I agree with you Willie! Excellent thoughts you have there! [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] In a show about the making of LOTR or something like that PJ was talking and said that ME was based on an England that existed at some period of time in history. And it definetly is Medieval based. With stone fortresses, armour, swords, kings, a lot of turmoil, but simplicity also. I have read a lot of Arthurian legend so I can tell you, it definetly has Medieval roots. But I suck at geography so I can't help you in figuring out what country/continent corresponds with what place in Middle Earth. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] That probably didn't help you any but, that's sorta my opinion.
