New Book - Children of Hurin (Preview) Has anyone else seen in the paper today that they are about to launch a new book about Hurin son of Turin very soon. It will be a very interesting read I am sure. -- Edited by The One at 14:10, 2007-03-26	Galadriel	30	3247	Jul 7, 2007 by ArwenLegolas
Help Finding Certain Version of HoME (Preview) Hey guys. I currently own deluxe (ie slip-cased) versions of The Silmarillion, The Hobbit, The LoTR (50th Anniversary Ed.) and now The Children of Hurin. I would like to add the History to my collection, but the early edditions that sold all three volumes together are all but gone all together from wh...	Specter1075	3	2056	Jul 1, 2007 by Erasmus Folly
The book of lost tales (Preview) I'm sorry about this everyone but I was wandering if anyone can tell me about 'The book of lost tales'. I haven't read it yet because it just seems to contain the same stories as the other books concerning the first age. Is there anything in the book that isn't mentioned in other Tolkien works? (sorry ag...	Iarwain Ben adar	12	2227	Jun 15, 2007 by Galin
The Ainur and Death (Preview) I recently read Unfinished Tales again and noticed this: "There he was bound by the power of Morgoth; and Morgoth standing beside him cursed him again and set his power upon him, so that he could not move from that place, nor die, until Morgoth should release him." It seems an odd power for...	Glorfindel	12	2036	Jun 2, 2007 by Bilbo Baggins

Carn Dum (Preview) A thought recently occured to me... Is the fortress of Carn Dum actually the ruins of Utumno??? Sounds stupid I know but Angband and Thangorodrim lied many hundreds of miles West of Udun and they were buried in the sea. The Ruins of Utumno however were not buried and they lay in the Iron mountains which b...	mouth of sauron	12	3532	Dec 30, 2006 by mouth of sauron
Spiders and Orcs (Preview) Here is the end of a quote from The Hobbit: "The spiders were the only things they (wood Elves) had no mercy upon" Now although these spiders were decendents of the great Ungoliant I was always led to beleive that Orcs/Goblins were the greatest enemy to the Elves and there most hated enemies. Howev...	mouth of sauron	15	1928	Oct 12, 2006 by Gothmog
How Men became corrupted (Preview) I was reading a bit through Morgoth's Ring last night and I have just found something which I considered to be of huge importance. What it is is a tale of how the first Men became corrupted by Melkor and therefore developed into the Easterling's and Men of the South. The Tale of Adanel Then Andreth bein...

Lost Swords (Preview) My memory is very faint on this, and I guess Im being lazy by asking rather than looking this up, but didnt the Goblin King from the Hobbit recognize Glamdring and Orcrist when he saw them?	Celethil	21	1749	Oct 8, 2006 by Gothmog
The Battle of the Five Armies (Preview) This was always my favorite battle until the conflict at Pelennor Fields, and is still my second-favorite Tolkien-made battle. Does anyone else have any opinions about the Battle of the Five Armies?	Lee	18	1914	Oct 8, 2006 by Gothmog

The History of Middle-Earth (Preview) For those of you who have read the History of Middle-Earth books, or parts of them, I was wondering what your favorite parts, stories, or sections of these were. Oh yes, and if you name a favorite part, please tell me why. If you have no idea why and you just liked it, tell me that...I may end up tying some of...	Ungoliant	10	1512	Sep 30, 2006 by Gothmog
