I will see who might be taught, lembas are a simple craft, though I lack the leaves to pack them properly. I know not if mellyrn will grow in these lands, nor if they can be hastened, but an attempt should be made if we are to truly give such rations to our kin.
[Ellana had expressed a fondness for the idea of the trees, for old knowledge, as had Merrill. Either might be taught baking and, of course, Legolas would be offered the knowledge as well, but she held little hope that he could learn the craft. Siuona was given to the growing of plants, but Samwise Gamgee was the best choice, in her mind, if they wished to grow one of the golden trees.
She would ask for the hobbit's assistance once their conversation was done.]
Ignore them, for now. [Galadriel eyed the map. The town had a name that was not unfamiliar to her, but she was not eager to address it, nor why she knew it.]
I have sworn to avoid such things, the reading of mortal hearts, and it is not a promise I would break lightly. The presence of a town will hinder us little and, once we are stronger, they may leave of their own accord.
Then, if you like, we may offer gifts to those who would resettle or punishment to those whose guilt is known.
Without need, I would not interfere in mortal affairs, nor make promise of land that we have not claimed. We shall have enough difficulty aiding our own people without taking on the welfare of the shemlen as well. Ferelden may not be so accommodating of the displaced, not as we strip them of their slaves and servants.
