You may remember Beldrieth of Arkenstone from her excellent story “Mainly Concerning a Hobbit” which she was so nice to let us post here on CSTM.

Beldrieth was so encouraged by the great comments she received that she has decided to start her own blog! You can find more of her writing now at http://thehobbitsinthestories.wordpress.com/. This is the kind of news that just makes my day!

Each week we ask you to share your successes in Middle Earth with the rest of the community. Post a comment letting us know what you’ve accomplished this past week. We will pick comments at random to read on the podcast giving you a chance for a little shout out for yourself! Our shout-outs are only as good as the information we get so remember:

  • Don’t forget to add your character name, what server you play on and, if you like, add your Kinship if you have one.
  • Please keep your posts brief. We won’t be able to read full novels of your adventures. At least make it so we can easily sum it up!
  • Do not be afraid to post any of your achievements. We don’t care if you just saved Archet or cleared out the Tower of Orthanc. We want to hear from you!

Here is the second chapter to DemureDiva’s “Resurrection Child”. If you missed chapter 1, you can go read it here!


“What’ll we call her?” Anborn asks, sitting up, then is immediately distracted again; the girl launches herself at him, squealing with delight. The boy giggles & falls back to the floor, catching her & lifting her above him to make her laugh.

Ingold raises a sarcastic brow. “‘Bloody Nuisance’?” he suggest drily. He glances at Damrod, whose bleeding triceps is being tended by Remmirath.

Welcome to 2012 everyone!

Here’s wishing for an amazing year of gaming, fun and pie! Heck we live in the future now, maybe I can fly to the store on my jet pack and buy pie pellets that I drop water on for inta-pies. Mmmmm.

I hope you all had a fun and safe New Years celebration. We are exited to see what LOTRO brings for the new year!
