Well, Hello! I somehow came across the downs whilst looking for a good place to talk about Tolkien and such things, and this seemed like the best place out there, so I promptly stole the name of a character I found interesting and registered! I've seen the movies, read the books, and also the Silmarillion. Somehow the interest died down, and my love for Tolkien's works lay dormant like a balrog under Cahadras. More recently, (to stretch my metaphor) some dwarves came and delved for mithril, so I scanned the internet...and thus came here. I look forward to taking part in the discussions here, and learning new knowledge of Arda.
