be lewd and scandalous, certainly not fit for polite society.

You had to admit that you were simply amused by it.

And yet, it was a difficult balancing act to do an "elvish" influenced garment and come up with something suitable for polite company and didn't imply you were cheap in any way.

Difficult, but not impossible. You even managed it in your favorite colour; crimson as the blood spilled upon the open sea.

You were fetched by carriage to Lord Unas' estate upon the cliff that overlooked the harbour of Umbra. You were given to understand that said estate had existed from when Sauron first rise to power before Númenor came for him.

Still, you remembered well the splendors and mansions of Valinor beneath the light of Telperion and Laurelin. And thus, you saw the mansion and estate of Lord Unas as that of a child who played at such and thus a delight but not an awe inspiring thing as might many might view.

"My lady, it is a delight to have your presence here," the noble lord of mortal men bowed politely as you stepped out of the carriage beneath the flickering light of lamps.

What Do?
[X] Introduce yourself [give real name or perhaps an 'elvish' name]
[X] Be introduced to the various guests of Lord Unas [as the mysterious lady who surely is no elf noble]
[X] Write In
