Some members work diligently with Vána in a cosy, merrily lit room on the realm project, while others slow down and discuss the mysteries of the heavens at the Astronomy and Space Science Q & A. At Athrabeth i-nGilliath stargazers discuss everyday…

Boromir of Gondor is the eldest son of Denethor II, the steward of Gondor, and Captain of the White Tower of Ecthelion. In this capacity he travels to Rivendell to seek the advice of Lord Elrond on a strange matter: a dream. Now, many people have strange dreams – this is no reason to travel…
