"'It is ever so with the things that Men begin; there is a frost in Spring, or a blight in Summer, and they fail of their promise.' "

― Gimli, The Last Debate

Ederchil Loegion is a very busy user who's supposed to be working on his BA paper, but prefer procrastinating.

No, really

I'm a 22 year old student from Groningen, the Netherlands. Don't you call that Holland. The name Ederchil - I've been using it for a couple of years now - is a rough translation of my first name, Olof - "descendant of forefathers". Allthough I'm a lover of the minor non-Eldarin languages - Khuzdul, Adûnaic and Westron, currently I'm busy on the real-world part of the site.

I'm also citizen #6454 at Minastirith.com (though not around very often), and part-time translator on Merin Essi ar Quenteli.

To Do List

Stuff I'm planning to do, some day:

1. An article on the Gondorian dialect of Sindarin.
2. Improve the Inklings article.

Current plans

1. Remove articles from "Dead-end pages" and "Orphaned Pages"-lists.
2. Play WikiGnome (or should that be WikiÑoldo?) and WikiFairy (or should that be WikiMaia?)
3. Find and add opening quotes to articles.
4. Work on the "On Earth" section of the calendar.
