Editing Minas Aarda Notes (section)

== 3rd Age Rooms ==

On the roof is a depiction of Ragnarak being averted – Thor strikes a huge blow to the Dragon, Freya (X) is shooting Fenris (X) as he leaps across the bridge and Odin (X) is holding Loki (X) by the throat.

An inscription runs around the roof:

From the Misery of Amras Aarda came

The wolf of fiery eyes and darkened mane.

To the ruins of Minas Aarda he turned

and met with the Demon Prince he learned,

Of the return to the Prime of that which smashed

The White Star and with it our hopes dashed.

Granted a gift of dwarven gold and eleven stone,

Promised in exchange dominion over all, alone.

With that Ring Aarda was rebuilt for Ill,

Demon Prince and Dark Wolf would kill

All that kept them from Lastar’s Hoard

And together over all folk would lord,

In name and act of evil vast

The Darkest time of Aarda passed.

 
Around the walls of the room is a sequence of scenes.

'''The Gem'''

Firstly, a Sohei, X, attends to a small shrine in a forest glade, near the X river, bending he picks up a gem. Next, is a scene of the same man X, much older, on his death bed handing the Gem to a young acolyte X (oriental man).  There follows a scene where X(oriental man) meets a dwarf Garag <big>'''ﻕ'''</big>, symbolised by the House of Zem <big> ڠ </big>who is shown assembling dwarves with X (same oriental man).  

Then a huge Battle scene depicts the end of X in X.  Each of the Sword Bearers are there: 
Agan (the deliverer) – Given to Taranack (Sea Elf).  <big>'''Ť'''</big>

Fastlor (flame) – kept by X symbol of the Rampant Horse, and <big>'''İ'''</big>  He wears the 2-pointed Crown of Kings.
As is Garag, <big>'''ﻕ'''</big>from<big> ڠ</big>, who is shown retrieving the Ring of Air, and  X (oriental) lifts a 2nd Gem from a chest.

The next shows X (older oriental man) peppered with arrows on a castle wall handing the gems to a young oriental woman X dressed as a warrior.  

Next is a mountain scene where the oriental woman, X, is older, and surrounded by evil creatures at the centre of which is Dordraug.
