I've little *personal* beef with Fernando - the few times we've spoken he seems pretty decent, even returning something to me that was useless to him after one of his routine thefts. Nevertheless, sitting on my hands while he lines his pockets with the gold of the unwary Free is unacceptable. Hart's and Dorf's points of view.
After all the complaining and talking over petitions, the forums, and the comm,
it seems that sometimes the best way to handle a problem is to just do something
about it.

Dorf Grimhammer the dwarf Cave-Dweller
Caenedrin Caltorath the dunedain Warlord (Angelic)
Unremarkably, this Dwarf wears an assortment of rings and other jewelry, but
they are all of markedly exquisite craftsmanship. His lush beard ends in
several thick silver-capped braids, which cover his torso, and a thick
sorcerer's cloak helps shield the rest of his muscular body against the
elements and prying eyes. A multitude of tiny scars fleck and crisscross
the arcane dwarven tribal tattoos etched into the exposed skin of his
dextrous hands; evidence of much time spent in the forge and workroom. The
cloak's deep cowl does little to hide the fact that this Dwarf has a deep
scar crossing his right eye, which is obscured by a grey mist.
As he catches you gawking, a glimmer of amusement passes through his one
good eye.
His skin has been transformed into bark.

This was once the road to Osgiliath. Now it has been reduced to a
