  1. 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 […]

  6. This day we fight!
    ✅ War axe
    ✅ Bad attitude
    ✅ Suspicious amount of confidence
    ❌ Any actual plan

    Dwarves prepare.
    Orcs loudly announce victory before the battle starts.

  7. T.A.E.’s Book Review – The Legend of Sigurd and Gudrun by Christopher & J.R.R. Tolkien

    The Cold Radiance of Fate Christopher Tolkien’s The Legend of Sigurd and Gudrun (2009) is not merely a posthumous Tolkien curiosity; it is a serious act of literary recovery.

  10. Dismount when it's time to sing about gold, get in the saddle for drama!

  11. Tolkien forgot to mention the page boy who can turn Rohan warriors into woodland-dwelling, mountain-climbing fearless berserkers. #GamesWorkshop addresses this "oversight" with Lief, whose magic bag o' buffs makes Gandalf's staff-waving theatrics look like amateur night. l.d20.ninja/yn7a9v2n #GamesWorkshop #Rohan #TabletopGames #MiddleEarth #Miniatures

  12. Pretty damn happy as I received this today. I've been after a copy for ages and now finally have one. Great condition, too. #TTRPG #MiddleEarth #MERP

  13. [caption id="attachment_15834" align="aligncenter" width="720"] Elrond had an important role in Gil-galad’s realm in the Second Age. A reader asks why he didn’t leave Middle-earth at the start of the Third Age, when many of the Eldar appear to have done so. Here is what we know.[/caption]
