When Lord Algamesh turned the ruling scepter of Tolkien's Ring over to Lady Stormrider, she sat back and looked over her realm.
The Lady remembered the early days and how eager the Fellowship had been to query and discuss the captivating and intriguing world of Tolkien. The Fellowship had spent many hours communing late into the night on many of the perplexities and complexities of Tolkien's Middle-earth and Arda. Those were the lively days! Discussion on the forum had been so stimulating that the Fellowship had not even had time to consider sharing pints in the Prancing Pony!
Eventually Barliman Butterbur's business picked up and there were many long and exciting nights sharing conversation over many ales and good food! There had been trivia games, weekend marathons, live role-play, Oscar award nights (including the hilarious "Gollies"), the pony people pictures, and prize give-aways!
But after King Elessar took the throne, rebuilt Gondor and the surrounding lands, and wiped out the stench and smut of Mordor, the land settled into a quiet atmosphere. The Fellowship of Tolkien's Ring became settled and restful and people turned to the business of their lives in the now fair lands of Middle-earth.
Lady Stormrider looked over Tolkien's Ring in the land of MSN. So many excellent topics and discussions were there, but her family from the Fellowship were depending on her and her contingent of trusted counselors.
She conferred with her counselors and it was decided a fresh start was needed and a new look. The dark midnight blue and gold lettering was replaced with a brighter, elegant, golden leather look. An improved communication system was found and put into place!
The old land of MSN was now turned over to King Elessar to be held in the Library of Gondor as archives. Lady Stormrider was determined not to lose those precious communications and the King was gracious in hollowing out a nitch in his great library for them.
Lady Stormrider and her counselors urged Barliman to keep his doors open for the Fellowship. The hospitality and comfort of his fine establishment could not be found elsewhere. Barliman was more than happy to agree to the Lady's terms and he awaits the arrival of the friends who have frequented his establishment and hopes that they will bring new friends along with them on their next visit.
With everything set in place, Stormrider sent out the proclamation to the Fellowship opening the new land of Proboards to all. Stormrider was pleased, the Fellowship was curious and began streaming into the new realm and they were glad!
Lady Stormrider and her contingent greeted the arrival of each member of Fellowship with smiles and warm embraces. Her family had settled in the new land and life could begin again.
