  The Elfstone Larp
Elfstone is a live-action roleplaying experience set in the Fourth Age of J.R.R. Tolkien's Middle-earth.
We are a brand-new group based in the Atlanta, Georgia (USA) area, but welcome all fans of LARPing and Tolkien's world from all over.
Elfstone features real-time combat, using foam latex "boffer" weaponry, although our greatest emphasis is on dramatic storytelling, immersive roleplay, and character development.

  Elfstone - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Tolkien's fictional Middle-earth universe, Elfstone, also known as the Elessar or the Stone of Eärendil, is a famous green jewel that Galadriel gives as a gift to Aragorn just before the Fellowship of the Ring leaves the wood of Lothlórien.
This stone, worn by Aragorn, later causes him to also be given the name of Elessar by the people of Minas Tirith.
Another point of note, is that Aragorn urged Bilbo Baggins to include a green jewel in his poem about Eärendil, possibly anticipating the symbolic importance that the gem would have in his life.

The Elfstone was elvish glass, or at least could have been derogatorily referred to as such.
It was clearly at this point that the Elfstone first emerged, as a green gem set in a brooch worn by Galadriel and given as a parting gift to Gimli and it seems equally plain that my father immediately adopted it (or more accurately, re-adopted it) as the true name of Trotter.
The Elfstone was the Lady's gift to him, not to Gimli and in giving it to him she made a play on his name.

Elfstone Linux is a specialized distribution designed for programmers, engineers, and network administrators.
In fact, Elfstone Linux is so server-oriented that it's not designed to co-exist with another operating system on a machine: when you install it, you install it to take over a machine's entire hard drive.
Elfstone Linux is based on Linux 2.2.6 and includes XFree86, the GNU gcc compiler, Adobe Acrobat Reader 4.0, GIMP, Netscape Navigator 4.6, and other assorted X Window and OSF/Motif utilities not included as part of the core XFree86 release.

She heals Walker Boh and tells him that the Elfstone is in the hands of the Stone King, who seeks to turn all the world to stone.
To secure the Elfstone they must travel through the Charnal Mountains into the perilous, unknown land beyond.
They form a strange company to undertake the quest: Walker Boh, with only one arm and no longer able to summon his magic; Morgan Leah, whose once-magic sword has been broken; Quickening, who must depend on the men for her defense; and Pe Ell, an assassin who plans eventually to kill her.
