Gwaith i-Nestoer has been quiet recently, leaving everyone with the question: “What are those Healers up to?” To rid the readers of their misery, I have come to report on the activities going on.

With the invention of the Tengwar, elves were able to keep their lore and rich history from the four ages past preserved. This mystery code replaces the characters of Quenya and Sindarin words with numbers for important names, places, battles, and things from the annals of Imladris’s history. So enjoy deciphering a different sort of puzzle this month!

Surprise! There's more water in the old sponge. These are the memoirs of Lord Slosh, formerly Lord Eyebrows: a complete history of Imladris from its pink and glompable beginnings. The Lay of Imladris has been an ongoing feature since the very first issue of the Last Homely Herald.

Part the Fourteenth
There new times came from mountains cold,
The fulfilled Elves wandered under leaves,
And where the grace of Rulers rolled
Either started wondering
She peered into the minds of Elves
And saw at last her time had come
Into her mind came now two trees
The name of Elrond no more following.
~Arlo Cúthalion

       Welcome, Welcome to another installment of "Dear Weny." I know I was on hiatus but you see I wanted a raise and so I protested and now…What!? Whaddaya mean I don't get a raise? I never got anything to begin with? Well yeah but…Oh harde har har a raise of nothing is nothing. You’re a regular comedian you are. I ain't doing it then, forget it. Sorry folks, no "Dear Weny" this we… What do you mean, "it's in my contract"? Fine! Fine! I'm calling my lawyer after this. On to the letters:
Dear Weny,
       I am in a terrible fix. My husband cam home and now insists he is someone else and that I should call him "Bumpkins" What do I do? It's really kind of creepy. The children are all frightened. Please help!
Morose in Moria
Dear Morose,
      Whatever you do don't ask him for a raise.
Weny
Dear Weny,
       I need major help! I can't decide what to do! I have two suitors vying for my hand in marriage and I don't know how to chose! Help!
Indecisive in Isengarde
Dear Indecisive,
       Don't ask either of them for a raise…*grumble*
Weny
Dear Weny,
       I don't know what to do. I work and work in the mines all day and my boss just doesn't appreciate me. He's always yelling at me and whipping me and I can't take it anymore. The benefits are good but the indifference is killing me. What do I do to make him appreciate me?
Unappreciated in Umbar
Dear Unappreciated,
       You're preaching to the choir here, sister! Whatever you do don't ask him for a raise!
Weny

Poor Lord Eyebrows, he just doesn’t get the same respect that Lord Pretty Boy does. Oh he’s powerful enough, but just not as pretty, and pretty always wins the day in Imladris, even in the bad section of town.
So the Lord of Imladris snuck back to the other side of the waterfall, taking the stage once again to lament this travesty...

SONG LYRICS SONG LYRICS SONG LYRICS
There is more to the song, of course, but by the next verse Lord Elrond was visibly in tears, and his voice was cracking so badly none could understand what he was babbling. It was then the audience started passing a hat to collect enough to send Lord Elrond to the Houses of Healing where he could perhaps buy a face as pretty as Pretty Boy’s...
