Re: Trilogy and Bible?

That would have been me, but it was the region of Dale and the battle there with Dain and Brand as the representation of the German incursion into russia (Germany = Dol Goldur).

In reminder...

LETTERS #45
<blockquote>Quote:<hr> J.R.R. Tolkien
{concerning Germany and Hitler}
&quot;Who are- under the curse of God- now led by a man inspired by a mad,
whirlwind, devil: a typhoon, a passion: that makes the poor old Kaiser
look like an old woman knitting... Anyway, I have in this War a
burning private grudge.&quot;

LETTERS #208
&quot;As for 'message': I have none really, if by that is meant the
conscious purpose in writing THE LORD OF THE RINGS... I was primarily
writing an exciting story in an atmosphere and background such as I
find personally attractive. But in such a process inevititably one's
own taste, ideas, and beliefs get taken up.&quot;

It undeniably revealed itself when I created the map I posted here earlier.

Apply this however you wish to the original query.
