huinareTrying to get clearer on the geography of Eriador, particularly Arthedain, was not something I thought I'd be doing with a chunk of my morning.
And ships. I can't just say they were on a ship*, dammit, I have to figure out which kind of ship and how it worked. Today I learnt that there's no good reason to put them on a lateen rigged ship, pretty as that would be.
