Summoned to Council by Lindariel

The Plains of Mithrim

Beyond the Ered Wethrin stretched shadowless plains. As they turned to follow another river northward, Alatáriel took great interest in the stands of mixed alder and pine trees and the myriad flowering bushes dotting the sloping prairie land.

One grassy meadow where they stopped to eat was scattered with little flowers, each a corona of white ray petals around a yellow center. "We call that flower eirien," Thoneth volunteered. Alatáriel was delighted to see countless black and white short-tailed sheep busily biting the heads off those flowers. While she sketched the sheep, Teleporno twined her a crown of the flowers.
