Perhaps we should rename him Ericus the Bombadil. <G>

For all but the most thick-headed, the raised eyebrow is usually enough. 
Which is probably why Ld. Nik is so familiar with the "stern talking to." 
Yes, I am alive. I have also relocated my 'manse' to the very edge of our 
fair Barony and Kingdom, within a stone's throw of the river. I got it from 
an old druid that the trees could be our allies. I have spent these past few 
years in a study of this science, in the hopes that the trees might actually 
provide us a barrier against future incursions, actively come to our aid or, 
at least - if I could learn their speech, or teach them ours - we might get 
advance warning of movements under their canopy. As you can imagine, trees 
do not live on the same time table as we brief humans do, so this is a 
process requiring great patience on my part (another useful thing for me to 
learn!), and I cannot guarantee that there will be results in my lifetime. 
But I do not hoard my old armor or weapons. I have
 bestowed them where I thought they would be of use - but they can be 
recalled to me if I need them more than the present holders, and my armor 
still fits, and my hand has not forgotten everything it once knew... which 
was never as much as the stories seem to be pretending - but stories are 
almost always better than the actual events ever were so, enjoy, but do not 
believe! ;{>
Excellency, I do not think Your young Captain requires my service... I knew 
this lad once; he has a passably long head and knows it. He learns what he 
will, where he will, in his own way. If he has survived to this point, I 
expect he has learned enough to be of good use to You, and I am certain that 
he has the scars to prove that every lesson was learned the hard way. 
However, as it is my pleasure to serve, and my duty to advise, I would never 
hold anything back when I thought that it could be of benefit.
It is hard to pull myself away from the trees when I feel so close to 
understanding, but I will try to make the journey into the heart of the 
Barony, and attend You at a fighter practice soon; I understand that we have 
many new people who are anxious to learn and help defend our dear lands, and 
this speaks very highly of the leadership, example, and true nobility of You 
both.
Until next I have the pleasure of Your company, I remain
in service
to the Kingdom, its People
and their Crown

Ericus the Silverhand, WSA

Talking to the trees and petting them lovingly?....more like raising one 
eyebrow and giving them a stern talking to.

I will attest, young Captain, that the Silverhand doth exist. I spent time 
with him last Friday as we celebrated the birthday of a family member. True 
it has been so long since he has appeared that his fame has faded into the 
mists and he is only spoken of in hushed whispers around the camp fire. The 
Bards still speak of a Spanish knife fight in which he altered time and 
space itself. Perhaps he has chosen the hermit's life because he has become 
frail and fragile in his dotage, but as one of the blessed few that still 
catches glimpses as he flits in and out amonst the trees ( talking to them 
and petting them lovingly). I assure you that he does still exist. AmberLea
