The book of lost tales
(Preview)
I'm sorry about this everyone but I was wandering if anyone can tell me about 'The book of lost tales'. I haven't read it yet because it just seems to contain the same stories as the other books concerning the first age. Is there anything in the book that isn't mentioned in other Tolkien works?

The Ainur and Death
(Preview)
I recently read Unfinished Tales again and noticed this:
"There he was bound by the power of Morgoth; and Morgoth standing beside him cursed him again and set his power upon him, so that he could not move from that place, nor die, until Morgoth should release him."

Carn Dum
(Preview)
A thought recently occured to me... Is the fortress of Carn Dum actually the ruins of Utumno??? Sounds stupid I know but Angband and Thangorodrim lied many hundreds of miles West of Udun and they were buried in the sea. The Ruins of Utumno however were not buried and they lay in the Iron mountains which b...

The Battle of the Five Armies

This was always my favorite battle until the conflict at Pelennor Fields, and is still my second-favorite Tolkien-made battle. Does anyone else have any opinions about the Battle of the Five Armies?
