The thing I love most about the Barrowdowns is that I can be among LotR fanatics that are just as obsessed as me. Everywhere else, whenever I try to discuss anything Tolkein, people think I am crazy.

I knew Morgoth was low, but when I read the part about his thoughts and plans for Luthien, I nearly became sick. I think the modern equivalent to Morgoth would be a person who would commit that act...

I would have to say it's a tie between Maedhros and Beleg. I always liked Maedhros because he was the only one of Feanor's kids who didn't have one or more screws loose. And Beleg, well, the guy...

I put together an Elf-lady costume for RotK, as well as for an after-party. It's a long, green satin dress, chiffon sleeves, and a cord belt. I got a circlet online, an elvish necklace, and, yes, I...

Sting Did Miriel see what was coming?

Ok, I've been mulling over this for awhile, when Miriel died, did she see what was coming with Feanor?
It almost sounds like she knew Feanor would do something bad (understatement of the...

I sympathize with you, Nilpaurion. My Honors Chemistry teacher last year was like that. He was rotund, balding, and oh baby did he have the stupid part down. Messed up my grade more times than I...

I am a big time loner. My parents never read LotR, and I'm pretty sure I'm the only one in my school who has read the Silm. Pretty sad, I know. At least I have the 'Downs!

Just wondering, is there anything wrong with the Sindarin grammar in the Ruth Noel book? That is what I am studying now.

I don't think he knew what the palantir was. He was mad, saw a big rock like object laying around, and threw it. At least for me, it's a basic reaction...I get angry, I see a large, rocklike object...

Honestly, I have no idea. I think someone may have mentioned the name in class, and the way they said it sounded like Morgoth. That's the only thing I can think of.

I've sometimes wondered about Maeglin's love for Idril myself. I really think it was more infatuation than anything else. For one thing, she was beautiful, and second, she was the first female elf...
