east

Since it’s a forum - I’ll get four rums, please.

According to what is said; Tolkien had written a letter to an friend or acquaintance in Wales. This letter was to someone who was sold in an auction in France (Marseille). There were those who saw it. In this letter, the nickname "Eastern Ring Slave" was used for one of the Nazgul, and it was...

I came across a wiki page the other day about "the land of the sun" which is apparently east of Middle Earth, but the page has very little information about it, and what it does have is not the most clear. Has anyone previously found any information about it? Is there just a whole uninhabited...

Does Tolkien ever write about the far east? What about that lake where all the elves are supposed to originate from? Are there elves or dwarves living in the east? If so, do they live secretly from the barbaric men around them? And do you think the two wizards not mentioned in LOTR found an...

Just popping in with a quick question, and I figured this would be as good a place as any to ask it: Details dwindle as one goes further east in Middle-Earth, ranging from the maps ending, to Gandalf's "...to the East, I go not." So is it a region left completely unexplored by Tolkien? Or is...

In which direction—North, South, West or East—should Frodo have departed from the Shire? How would the story have panned out if he had headed off in a northerly, westerly, or southerly direction?

Do any maps exist of the lands South and East of Mordor?

East of the Iron Hills are the Mountains of th east and the sea of Helcar but after the war of wrath were they separated from Middle Earth?

For any of you who have 'the Tolkien Beastiary' you will have noticed the full map of Middle Earth and the Undying Lands - but it has ocurred to me that only a small corner of Middle Earth appears in LotR. While we have mentions of Ruhn and Harad, it makes me wonder if we have any mention of...

I haven't read the Sil, but I was wondering if anyone knows anything concerning Harad. From the little glimpses that we get in the Lord of the Rings it sounds very intruiging. I get the impression it's kind of a dessert. Also, I was wondering if Tolkien drew any maps of other sections of Middle...

Here's an interesting question, what happened to the Blue Wizards when they were sent to the far east? For those who haven't read the Lost Tales, the Blue Wizards were among the Maiar sent to Middle Earth, their names escape me but oh well...nothing is mentioned of them that I have read, so...
