Hello, I am livid that the black axe of Gothmog was not voted the mightiest weapon in all of Tolkiendom. It's always the elves that have the last say in the history books. What do you think did for Feanor? Consumed by the fire of his spirit, indeed. No body, so convenient. I fed him to my balrogs, and my dog S...

Greetings Fellow Fans and Scholars

Hello all, I read the Lord of the Rings trilogy for the first time when I was 11, in 5th grade. I read the Silmarillion the following year, and after completing that I spent much time in other Arda-related books and maps. I learned as much as I could, but I soon found myself without anyone with which to hav...

I couldn't decide if I'm a beginner or a more experienced LOTR-nerd, so - however - I try not to exaggerate and go to the starters. As most of you, I read the books as a teen, was astonished by the movie trilogy and thought "Meh" as I watched the "Hobbit". So I hope to have a great time h...

Hello everyone, I have never been a member of any forum before, so in that sense I am a beginner. Strictly speaking I am not totally new to Tolkien's works (have read quite a bit), but it always feels like new. It has been a long and circuitous way to even get to know about these books... nothing like "...

I come seeking Tolkien enlightenment...mental meanderings, and outright speculations on characters and their actions, outside of what is written... What if's, but then's...and of course the "but did you ever consider"...all that wrought that wasn't.

A good morning to you all. I'll leave it to you to interpret my meaning. I've been a fan since I read the LOTR in 4th grade, shortly followed by the Hobbit and the Silmarillion in 5th grade.
