Finrod Felagund has just left Hobbiton.
Greetings! I am (as you can see) Finrod Felagund. I discovered Barrow-Downs because of my sister, Lindale, keeps posting in here while I am watching her to annoy her.

I have already read The Hobbit and The Silmarillion and I am still reading The Unfinished Tales. I chose the name Finrod Felagund because I love the part where Finrod and Sauron fought by exchanging songs of power.

So, hello everybody! Live long and prosper!

Welcome again, Finrod! And yeah, that Gaurhothvision Song Contest between your namesake and Sauron (taken from the Lay of Leithian) is one of my favourite parts in the Silmarillion, too.
May the Great Bird of the Galaxy bless your planet!

I can't believe that of all the names I suggested years ago for you, you'd pick now to join, and Finrod as a name! Anyway, welcome to the Downs my little brother. I never thought you'd get to understand my Tolkien obsession, but now you share it with us..

I chose "Finrod" because of the joke I made for you. Felagund. Man-lover? Haha. But still, Finrod can't rest in the Barrowdowns because he's not even a mortal much less a royalty (of Numenorean descent). Anyways, let the sharing begin!

Thank you, Nerwen. It is usually a greeting to fellow Trekkie, but anyways, Live long and prosper!

Greetings, everyone. I'm Matthieu Bronsky, a 25-years-old college student from Germany and a huge nerd about everything Tolkien-related.

I discovered the Downs fairly recently, and since I'm mainly interested in discussing the more obscure subjects concerning Middle-Earth, I immediately fell in love with this forum. After I had browsed the Archives thoroughly, I deemed best to register. Well, and here I am.

Wow, another fellow German? And sporting an Allen Ginsberg signature? That's an interesting range of literary tastes!
So welcome to the Downs, The Great Bronsky! I trust your appetite for obscure M-E discussions will be satisfied here, and look forward to seeing you posting. (Out of curiosity, where between the Alps and the sea is your barrow? Mine's in the Hunsrück.)

Thanks for your welcoming words!

Well, in my opinion Ginsberg and Tolkien have more in common than one might think (in their message - obviously not in their writing style); hence this specific quotation in my signature.

Gelsenkirchen, Ruhr. Not quite like the Shire - at least not like the Shire after the Scouring.

Yay! I have a new brother too!

Ok, so here are the rules. I am an only child, and hence am not accustomed to sharing my things, especially my books or my laptop (and definitely not my mom) *growls*

Haha. Welcome to the Downs, sibling!
