Hitchhiker's Guide to Middlearth - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Gasp! I love HHGTTG.

Minas Tirith Home of the most powerful Men on Middlearth, the Gondorians. Ruled by many people, the most famous of which is Aragorn "Elessar" "Wingfoot" "Strider" "Longshanks" of the Dunedain, heir of Isildur. Location of the famous "flying flame leap" of Denethor. If you climb up to the Halls of the Kings, you can see into Mordor, and there's a real nice view of the smoking ruins of Osgiliath. Bring a camera and be careful to watch out for flying Nazgul.

surely editing would have reduced the Shire entry to "Harmless"? Revised to "mostly harmless" in the 4th Age edition....

Sauron: A cruel and heartless individual who is to be avoided at all costs. We warn you: even your towel will be small protection from the ghastly terrain of his home in Mordor. It's unlikely that you will ever be invited to tea, but in the event that you are unlucky enough to receive such an invitation, two things must be kept in mind. The first: do not accept any gifts from him. And the second: do not allow yourself to listen to any of his poetry! It is quite possibly the worst poetry in Middle Earth, second only to one.* Both gifts and poetry may result in enslavement and his permanent posession of your mind.

*See Tom Bombadil.

Ah, this is too amusing.

Ooh, good books! Its been a long time though.

Rings of Power: Wonderful trinkets that can be sought out at Rivendell, Lothlorien, Barad Dur, and anywhere you see a Grey Wizard. They give the ability to be invisible, and can give increased power in building, combat, mining, or magic. Warning: Side effects may include: Slow transformation into a wraith, obsessiveness towards ring, intensity of emotions, and having your mind taken over by a Dark Lord.
