it's the second chapter, the "adventurous" hasn't crept in yet

Hey I like it; You're waxing Tolkien and doing it very well at that. When I write fantasy, I do it like that too :P

Thanks for the crit, aed. And yes, I did the poem myself, even though I kinda pulled it out of my butt X_x

Wow, dude, you know you have a good story when your first chapter compells the crap out of people. Poor aedomir :[
