The Bounds of Lindon
The Bounds of the kingdom Lindon were marked subtly, and these markers were frequently enchanted. The Second Age saw its borders indicated by stones carved with a single shining star. Other signs were Elf-flowers growing by the path. If one ignored or missed these, the odd Huorn or Awakened Tree, slumbering, could be found; the owls and the deer seemed to peer with strange intensity, the mist seemed to linger past noon, and the mountains of blue lay immobile, but seeming like a wall manned with trees, knowing.
Rivers were guarded by watch-stones: boulders carved with runes and dropped into the stream. Through this evil was warded against and warned of.
