"It's my first time here too, y'know."

"And here I thought you were all knowing."

"Only apparently so. It's a carefully-crafted illusion."

"You're a master at that craft, then."

"Thank you!"

She laughs. "Any good princess acknowledges skill when she sees it!"

"Then you must be one of the greats."

"Well, I shouldn't argue with my subjects about that..."

Nod nod. "Humility is good, but too much just makes you seem ignorant."

"Or like I'm just putting on a show of it."

"Neither option is desirable."

"...No, it isn't."

"Doesn't seem like it'll be a real problem for you, though."

"...I hope it never is."

"Just make sure to pick your advisors and companions carefully."

"I've been trying."

"And succeeding, if I do say so myself."

"I started strong, at least."

"Start as you mean to continue!"

"And I have."

"Let's get walking, then."

"Alright." Onwards?

Onwards. See if they can't fill some more details into their maps.

There's a lot of Middle Earth beyond the coastline - the most well known areas to Numenor are the coastal cities of the Noldor, the small dwarven settlements still clinging to life in the Blue Mountains, and the thin scattering of native Men. But there's towns and villages and pastures networks of wild lands beyond that - a great road plunges from the largest elven haven to the southeast, running towards Eregion and Khazad-dum and the natural overland passes through the imposing Misty Mountains. They hear the most gossip about Eregion and Khazad-dum - the names aren't unknown to Numenor, of course, but they have little to do with either kingdom directly in the normal course of things.

Sounds interesting to Sulumithil. Where they're likely to find the strongest local culture.
