Mae govannen. My name is Eledhdil, or Ledh if you prefer something shorter.
I'm an insatiable bookworm, an archer, into historical re-enactment, and in my final term of a BA in archaeology and mediaeval history.

I've been reading Tolkien pretty much continuously since I was about 8 or 9 when I first read The Hobbit. I read LotR when I was about eleven, and The Silmarillion and UT a few years later. Since then I've become reasonably good at translating Quenya and Sindarin both into and from English, been a member of various Tolkien discussion forums and RP boards since late 2004 and written my third year dissertation on Tolkien and dragons.

I was introduced to this site by Earwen Arcamenel, who I met randomly in a bookshop. I'm not sure how active I'll be on this site, as this isn't my main Tolkien home on the net and my diss has put me slightly off Tolkien for a while, but I look forward to seeing you all in the forums.
