Flurry of Outrage

The controversial wedding of Gwenbur and Telfaras took place this last week.

Their nuptuals, viewed by many as defying the will of the Creator as well as their respective peoples, were attended by a few supporters of the move and a lot of people who sought free cake.
None of our reporters were willing to take part as guests in the proceedings, but we have reports that everything went smoothly and well for the highly unusual couple.

We here at the Herald wish to extend our congratulations to Gwenbur for her overcoming of the racial prejudice and deeply held suspicions and superstitions held by her folk, the Rohirrim, as well as her ability to finally follow through on a wedding after her rumoured third betrothal to as many males in as many months. Well done you!

We also wish to extend our sincere condolences to Telfaras for the simple fact that he will soon watch his wife wither away and crumble to dust before his very eyes, along with whatever offspring the happy couple produce. We don't envy you!

Contrary to popular belief, there has been no rioting in the streets over this, although it is still believed that the world may yet come to ruin through being shaken apart as the Creator turns angrily in his resting place. Be on the watch for earthquakes, plagues of giant toads, winged orcs and rising seas, people of Arda!
The apocalypse may have already begun: we have had reports that the ever-cheerful Cymaru of the Prancing Pony has recently been sighted sporting a frown!
