Rumour concerning the Aina Amarth
by Turamarth
The gossiper grabs hold of you after looking
around suspiciously for a while and starts
whispering in your ear. 'Have you heard the
latest rumour from the East?' He looks around
once again. 'I ran into a weathered traveller,
one of those strange elven folks, the other day and
he was in a mighty hurry and it looked to me like he
was in quite a fright. He spoke to me hastily
and he told me of som strange religious fellows,
all men, and fanatic members of some cult, who
he said had come from the far East to build a
temple o'er here in north-western Middle-earth
and prepare the coming of... of,' the gossiper
pauses for a moment, '"the Amarthatar", the Holy
Father, I reckon it meant. And the elf said they
are trying to "convince other men to submit to
him". I didn't understand all what that ol' elf
said, but it sure sounded mighty worrying! Anyway,
the whole reason that he had such a fright, he
told me, is 'cause "these men are taunting and
prejudiced, mistrusters of elves and dwarves."'
Before he rushed off again he mentioned the name
of the cult,' the gossiper thinks real hard, 'the
"Aina Amarth", and he told me to "be wary of it."'
The gossiper looks worriedly at the ground and
sighs. 'Oh my, oh my! I hope they won't stir up
any more trouble than we already got!'
