🎬 Oh joy, a glorified Google Maps for film nerds who want to pretend they're walking through Middle Earth's Mordor while actually just standing in a field in New Zealand 🌍. Because nothing says "I have too much free time" like tracing the exact coordinates of a castle that appeared for 3 seconds in a movie from the '80s. 😂

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.

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 […] -
Sharing for my fellow #Tolkien folks!
“To many in the Tolkien fandom, #audiobooks are a vital way to explore #JRRTolkien’s and Christopher Tolkien's work. To date… Christopher Tolkien's ‘The History of Middle-earth’ as a complete set with consistent and separate narration for Christopher and J.R.R's voices remains undone.
“Let's show HarperCollins that we have the interest and support to make these audiobooks happen. Share with your friends and communities!” #petition #MiddleEarth #fantasy

Do All Elves Have Pointy Ears?

The room contains musical instruments, microphones, sheet music, books, potted plants, and warm natural light.

Why Was Gondor Never Conquered?

The warm lighting and scholarly surroundings create the atmosphere of a place devoted to history and learning.

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. The volume centres on two long poems, The New Lay of the Völsungs and The New Lay of Gudrún, with Christopher Tolkien’s commentary, appendices, and an introductory frame that situates the work in the world of the Elder Edda. The book also makes plain that J.R.R. Tolkien composed these poems in the 1930s, working […] -
I haven't had much time to research answers to the questions that readers submit to the Middle-earth Blog this year. So to help me lighten the load, I've started a new series called Middle-earth Trivia (it requires less research). This is this first post in the series: "Little Known Details About Tolkien Elves"
