hey. Im Isowen (which is my name in elvish) and I've been on this site for ages but I've just joined the whole forum thingy. It looks like lotsa fun! I love everything to do with lotr, but particularly elves, as I think they're so interesting and magical and I think Galadriel is the most interesting elf i've ever heard of!

![]() Welcome everyone. If your question still wasn't asked satisfactorily, Nuindacilien, ask one of the mods, like Estelyn Telcontar. It probably was, because Immy usually knows what she's doing, but just in case. Or you could try downloading the jpg to the net. I use www.villagephotos.com, but that's because I don't know anywhere better. Cheers, ~ Elentari II

Welcome Marien, or Jesse, whichever you prefer. I'm sure you'll find your way around soon and feel like an oldie in no time! We're all pretty friendly, and if you're unsure about something feel free to PM me. I can't promise I'll be much help, but you can PM me all the same.
I'm actually fairly up-to-date atm, so I can call newcomers by their first names. Because I think this is a recurring issue, if one wishes to reply to a PM click on the 'quote' button down at the bottom. Cheers, ~ Elentari II

Greetings fellow Tolkien fans, I have been looking around the Barrow Downs now for some weeks and finally decided to join.
I have been reading Tolkien’s works for around 20 years now and in that time I have built up a nice collection of books based on Middle Earth. I have an extensive library starting with my favourites the Sil, hobbit, LOTR, HoMe; I also have many books written by other authors on Tolkien works. I hope that over time I can share my love of Tolkien with you all. |

Hi, Namo Mandos! Welcome to the Downs. With a name and avatar like that, you fit in perfectly.
I'm also a long time book collector. The stuff sure piles up over the years! Come down and introduce yourself in character at the Green Dragon Inn in the Shire. We'd love to see you. ~Child

Thanks child of the 7th age, the avatar is actually an illusion; can you see the other image? you can see the large image here do you see a couple or a skull? Have a look at the large version of the picture the link is above. Last edited by Namo Mandos; 08-16-2004 at 09:39 PM. |

I've been hooked on Tolkein since I was 8 and I'm proud to say that I still am. Books,epics and Honors classes are what I'm in to.

I'm not really a new member, but I'm coming back (or trying to)! I have school and homework and all that stuff. I was the first student of the week in the school year 04-05. I'm so excited. Well, forgive me for my ignorance for I am from Tennessee and have only seen the hills.
![]() Goodby y'all! P.S. I highly recommend going to the Festival of Cultures in Cleveland, TN ( sorry, not Ohio) on Saturday, Semptember 18, 2004. P.P.S. Please remember all of the people who died 3 years ago on 9-11 and our troops in Iraq. May God be with you.

Greetings all.
I came across this site a while ago, but sort of forgot to register. ![]() I've only been into Tolkien for about two years but the depth of the mans imagination and writing style amazes me. Other interests include vintage scooters, music of most varieties, the seas and oceans - marine life etc, British comedy and possibly some other things that escape me at the moment. I look forward to my stay here. ![]() |

Good day. I am unfamiliar with most of the Lord of the Rings books, however I have them all, I just don't have the time. I have seen all the movies, but as of yet, have not been able to afford the third episode. I hope to learn more about the background of The Lord of the Rings by reading this forum. I am new at role playing on forums as well. But I hope that I will be accepted nonetheless. ~Thank you. |

Welcome, also, to Oceanic, and anyone else I may have missed. Cheers! Elrond's (other) daughter

Welcome to the BD, Chaos. I never really cared much for Role Playing until I saw this site, the RP forums are just great.
Also, there is a movies forum for those who haven't read the books yet. I encourage that you do whenever you have the time ![]() |

Hello, everybody!
Hi, my name is Thinlómien (that's not, of course, my real name...). I´m a 14-year old (well, nearly 15) girl from Finland.
So if I write something strange, it may be because I'm not a native english-speaker... ![]() I've been a LotR -fan since my father read it aloud to me and my little sister, when I was six years old. (I remember getting angry to my father, because he didn't read the chapter "The Voice of Saruman" to the end, but said "we´ll continue it tomorrow". I refused to go to my bed and declared, that I would read it myself, if my father didn´t read it aloud. My parents gave up and my father read it. So LotR was quite impressive to me, even then.) By now I've read LotR 15 times, because I just love it. I've read all Tolkien's books concerning Arda, what have been translated into finnish (LotR, The Hobbit, The Silmarillion and The Unfinished Tales). I've also seen the movies. I have a hate-love -relationship with them. I like them very much, but in the other hand, I think they rape the book. Maybe it's the book behind them, what makes them so good. And I appreciate Peter Jackson; I can believe that the movies could have been much more horrible. I'm a member of Finnish Tolkien Society and I play M.E.R.P. with my friends. I'm usually the GM and if the movies rape Middle-Earth, there's no word to what I do to it... I live with my mom, liitle sister and tortoise in Helsinki, the capital city of Finland. My hobbies are reading (mostly fantasy books), roleplaying, drawing, art club and playing kantele, the Finnish national instrument. I'm in a international school, in a half-english class. And to the end I would like to tell that my favorite characters from LotR are Galadriel, Gandalf and Boromir. |

Welcome to the 'Downs, Thinlómien! Your English sounds fine to me. It sounds better, actually, than some of the English I've been unfortunate enough to hear from native English-speakers. It's rather sad, really.

Hello lucyannalulu.
If you haven't, you might want to check out the HoME books. There are some interesting, longish songs/poems otherwise not in print, including Beren and Luthien.
