1 Water and Stone 1st June 2004 Complete

Their defences strengthened after the return of the Shadow to Dol Guldur, the Galadhrim meet Aragorn for the first time when he goes out into the Wild, newly aware of his true lineage and of his love for Arwen. The meeting brings friendship between Celinn, one of Haldir’s captains, and Aragorn, both at the beginning of their journey of leadership. Aragorn learns something about love and pleasure from the open-hearted elves, but his desire to prove himself worthy to be Isildur’s Heir leads him and the Galadhrim into danger. Celinn and the rest of his company are deeply changed by the experience. Can Galadriel and Haldir help to heal their own? What can Aragorn do to repair the damage he has done, and how will his future and Elrond's be changed in their turn?
