			Hello, everyone! I see I was quite mistaken in thinking that none would be here. I am very glad to meet you all!

				Hello
			 
			
			
			Hello Everyone! 
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
	I am Mae (which I realize is one of the most boring non Tolkien names on here) I am not the most knowlegable person in silmarillion things and stuff but I love The Hobbit and LOTR books and I'm looking forward to learning more! This is actually the first time I have posted on any forum ever so I have no idea what I'm doing but I'm excited to be here!  |

			Hello Mae, and welcome to the Downs! Mae is a lovely name, and nothing boring about it.  
		
		
		
		
		
		
			  There's lots to be said about LOTR and The Hobbit. See if a thread strikes your fancy, and leave a post. Or make one of your own if you don't see an existing topic. Enjoy romping around the Downs!

			Welcome Mae! I have only just recently joined myself, so we can be "new" together  
		
		
		
		
		
		
			 . Forums are easy, so don't worry about that. Also, you should definitely read The Silmarillion
