The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum - View Single Post - What about Middle-Earth/Valinor most inspires you?

What always inspired me was the heroism. Here you have a great king (Aragorn) who is completely willing to give up his life for an insignificant little hobbit. And the rest of the Fellowship, while apparently leading good, rather high-ranking lives back home, are willing to go to Mordor (which would be like REALLY going to Hell) because they care so much about the world.

When does that happen these days? Ummm, never?

And if I were going to live somewhere, I would pick Rivendell at the height of its glory.
