Its a picture of the Dwarves being driven out of Moria with the large Orc probably being Azog.

...But at the story of the little boy (which is a fully attested fact of course) with its...

Almost certainly Howard Shore. I think he came back to score The Hobbit.

From what little I remember of the excerpts I read years ago, doesn't Finrod mention that evil will only be undone if Eru should remove it and Andreth asks how that can be? How can that infinite...

Well, it's finally happened. 5 years since falling in love with the open beta, I've cancelled my subscription. I'm surprisingly emotional about it.

December 25, besides being Christmas, also coincides with the Fellowship leaving Rivendell on their quest for Mount Doom.

So, yea. Hope you enjoy it :-)

Galadriel and Gandalf were part of the White Council who, during the time of The Hobbit, were investigating the Necromancer (who turns out to be Sauron). I'm sure the scene was just her giving him...

The Orcs dumped Nuka Cola Quantum into the lake out of spite.

Morgoth. The first time I read The Silmarillion, I cried when I read the passages about him being taken captive and bound with shackles made from his own crown. Tolkien built him up as a supreme...

The next expansion better be exceedingly good. Turbine has lost much good-will through the last two less-than-amazing expansions.

Dear Mrs Mitchison,

....Some reviewers have called the whole thing simple-minded, just a plain fight...

Good to see that this game has got your goat.

I know 50% of you at 50% of the capacity that I would like, and I like less than 50% of you at less than 50% capacity that you deserve.

From the "Letters of JRR Tolkien":




There is no allegory in the story, including a representation of Christ in Turin. More tellingly later in the same letter...

Not that it matters but I have to ask....why do you say 'STEAM' instead of just Steam?

The mask can be more-or-less replicated in drops and quest rewards from Dunland. The armour is also similar to the Galladhrim rep medium armour made by Tailors.

The series and books get almost perfect marks in everything they have set out to accomplish....except for one. It just seems like George RR Martin, in a desperate attempt to make his world dark and...

"Saruman's arm would have grown long indeed if he can change the landscape of this distant planet," mumbled Gimli.

"It has grown long," said Gandalf.

They aren't grannies practicing witchcraft, nor are they even human. They're based off of (I believe) Welsh folklore, as are the other mythical critters of Dunland and Enedwaith. They're some kind...

This was an excellent article.
