Q: What Was Durin’s Crown?
ANSWER: I received the following inquiry in March 2026:
Hello. There’s a thought I had regarding the Crown of Durin. I have seen in the web endless discussions about which constellation the Crown of Durin might be, which is reflected on the waters on Mirrormere. But, could it be possible that it is no reflection at all, but actually a physical bejewelled crown that […]

“Doctor Doom Thanked Seattle for All the Surveillance Cameras”
Doctor Doom is good…but I think a Nazgûl ringwrath from LOTR would get more attention.

We encourage you to be strange, not only for Wonderful Weirdos Day on September 6 but also everyday! Because being normal is boring and not creative!
Be wonderfully weird like Isab and Rattio from our underground romantic comedy "What Went Down in Goblin Town?" at Pennsic last month!

Con todo, hay momentos de la trilogía de El Señor de los Anillos que son simplemente sublimes. Es el mejor adjetivo que puedo encontrar para referirme a aquellos momentos que nos causan escalofríos, y hasta soltar lágrimas de emoción. A veces sólo pensar en ellos hace que se me enchine la piel y se me humedezcan los ojos...

How Many Castles In Middle-earth?
For screen readers [ Click to expand ] A six-panel comic in a cute Japanese chibi manga style follows Kael and Darvolo as they walk along a stone-paved road winding through a sunlit forest. Tall trees, wildflowers, moss-covered rocks, and patches of sunlight create a peaceful setting. Kael wears chain mail armor, a blue cloak, and carries a sword. Darvolo wears the elegant clothing of a wealthy merchant, including a feathered hat, embroidered robes, jewelry, and a decorative cloak. Their […]https://mytolkienlife.xenite.org/how-many-castles-in-middle-earth/

Why Didn’t Sauron Create An Army Of Morgûl-Blade Slaves?
ANSWER: I have been asked about this a few times over the years, although not very often. It’s one of those questions that kind of pops into your mind when you’re reading the story for the nth time. Or maybe you’re reading a blog like this one and someone mentions an item or something and suddenly your mind starts wandering.
I received […]

Birthday present finally framed and hung. Two posters of #MiddleEarth maps done in schematic London Underground “Tube Map” style.
The schematic Tube Map style was first designed by Harry Beck and promoted until it became the London Underground standard: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tube_map
These two designs, following that style, are by Don Wilde: https://donwildeart.com/collections/lord-of-the-rings-subway-maps
adapting Christopher Tolkien's original maps to the Tube Map style. One shows the First Age (as told in the #Silmarillion), the other shows the Third Age (as told in #LordOfTheRings). There are loads of detail to delight #Tolkien fans.

Fast And Furious Food
For screen readers [ Click to expand ] A seven-panel comic in a cute Japanese chibi manga style follows Lily through a bizarre dream. The first six panels are arranged in two columns, with a final double-wide panel stretching across the bottom. Most of the dream takes place at the drive-thru window of a stone building with a wooden sign above it reading "Food to go." Lily leans out of the serving window as increasingly unusual customers arrive. The dream becomes stranger with each order […] -
Q: Why Were J.R.R. Tolkien’s Works So Revolutionary?
ANSWER: I think people sometimes give J.R.R. Tolkien credit for inventing things he didn’t invent. Tolkien did not invent Elves, Dwarves, dragons, magic swords, enchanted rings, heroic quests, ancient kingdoms, or supernatural enemies. Other writers had created imaginary worlds before The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings were published, and […]

Q: Why Did The One Ring Allow Frodo To Hand It To Bombadil?
ANSWER: I had half-written this article and then had to stop working on it. I left the browser window open but when I came back to it the article vanished. So it’s possible I haven’t reconstructed all my previous ideas and I may miss something in what follows (as I wrote it hastily). I received the following questions in December […]

It’s pretty clear all the elves in Peter Jackson's interpretation of Middle Earth are just tired of all this shit.

Q: What Was Sauron’s True Name?
ANSWER: Sauron’s “true” name must be one of the most popular topics among Tolkien fans who dive deep into the minutiae of the books. When Aragorn, Legolas, and Gimli were discussing the Orcs whom Boromir had killed, they pondered what the “S” rune on their helms might represent. Aragorn dismissed the idea that it could represent “Sauron” because “he does not […]

Do All Elves Have Pointy Ears?
For screen readers < fieldset> [ Click to expand ] A six-panel comic in a cute Japanese chibi manga style shows Elara and Darvolo sitting together in a cozy music studio. The room contains musical instruments, microphones, sheet music, books, potted plants, and warm natural light. Both characters hold small harps, although Elara is the one actively playing throughout most of the comic. Colorful musical notes float from her harp whenever she plays, emphasizing the gentle melody. The […]https://mytolkienlife.xenite.org/do-all-elves-have-pointy-ears/

Q: What Did Tolkien Mean When He Used ‘Swart’ And ‘Swarthy’ To Describe Elves And Men?
ANSWER: I have deferred answering this question because of my recent post about Andy Serkis. I received this question in September 2025 and as I process my queue of visitor-submitted questions it was coming up when Andy made waves in the news. I hope enough time has passed that people won’t mind my […]

Why Was Gondor Never Conquered?
For screen readers [ Click to expand ] A six-panel comic in a cute Japanese chibi manga style follows Lily, Mira, and Barath inside an ancient library filled with towering bookshelves, stone arches, wooden tables, candles, books, and rolled scrolls. The warm lighting and scholarly surroundings create the atmosphere of a place devoted to history and learning. Throughout the comic, Lily and Mira discuss why Gondor remained unconquered before Barath, an experienced researcher already studying […]https://mytolkienlife.xenite.org/why-was-gondor-never-conquered/

Q: Why Didn’t The Elves Destroy The Three Rings?
ANSWER: People have asked many questions about the Rings of Power. I received the following question about the Elven rings in July 2025:
… why did the Elves keep the Three Rings all those years, instead of destroying them? They had access to Mount Doom for at least the first millennia of the 3rd Age. The Keepers wanted to keep the power […]

Q: When Does A Tolkien Question Stop Being About Tolkien?
ANSWER: Through the years I receive occasional thoughtful opinions or responses to recent posts on this blog, where long-time readers feel I may have strayed beyond their expectations or – in some cases – comfort zones. Those two areas are not the same (in my eyes). There may be other, unseen boundaries I occasionally cross. Years ago, […]

And Now The Orc Mage Appears
For screen readers [ Click to expand ] A seven-panel comic in a cute Japanese chibi manga style shows seven recurring fantasy characters gathered around a large wooden table for a tabletop role-playing game resembling Dungeons & Dragons. The cozy room is warmly lit with lanterns and candles. The table is covered with colorful polyhedral dice, character sheets, pencils, books, and miniature figurines representing heroes and monsters. Kael serves as the game master from one end of the table. […]https://mytolkienlife.xenite.org/and-now-the-orc-mage-appears/

Q: Why Were Arnor And Gondor Separate After Isildur Died?
ANSWER: I received the following question from a reader in November 2025:
Why were Armor and Gondor sundered after Isildur’s death, if long-range communications with the Palàntiri was a thing?
Technically, the realm of Elendil persisted until Third Age year 861, when Amlaith and his two (unnamed) brothers divided Arnor into three […]

Leonard Nimoy - “The Ballad of Bilbo Baggins” (1968)
Everytime I hear this I’m struck by how it’s so fully developed, musically.
The video is cool too, but the song itself is just perfect. Well crafted, celebratory lyrics, plus some cool horn sounds, particularly the little baritone sax solo near the end.
