Nice work!
very nice series! 😀
thanks for the encouraging comments 🙂 still a bit worried it’s a bit dry… but can’t currently think of anything else to do… 😉
I don’t think you need to worry about water being dry!
Nice info, sometimes I’m always looking for this kind stuff if I decide to go all fancy with names for me legendary items. 🙂
lol yes water… dry… 😛 should have thought that one through 😉
I love this awesome series! You should keep this up as it is awesome!
I have to agree with Andang on this series being awesome!
Many places in Middle-earth were inspired by real places in our world. Rivendell, and the River Bruinen, were inspired by Lauterbrunnen (which may mean Loudwater), in Switzerland. A real live Rivendell. 🙂
