tales

In this short tale there is a mention of Tu the wizard: '...There was the dwelling of Tu the wizard, and fathomless hollow are those places, but their doors have long been sealed and none know now the entry...' and later: '...On a time did Nuin wander far to the east of Palisor, and few of his...

I found this great story about the rise and fall of an empire on land on the eastern side of middle earth. A very good story. Enjoy! http://www.ardapost.com/Creative_Writing/p2_articleid/129 P.S There are 4 parts to it so far. I will post the 2nd part soon.

I'm stuck! -Not just because I can't think of a good title for this thread ;), but because the Fifteenth is missing! I'm preparing the next installments for the Read it Again.... thread, but I'm having trouble. In the Tale of Years (TROTK, appendix B), Frodo looks into the Mirror of...

I'm not sure if this should be here or in the Green Dragon, but oh well. :o Look at this. :eek: 'tis scary.

A collection of documents which I will endeavor to translate (apparently from Arnor - middle of first millenium of Third Age): Tales of Nolduryon: I, Nolduryon, third son of King Arantar of days long past, brother to our King Tarcil of days yet gone by, and uncle to King Tarondor of these...

Truor's History, Part One. Greetings. After reading part of a very refreshing Dwarf type story by someone around here with a Ghorim name, I was spurred into bringing some of my old stories back, with hopes that it will help me to start writing what's been ambling about in my brain for a while...

http://www.apple.com/trailers/miramax/hero/trailer/ I cant believe PJ won eleven oscar over this movie !!! this movie was classed "foreign" at the oscars. Shouldn't LOTR be classed "foreign" too, it was made in NZ ??? In the same vein that French and Italian cinema pioneered cinema in the...

Evolution of First Age Tales This is similar to one of those chapter by chapter projects that sometimes die from lack of activity, or move along at a slow crawl anyways. Where it differs is that it doesn't look at chapter by chapter of just one book. This will be a look at the tales of the...

Two major lays, and narrative tales in the history of the WotJ, in fact it was to give the background information on one of the lays that Tolkien first wrote out the Sketch of the Silmarillion which he later made fuller version from. I enjoy both, but the tale of Turin least of the two. So I...

'Well then young Peregrin...' Bilbo sighed as he drew himself nearer to the fire. 'If it's family history you're looking for then I have a store of it.' The old hobbit coughed slighty, and drawing a warm blanket about his shoulders, took a long puff on his pipe. He sat in silence for a while...

'Gandalf, Gandalf! Good gracious me! Not the wandering wizard that gave the Old Took a pair of magic diamond studs that fastened themselves and never came undone until ordered? Not the fellow who used to tell such wonderful tales at parties, about dragons and goblins and the unexpected luck of...

Ok, this is a semi-open RPG which means before people should begin to post, we have casting calls to make. That is why I posted the rpg here in the OOC section first before the actual RPG on the IC section. I have actually started this same RPG in MERPG before but because most of the members...

Which tale would you most like to sit by the fire and hear?

Do you think any potential Hobbit movie is at risk for being a LotR prequel first rather than a tale of it's own which just happens to be a prequel? Might a director use this as a chance to tell some history on the White Council and Sauron, instead of making it about Bilbo Baggins the brave...

READ IT! Picked it up in the Library out of a vague interest, not expecting too much or (more accurately) not knowing what to expect. It's fantastic. Tolkien has created his own fairy tales in the same way as he created a new Myth in LotR. Leaf By Niggle is like Kafka meeting the...

Ok, we all know I think "weird" sometimes, so forgive this thread. . . I was thinking about how the heirs of Isildur were raised in Rivendell, and while I know Arwen probably spent a lot of time in Lothlorien, she must've spent sometime in Rivendell. . .therefore, it is logical to assume she...

I don't know if this topic has been made before, but here goes. I have recently read the Silmarillion, and although i was glad i had the opportunity to read a book like this, I was also filled with great sadness for most of the tales told in this book are sad and full of darkness. This could...

Okey doke, this is a story i wrote, I'll type out a bit...not all of it...(typing cramps you know!) :rolleyes: yeah sure... tell me what think! Pm me or just tell me in this thread! Both is good! :) (forgive my spelling) CIRROTH AND THE ANNOYING IMMORTAL KNIGHT In the...

I hope I can post this without asking! If not, delete it. I have saved it. This is based on a true story, and is, like I said, a very sad tale. It is also very short, yet i am usually fairly tothe point. Note: this is not based on thiswebsite or group, so fear not! Once upon a time, there...

Noldolante (Fall of the Noldor) tal-Elmar A New Shadow The Fall of Gil-Galad The Ruin of Doriath Other Mine would have to be Maglor's Noldolante.
