”Let me see that contract again.” “Why? You’ve read it more times than you’ve bathed in your lifetime,” a feminine voice replied. There was...

With that she set her son down onto the rug, rose and left the sitting room. Slippery, Rose, Farbarad and Videgavia all exchanged long glances before...

With Hanasian missing, Farbarad out of action and Rowdy dead, Videgavia swung into full action and assumed control of the Cardolan forces as well as...

Wulgof found the scene at the house a predictable uproar. The alarm that had been raised had been met with a full scale, martial response delivered...

The alarm had reached the house by now but Loch managed to keep things in hand around the house. As much as he wanted to break and set forth to help,...

The weeks passed and Hanavia settled as some of his teeth emerged. The wailing subsided and everyone got a great deal more sleep, particularly his...

A rare rainy evening after many fine days found the people hugging their ales in the Prancing Pony Inn. It was a summer shower but a breath of chill...

I went to the West Woods today (18th May 2013), near Marlborough UK, about half an hour's drive from my home. The bluebells are out. They will die...

without reading the first post and just the title... (and all such things are of course strictly opinions) My initial thought was & remains: ...

Bolg does sound like something unpleasant that you find growing on your foot. Azog, on the other hand, sounds more...orc-y? So I guess that makes...

I've never been to the Czech Republic; I should put it on my list. I am trying to see more of The British Isles, with a few trips overseas in...

I think this post is in slightly the wrong thread; as the only really brave Hobbit in "The Hobbit" was Bilbo himself. Having said that, the...

*SPOILER* Peter Jackson had a problem. The 'true' story has Gandalf entering Dol Guldur, realising that Sauron is rising again, finding Thrain dying...

Hello, Barley :*) I actually enjoyed the film. I still can't sit through LOTR without throwing a fit, but I actually sat through and found myself...

No, it's not a Children's film and that to me is essentially the problem. For me, the charm of the Hobbit was the fairy tale element of the story. If...

I wouldn't call it a children's film... more like an over the top, cgi driven hyper=active adventure for teens and 20 somethings who can't put an...

Well, not really true... This is what Christopher Tolkien with Guy Kay's assistance decided to write (create) for a published Silmarillion, but...

Reread 'The Council of Elrond' again... Gloin states: 'What of the Elven Rings?" I see elf-lords here..' Will they not speak? Great rings they...

These photos were taken on the Sunday, when I wasn't there http://twitrpix.com/user/healingmachine

"Nevsky!" Called out Hideoshi. But Nevsky remained unmoved, frozen as ice, without even the slightest flicker of an eye. "Nevsky!" No...

Indeed, the ring of Durin was given to that line by the Mírdain of Eregion who were the jewel smiths there. Celebrimbor being of Eregion, I assume...

Thanks! I think you are probably right and the Dwarves didn't know about the elven three. Though something to think about, as they had their own...

This has really sparked my interest. My immediate response is 'No! Have you ever seen an old orc?' but then, the people in charge of the orcs (ie...

I am no loremaster quite yet, but I have read the vast majority of Tolkien's work and I can say that I personally have never come across anything to...

The weather was typical English Spring sunshine and rain. Loads of people were dressed in medieval, mythical or middle-earth outfits, and the...

Originally, orcs were elves captured by Morgoth, whom he tortured until they became orcs, so I assume that the orcs bred amongst each other....

Ok, Starbrow made me interested in the Three after all. I have read the chapter (Council of Elrond) again and I just can't figure out if Glóin (and...

Well yes, but the three rings of the elves were quite a different matter. They weren't touched by Sauron, and Elrond and Galadriel used them to 'heal...
