A Sort of Homecoming
It is the year 220 of the Fourth Age. It is a century gone since the death of King Elessar (perhaps better known as Aragorn) and well into the rule of his son, King Eldarion. Eldarion calls up the levy each year, with regions taking turns, and this last six months was yours. Gondor still wages war against various factions to the east and the south, and you have been serving in the garrisons and on the front lines. Now, however, your duty has been served and the long, slow wagon ride home is nearly through. As you approach your village, Milome-I-Tarma, you expect a celebration. A dinner, at least. Old Lady Winfirth’s cherry pie and Milome’s famous sour red ale. Milome has changed since you left. It’s much quieter. Can you solve the mystery of what happened in Milome and survive?
