So many folks have been asking questions about the Elvish languages since the movies came out and we have an opportunity to learn a bit about this now! Elostrion has volunteered to teach a short course in “How to Construct a Sindarin Sentence”. The beginning lesson will cover syntax, which is how a simple sentence can be structured and the order of words. Elostrion says, “It is not complicated, but people seem to have a problem with it.” He wants to point out that this is for beginners. Perhaps as time goes by, if this proves popular, we can expand the lessons. Elostrion’s class will be held in #thehalloffire Wednesday, Feb 5, beginning at 7pm EST (6pm CST, Midnight GMT).
Here’s how to get there: either use this [java] link or follow these instructions for IRC clients: #thehalloffire on the irc.theonering.net server; come to theonering.net’s chat room Barliman’s and then type /join #thehalloffire. For further information, be sure to read the new Barliman’s FAQ.
I know, I know, it’s another one of those “Star Wars vs. LOTR” articles you get so sick of. But satirical site “The Onion” puts its own brand of humour on it…[More] Thanks to all who sent the link – you know who you are!

Many folks will know SkyKing, a regular here at Barli’s. What many folks may not know is that in real life he is a member of America’s armed forces. His real life job necessitates his lengthy absence from Barli’s for several months. He sent along a letter for everyone to read:
To my good friends, who have always been there when I asked them to be, and who always were there to share the laughs and joy, the tears and sorrows, you will always be in my heart and in my thoughts. Even as I walk through the fires of Hell that await, knowing the world will not celebrate my name because I do that which is of the utmost sensitivity, I know that you have faith in me. Even those from foreign lands, as well as those from home in the USA, your freedom and security is what I strive for and will achieve. May the heavens open up to receive and embrace you as your planes scream skyward, and may you never find yourself without a wingman (or woman). To everyone at Barliman’s, the stars forever shine upon our meeting.
