Here is the adress of the full French version, as Akya wished that I would give this website for those who wanted to read the French version already (but I recommend that any discussion about it may not began before all chapters would be translated)
-
Black Op wanted me to post that new thread. He thought it would be good if everyone could read what I think when I'm lonely by my side. Today's Wisdom will be on Eru Ilúvatar, The One Father of All
-
Eru was utterly right : the Children of Ilúvatar sang together once more to make a greater and better Arda!
WHO IS ERU?
Well, lets see Eru's deeds. He teached the Ainur to sing. Hi showed to the Ainur Arda, by the means of the Ainulindale. He spoke Ea! so that the world will be. He created Quendi and Atani, and give true life to Casari. And He forsaw the end of the World, saying that the Children of Ilúvatar together will sing a Second Lindale, to make greater and better Arda. And what's for where he is? In the Timeless Halls (a place without time), at least from an Arda person viewpoint.
Eru, in the Arda point of view, is John Ronald Reuel Tolkien. He yet did everything I wrote. And his profecy showed to be true. When Arda did end, when JRRT died, the Children of Ilúvatar did sang a new Lindale : the Outer people, the Atani (we) and the Inner people, the others, Quendi, Casari, Ainur etc. (in Arda), we created new Ardas, better and greater. Indeed TLA is one of those Lindale.
WHAT ARE THE TIMELESS HALLS?
It's our own Universe. The Years of Arda passed within the lifespan of Tolkien, so, for a Arda-dweller, Our world is "Timeless", for we have a different time.
WHO ARE WE? ETARDIE ATANI or ERUR?
We are indeed not Atani. We didn't die in Arda and join Eru (for I never lived with him at all) But the Atani did got out of Arda and joined Eru, for our own pleasure and their own existence. But we are, in Tolkien's world's viewpoint, Erur, that is, multiple possible Eru. We create worlds, or we can. So, in some way, we are all Erur (but we are not Arda's Eru, for this title is only JRRT's. Being Eru is to imagine a world. This imagination becomes a reality for what's in our imagination. Think of the Ainur as the Thoughts of our brain, and Arda, as the building of those Thoughts. It makes sense, and for thoses Thoughts, the World in our imagination is reality.
IF WE ARE ERUR, WHY DO WE PRAY TO GODS (LIKE GOD, AMATERASU, SHIVA ETC.)?
In fact, I think that there is possibility that all the gods we worshiped were some kind of Ainur for our Universe. Even God. Because, our Universe may as well be in the head of some writer, and we would be his characters. Thoses gods would be bond to the world, as Ainur were in Arda. A True Eru cannot show his face, he's Outside of the World (and cannot enter it), Metauniversal, as I say.

History must be known and aknowledged, but must also be left in it's proper place: the past.
I TOTALLY AGREE WITH THIS.
I don't know if we should count on private companies. I think that we should count on ourselves and live on our own lifes. I'm the one who will support cooperatives (even nationwide, as Desjardins used to be in Quebec), PME and any local developpement (that stays local in both his pruduction and selling). I like self-sufficientcy a lot. As for transnational affairs, only if absolutely needed (becose everyone is involved or because only some can do something, as for Maple Syrup in Quebec) or if very useful (as for scientific broadcast)...
-
Don't know if you noticed, but you still don't know the Elf's name
(It was so hard to not tell the name, as it was a wise choice I made, both for not telling it and because the name I chose (because he has) fits quite well with the character...) -
DUA RAKONTERO - CHE LA LAGO DE LA ARBARO (Second Chapter, by the Lake of the Forest)
Some time later after we finished school, with Karl and my family, we went on the traditionnal summer trip. In the forest, we builded our camp and my both parents made everything ok. We wanted do more rustic camp possible. An ordinary tent, made of loose textile, and all the needs of Artabasquiade. While my parents cleaned up the camp, I, Sophiane and Karl went into the deep forest to walk a bit.
Then is when everything changed. I was standing silently, and I hear a bird's signing and rushed to see that bird, I had never climbed that fast a tree (if we could indeed call it climbing). I was so good that I took with me my sister and we both looked to the little bird-kid. On that instant time, I lost counsciousness about my deeds. I rushed from treebranch to treebranch, not like a monkey, but as if I was running, each branch being one of my step. I crossed the whole forest. Even if it was a long run, I didn't feel tired ; on the contrary, I was as waken up as never before, on that time. I heard whatever noise from a plant or animal. After that run, I found myself in front of a great Lake, bigger than the one we were camping by. I then came to hallucinate.
I first saw a colourful place, without proper definition. I was moving in it like an element, by all directions, without having one precise, without control. I was distinguishing nothing, as to ask myself if reality was to be in such a place. Suddently, I felt that the place was organizing itself. Images of all sorts, being like a story, were passing before my eyes. I saw people that looked somehow like I was and, also, feminine possible versions of the same kind. And, in the middle of that, there was a basket, where I saw myself, exactly how I was on my first pictures. Than I entirely lost counsciousness : I don't remember anything.
Meanwhile, my sister Sophiane was still by the small bird where I left her, on that high branch. So she jump back down, falling in Karl's arms, trying to catch her as he could. Both then rushed to follow me. Sophiane saw the lake where I was, and she saw me lying down. She cried her time, thinking I was dead. Karl cheered her up, telling I wasn't dead and trying to wake me up, what he was able to do after half an hour, if it wasn't only my natural awakening. I then telled them the whole story ; both had a lot of questions. I never had such hallucinations, even though I tried to have such things in my youth...
We returned to the camping site ; I was repeating to myself every detail of what happened. I also remembered how I felt the whole Universe appear in front of me. The forces' intensity where I was wandering, even if in daily life we don't get to feel them. From that time until today, I began to feel things way over my basic senses, or were they only senses that I had that I never used before then...
To not worry my parents, we said nothing about what happened, eagerly speaking of what we saw meanwhile (the Great Lake). The day passed. The week passed. Everything went right, even if I was still feeling a lot more new things then before, things that I still can feel now, as you can see...

Regions' map
-
The French word is Détroit
Passe is an older word, and it was a place where you "passed" through 
I think that the englsih translation is Channel. -
Here's the map I came with. I only showed the lands and seas, with main rivers. I will explain where is everything.
(Note to Akya : You will now recognize a normal work of mine)
I noted 6 points of different colors.
Blue : The Ninquequendi Capitol Turfolin (There is a black rectangle surrounding those islands because they are west of the normal map)
Red : Minas Tirith, the former Gondorian Capitol
Gold-Yellow : Ost-i-Ariel, the Capitol of Arielle
Bright Green : Sawtej, the Tumzilen's Seat
Brown : Sauron's Hideout Tauricotumo, in the middle of the great Jungle
Black : Fords of the Black River (Morduin)
Here is also some descriptions of the map. You see, to the north, there's a pass between Helcar and Formenear (North-sea). Full of islands, I called that place, temporarly, the Water Labyrinth. To the south, we have a second pass, to Belegaer. It's between the Taurduaith (see Map Mirandiro) and the Grey Mountains.
For more infos, just ask me, and I'll answer. I intend to color it later.
P.S. : What you see here is a small version of the map. The one I have on my computer is 8 times bigger (so I will be able to make great details of it.)

Ariel

Well,
He's mostly goes around alone.
RELATIONSHIPS
With his father, there are some problems, as when he adopted a child, he wasn't sure that with him it would have been an easy life (so, Alexander is quite scared, and he is who puts the bandana, not his mother.). Actually, his father is the reason why the family never went far with the Elf-like boy : he didn't want to be looked. But he filled ashamed when he discovered that all his fears were wrong (because in fact, the boy was very liked at school).
With his mother, the situation is quite easier. When they adopted it is she who asked to adopt the Longeared guy (while the father wanted more the other one). She developped a great bond, and it was she who always took care of the boy when he asked questions and everything. It will never be explained, but it may be by the kid's help that she became pregnant of Sophiane, the sister. But his mother also felt that he could take care of himself quite easily : that's why they never really talk.
As for Karine, the orphan-keeper, he went on visit a lot of times, and he also helped when there was a new orphan in the house. Also, a tutor relationship is a quite strong bond in the context : most of the time, the youngster must be a good friend with the tutor. Since Karine was older, she was like a Grand-mother to the kid.
With Sophiane, it was a strange relation. Who know how slibing relationship can be fightful, but they had the contrary. In fact, the brother always took care of Sophiane, even when he was very young. He did not became protective, and let her live her life, but they were mostly alike. Also, Sophiane was the only kid he knew from a young age, and they were always together from childhood. But in the story, their bond is more explained, and becomes stronger.
At school, he did have pals, of either sex, but he had mostly only one friend, Karl. His relationship with Karl is quite bizarre. Karl always somehow looked up to his friend. He also never was a cheering friend : he always hid in his friend's shadow. But what was his main point, is that Karl was to onlyy kid to oppose him in an intellectual way : they were intellectual friends, speaking of life or philosophical topics. They never really played together : Karl, after learning to read, always read, what his friend didn't really like : the last one only reading to learn and know more (not reading for reading). And Longeared liked to play sports, what Karl generally disliked. But it doesn't explain why they are still together : in fact, they completed each other. If you have noticed, Longeared is kind of "innocent", not that he isn't bright, but he does not think about good or bad, strangeness of normality, it's actually Karl's task, in some way. But to Karl, his friend is his intellectual support, whenever needed. So they became used to eaach other. Note that it is not a Strong bond as we could think so of good friends, never quite showing it. But we see that they care of one another.
As for Minako, Samira and Regine, they represent, with Sophiane, in fact the People. Minako is Japanese-descent, Samira is Arab descent and Regine is Haitian-descent (that's why everyone tells her that sunbathing is useless to her). Sophiane is European-descent. Notice that they will not have any true relation with Sophiane's brother : they are only there somehow to show how people are in front of him.
As for Randy, he's the "black sheep". Why is he like this, it's because that in his family, he was mostly left alone. But you will get to know the full story in the text: and there is something special about him.
-
So, I'll try to work something. I'll place my work on Endóre, living for now the Eastern Continents and Aman (fully described). I'll to put together everything and I'll try to put on details into the map so that we can see where everything is.
As for walking, it could be a result of a Casting Disaster, where everyone of the West went on marching eastwards and southwards trying to hide whereever they could. When you don't know the lands, a suprise attack can be on march for months. I'll also try to diminish the regions (in it's litteral sense of "Dominated Land, Dominion") so that there would be "wild lands" between everyone. Indeed, they would not be wild at all, only unknown or lost realms. That could give a more realistic geopolitic.
From what everyone wrote, draw and comment, I'll make up a pre-final map (with the known realms) that will be easy to modify if needed, then I'll come up with the final map, including the final comments. I'll also reread what I have learn of mapmaking before making that prefinal map, since I want it to be great. I also want to make clear it won't look as Tolkien-style map, but as a Zompist-style one, for ever who knows what I'm talking about, for I think they are way better.
So, I'll go on for that task, since I have nothing to do for now...

Black Op : He's not based upon you. Long before I came here did I wrote this little story
As for being humiliated, it'a about every day, but the Elf doesn't bother at all. And Randy isn't quite humiliated, as for only Micheal could beat him. (But that, never it is explained) As for the foe, you'll discover when needed. As for discovering himself,... "chut!".Aldaron : I will surely end that 11 part story. There are 2 for now, I'll add one tonight.
Rohirwine : The story is only a base skecth. As for explanations, what do you want? I can explain them here, maybe do the others need some also. Ans for translating, I done those translation quite quickly, not bothering about perfectness.
Must go, bye!

There is a Foe, but you will discover it at the end.
Had nothing to do, so I translated the longest chapter (and the first)... :
UNA RAKONTERO - LERNEJE (First Chapter, at school)
I was home, it was the last school day. That morning, I woke uo. As usual, my sister jump over me. Well, it was recent, it began when she became a teenager. But I was know used to it. She then asked me questions about my dreams. As an answer, I said that I haven't dream at all, since it seemed that I never dream. After this, I got up, dress myself, keeping on that bandana, and I went downstair to eat breakfast. As usual, I was blamed to eat as a mouse, being that I didn't eat a lot (what I eat for a day is what my sister used to eat, and she wasn't eating a lot). Then, I done my daily tasks before going to school, after waiting for my sister. We went together to school. There, we went aside, and she handed to me with great signs and joined her friends, that made monkey-like signs to me as well.
I went to join Karl, that I saw by the meantime, and we quickly entered the college. After normal blessings, all positives, we went to our common locker, as usual. Karl, as usual, saw Randy Upperridge, the Bullyer of my younger days, rushing by my side. Without bothering, I took a spare bandana in my locker, and as Randy took of my actual bandana, I put on an other one within an instant. Randy, upset, shouted insults, that only Karl bothered to demolish. Then, Karl turn back to me, asking why I didn't bother, and I still answered because he wasn't worth it.
Later on, I left Karl, asking if this year he wanted to participate in my family's yearly trip to the Lake. He accepted, saying that otherwise he would be left alone by his parents. So I went on to my class, where my teacher attended.
We exchanged ideas on History, and he gave me tips on the next year. I had to choose a study topic before the end of the third semester, to write an essay on it before the end of next year. At last, he questioned me on my bandana. All year long, he respected my right to have on that bandana in claass, and never ask the ultimate question. But he then asked it. I eagerly said him the whys and quickly he said that it didn't bother him. I then explained that I myself didn't know how I came to have those ears and everything.
Because, by looking, I seem like a normal person, if we can say so. Well, I quite fulfill the description of a human, appearently. But we can already see differences. I have developped senses. When I ever looked the Ocean, I could see, far off, the city of the Phare, on the Isle of Sevy. I can smell the most faint strange smelling, so that my family relied on me for knowing if the food was still good or not. With my ears, I could hear very high pitched sounds and very low pitched ones, unhearable by normal human. I can easily tell about any change of the temperature, even if not a lot.
Otherwise, and that, it's my sister who tried to explain and reexplain me, it would seem that Grils can't resist to me. Sophiane, used to is, didn't seem to bother (but thinking of those mornings, it might be less true than what we can think) but I understand my sister when I look to her three friends. They always rush on me, to wave me hands or to look at me with those eyes... Well, I am supposed to be as beautiful as a God, like used to say Minako. Even on the inside, it seems good : I'm never sick, except when I'm bored, not enough stimulated. And my ears, my great physical difference. This kicks out the human qualifier to me. But about everything, I don't know from where it came.
I explained him my adoption, a rare case (or even unique) where no information was available on my birth. After this, he let me go until the end of summer, when I'll begin my Full Mastery.
After class, quite quick, I went on the Running track, where I wanted to train a bit and, moreover, train the newcomers. After a good training with the new ones and an intense one with the old ones, I ask my chief instructor if I could go on the bench and relax. He accepted, after his unrespectful comments on my sister's friends, and I departed. But the end wasn't there : Randy wanted to race, as he was the second best racer (I was first...). So I was engaged. We ran, I won, as usual. People encouraged me and him. After winning, I went on the benches to chat with my friends.
So I talked about my day until know. We chat about the Macleod Family's Forest Trip, about the fact that the three girls would not be there, willing to stay all summer long on the Sevy's beaches. Later, we spoke about our summer. Minako would have a summer course about Calligraphy (for she were of Japanese descent). Samira would travel south to visit for some time her family over there. Regine planned nothing, she wanted to sunbath (but we all said to her that it was useless...) and relax on the shore, looking at guys. Karl said he would do about nothing, except the Forest Trip and something he called "Naturgranda" (Of nature's size), played as it was supposed to be played by the Antemonde people, as it was thought to be by the books. Sophiane said that she felt tired and wanted to relax summerlong with Regine. I, as usual, had nothing planned.
After that empty chat, each one went back home. Karl to the bus to go back to the Northern City, where he know lives with his parents. The other went by the streets to go home. My sister Sophiane and I went both in our room, to officialy end the school year. After, it was dinner, when mother and father were back from University, where they both worked. Then we chat about our day, we ate our meal and, then, we went on doing our last lonely activities. I then went on the roof, with my litter, laid myself down and I look upon the Sky, clear, and the Stars, shiny, kindly thinking about History I had learn all year long, as you see me look the stars when we traval.
But it was nothing but an ordinary day.

If someone wants to know how I feel an Elf would live in our modern time, here's what I thought. (This is the first part out of 11)
ANTAWRAKONTO (Prologue)
"I was born right there, in that orphanage, on the street's corner. Do you see? It only a small orphanage. In the neighborhood where I was born, there were not a lot of orphans, let there by unwilling parents. But it may be my case. Well, I was left in front of that door and, after some walking by person (or my true parents, who knows) rang the door, I was received by the orphelinist, a fair young woman. She found me in a basket, where I laid, with a small litter and this amulet, without knowing where it came from. I found myself with another baby, he had just arrived. But then two adoptings entered the orphanage, wanting to adopt a kid. The orphelinist presented both of us, and I was chosen. I had new parents. The orphelinist later will have become my Tutor, even though she didn't had a lot to do.
My new parents, Alexander and Joséane Macleod, raised me as if I were their proper child. Even if they were supposed to not be able to have a kid on their own, 2 years after I came, my mother gave birth to my younger sister. That is how we have become a small family, quite simple, in the middle of the University of Delta's Borough. Later, I went to Kindergarden. There is when I first was astonished by the world. I never before went out of my house. We didn't travel a lot, and I wasn't into travelling a lot at that time, despite today. It was the first time I ever got so far from my house, I hade a bandana on my ears, hinding everything. Neither I or my sister well understood why I had to wear such a thing. I went into the Schoolyard. Unwilling to go to the other kids, I laid down on grass.
Sometime later, another kid came by my side. He said Hello, I responded the same. We exchanged names, his being Karl, and we stayed there, looking in the nothingness of clouds. He was to become my best friend. Then, the bell rang. We were told to go to our classroom. My friend and I got up and departed. Meanwhile, the one that will become the Bullyer, my Bullyer, went on steling my bandana. Karl didn't bother at all, but the other seemed somehow to bother and looked at me with strange eyes : I began to question myself. One of the teachers, yelling to that guy, somehow punished him and gave me back my bandana. I placed it back on my ears, as it was, and everyone went in the classroom.
Suddently, in the changing room of the class, I saw a mirror. I then asked to Karl to explain me the issue, and he explained all the issue, as he thought it. He pointed my head, well, my ears, then he showed me the ears of the other kids, also his. I had indeed larger and longer ears. In the classroom, each classmate presented himself. When it was my turn, I show off what was under my bandana and called myself, as I was doing so, Longorela, which in the common language means "Longeared". So did I live through those yaers with school. My ears became a myth by the time. Newcomers were numerous, and I didn't eagerly show my ears : people were then puzzled when they tried to find the origin of my name. It was a pure mystery. I passed my Firstschool, my Secondschool, my Thirdschool and the first part of Fourthschool, and this all before the age of 18. I made an Understand of Ecology, including anything possible about social or natural sciences : this programm was specially made for me, as I wanted to study the more that I could.
But I stayed in the same school as Karl, because he had followed a more normal cursus. So, in a thridscholarship school, I began a Master (second part of Fourthscolarship) of History. I still participated in student activities, within it the Running Team, but also the school Newspaper. But, on the last year before my Full Mastery, my life for ever changed....

Bienvenue sur le forum! J'espère que tu resteras longtemps !
ça fait plaisir d'avoir un (/une?) autre francophone sur WFG
We could say I'm francophone. Most French-speakinglings understand what I say, but I must say that my French is Enlgish-biased. When I was younger, I was used to say "La rouge pomme", which is VERY bad French. In fact, I would be perfectly speaking English and not using French if I had lived a couple more years in Ontario, where I used to live when I was young. (And that's how I can speak English without having studied it before in class...) My French is now way better, but good French speaking people will recognize my French as somewhat Frenglish
At least, I don't need a dictionnary when I'm writing. Sometimes, I should use it (to make sure I'm not using a Frenglish word), but I'm just to lazy to reach it (even if I always keep it next to me
).P.S. : I really did not study English (and I think I don't want to, prefering Japanese, Esperanto and Quenya way before, and having Inuktitut in my mind). I am among the lucky who have it in their soul...

But Cuivienen can be found on my map (well, a remaining, but it was no more a forest, but in the great plains, so Cuivienen may not be anymore), but the Avari crossed in my map the Orocarni and became the Carniquendi (but still called themselves Quendi) a little after the beginning of the second age, spreadinf through Rekiger (there are also small Quendi realms all over Endore, but small ones, hiding from Men
, only in Rekiger do they not hide).Hint to Akya (also to others, finally) : being so, you may have some Quendi realms around you, be aware

I see we have great differences.
I was not into reshaping Middle Earth. I did indeed refine the eastern and southern parts, but I thought we would not need more. I tried to developp Geopolitics rather than a new world. That's why I tried to get more and more informations to build a good geopolitic.
In the western part, we have an Eldarin land against the new Kshazomuth land. Black Op said : A great war between Men and Elves is being prepared. On the Eastern side, we have a strange range of People : The eastern part of Kshazomuth empire (and his own kingdom), souther we have Rekiger, or Carnidore (Dor Carad), the red land, where there is an anarchist (not anarchic, anarchist) mixture of Elves, Men, and Mermen, these last being my proper people. Souther more, we have a Numenorian lost colony, just north to the land of Arielle, The Lady of South.
In the middle of a tropical forest, we have the new Sauron, your islands are on Beleriand, Numenor and your Five Mains of the South. We still have Aman and the three Realms of Calaquendi : Tirion, Alqualonde and Eressea
As for the black lands, there is still the Dark Lands East of Endore. On the southern point it would be great. I didn't knew until know what to do with that land, but I think that Melkor and his Usurpator would be well placed on that land. And you can decide what is there, since never Tolkien described it.
It would go on one of the aspect of Black Op's wish : to get a more eastern story. What would be better than that, since everything's everywhere. And Manwe would feel lost being aside of everything.
As for your map, my story doesn't fit at all in it, since I must still live where I was born (East Endor). I could refine it, but it would be quite strange and how could we explain any omission of that people?... Or I'll have to kick out the Tawsaweeans and get a more "normal" people.
