MS469 - Mithril Gold Status figure 'Lossoth
Hunter' (primed).
This is May 2007's
Winning idea. It was suggested by Tom Wrich.
Brief History:
The Lossoth or Snowmen of were few in number and dwelt on
the shores of the Ice bay of Forochel, beyond the northern
borders of ancient Arnor. Their clothing was made from animal
skins and would have been highly decorated with abstract patterns
and borders. Their headwear, which was probably made of a
thick felt, would also have been decorated. They hunted, primarily
with spear and harpoon and did not take kindly to strangers,
though they did give aid to the fugitive Arvedui who fled
to Forochel after his defeat by the With-king at the battle
of Fornost in 1974 T.A.
When an elven-ship came
to rescue him, he rewarded the Lossoth for their friendship
with the Ring of Barahir. His hosts sensed approaching disaster,
and warned Arvedui not to board the ship. Against their advice,
he did so, but a great storm overwhelmed the ship and last
King of Arthedain was lost in the cold waters of the far north.
Dimensions:
Lossoth Hunter measures 32mm in height.
This figure is blister packed
and primed in Mithril's special undercoat.
