Ok, new chapter. :)

I wanted to expand a bit on the politics of the north kingdom, and how it effects the village.

The plot is that one of the cantons (principalities) that make up the kingdom of Cardolan is about to fall apart in an issue over who takes over when the lord dies. His heir was killed in battle, obviously he was targeted by angmar to set up this turmoil. The turmoil will have an effect on the political unity of Cardolan, and hence on the defence against angmars assult on the realm next year!

I don't want this to be about the inheritance, more about how it effects the village. The burial will be on the barrow downs, the funeral party will stay in Bree (not decided where yet), so they are there in the backgrounsd, but the real issue is going to be the rather shifty northman who is there to cause trouble.

Another issue, to be explored, is given away by the title of the chapter. What did happen to the Angmarian raiding party who killed Dearos, and where are they now?

:D
