Hello and well met!!!!

[Caladrial]

After venturing many lands, from the kingdoms of Norrath to shores of Darnassus, I venture now to the lands of middle earth. Though in each of these places I found fellowship for a time (and within each of these fellowships being a part in being amoung the best of the servers), I have decided to embark on a new quest.

For wealth, you ask? No, for such trinkets come and go as the seasons turn.

For love, the poet asks? No, for such adventures are best explored where flesh can meet flesh.

For fame and power then? No, for fame passes with the quickness of a breath, and power is always temporary.

So why, then, do I seek to explore the possibilites of a fellowship within TOG? In my experiences, allies count yet so few people are worthy being called a true friend. Some are so wrapped up in their own desires that they fail to see the needs of others (and never help thier fellow man). Others see comrads as people to use and throw away. And still others are too young or too inexperienced to realize what really matters.

Fellowships are born via the exchange of knowledge and compassion, forged in shared effort and shared rewards, and grows only stronger by the mutual respect and growing trust such efforts bring. It is this feeling of fellowship that I seek. Is it to be found within TOG? Time will tell.

I am of 42 seasons (almost 43, who hid my bloody walker????). I live and work just west of the hot air Capital of the World, where President "can we nuke them please" Bush lives - Reston Virginia actually. I am a corporate accountant. I have scanned both the FAQ and the AUP, and have no objections to either. I am interested in LOTRO, but I am open with respect to the class I play. My current main is Caladrial (hunter), though I also have a minstral (Amedel) and loremaster who's name escapes me. My normal playing time is evenings and weekends, but I must stress that real life should and must come first. I am a single male and have no children (not that I am opposed to either marrage or rugra....errr kids, but I have yet to meet my match).

If there is anything else that you wish to know about me, please feel free to drop me a note or catch me online.

Have a blessed day!!!
