Silmaril Here It Is!

Magical words were painted in the sky with glue.

Gandalf the Thin became the leader of them all, or so they thought.

Hookbill took out his copy of The Downer, put it into a cettle, stired and poured the content on a passing dog, which took the following shape.



TheGreatElvenWarrior was horrified by Hookbill's utterly immoral deed and yelled not knowing who would hear her.

The Phantom and Alien look in as the wizards have their weight loss challenge, and it is made out that Radagast the obese has eatten the blue wizards.

Eönwë heard and immediately created an advertisment for pork thus conquering half the world.



Formendacil saw the ad and decided to fight evil by telling the truth to the local press.

Alatar and Pallando take Radagast the Corpulent's fitness program and try and burn away the colours to become the next white wizards.

Naz overheard Formendacil and got inspired to form an utterly useless band which took the following as its stage perfermance.

Silmaril Part 2

A Little Green attended a gig by mistake and not being able to comprehend the situation the next day, wrote in her diary what she thought she had seen.

An overweight Radagast sponsors a fitness program for wizards in a rather commercial reality TV show.


Beregond robbed Greenie's house next afternoon, but was hypnotised by the content of Greenie's diary that later, when he was arrested, the police saw how he had ruined Greenie's nice TV.



THE Ka, generally knowing everything, was the first to explain the situation right. Fortunately, nobody listened to her.

Unbeknownst to Bilbo, Gandalf's ultimate use of Thorin's company was for commercializing the famous 'dwarven girth' on the Dragon Food Network by displaying Bombur as a 307 kg virginia ham.

Nogrod had a completely unrelated vision and proclaimed himself the King of On.



Legate of Amon Lanc thought Nogrod was joking and took retelling the joke as his life's quest.

Gandalf had his secret reasons to organise the Quest to Erebor: Smaug had ordered Dwarves for meal in Gandalf's online food shop.

Thinlómien saw the potential harm in the joke and locked it behind two bars having not a clue of the consequences.

Silmaril Part 3

Like the careful reader might have guessed, Oddwen was behind it all (the bars too) and what a terror she created. Oh dear, oh dear...

Gandalf's foray into the grand world of M-eBay is far more successful than he had ever planned, and the business reasons for the "lucky 13" is made clear.

Aganzir had the good sense to join Oddwen's cause, for now, and bring the terror into visual form.



The cheery lad next door, being none other than Hookbill, took out his copy of The Downer and was amused to no end. His amusement made the sky split.

Despite his usual good nature, Gandalf thought things had gone too far when, returning from a weekend in Gondor, he found that his computer had held a birthday party without him. He grinned as he sent his complaints to the National Party Association; knowing that his childish blanket would comfort him until he got a reply.

TheGreatElvenWarrior had waited for this moment and as soon as the sky split, she left her note and flew away into a parallel world.



Eönwë mistook TGEW for a certain hairy gentleman and wrote a story about it. Later he was mistaken for Eonwe and awarded a Nobel Prize for literature.

In a strange, blurry parallel universe, Gandalf comforts himself with his childish towel during his 1st birthday, after coming off an aeroplane from Beige City, Gondor. Why the mysterious "EL" corporation are waiting for his reply to present to the "Complaints Office National Party Association" remains a mystery.

Formendacil had nothing to do, so he drew a picture of his cellar.

Silmaril Part 4

Naz tried to call his friends to let him out of the cellar, but nasty things occured.

In an alternate dimension, a high-class wizard enjoys his first cake of the season, whilst the disgruntled members of the Elven League come away from the NPA's complaint office, having thoroughly confusing it.


A Little Green ate shrimps when someone called her. While she was discussing grave matters, her shrimps decided to have their revenge and transformed into a painting.



Beregond escaped from jail and would have become a criminal mastermind if he had read newspapers and known that the mafia had now become the government. He become a national hero instead and saved the world with his wit.

The NPA Complaint Office confuse themselves as Pallando, resplendent in designer robe and oblivious to growing tension between Elrond and Celebrian, enjoys his cake.


THE Ka liked the new government no more than the preveous since the ban on her paintings hadn't been lifted. Not that it stopped her from painting.



Nogrod's land of On was sieged by painters armed with THE Ka's paintings. He sounded the ear phones of war.

In Dol Guldur "complaint office" Sauron dismisses Galadriel's and Elrond's complaints over his ring-policies as mere whining and enjoys the cake of power.

Legate thought of paiting the great battle of On but was slightly too metaphorical about it when he did what he had to.

Silmaril T'end

Thinlómien sat on a chair, opened BD and saw that she had recieved a new reputation. She commented on it on the Dreams thread in the following lines.

The Mouth of Sauron wasn't impressed by the Free Peoples' complaints against equipping all Middle-Earthians with a control Ring subjected to Sauron's Ring, especially as these complaints were brought forwards by ugly Elrond and Glorfindel in Arwen's nightgown.

Oddwen hacked into Lommy's account and deleted the preveous comment before anyone else saw it. Victorious she danced a silly dance and the dance began living a life of its own by the name Johan and looked sort of thin.



Aganzir wasn't amused and wanted to get things over, thus letting us know the famous final words.

Sauron has fallen in love so the lords of the free people have got the upper hand of the Mouth of Sauron.



I'm off.

An update

Just to inform you.

I got the sentence last night. I'll try to draw it today/tomorrow so that it moves forwards.

It's hardly a surprise the sentence is once again practically impossible to draw, but who cares...

Volo, would you update the list so everyone could see where we are advancing?
