Ol\u00f4rin’s<\/strong> leaving<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By D. McGlinchey\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ol\u00f3rin he is and his name shall remain.
In the West.
\u00a0In the North.
In the South.
Even to Eastward shall his name be enshrinedA Pilgrim
A Wizard
A Friend.

Great was the power he held in his hand
Wise in his word
In his action
And deed
The Flame of Ud\u00fbn and The Light of Anor\u00a0
A Shadow
A FlameRenewed

Farewell then Ol\u00f3rin as you board the white ship.
Gulls call
Water stills
Friends sigh
Ol\u00f3rin he is and his name shall remain.
In the West.\u00a0
In the North.
In the South.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Treasures of the Road<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

by: Tom Frye<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jewels by the roadside.
Gems in the stream.
They glimmer
and they glisten.
They beckon
and they scream,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCome off your road,
O Traveler,
for in us you will find.
Treasure for your pockets
and peace to rule your mind.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But once you\u2019ve
left the roadside,
to find them
and lost your way.
The jewels will
turn to stone,
the gems will turn to clay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
