STICKY: Translation of 'Gothmog' (Preview) I have seen many translations to the word 'Gothmog', ranging from it meaning 'Voice of Melkor' to 'Son of Melkor'. I have heard that 'Gothmog' translates to 'Kosomot' in Quenya, which in turn means 'Son of Melkor'. However The Might has often provided things suggesting otherwise. Some clearan...	mouth of sauron	28	6928	Nov 15, 2006 by Galin
Height of the Balrogs ( 1 2 ) (Preview) What was the average height of a Balrog in the First Age compared to the Balrog in the Third Age awoken by Durin?	Galadriel	54	14942	Oct 7, 2011 by Galin
Elu Thingol (Preview) There seems to be conflicting text about whether Thingol was an Elf or some kind of Maiar decended into arda later from the rest. What is he? firstborn or one of these strange spirits? How would a first king of beleriand be decided?	mouth of sauron	14	5518	Aug 29, 2011 by ArwenLegolas
End of an Age (Preview) Who decided when an age should end and a new one begin? I know that important events were why ages ended and new ones began but who would actually decide that?	Bauglir	37	6491	Aug 3, 2011 by James the Just
Sauron (Preview) I've never seen this question before so I thought I would pose it here. Why is Sauron called by this name throughout the LoTR and most references to him in the Silmarillion as well. The name is from Noldorin Quenya, which is banned by King Thingol in Beleriand in response to the Kinslaying. Sindari...	Celethil	23	7024	Jan 27, 2011 by Galin
3d map of Beleriand, begging stages (Preview) I have made this 3d map of Beleriand, which i know is still quite rough, but i think at least you can get a little bit of an idea from it of how things look from a 3 dimensional standpoint. I am currently working on getting some labels for the major places. Now my problem, how do i upload it? An...	Turgolfin	8	5712	Jul 1, 2007 by The Secret Fire
The relms of Beleriand (Preview) Why were they all built in the north. Obviously, it's so they can fight Morgoth, but Thingol says somewhere that they weren't allowed to build south of his relm. why? what secrets was he keeping down there?	jammi567	17	8374	Jan 4, 2007 by Galin
Beleriand area (Preview) One thing i do not understand is why The first peoples to arive in Beleriand would start making settlements there so close to Udun. Can anybody account for such an obscure and dangerous location?	Glorfindel	16	4771	Jan 3, 2007 by Turgolfin
Beleriand's extent (Preview) I was wondering how far Beleriand extended during the First Age. Did it go up to the Misty mountains or retain itself to the Ered Luinand westwards? I thought that when Aule buried the Dwarves they were buried asleep in what later becomes known as Dwarrowdelf asnd I thought this was in Beleriand.	mouth of sauron	3	3872	May 7, 2006 by Narguzir
