Who do you think can be the character who has fought the most in wars of beleriand and wars of jewels, including all wars? I think it's celebrimbor. If true, it says on lotr.fandom that he fought all in these wars and battles. Dagor-nuin-Giliath Dagor Aglareb Dagor Bragollach Nirnaeth Arnoediad...

You know me from the forums but I am now a self-publishing author who just began a Kickstarter for my first book titled "The Road Goes Ever On and On A New Perspective on J. R. R. Tolkien and Middle-earth." Kickstarter supporters receive special perks such as sighed copies, early access, reduced...

Among the characters who have had the most memorable success against evil in middle-earth, which one do you think has the greatest success?

I keep thinking of the fox that was watching the characters sleeping and wondering about them. As if it had sentient thought. I know the eagles are, in some way, but is the fox? Animals like him? Please discuss. P.S. MODS please feel free to move this to the correct forum if this is the...

Hi there, I've only read The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings so far, and going to pick up the Silmarillion next. Now I found also the following two books at the bookstore: - The Complete History of Middle-earth - The Complete Guide to Middle-earth Am I right that these books are different...

Did anybody watch the football match Barcelona vs Inter yesterday? My father did and I heard one of the sports commentators saying: "They're trying to kick the ball to the goal with the same frequency with which Legolas shoots arrows". :D I suppose you didn't hear this comment because it was the...

I dunno how many other Pokémon fans there are out there, but I've been one longer than I've been a Tolkien fan. On YouTube it's sort of a rite of passage for a PokéTuber to create their own region. Most base it off of the country or state they live in, or have a genealogical connection to. I...

My understanding of how magic works in Middle Earth is that it is simply a degree of "allowance" given to certain characters by Iluvatar (or Sauron in the case of human "sorcerers") based on a number of factors (race, deeds, destiny etc). In my mind, it's a very simple magic system when you...

Hello, I was wondering what "I love you" in the Elvish language means, furthermore, I wanted to know more about love in the elven culture. How do they love, etc? Also, are there books about that topic? Lastly, I wanted to ask if anyone knows if there is a phrase, word, or name you call...

I couldn't find a specific "Book Report" thread here, so I thought I'd put this one up. I finally received the new 2022 "Complete Guide to Middle Earth" by Robert Foster. I already had the 'revised and enlarged edition' from 1979. I do enjoy it... it's a great summary/background on many of...

SInce it's from EA, I'm sure it'll be full of in-game purchases and probably not that good but here's the gameplay.

I'm doing something weird. Last year I got it in my head that my Halloween display theme should be "Mordor". Full size Tolkien-related props aren't really a thing that you can buy, so I've had to make, am still making and will probably ALWAYS be making the props for this display. I'm a jack of...

I've recently stumbled across this article which talks about the recent photos released by the studio. And it seems like the producers of the show didn't read the books. What's really annoying about this (correct me if I'm wrong) is the fact that the series attempts to cover what happened in the...

Yes, for people who don't want to shell out for the expensive metal or resin miniatures of the sort I've posted previously, there are companies that produce in soft plastic, like the old Aifix sets some may remember from childhood. One of the most prolific is Redbox, under their Dark/Light...

Why don't we play this game? Well, probably, it's possible to relate smth back not only to LOTR but to any of Tolkien's books. I'll start. Breakfast No, too easy. Lunch

Who else created a character for themselves that lives in middle earth and then wrights a book for that character and wants to convince any future children that the book is true Or is it just me

I've just finished reading The Silmarillion, Children of Hurin, and The Hobbit, and I'm now reading LOTR. I've come across a few stories in the LOTR that seem to talk about events that happened in the Middle Earth east of Belleriand. I was wondering if there's a book that I can read that tells...
