Elrond’s Adventure

Newsflash!

Have you heard? Elrond of Rivendell, famed elven lord, was recently spotted in San Francisco, checking out the Golden Gate Bridge. Previous to that, he was reported to have been seen hanging around such places as Illinois and Southern California.

Has this famous elf become bored with life in the Undying Lands and decided to take up world travel?

Not exactly. This is all part of Elrond’s Adventure! If you haven’t heard of it, Elrond’s Adventure is a new activity added fairly recently to The Council of Elrond. Elrond’s Adventure allows CoE members to keep Elrond (an action figure donated to the project by Rivka) for a week or so in their hometowns before sending him off to another CoE member. During the time each member has Elrond, they can show him around where they live, taking pictures along the way to document their activity.

So far, Elrond has toured around Southern California with Rivka, spent a few days at college with TheLadyArwen in Illinois, and checked out the sites in San Francisco with NenyaGold.

Wondering how this all works? Never fear, we’re here to explain…First, if you’re interested in checking out the Elrond’s Adventure project, and possibly participating, you’ll have to run and check out the Many Meetings Forum, where the activity is based. Here, you can read about Elrond’s Adventure, and some of the details involved. If your interest is piqued, and you’re interested in joining the project, head on over to the Sign-up thread. However, there are a few requirements you should know before signing up. First, you must live in North America, as Elrond isn’t ready to travel overseas quite yet. Additionally, you must be over 18 to participate, or have parental permission. There’s a small cost involved with the project due to shipping Elrond, and the development of any pictures you take if they aren’t digital. Fit all the requirements? Then by golly, sign up!

Once a user has sent Elrond on to the next CoE member, a report with pictures is written up and posted in the Reports thread. This way, we can all share in Elrond’s Adventure! However, even if you don’t want to participate in the project, reading the reports of Elrond’s Adventure is extremely entertaining!

So, there you have a little overview of one of the newest and most unique happenings on CoE. I know I speak for many members when I say that I’m looking forward to Elrond’s next Adventure report, from ‘the city that never sleeps’ – New York!
