At the back of the library, behind the "Weapons of war" section, is a large tapestry depicting the volcanic eruption of Mount Doom. Look behind it.
You will notice a hidden door which leads to a hidden room.
IMPORTANT: Make sure no one sees you enter this room. Always check to see if you are being followed. There are many dark secrets in there, that the elves must never see.
The room is windowless. Along one wall are many books.
DO NOT TAKE THESE BOOKS AWAY. They do not belong in the library. They are books of darkness, books of power, many of them dating back to ancient times.
The opposite wall has shelves stacked with jars, filled with a variety of things. Herbal mixtures, plant matter and minerals. There is a jar of spiders, a large vial of blood (source unknown) a box of bones and a jar that contains what looks like an elf fetus. Below the shelves is a long table overspilling with more jars and cluttered with papers, written in the Black speech.
There is a dark altar facing you as you walk through the door. It is lit with black candles.
In the centre of the room are nine thrones arranged in a circle. There is also strange patterns inscribed into the stone floor.
Use this room with respect and caution.

*Strides in, looking over her shoulder and checking for spies.*
Good. No spies.
*Produces a black chest with strange inscriptions all over it.*
This chest contains the 6 other Rings of the Ringwraiths. I feel it should be kept here, with the thrones. They belong together. Where should I place them?

Behind the altar would be a good hiding place.
*rubs hands together, gleefully*
Isn't this fun! Feels just like home.

Yep, yep......The greatest thing is that only the two of us are actually using all the places. That's pretty cool, eh? Lots of space, no disturbance.
*Carries the box over to the altar and sets it behind carefully.*
When the others return, we shall present them their Rings to them during a ceremony in the Hall. The Rings are sacred and proper presentation is practically an order.
This is so fun! We're discovering rooms!

(OOC: It's part of Sidanar's character that she killed a Ringwraith and took its ring as proof of her victory. She then embedded it in kihriesti-crystal so that no one could ever be tempted by it again, and gave it to Mihkuia of the Flames, a goddess, who is as of now trying to melt it. Therefore, you only have 5 other rings.)

( OOC: That's very sad, because we're following Lord of the Rings here and there is no Sidanar in Lord of the Rings and she hasn't taken any Rings because in the book, nor killed a Black Rider. There were 9 Black Riders, until Eowyn defeated one and it is not stated where his Ring went. So we have 6 other Rings as no one is including the Eowyn-Lord of the Nazgûl part in this board.
Sorry for that, but I really like Tolkien's work and I don't want to spoil it by adding characters that don't belong in there. It spoils the feel of the story and the way people think about it.
The Main Point: There are 6 other Rings in the chest. )

(OOC: *shrug* Well, if you don't want her to have taken a ring, then she won't have. But she still did kill a Nazgul, even if she hasn't taken the ring. Keep your 6 rings, and I truly wish you have a good time with them. And Sidanar isn't supposed to be a character from the books. She's a Meddler in Worlds, and she likes the title. She's from the Home, traveled to this world to try and help, and is under strict orders not to mess about so much that she changes everything. All she has is her kihriesti and the ability to change into a drakralyph; all of her accomplishments in this world come only from those. Even though she could use magic like a wizard, she won't, because even a professional Meddler knows not to go too far. I sincerely apologise for bothering you. She didn't kill a Ringwraith as in 'hunt one down to change the storyline'; she was attacked by one, and had to kill it to escape. She paid for that with a wound that nearly killed her, and it took her a year spent in the healing-halls of the Home to recover, after which she returned to this world.)

(OOC: Nevermind......I'll just go on thinking that there are 9 Ringwraiths and you can go on thinking that you killed one. that way, everyone will be happy. I think we'd better stop this discussion or darkshines will get very, very, very mad with me.)

(OOC: Apologies. I got angry enough not to state my point. My point is that we can both coexist as having our own realities, without conflict. When this place fills up and there are 9 people with Ringwraith characters, that'll be okay, because with sidanar's point of view, you used the ring to revive the one she killed, or to make a new one. She'd be all right with that; she didn't really want to kill one. And she did not kill one where or when it would matter in the book. Nor to you people. ... I did it again. My point, loud and clear: Sidanar knows that she can kill a Ringwraith, so she does not fear them as others would. Whether or not she actually killed one in your view, does not matter. The effects are there. I apologise for wasting your time by ranting. I'll stop arguing now. I really didn't meant to cause any harm with this...  ) |

(OOC: All's well now, everyone has gotten everyone else's point. We really should stop this chat here because darkshines will probably de-Ringwraith me if this continues. Don't bother to reply to this post as it will lead to further discussion.)

Do not worry Seventh, the fairy is suffering from some sort of dementia. She is hullicinating, imagining things. We know there is no dark room.
