The reason I used it was I wrote a novel back in the 1970's based on the tale told on the band Rush's 2nd album, By-Tor & The Snowdog. When I first got onto message boards (EZ board?) in '99, I used the name. I think I registered on Barrow Downs in its EZ board days but didn't particapate much. Anyway, it's still my email, and its still my user name here, Entmoot, and Minas Tirith. Snowdog has been banned from The One Ring.Com for 15 years now.

I suppose you'd like someone to ask what you *did*?

Hear, hear. You can't throw that out and not deliver.

"Son of the star-land" in Sindarin. It was the name of a role-playing character I briefly played on the LOTR Plaza many years ago. I remember the RPing with some embarrassment but the name stuck, though typically abbreviated to Eldo.

Two parts-the charioteer part is in reference to the wainriders and Rhun is of course a reference to Rhun.

My screen avatar is a depiction of a Rhunish soldier from Jackson's two towers-I always liked Jackson's interpretation of easterling forces-good if somewhat fancy looking armor, discipline, devotion to Sauron(you can hear them chanting), with halberds and poleaxes.

Out of all the unexplored areas of middle earth Rhun has always struck me as fascinating.

Edit: Already posted on this thread and forgot-well this is just a more detailed explanation.

At least you didn't contradict yourself...

There is always room for elaboration and afterthoughts.

If he ever does come out with it, it'd better be spectacular.

My name is rather obivious choice; it’s the same name as my old Edain mod account before i deleted it. Although originally I had plans on using a name in Black Speech to match my beautiful icon...

As you can tell by my icon, I’m more of an orc than hobbit, despite what my name implies
