Welcome, Elladan and Famov!

Famov - if you like RPGing, do try it if you wish, because you don't need to be good at doing it, I assure you.

Hello all,

It's been a while since I've posted on a message board, but I bumped into this board one day and thought it looked pretty interesting. Tolkien's been my favorite author since I first read him in grade school, and he even got me interested in linguistics. I haven't read all of his works (yet), though I hope I can add to the discussions.

And did someone write about RPing? Awesome!

Take care all,
Noah

This forum is marvelous! I have been to many forums but, although forums are usually fun, a lot of them are just for Tolkien amateurs (Arwen-Undomiel.com)... and most people in them are a bit ignorant about his works... and are difficult to converse with about them, because they refuse to read the books... and they refuse to discuss properly. But I see that most people here either have read most of the books before, or they try to understand more about them. *nods at the above post*

So anyway, I hope I will meet a few of you and I hope that I will enjoy this place (I love to RP, btw)!

Welcome to The Barrow Downs, jeffcare.

Dwarfo Elf relations have been on a knife edge for a long time. I think what finally broke them off from one another was an incident in The Silmarillion, a sort of ancient History of Middle Earth, involving an argument over some very precious jewels. You will receive a more detailed answer from our learned folks over in the book forum if you search for a thread about it.
