Introducing Miss Elanor Bradybuck of Buckland

Le suilon fair people of this fellowship I am Elanor Brandybuck, Daughter of Frodo Brandybuck, Son of Meriadoc Brandybuck, the very same who was a member of the fellowship of the Ring.

My childhood was a happy and carefree one, consisting of summers spent in the fields and woods, and travling with my father, the master of buckland and Winters spent in Imladris learning to read and write, as well as speak Elvish. For my father grew up hearing the tales of my grandfathers travels and wished that his only daughter to be well versed in all things, so that if a need ever arose for me to make a great journey I would be ready for it. Now as I near my 20th birthday, I feel I am ready.

When I received my invitation from my friend Elenatintil to travel with this new fellowship to the woods of Lorien, I was eager to accept. Though it is not the grand journey my father wished for me, it is exactly to my liking. A trip with friends on the same path as people who have been what I want to be, honorable and happy.

As I write this my father is calling for me to come, for we are but a day's ride from Imladris.

Namárië,

Elanor Brandybuck, companion of the _________ Fellowship.

P.S. We need a name for are fellowship! What do you think it should be?

Welcome Esmerelda! Very pleased to meet you! I have heard much of your grandfather Merriadoc from my kinsman Legolas. Welcome!

I say that we call ourselves the Fellowship of the Red Book of Westmarch, the Fellowship of the Book for short. What say you all?

Forgive me, I got your name wrong Elanor. *blushes painfully* 'Tis no wonder my elders say I am too impatient, I read so fast I missed your name. Goheno nin! Forgive me!

Thank you for the kind welcome Rosriel, though I admit I was a little confused at first.... That is fine, we all make mistakes! Hmm....I almost think the fellowship needs an elvish name, let us wait for Fosco and Elena to weigh in, maybe we should make a poll after we get some more ideas?
