Not sure if this is a meme or not but kind of cool

Not mine, but so accurate:

Thats all. I just wanted to show off my meme.

Let's realign the mashup.

SO we're doing SW/LOTR mash-ups now? I'm game

Slightly amusing:
I found this "For what crimes would you go to prison in first age Beleriand" quiz
https://uquiz.com/quiz/qgozlq/why-and-by-whom-you-would-be-imprisoned-in-first-age-beleriand

Apparently I'd go to prison because Thingol arrested me for speaking Quenya. Who knew?!

I had to check if this was real - and It is! How cool is that? 😂
If you want to check for yourself, it's below Iceland.

Now I'm not knowledgeable down to fine details of Graeco-Roman, Norse, Celtic, Old Egyptian, Mesopotamian or what not mythology, anything but. But as a "ballpark" guess, I would think only the mythology (in western eyes) of India can match that of Middle-earth as for the huge number of names of beings and places. There was one "criticism" of The Sil when it was published: "a telephone directory of Elvish" or something to that effect.

And anyway, Iceland - that would be a remnant of Hithlum, I would guess? 🤔
