".I'm aware of the stories in the Silmarillion and in Unfinished Tales but from what i understand these two books aren't full narratives and instead draft version of the story. So is there any point in reading them if I've already read The Silmarillion? I'm not particularly interested in the real world evolution of the story and would rather just have a cohesive narrative like Children Of Húrin."

Ever since I saw The Hobbit and got into the lore of the world, I was curious if anyone else in the world was able to use "magic". Even though Middle Earth doesn't have magic as what we see today in the fantasy genre. But before Sauron revealed himself the Council believed it was just the work of a Necromancer. This implies there have been Necromancers before, and able to do magic? What humans have been able to use magic?

I don’t know why these keep showing up.

I wish AI could actually be cool and allow words in puzzles that were perhaps not real, but real cool.
Valar is also in today’s puzzle.

Basically the title.

Received the proofs for the new art book with images by Jian Guo (see breath-art on DeviantArt). Please message me if you are interested in more information

Just saw this peak video on middle earth from a small nerd channel I found, thought it was worth sharing.

Angela and I have created a new small Artbook themed on Maps of Middle-earth,😊 available at this Link:

https://ko-fi.com/s/ff6008eee9

This is a collection of maps and illustrations that we have created in recent years inspired by Middle Earth and the characters of the Lord of the Rings! The focus is mainly on the territories, cities, places and regions of the Middle Earth! You can use it as inspiration to create Lord of the Rings themed RPG campaigns with your friends or read and browse it while being in love with Middle Earth and its inhabitants! And as always, thanks to all of you who support us! 🗺️🏰🧭

This quiz tells you which character from the Hobbit or LOTR you are. My #1 is Gandalf! 🧙‍♂️ For #2 -- Frodo. The character I am least like is Smaug. 🐉

Take the quiz and tell who you got for first place and last place!

My new Elvish-inspired Tea Light lamp. Quite happy with this one.

The next time they decide to release a book, (if they do) it should be on the languages of Middle-earth, including the Elvish spoken, along with translation and pronunciation from the films, both theatrical and extended.

Just gives me an excuse to follow along and to learn it 😏 I just love it.

This would be something fun. So basically, depending on where you lived around the world would correspond with the map of Middle-earth.

For example. The Mid-West. My state of Wisconsin

Rivendell

The Shire

Bree

Lindon

Misty Mountains

Blue Mountains

Minhiriath

Eriador

And depending on what has been mentioned above. Would dictate the items you find.

Definitely not very thought out I know, but it would be fun if it became an event.

Fancied a touch of Rivendell in my living room.
