STICKY: Beginning Sindarin Course (Preview) I like to thank our Eru for opening this Languages of Arda Forum for me. I also like to thank all of you who have shown an Interest in Learning Sindarin. I told The One, that learning a new language requires a Stick to it attitude. I believe you all possess this. So without further ado, here is the first less...

STICKY: Origins of Galadriel (Preview) I know that this may simple to some of you, but I know very little about the origins of Galadriel. All I know is, the following. She was the Lady of the Golden Wood who harboured the Fellowship during the War of the Ring. Wife of Lord Celeborne. She was of Noldor race and was the great...

STICKY: Ardalambion (Preview) Well, i found this page in my favourites, its about Tolkien's languages, i just thought if some people who are familiar with them (Tyrhael for example) could have a quick look at the Quenya guide and tell if it is worth going through... http://www.uib.no/people/hnohf/ thats the address to the m...

STICKY: Elvish names that sound like diseases. (Preview) To me, Angrod reminds of "angina". I do not have time to list more, but I encourage you to post, however.	Elvish Avantguardian	19	6048	May 9, 2007 by Tyrhael
Question on the 3 Elven rings. Sauron Celebrimbor rings magic (Preview) So, Sauron helped Celebrimbor with making the seven and the nine rings and put some of his power into them so he could control those who wore them. Does anyone know what source of "magic" Celebrimbor used to power the three for the elves? Elves have some limited powers but the three were powerful and th...	azaghal	0	2087	Nov 15, 2023 by azaghal
Galadriel (Preview) I've seen it posted in other threads about Galadriel seeking pardon from the Valar before returning to Valinor. I'm looking for something to substantiate that claim, as I understood that the Noldor were pardoned after the War of Wrath with the possible exception of Maglor. I thought that the No...

Was Legolas married? (Preview) As far as I remember, according to "Laws and Customs among the Eldar", elves were of age when they were 50 and usually got married soon after they were of age. Some of them got married much later (for instance, Luthien, Arwen...) and some didn't get married at all, but those were rather rare...	Isillune	11	21588	May 24, 2017 by John Wain

Dior Eluchil ( 1 2 ) (Preview) When Dior Eluchil, son of Beren and Luthien, was killed, did his spirit go to the Halls of Mandos? The same question goes for Elured and Elurin, his sons, and remember that their mother was 100% elf. These 3, after all, never got a "choice".	Bauglir	41	14920	Oct 30, 2013 by Belegorn
Why the Silmaril? (Preview) Maybe I have just forgotten, but a question just struck me while posting in another thread. In the midst of war against Morgoth, Thingol demands a Silmaril from Beren. This seems extraordinarily odd on the part of Thingol. If he wanted an impossible task completed, why not simply demand that Ber...	Celethil	32	6498	Aug 29, 2013 by Lorelline
Interracial marriages (Preview) I only just realized that not one of the times where an elf married/loved a human was the elf a male and the human a female. Can anyone think of a time when this happened?	Laurelin	5	4047	Aug 8, 2013 by Lorelline
The Fate of Maglor (Preview) I am wondering is anyone knows what became of Maglor, son of Feanor? It says in the Silmarillion that he disposed of the Silmaril in the Great Sea and ever after kept playing music on the western Shores of Middle-earth. However I doubt very much he was still there in the Third Age. What happened to him? -...	Glorfindel	19	7864	Jul 16, 2013 by Lorelline
Evil Elves (Preview) I was recently reading in Morgoth's Ring about the fate of Elves. it said that if the Elves had been corrupted by the Shadow in there life may refuse the summons of Mandos and choose to stay without a body and not interact with Arda may heed the summons of Morgoth and turn into Dark Elves. I am just wond...	Bilbo Baggins	14	7775	Jun 7, 2013 by ArwenLegolas
Arwen and Aragorn (Preview) Where did Arwen and Aragorn dwell after the Elves sailed off to Valinor?	Galadriel	28	5614	Mar 12, 2013 by Ar-Phadagutphul the Fed Up
Why would a half-elf choose to live as an elf? (Preview) From what we are told, the Gift of Men releases men from the woes of this world and frees them to visit Illuvatar's glory in the next. They will take part in the singing-in of the next world. Elves, on the other hand, are bound to Arda until the world ends. The get to: Hang out in Valinor, hang out in th...	steelcutoats	7	4454	Feb 8, 2012 by steelcutoats
A question on Legolas' people (Preview) Hope I've put this in the proper place. I have not read the trilogy, however, I have seen the films. Can anyone answer a question? Im confused over the abode of the people of Legolas. Elronds folk live in this wonderful area of forest. Then theres Galadriels people living in Lorien - which is just ama...

Feanor killing his mother? (Preview) A quoted I don't understand: "Such was his strength of spirit that his mother Míriel passed on to the Halls of Awaiting after his birth." Why did Miriel leave after Feanor was born. When she delivered Feanor did the process kill her body? I am confused about this passage.	vestalmiss	8	4961	Jul 12, 2010 by Isillune
Basic Elf ( 1 2 ) (Preview) Basic Elf: Tolkien has created divisions in the peoples of the First Born, the Eldar. I have become confused by these divisions of the various different Elven groups. I know some are connected to the Valarsome going and some staying as in the story of Feanor. And I know that some are never connected...	Bear	40	8749	Oct 8, 2009 by Bear
The Fall Of Gil-Galad (Preview) I know that there are people here that know many thing Tolkien wrote but does anyone know in the full The Full Of Gil-Galad? Sam mentions it once in Fellowship and Aragorn doesnt let him finish it because their being pursued. I would really like to know the tale in full. Thanks	earendilthegreat	5	3927	Apr 27, 2008 by The Might
Pengoloo and Aelfwine (Preview) Can someone tell me who exactly these characters are? Pengoloo I heard was a sage in Gondolin but nothing more I can find. As for Aelfwine I have no dear who he is but these two people seem to be a focal point for advanced lore, particularly in the History of Middl-earth volumes.	Glorfindel	21	12425	Mar 24, 2008 by ArwenLegolas
How old? (Preview) Just how old was Galadriel? You guys are very good at digging up obscure facts and I am horrible and remembering sources. Maybe I will remember when I get the answer this time.	Celethil	16	5136	Apr 9, 2007 by ArwenLegolas
Elves Immortality (Preview) Were Elves truly Immortal? I have a quote here that may suggest otherwise... "For the Elves die not till tile world dies, unless they are slain or waste in grief (and to both these seeming deaths they are subject); neither does age subdue their strength, unless one grow weary of ten thousand centuri...	Glorfindel	24	12435	Nov 19, 2006 by Celethil
Glamdring (Preview) This is actually regarding Glamdring, Orcrist, and Sting. Does anyone know just how Turgon's sword ended up in Middle-Earth? And is there any mention of who owned Orcrist or Sting? Were all three weapons from Gondolin? These are just some questions that I never heard a proper answer for.	Celethil	14	5168	Oct 2, 2006 by mouth of sauron
How old? (Preview) How old was Legolas? I beleive his father, Thranduil, dates back to the first age even, but what about Legolas?	Glorfindel	15	4933	May 31, 2006 by The Might
A question about Glorfindel (Preview) Is the Glorfindel from the First age the same one as in the First age? I heard he and his people escaped to eagles cleft and encountered orcs and a Balrog. Glorfindel engaged in combat with the Balrog to allow the others to escape. There he perished after falling into the abyss with the Balrog. &...
