You walk steadily upwards, along the winding path that leads through the centre of Edoras, accompanied by the laughter of the stream that runs in its channel beside the way. Soon you reach the crown of the hill and climb the last flight of stone steps, passing the guards who sit on the stone chairs on either side of the topmost step. Now you face the heavy oaken doors of Meduseld itself, but they are unbarred, and swing open before you on well-oiled hinges.
Inside, the great hall of the Kings of the Riddermark stretches before you. The air is warm after the chill of the hill top, and the interior is dark after the bright sun, but soon your eyes adjust, and you begin to see the details – the mighty carved and decorated pillars that hold up the vaulted arches of the roof, the dark timbers nearly invisible against the blackened interior of the golden thatch. On each side you catch sight of the rich tapestries that adorn the walls, some ancient, some newer, their colours fresh.
At last you come to the end of the hall, and the raised dais with its three steps. There stands the throne of the Ruler of Rohan, directly in the light that filters through the windows. Lothíriel and Eowyn occupy their places as you enter, and watch your progress through the body of the hall. This hall has seen much, both celebrations and ill news, tragedy and moments of great joy. Now it is a place of joy, where the Rulers and their people gather to handle matters of state. Whoever you see, the royal family and the servants of Rohan wait to see what manner of news you carry, and what story you will bring to further enrich the tapestry that is the history of the Golden Hall.

It’s time for the ladies to be in charge. Lothíriel and Éowyn are in the Throne Room and are available for audiences. They are also planning to host a lunch for the people of Edoras. Come and meet these two strong women, help make lunch if you desire, or simply come and observe the drama that can occur in the Golden Hall.
Please keep things IC and somewhat formal as you are in the presence of royalty.
This is a loose RPG
An occasion for all Rohirrim, and indeed those of other races, to mix with the Queen and the King’s sister and with their fellows in a more formal setting. But even if it's formal, don't hesitate to bring in a new plot or storyline. Let things happen, use your imagination to make this thread as interesting as possible!
Time to have some fun!
