Amalina, a cheerful merchant from Mountain Hall, known for selling sturdy axe heads and iron pegs, is quick to laugh at Odo’s constant grumbling. Where the shepherd sees danger and uncertainty, she sees prosperity and order. She speaks highly of the Beornings, who now guard the Old Ford across the Great River, ensuring that merchants, travelers, and pilgrims can journey safely through the region. In her eyes, the renewed trade and growing ties between the Free Folk are signs of a healthier Wilderland, not a troubled one. Whenever Odo predicts doom on the horizon, she simply shakes her head and insists that everything is proceeding exactly as it should be.
