Prolly too esoteric.

When Aragon was in the healing house in Gondor and Merry canâ€™t find his pipe weed (even though his pack is by his bed) and Aragon tells him to ask the healers for Westernweed (sp?) or Galenas the noble name. It is very cryptic.

hmm... i was thinking....

maybe a rank "of the forge of order"? although, the only numbers i can come up with is from 401 to 403, which is the approximate dates for Fall of Angels and The Chaos Balance (L.E. Modesitt, Jr.) which have Nylan in them. since he was said to be "of the forge of order."

trying to think of something with chaos, but dont have any ideas right now....

We should have something for 42. Lets see some of my suggestions would be:

the all encompassing
Universal poster

If you can think of anything esle that would be nice

IMO Scribe Adept/Scholar Adept just sounds...well...a bit cheesy

Master Scholar flows so much more smoothly, whereas Scholar Adept grates on my nerves...

Not that I have any useful suggestions...it's just been bothering me so I felt like letting go...

Behold, the power of cheese

This maybe a little too cryptic - 42 squared is 1764.
Other than what mrdude already suggested I thought Universal Reader or Universal Scholar.

Kilt, could you post an updated list of rankings.

Does anybody object if we change this to "Minister of Truth" - this would seem more... consistant. All the others seem to be 1st person titles while this is

Brad or Kilt (I'm learning),

There was no response to this proposal, was that because you did not like it.

Post by **KiltanneN** » Tue May 18, 2004 6:49 pm

2670 - Grower of the Weed
3141 - Elessar's Stone Carrier

Does anyone else like?

Post by **Darb** » Tue May 18, 2004 6:53 pm

The first one has overtones of being a pothead - personally, I'd probably switch to a temporary custom title in order to avoid that one, but that's just me.

The latter one is a bit esoteric.

However, you're the boss.

Aunflin · Post by **Aunflin** » Tue May 18, 2004 6:57 pm

Why not just call it "Strider" and be done with it.

And I agree with Brad on "Grower of the Weed"...

I know far too many potheads for that title to be something to strive for...

Strider - Excellent! - what dates can we associate with Strider?

And pothead - Yeah - hadn't thought too much of that association - I have always thought of South Farthings finest as Tobacco myself. I suspect that Potheads weed is possibly more accurate though, considering Saruman's comment about smoking to much of the Halflings weed addling the wits of Gandalf... [does my memory serve me correctly?]

How about "IBDoF Strider" instead of just "Strider" ?
