Then Varda went forth from the council, and she looked out from the height of Taniquetil, and beheld the darkness of Middle-earth beneath the innumerable stars, faint and far. Then she began a great labour, greatest of all the works of the Valar since their coming into Arda. She took the silver...
I recently discovered that my soon-to-be-published book is larger than I thought it was. I am looking to reduce its size. I have lore and movie-related sections that I would like to submit to a Tolkien-related website, or perhaps a magazine even. Does anyone have any suggestions?
Robert from In Deep Geek on YouTube just posted a video on his personal views of what he considers the 7 Wonders of Middle Earth. He was taking into account race made structures and not natural wonders or trinkets such as rings or any special crafts like from Feanor.

Hi!
I came around this video today. It's about the greatest friendships in Arda. I just missed on the list Narvi and Celebrimbor friendship. What's you favorite friendship in Tolkien works?

If you remember before, I made my own list. I want to know your opinions. Who do you think is the best swordsman in the history of middle earth? I said Turin Turambar because the dragon killed Glaurung and Melkor. The high elf Fingolfin could not. But turin killed Melkor in Dagor Dagorath. What...
