Quellion's just delivered to me a work in progress of his newest concept for TLA, the Noldorin Songweaver. As you can see it's pretty well developed but there is still much to do that he will have fixed and finished soon.

Posted Image

Just for some background on this unit:

The Noldorin Songweaver has the job of healing units, increasing the morale of units, and also has the unique ability to actually write "lays" (a type of epic poem such as the Lays of Beleriand) that memorialize a fallen leader. So for instance if your leader dies in battle, you can have a songweaver memorialize him for all eternity with a lay of that leader and you'll be able to retain some of that leader's greatness and goodwill towards your civ that will manifest themselves as civilization bonuses. :muaha:

What you see are the four fingers and the thumb is on the inside behind what you see.

Ah, finally I see it to. I think it's ears are rather strange for an elf. Don't know what, but there's something odd about it.

Loonis Logghe [ aka Mithrandil ]

'Shouldn't we send him a message and call in his help?' Erestor asked. 'It seems that he even has control of the Ring.'
'No, I shouldn't say it that way,' Gandalf said. 'Rather say the Ring hasn't got control of him. He's his own master. But he can't change the ring, nor break the power it has on others.'

No, my name isn't wrong, it's just a combination of Mithrandir and Mithril: look and see: MITHRandI(L/R)

"One can only discuss when he can find reason in the other's thoughts, and then still disagree. When one cannot, he argues" -Noilos

"One is intelligent when one wields the following things: critisism on everything, and keen logics in it's purest form" -Noilos

"Philosophy poses the question why, History answers it" -Noilos
