Rain hits the walls and falls from the sky. It brings fertile soil but also thunder, it's loud cracks that like a whip shatters the black sky. Today on Middle Earth, March eighth, marks the day of two knights. These two knights with a grand story held but almost forgotten.

Chatter fills the tavern as well as music and yelling.

An aged and mysterious man drinking some ale sits by a table by some adventurers who came from Gondor ruled by king Aragorn son of Arathorn.

'You are all new here right?' Asks the old man.

'Yes,' an adventurer answers 'we traveled very far from Gondor to here. My name's Rae, I'm a striving wizard.' She then states.

'Ah a wizard!' The old man says exuberantly. 'A good thing to strive for young one.' He pauses as if to study her, then he starts back up again. 'What of the rest of you?'

One gets up from his chair. 'I'm Finnius, a Gondor knight guarding this party of adventurers on their many travels.'

Another then says, 'I Tar!'

Rae then points out, 'He's not the brightest of the bunch.'

'I'm Caleb, archer.' Says another.

'And I am Ilona.' The one at the end of the table says. 'May I ask what you are doing here at our table?'

'Excuse my manners, this ale is extra strong. I just wanted to see if I could entertain you with a Rohan tale, would you be interested?' The man questions the adventurers.

Before Ilona and Caleb could decline the man's invitation to his tale Tar and Rae blurt, 'Sure!' In unison.

"Alrighty." The old man then grabs his staff and presents an elaborate small illusion bringing the attention of nearby drinkers.
