middle earth

This is basically an exercise to try and assign 'Dungeons & Dragons' alignments to evil characters in the legendarium. Morgoth is probably clearly chaotic evil, though may also exhibit lawful evil tendencies (for example he commands armies), while Sauron may be described as Lawful evil. Their...

I, obviously, don't mean "eternal" such as we'd still be using now, in, what was it, the Seventh Age (though I thought Melkor was only set to be trapped for four ages before Dagor Dagorlath, but I'd heard, from other reports, that Tolkien said we're in sixth or seventh age now.) Still, could...

I know the Valar send a select group of Maiar to sail to middle earth to aid the free people's in the overthrow of Sauron. However, surely there are more powerful beings than the wizards at the disposal of the Valar that could have defeated the lord of the rings much faster, much easier and with...

My Kickstarter campaign for my new book, "Middle-earth Lore: Tolkien's Legends Revealed," is now live! Please help us spread the word to any Middle-earth fans who might be interested in buying the book. Edited by our very own Ent! Who offered some magical insight and contributions to the...

Hey! I knew of this cover but am only sharing it recently. It is a cover of Misty Mountains Cold by Colm R. McGuinesss. A Youtube Irish Singer and Musician. This is the closest thing we will get to music from Middle-earth I bet. CL

Here are the picture and contents of this book referred our way by member @Elessar91. Another patiently waiting my ability to get at it for consumption. In a brief scan, I do note the author is prone to use of the "unnecessary 'that'" but the nature of the content may well exceed my own personal...

There is very little information about the elf named Falathar. We only know that he was a follower of Finrod and was later moved to Falas. So, after fighting in the War of Wrath, did Falathar remain in Middle Earth? Or did he return to Valinor? Was Falathar in Middle Earth in the Second Age and...

Tolkien is the Father of Modern Fantasy as we know it. He labored over every word of his works as a historian and linguist, bringing Arda into being as we read about it today, as if it were a real time in our world of old. Tolkien himself has said he does not feel he entirely made up...

There are very important characters that are not on the list, but I have included the most important and famous ones as much as I could. Who do you think is the biggest and most important figure and character of Middle Earth mythology? I say Turin because; He traveled all over Beleriand He...

In a fan wiki, the population of all races throughout all the ages of Middle-earth is shared. I am skeptical because it is a fan site. but do you think it is true and if so, how accurate is it? if the data is correct, there does not seem to be a huge population difference between the first and...

As you all know, since all the valar are gods, they are taller and much greater than all races in size and length. For example, melkor is said to be as tall as a tower. So which race do you think is closest to the valar in size? I vote for the dragons, because when the ancalagon flew through the...

What are the punishments for breaking the law in Middle Earth. Where they like historical punishments in Europe (having your hand chopped off for stealing), or where they more lenient?

I do not include war of wrath, nirnaeth arnoediad and dagor bragollach in the list. Because these wars are the most famous battles of middle-earth history and very large-scale wars. The theme of decline in middle-earth is only about the weakening of races and the decline of balrogs. That is, the...

I'm at work and don't have my tools at hand, sorry. I've read Galadriel is "the last remaining Eldar in M-e" at the time of LoTR's ending. I'm not sure this is accurate, as Cirdan and Celeborn remain after she leaves, to aid those elves who will still sail west until the time comes none wanting...

Has anyone added this work into their library, and have you thoughts on it? As a "user of your minutes", was it worth them? From the quick review of the contents within Amazon's posting, it seems it might be more than just a 'fun read', but be expnalatory of Tolkien himself, and his approach to...

hello friends, I had a chat with a Turkish middle-earth historian on twitch. Don't be fooled that he is Turkish. He has read all the Middle-earth books many times and has even read the Silmarillion at least 10 times. And he is currently one of the most knowledgeable people in the world about...

Fellow humans. I was wondering if anyone has calculated the timeline of Middle Earth to Earth transformation? Is there even a current consensus on whether Tolkien meant that Middle Earth became earth, as I remember reading in a few places? This is the necessary pretense to be followed by my...

What was the southern continent of Middle Earth like, meaning vegetation, climate, and geography. And is there an accurate map of it during the 3rd age?

Many people do not realize that one of the best and most famous rock bands ever, Led Zeppelin, wrote many songs directly referring to or cleverly hinting about LOTR material. This would make sense, due to the fact that the band itself was British and into the mystical and fantasy. Just thought...
