Her hands came together in front of her and formed a soft triangle. She exhaled. The room around her was open but small. She saw it clearly. Her left foot rested lightly on the inside of her right calf and she exhaled until her lungs were flat. She knew they were flat because she could feel them as w...

A call for help from all Tolkienites! Searching for rare LOTR image!
(Preview)

Phonology of Adunaic
(Preview)
I had no idea where to put this so here it is. My favorite part of linguistics in phonology (how the sounds of the language work.) Can someone post any info you have on Adunaic phonology?

Personal Favorites...Quotes and/or Characters from Tolkien Books, Poems, or Films

All, I have noticed from time to time that the Forums can get a little slow. With the state of our world I can understand that other things take a higher priority. And they should... We aren't Hobbits even if we would like to be... We aren't wizards who can wave our staffs and magic away our difficulties.....

Tolkien and Celtic lore

What kind of lore inspired Tolkien? This may just be a "what if" thing. But here goes. When writing about the underground dwellings of the Sindar namely Thingol and Thranduil. And the hidden city of Gondolin....could it be that Celtic lore on the Sidhe had any influence?
