Sitting down for her lunch, Rieka begins to write. Her gaze is distant, for she is lacking sleep and deep in thought.

Taverns are wonderful places to meet people. Last night alone, I was at a table conversing with many important people. Among them, Gandalf (as he is now known), Boromir, Miriel, Eowyn, and others. The conversation has left me deep in thought, and I lack sleep today because of it.

We were discussing why so many have come back to Middle Earth that were once removed from Arda. So many "heroes" of the ancient lore have appeared in this city. It is mind-boggling in a way, and my mind has been taken up with the idea ever since.

Some think that by bringing them all back to life, reparations are being made to the power lost when the One Ring was destroyed. Others think that they may be here to guide Middle Earth in a safe direction, and move towards peace after the reconstruction. But no one knows for sure. None of us who have come to this place recently seem to have a purpose as of now. Everyone is searching but all the answers are locked away and the secrets to their discovery have long been lost.

Boromir seems to be in a state of despair, and few are less lost than he. In truth, we are all wandering and wondering what is to happen to us. It seems even the great leaders and warriors who have come to Middle Earth in recent times need guidance. But who can a leader look for to help them?

I think I want to dicuss this with Olorin a bit more, and I will have to make time for that in the next week, but that can wait for now. Still, perhaps we should exercise what little power we gain from being Istari to help guide those who have come back to Middle Earth. I am sure that if they were to all work towards organizing, rebuilding, leading, and fighting against the darkness as they were born to, Middle Earth would recover much more quickly.
