#Cloudyhead

[ebaeschnbliah]

They had been a fortnight on the way when the weather changed. The wind suddenly fell and then veered round to the south. The swift-flowing clouds lifted and melted away, and the sun came out, pale and bright. There came a cold clear dawn at the end of a long stumbling night-march. The travellers reached a low ridge crowned with ancient holly-trees whose grey-green trunks seemed to have been built out of the very stone of the hills. Their dark leaves shone and their berries glowed red in the light of the rising sun.

Away in the south Frodo could see the dim shapes of lofty mountains ...

 ... that seemed now to stand across the path that the Company was taking. At the left of this high range rose three peaks; the tallest and nearest stood up like a tooth tipped with snow; its great, bare, northern precipice was still largely in the shadow, but where the sunlight slanted upon it, it glowed red.

Gandalf stood at Frodo's side and looked out under his hand. `We have done well,' he said. `We have reached the borders of the country that Men call Hollin; many Elves lived here in happier days, when Eregion was its name. Five-and-forty leagues as the crow flies we have come, though many long miles further our feet have walked. The land and the weather will be milder now, but perhaps all the more dangerous.'

`Dangerous or not, a real sunrise is mighty welcome,' said Frodo, throwing back his hood and letting the morning light fall on his face.

'But the mountains are ahead of us,' said Pippin. `We must have turned eastwards in the night.'

'No,' said Gandalf. 'But you see further ahead in the clear light. Beyond those peaks the range bends round south-west. There are many maps in Elrond's house, but I suppose you never thought to look at them?'

`Yes I did, sometimes,' said Pippin, `but I don't remember them. Frodo has a better head for that sort of thing.'

`I need no map,' said Gimli, who had come up with Legolas, and was gazing out before him with a strange light in his deep eyes. `There is the land where our fathers worked of old, and we have wrought the image of those mountains into many works of metal and of stone, and into many songs and tales. They stand tall in our dreams: Baraz, Zirak, Shathûr.

`Only once before have I seen them from afar in waking life, but I know them and their names, for under them lies Khazad-dûm, the Dwarrowdelf, that is now called the Black Pit, Moria in the Elvish tongue. Yonder stands Barazinbar, the Redhorn, cruel Caradhras; and beyond him are Silvertine and Cloudyhead: Celebdil the White, and Fanuidhol the Grey, that we call Zirak-zigil and Bundushathûr.

`There the Misty Mountains divide, and between their arms lies the deep-shadowed valley which we cannot forget: Azanulbizar, the Dimrill Dale, which the Elves call Nanduhirion.'

`It is for the Dimrill Dale that we are making,' said Gandalf. `If we climb the pass that is called the Redhorn Gate, under the far side of Caradhras, we shall come down by the Dimrill Stair into the deep vale of the Dwarves. There lies the Mirrormere, and there the River Silverlode rises in its icy springs.'

`Dark is the water of Kheled-zâram,' said Gimli, `and cold are the springs of Kibil-nâla. My heart trembles at the thought that I may see them soon.'

`May you have joy of the sight, my good dwarf l' said Gandalf. 'But whatever you may do, we at least cannot stay in that valley. We must go down the Silverlode into the secret woods, and so to the Great River, and then ...'

He paused.

'Yes, and where then?' asked Merry.

'To the end of the journey ... in the end,' said Gandalf. 'We cannot look too far ahead. Let us be glad that the first stage is safely over.

'I need no map,' said Gimli, who had come up with Legolas

They're already—

and was gazing out before him with a strange light in his deep eyes.

He does have beautiful eyes doesn't he Jolkien

'There is the land where our fathers worked of old, and we have wrought the image of those mountains into many works of metal and of stone, and into many songs and tales. They stand tall in our dreams: Baraz, Zirak, Shathûr.

So is this a metaphor? Does he mean that he knows them from stories, or from literally his dreams? I think—either way it doesn't matter. This is Tolkien and there's always this lovely mysticism attached to songs and tales—I think the metaphor is also true.

Also I love Gimli a lot oh my god

Only once before have I seen them from afar in waking life, but I know them and their names, for under them lies Khazad-dûm, the Dwarrowdelf, that is now called the Black Pit, Moria in the Elvish tongue. Yonder stands Barazinbar, the Redhorn, cruel Caradhras; and beyond him are Silvertine and Cloudyhead: Celebdil the White, and Fanuidhol the Grey, that we call Zirakzigil and Bundushathûr .

all of these names are such bangers like. Ok Dungeons and Dragons tries to go for a tolkein-esque vibe with its names, but dnd names are always just. ridiculous nonsense because the dnd people're just not? as good? These names all sound real. They sound like real places in another langauge. And also they sound cool as fuck. And also Gimli I love you.

About/Rules/Verses

Hello, and welcome to my Bofur RP blog. This post is a HUGE wall of text, if you are on desktop and would like to see it a little tidier, please see the separate pages in the sidebar to the right. 

Promo Post Found Here

About the Mun

1. Firstly I am over 30, own a house, have a husband, 1 baby, 2 cats, and a wealth of commitments and responsibilities. I will do my best to reply in a timely manner, but will state up front that sometimes life gets in the way.

2. I am in EST and work M-F from 9-5, plus a half hour commute. Please understand that I can not post from work, and will not be posting during those times.

3. In addition, I am Mom to a very active toddler who is my priority over writing and who’s nap schedule tends to dictate when I can post.

4. My native language is English, though I can understand French, and a little bit of Spanish and Japanese. Don’t bank on me carrying on a decent conversation in any of those languages though.

About the Blog

1. When I first set up this blog I didn’t realize that secondary blogs can’t follow back, ask, or submit. My main blog name is Saffity, so if you see that blog follow you, it’s me. If I send an ask or submit, I will mention this blog name so you don’t get confused.

2. My inbox, ask, etc. is open. Please feel free to write me any starters, questions, or whatever.

3. Please send any critiques or suggestions to me. I’ve been on Tumblr forever, but have never really been a poster. If you see me doing basic noob mistakes with my posts that can be easily fixed, please let me know.

4. I will be tracking #yourehomesickiunderstand so please use that tag with our threads.

Mun’s Playing Style

1. I prefer my Bofur straight. I understand Boffins and other ships and have no qualms with them, I’ve been known to enjoy a good fluff fic once in a while, but this Bofur is straight.

2. Please send me an ask or fan mail if you would like our characters to have an already established relationship, I’m totally cool with it. I respond to all cannon characters as known as it shows in the books or movies, but if you are an OC and want something other than a “Nice to meet you” please let me know first.

3. I’m willing to do some fluffies, but not full on smut, if the thread calls for smut (which will often happen), I’ll fade to black when I’ve gone as far as I feel comfortable with. (Don’t worry, I’ll fade when I’m ready, you’ll never get any angry messages from me about going too far.)

4. Bofur here is multiverse, au, indie, whatever you want to call it. I’m sure he’ll fit into whatever crossover or world you decide to drop him in, he’s very easy going after all.

5. I tend to write in the past tense, third person. If you’d prefer a different style, just let me know and I’ll try to accommodate.

6. I’m bad with my images, so bad! I’m still figuring everything out, so if I’ve royally screwed something up, please let me know and I will delete and repost correctly.

7. I am super okay with editing anything I write if it doesn’t jive with your character or where you want the plot to go, please just let me know.

8. I mainly play on mobile, as such, I’m not able to cut my posts down. Please do so whenever you feel the need/want, I won’t be upset.

Head Cannons that go across all verses

1. Bofur has a Northern Irish accent and his hat, always his hat.

2. Bofur has named his hat Bundushathur, which in Khuzdul means “Cloudyhead” and will sometimes refer to his hat as a sleeping rabbit. If Khuzdul does not exist in the verse (like Modern) then the hat is called Cloudyhead and still referred to as a rabbit.

3. Bofur is the everyman, he isn’t special or high born. He is good natured, friendly, and the world’s best wingman, even if it means connecting someone he pines after with someone else. He would rather see them happy and keep their friendship than try to force his feelings on them or lose their friendship because of his pride.

4. The main characteristic about Bofur is that he is unimportant in the hierarchy of society.

Main Verse - The Hobbit/LOTR

Bofur is 4'6" but fairly thin for a dwarf.

Bofur is a dwarf who’s family line comes from Moria. He is of the mining class. He was born and raised in Ered Luin with his brother. Shortly after Bofur became an adult, his parents died, leaving him to raise his brother. Shortly after that, Bifur was injured in an orc attack. Bofur and Bombur took Bifur in, however there were a number of difficult years as they all got used to Bifur’s new personality.

Once Bifur was stable enough, the brothers decided it would be a good idea to head out and find new customers for their skills. They ended up at Bree, opening up a shop to sell Bifur’s fabulous toys, and offer tinkering services.

During their stay in Bree, Bombur got married to a passing female dwarf and moved his overly large family near the shop. Bifur and Bofur live together in living quarters at the back of the shop, Bombur lived with them until he got married.

Bofur travels around Middle Earth, usually west of the Misty Mountains, and most often between Bree and Ered Luin by way of the Shire. He collects supplies, sells wares, and visits many friends and family that are about the lands.

When Thorin calls for assistance in taking back Erebor, Bofur and his kin lock up their shop and head for the Shire.

After the quest they settle in Erebor, though Bofur heads back to Bree to close up their shop and settle accounts prior to settling in for a long life of enjoying his 14th share of the treasure.

Head Cannons that can totally change if my partner is a Bifur or Bombur

1. Bofur’s father was killed in Moria at the battle of Azanulbizar, his Mother died in an Orc attack when Bofur was in his 40s. He has taken care of his brother ever since.

2. Bofur took Bifur in after Bifur was orphaned as well, the three are like brothers, having shared the experience of loss and growing up together.

3. Bombur stopped speaking after their mother died. Bofur’s tried to get him to speak, and has managed to get him to speak sometimes, but usually just small replies and often with much prodding. Bifur and Bombur use the same sign language to speak to each other and those who don’t speak Khuzdul. Bofur takes care of both of them and is the one who speaks to customers.

Modern Verse

High School

Bofur is not popular, though he’s friendly and basically knows everyone. He enjoys shop class, classical music, and historical literature.

Studious and hard working, Bofur can often be found with his nose in a book, when not sitting on the bleachers playing the tin flute he always has on him.

College Student

Bofur is a TA in college. His major is historical literature, and his goal is to eventually become a professor. His passion is delving into historical fanatasy from cultures other than England and Western Europe.

He enjoys learning languages in order to read what he is researching in its original state.

General Modern Adult

In most modern adult verses Bofur is a general labourer, most often a janitor. If he is a teacher, he teaches music and drama.

Ice Cream Shop

Bofur runs a small home made ice cream shop that is part of a coffee shop run with a companion or family member (his partner can be any member of the company). He makes a variety of flavours, and offers lactose and gluten free varieties.

He prides himself on being able to guess his customers’ favourites on sight (like the movie Chocolat).

Marvel

Bofur is a janitor within shield. He can be found on the helicarrier, within the Avengers training base, or basically anywhere the heroes may be destroying things that need to be cleaned up.

While he is quiet and without powers, he has wisdom and a patient ear to lend to those supers who require a moment to vent.

Star Trek

This is the only verse where Bofur stands out. Bofur is a red shirt, but by some miraculous turn of events, he has gone on a number of away missions and made it back alive. Poor Bofur would love to get off the enterprise with his life, and shirt, in tact, but it appears some of the higher officers like to see him lose his mind and suggest him for more away missions, even if only in jest.

Head cannons that exist in all modern verses

1. Bofur and his family are from Northern Ireland, though Bofur travels around, goes to school abroad, and in general can pop up anywhere in the world.

2. Bofur is short for a male - 5'6", with a stocky build, and fairly strong.

3. Bofur’s younger brother Bombur is still at home (or married with kids depending on their age).

4. Bofur’s parents took Bifur in after he got injured during Armed Forces training, as Bofur’s family lives closer to the rehab resources that Bifur requires.

Today in Tolkien - January 8th

On the morning of January 8th, the Fellowship of the Ring reach Hollin (Eregion). They plan to rest for the whole day, have a good cooked meal, get a good night’s sleep, and rest the next day as well, setting out the next evening. However, this plan is disrupted when Aragorn sees flocks of black crows flying over the land as if searching it out, and concludes they are spying they choose to put out the fire and keep walking that night, much to Pippin’s disgust.

This day includes one of Tolkien’s biggest Linguist Moments in the narrative, via Gimli’s speech:

Yonder stands Barazinbar, the Redhorn, cruel Caradhras; and beyond him are Silvertine and Cloudyhead: Celebdil the White and Fanuidhol the Grey, that we call Zirak-zigil and Bundushathûr.

On rereading this, I noticed for the first time why Caradhras is called the Redhorn:

At the left of the high tange rose three peaks; the tallest and narrowest stood up like a tooth tipped with snow; its great, bare, northern precipice was still largely in the shadown, but where the sunlight slanted upon it, it glowed red.

I’m also intrugued by Legolas’ statement of being able to hear the stones lament the lost Noldor: deep they delved us, fair they wrought us, high they builded us, but they are gone. Some parts of nature, like trees, might prefer to be left alone and obviously not wish to be cut down, as we see with Fangorn later, but the stones want to be quarried and shaped and used and altered, and even have a sense of the beauty of the creations that are made with them. Could elves talk to a building, in some fashion? To a statue? Legolas doesn’t mention the stones of Moria communicating with him, so maybe it’s specific to elf-shaped stone. Certainly Elves have a considerable effect on, and bond with, the land; Hollin is a healthier and more pleasant area than the rest of the surrounding territory merely because Elves lived there several thousand years ago.

[msbarrows]

Well that was a very entertaining evening... my Stout-axe dwarf, Knarlie, was finishing up Lothlorien rep today, and when running around to do the quests from Haldir’s flet that included the orc-waylayers, weapons, and burning barricades, noticed some dwarf ruins and an orc bridge just across from the entrance to the third orc camp that I don’t recall being there before (though my memory could be faulty).

The map fragment at top shows where Knarlie ended up after crossing the first bridge; there were stairs there leading further upwards, so of course I followed them. After some broken stone dwarf-bridges and wooden orc-bridges I ended up following a long upward slot to the NW, up to the foot of Cloudyhead, where I found the ruins of Atrad-Zarakh; no entrance, just an attractive jumble of dwarf-carved stone. Great view from there of Redhorn (right) and Silvertine (left) though.

When looking down across the Mirrormere to the eastern Gates of Moria, I spotted a second ruin on the hilltops to the SE from the gates. After retracing my way back down the mountain, it wasn’t too hard to reach the second ruins - simpler than solving riddles. The ruins of Zirakazhar were not as attractive or as well-laid out as the first ruins, and were also crawling with orcs and goblins, so I forgot to take any screenshots right there (oops). Then I got further distracted by the fact that I could climb some zig-zagging slopes behind the ruins, and get waaaaaaaaay up on the slopes of Silvertine.

This is the view from way way up - if you look again at the screenshot taken looking towards Moria from the first ruins, those rocky ledges down below me are the mass of rocks up and to the right from the gate area:

While poking around on my way back down from there, I noticed that there was a third set of ruins off in the distance beyond the second ruins.

I climbed all the way back down to the rocks above the gate, just because I could, and took a couple more screenshots there before heading off to the third ruins. The route took me past the 2nd orc camp camp, then further into the hills to a broken bridge and a ford across the Nimrodel. The third ruins didn’t pop a name marker, so I assume the area is still in early stages of development. And I’m guessing all these new ruins are part of a future expansion, since they’re pretty developed for random scenery.

#LotRO #Knarlie Gnarlbeard #StoutAxe Dwarf #Hunter #Valley of the Nimrodel #Nandhurion #Mirrormere #Gates of Moria #Ruins #Super-fun exploration #Mostly deer and mallorn hawks around #Orcs and goblins infesting the ruins #Knarlie broke his leg from falling damage multiple times #But miraculously did not manage to fall to his death #Even when he slipped from that highest spot down to the rock ledges #Some great views from all those heights
