The following letters were sent out in-game before the start of the group. They include an explanation of the group's rules and philosophy. If you are interested in participating in the group, please read and understand the rules!

Part I of III: An Invitation
-------------
Greetings,

I hope this missive finds you well. I reach out because you or your kin have met me during my travels and expressed an interest in joining me on further adventure, should the need arise.

And so it has.

If your interest still remains, join us at The Green Dragon in Bywater of the Shire, in a fortnight.

~Jarngrimur

---
This is an invitation to the new Club Eclair group forming soon. Details to follow.

-------------
Part II of III: Rules
-------------
This is an invitation to join the new slow-leveling in-character RP group that Lilythorn spoke to you about recently. If you have already joined, great. The rules and times are laid out below.

* Our first gathering will be on Saturday May 30th, 2020 from 3 to 4 PM EST/Servertime, at The Green Dragon in Bywater in the Shire.

The group's rules are simple and straightforward:

1. Respect the Level Cap
2. Respect other Players

* 1. Respect the Level Cap (currently 6)

You will need to purchase a Stone of the Tortoise from the Lotro Store (100 LP) in order to halt your character experience.

We will advance the Level Cap as our adventures lead us to more difficult quests.

* 2. Respect the other Players

Be respectful re: language and RP skill. Some of our players are new to in-game RP. We will have a chat channel for IC and OOC chat, /say and /emote should be in-character as much as possible. /fellowship and /raid can be used for OOC chat.

-------------
Part III of III: Before We Start
-------------
Before we get started, you should have a character that is out of the Introduction and no higher than level 6.

Please have at least a basic Bio/Description. The premise is that your character is one of Jarngrimur's associates from his brief travels. We may or may not be friends, at your discretion. If you let me know what the hook is for your character, I will try and accomodate it. The premise is just enough to get us together. Our group's story afterwards will develop as we adventure.

Aside from the 2 rules listed above, any rules or restrictions you impose on your character are yours alone. For example, some might choose to only use gear that is awarded or bought with earned gold. Others may choose to not use Swift Travel. Up to you!

If you are still interested, please let me know what character name and race/class you will be joining us with.

Thank you!
Jarngrimur / Lilythorn / Orothiel / Burnheart
