It is a bit random. It is Quenya. Ninde means slender, losse is fallen snow and helin is a violet (flower).

Yeylo all, doing things a tad backwards posting elsewhere before here, but a little jumble never hurt anyone I like to think!
Anyway Draugohtar is an old name I cobbled together for WoW of all things. Thankfully that game is in my past now (though not MMO's entirely!) but the name is a constant for me. (Otherwise call me Will - if you remember, well done you!) Anyway I'm an old time Tolkien nut, and it's nice to have a place to come and lament the lack of speaking Eagles in the PJ-versions :P |

Kindred Spirits!
Hello there! I have been aware of this fine establishment for quite a few years already, but never had the courage to muster to registering and interacting with you fine fellows.
Hi, I'm Phil. Stupid username (which I invented over a decade ago for an Arcade Game) aside, I am very surprised to find admirers of Tolkien's work that are actually using their heads when observing the upcoming "Hobbit Trilogy Prequel Films". As I have a rather odd history with the film adaptation (though I am not an insider), and like to consider myself a filmmaker, I would be honored to keep in touch with all of your opinions (though I can't promise to be too vocal) as these weird (in my opinion) movies emerge. Usually I'm ganged up on by people who would more likely explode in brainless ecstasy rather than rationally analyze the positives and negatives, so I find this a breath of fresh air to see so many with just as much of an intelligent scrutiny of these new films as I claim I have. Good on ya'! Hope to share some Tolkien-centric thoughts and random artwork I sometimes do on this forum in the future! You guys seem like well-spoken folk. Well met! |

Well, Inziladun (what a hard name to spell :P), I'm honored to be the first then! Thank you! How active is are the boards here? Also, does the majority of people here prefer the books and doesn't like the movies ? I thought so at a quick glance at some forums but I want to be sure. And please, if someone's curious about me, just ask anything

I would say that generally speaking we here are fairly critical of the movies, but there are also many who quite enjoy them. I fall into the former category, but feel free to express your own opinion however you like.

Hi I'm Jess as you can see by my name, ya I'm new, I just joined yesterday. I'm thirteen and in eight grade. I started to read the books right when school started and ended a couple of weeks ago (ya I'm knida a slow reader and I never have time). I started to read the books after I saw the movies because I thought they were really good and I thought the books would probably be better. I do have a couple questions so if anyone knows where I can ask them please tell me. Thanks!

Hey Jess,
About your questions, depends on what kind of questions they are. If you're confused about Tolkien's writings, check out the books forum, if it's on the movies...check out the movies forum. If you're questions are very specific, you could try the search option, or I'd be happy to answer any I could, and if not me, I'd probably know where abouts to find the thread that concerns them. -Stay Puft.

Hi Ainaserkewen,
Um a lot of my questions are on the creation of Middle-Earth, the Valar, Valinor, and the history of Middle-Earth and the inhabitant. I don't want to sound like a loser asking though, you know becuae I feel kinda weird not knowing a lot about this stuff and seeing people talk in depth about stuff I have no clue on.Thanks for replying! ~*Jessica*~ [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Another newcomer coming your way! I became a fan when I heard of the first movie. My christmas wish was the book, and that did it. I have searched the libraries for all the books I could find, because this was really interesting. It seems that I can gain some knowledge here by reading posts too. A great web page!

Happy deathday! I hope you'll have fun here, and that you'll learn a lot. The Books forum can be rather educating, but if you feel you're in over your head there, you can drop by the Mirth forum and have a good laugh. Let me warn you though, some of the jokes can be rather... how do I put this... hormonal. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Hey...I'm a lonely freshman guy with a huge love for LOTR. It began when I was 7years old and my Dad read me the books. Now...aside from collecting LOTR stuff...i spend my time playing violin...trying to learn bass guitar...acting...fencing i did for a while...and basically doing anything to protect myself from the boredom of life. Well peace out y'all. And ladies........don't fight over me too much. J/K. See y'all 'round.

Hi welcome. I think that this is only gonna be a weekly greeting to all the newly deads.
Melkor89 Have fun here. Don't be afraid of the Mods and Pm any one if you feel the need. Freshmen in what? Also, fencing sounds fun. Thorongil , welcome. Congrats on reading the books. That is a great feat, not kidding. It took me a while, but I tend to read other books at the same time too so that may be it. Enjoy the deadness here.

'Ello all! I'm Arcuwen (Royal Bow Maiden in Elvish), an avid reader and writer who is, of course, obsessed with Lord of the Rings and the other works of J.R.R. Tolkien. A friend told me about the Barrow Downs and I've really enjoyed the forum so far (thanks Thule!). Finally, a place where you can talk about the actual stories rather than how "hot" so-and-so is. My interests include reading, skiing, tennis, spending time with friends and family, playing with my bird and dog, walking in the woods, and writing my own fantasy stories. I have a site dedicated to my writings, which is my homepage. Feel free to visit, but I must warn you, it is under major construction and some parts of it are off limits to the public. I'm currently starting the Silmarillion. What a book!
