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...

FAMILY TREE OF THE CHARACTERS OF MIDDLE-EARTH LEGENDARIUM Hello everyone, Here is the giant family tree the characters of Tolkien's Middle Earth legendarium. The tree starts with Eru and the Ainur before Time itself, and goes straight down from there to all the characters living at the...

Well. This has been around since 2017, and until moments ago I've been clueless. (Well... i'm always clueless, but this is especially so.) Is everyone else aware of this book, and it's just so bad I've never heard about it? (I do see it's in one or two folks' list of books in their library.)...
