Six cloaked travellers with packs look across a broken bridge over a stream; one holds the almanac in a satchel and another a rope, among rain-dark mountains and a sunlit village.

PICTURE THE SCENE

At the inn in Bree, a courier sets an almanac on the table: it contains sowing calendars for villages beyond the pass. In this original adventure, you and five travellers must deliver it before prolonged rains cut off the valley. Tolkien’s characters do not take part in this invented mission: your decisions will be compared with nine members of the Fellowship of the Ring, each with a different reason for staying beside the others.

An original, unofficial fan adventure outside the novel’s continuity. The results are characters from the Fellowship of the Ring: the affinity interprets your choices without assigning you abilities, a destiny or moral worth. The reference is Tolkien’s The Lord of the Rings; the almanac scenes and suggested encounters are editorial inventions. The portraits may mention events from the entire novel. The fan illustrations use 2001 film designs for appearance, in invented gestures and places; they do not establish that the mission occurs in the film.
