Hey fellow BDers. I have a question for your LOTR infested minds. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] Are the ruins on the rock under the wizard Tolkien related? [img]smilies/eek.gif[/img]

I have found that some of the ruins match Tolkiens work, but unicorns??..... [img]smilies/confused.gif[/img]

Meoshi · 03-19-2003, 08:50 PM

Nah. No LOTR unicorns. There are mearas, though, will that do?

Arvedui III · 03-19-2003, 09:39 PM

Probibly someone didn't bother to read the books(stupid) and copied the runes n' stuff.

Quirkette · 03-19-2003, 10:01 PM

The expression on that wizard's face is giving me the grins.

"Oh looky! I made me some unicorns!"

Beren87 · 03-19-2003, 10:06 PM

The first, third, and fourth in the top row, and the second in the bottom are Tolkien Runes.

They're runes of the Angerthas

None of the others seem familiar though.

Lady_Báin · 03-20-2003, 07:06 AM

hmm some of themn do indeed look a bit like Tolkien, they could also easily be random general viking/ancient culture rir-offs so hmm hard to say

that guy does give one the grins [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] "Look i made some unicorns" heehee too much Quirkette. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

It looks like Albus Dumbledore poking unicorns at the Fireswamp just outside of Lothlorien.

Just a random thought... [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Horse-Maiden of the Shire · 03-20-2003, 06:25 PM

Could be Gandalf. He smoked waaay too much pipeweed, tried on a new outfit, and experimented with mearas and icicles.

Quirkette · 03-20-2003, 09:44 PM

But you know he's a big shot wizard because he's got MOONS and STARS on his outfit. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Eressië Ailin · 03-20-2003, 09:56 PM

What would have happened if Saruman didn't submit to Sauron... [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img]

Lomadia · 03-20-2003, 11:49 PM

Well, most Angerthas runes are directly based off of Germanic runes. Sometimes you can find charts of these in dictionaries.

Lindril Arvilya · 03-23-2003, 04:41 PM

They've put some of the runes backwards, either to make them appear more "fantastical" (as in Sci-Fi/Fantasy), or they've jsut screwed it up. And a couple of those I've never seen before. The sixth one looks vaguely Theban (nothing like Tolkien's), and did you notice that the fifth and eighth are a star and a moon?
