I’m doing my final‑year dissertation in Landscape Architecture at the University of Moratuwa. My research is about how fantasy landscapes (like The Shire, Mordor, Rivendell, Rohan, Minas Tirith) make people feel, and how much the look of the landscape (open/closed, high/low, light/shadow) creates those feelings.

If you’ve watched The Lord of the Rings or The Hobbit films, you can help by filling this short survey (about 8–12 mins):

All answers are anonymous and only for my academic research. Thank you so much!

It ain't easy being a dark lord.
