“And thou, Melkor, shalt see that no theme may be played that hath not its uttermost source in me, nor can any alter the music in my despite. For he that attempteth this shall prove but mine instrument in the devising of things more wonderful, which he himself hath not imagined.” ~ The Silmarillion

Topic		Started By	Replies	Views	Rating
	The most powerful dragon ( 1 2 )   (Preview) I just thought this would be an interesting topic. I alwas considered that the top four were; Ancalagon the black, Glaurung father of dragons, Scatha the worm, and Smoug the golden ( not in that order).	Gothmog	48	5427
	Weaknesses   (Preview) Does Lord Elrond Have Weaknesses, if so can you give me an idea what they might be.	ArwenLegolas	20	2315
	Orc/goblin races question   (Preview) Something I've always had difficulty with was telling the difference between goblins and Orcs. The texts seem to indicate that goblins and orcs are the same thing, but I'm not so sure. They are described in such a way in the Hobbit that seems to suggest they are not Orcs, or at least smaller and built dif...	The Secret Fire	7	1989
	Most beautiful place in arda   (Preview) which place in arda do you find most beautiful? for me it is,in this order: Valinor, Gondolin, Neldoreth, Esgaroth,Rivendell, Lothlorien, Moria(in the days of its glory) and Rohan	Aredhel	15	1771
	Third Age Isle's   (Preview) How many islands were there around northwestern middle-earth in the Third Age? I have looked in various HOME books and see islands called 'Himling' and 'Tol Fuin' and 'Tol Morwen' and stuff but don't see them mentioned in LOTR or the Hobbit or anything.	Glorfindel	9	2077
	Places and ages of Midle-earth.   (Preview) I heard someone post that we are now in the seventh age of Tolkiens world. If so when did the other ages start and end. Also, Were in middle-earth is everything? I know the Shire was like England. and Hobiten Londin. That Valinor was north and south America. But what was antartica? And, was Africa supo...	Gothmog	12	1421
	What about Mithrellas ?   (Preview) Ok, so firstly to make sure you all see where I'm coming from with this thread title, I'm going to make a short summary about the story of Mithrellas. She was a Silvan Elf, who accompanied Nimrodel (an Elf of Lorien, loved by Amroth) during her journey to the southern havens. Now it is said that durin...	The Might	14	5798
	The One Ring   (Preview) Maybe I am just forgetting something very basic, but I have to ask. If the Elves put on their rings after the defeat of Sauron at the Last Alliance, why weren't Gollum, Bilbo, or Frodo aware of the other ringbearers when they donned the One Ring? Shouldnt they have been able to determine that Galadr...	Celethil	7	1353
	Poor Smeagol   (Preview) Once found, The One starts working on Smeagol until will finally consume him. Gollum lies somewhere on the realm of humanity, even tough his appearance shows everything, deep in his heart there is a struggle. And still, I never could understand why this odd changing!!Do you consider him...	Rumil	8	1847
	Hmmm...Interesting   (Preview) I found a very interesting map in my opinion. THE MAP As you can see this is a map of Europe (which in Tolkien's view was Middle-earth a long time ago) The map probably shows Europe quite some time ago, maybe 10000 ye...	The Might	29	1626
	Strange Relationships   (Preview) At first I was intrigued by the relationship between Legolas, and Gimli and the friendship that sprung between them. But I'd have to say that the love Gimli hs for Galadriel is probably the most touching aspects of this sort in the book. The way Gimli asks for a strand of her hair was for me, very touching...	Anduril	14	1209
	The third age   (Preview) I know quite a bit about the first two ages but not so much about the third age. I was wondering if anybody would be good enough to give me a brief outline of what happens in it, particularly the beginning half, with Angmar and Arnor and all that.	Galadriel	18	1651
	If faramir had survived... (no im not going mad)   (Preview) When faramir tried to regain control of Osgiliath and was wounded by an arrow, he was saved by the Dol Amroth, who took him back to Minas Tirith. Yada Yada Yada i'm sure you all know what happens next.... But my question is as Denethor presumed that Faramir was dead, so he set arrangements for he and h...	Great tomato	9	1520
	What was Saruman's Ring?   (Preview) I ask this because Gandalf tells the Council of Elrond that at his last visit to Saruman he saw him “wear a ring on his finger. ...‘I am Saruman the Wise, Saruman Ring maker.’” [LotR p.275-276]  But this is never followed up, and we don’t see any evidence that Saruman had any en...	Bauglir	9	3509
	Mouth of Sauron   (Preview) ...What race was he? An elf? As a human Sauron would've had to change his Mouth every 60 years or so, since even the Valar cant tke away the Gift of Eru, that is mortality for men...	Olorin of Nienna	3	1441
	Morgoth vs Sauron & absolute evil ( 1 2 3 4 )   (Preview) I said back along that I was going to create this thread so now I am. Please only reply with good quality answers as hopefully this threasd will make the advanced lore forum. You may bring other groups/individuals into consideration but on the whole please stick to Morgoth vs Sauon and Absolute Evil...	mouth of sauron	123	1408
