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 […]

Just watched a YouTube video on all LOTR / Middle-Earth games ever made and now I feel I might finally be ready to play the Battle For Middle-Earth games? I missed the original hype but they might be pretty cool 🧝♂️

Oh, the irony of a government website suggesting people should apply for visas from their own countries 🌍—as if #teleportation to the US embassy in #Narnia was ever an option! 🚪✨ Why not just ask applicants to submit their paperwork in Middle-earth for maximum convenience? 🧙♂️📜

Just watched The War of the Rohirrim finally (on my flight), and I'm left with mixed but mostly positive feelings. The story leans heavily on familiar tropes and at times it feels a bit too much like “Éowyn, but animated” with a classic rebellious daughter arc, but it still worked for me. It was gritty enough as well.
The animation, which I don’t usually go for, felt surprisingly fitting. A visual style that respected the world more than it tried to modernise it. Helm Hammerhand’s transformation into a spectral legend? That’s pure Tolkien saga, and it was handled beautifully. Easily the most compelling part of the film. And a bit of a relief after the somewhat corporate Héra storyline.
Compared to The Rings of Power, this felt less like corporate IP exploitation and more like someone actually read the appendices and cared. It’s not flawless, and you can feel the screenplay straining a bit under the weight of trying to build emotional arcs from sparse lore. But it gets the tone right, and that matters a lot.
Would happily take more Middle-earth stories in this style, as long as the writing keeps improving.

[caption id="attachment_17070" align="aligncenter" width="720"] Why did Amlaith of Fornost agree to divide the kingdom of Arnor with his brothers? Was he acting out of weakness or strength? Here is what we know.[/caption]
The conflicts between various Númenorean factions can be portrayed as clashes between conservative and liberal elements. Is there sufficient evidence to deduce what went […]

[caption id="attachment_16034" align="aligncenter" width="720"] The history of Arnor is complicated and challenging. Home of the original High Kings descended from Elendil, Arnor eventually declined into division and diminished royalty until Aragorn restored the House of Elendil. Why did the kingdom and its successor states fail? Here is an essay originally published on MERP.COM that explores […]

Where would you live if you could live anywhere? 🌏
I’ll answer first — New Zealand. I’ve made some acquaintances in #NZ. And they are some of the kindest, most creative, and most interesting people I’ve spoken with.
It's also home to Middle Earth, has beautiful weather year-round (though global warming has caused a bit of climate destabilization lately), and is one of the most peaceful places on Earth.
