Tolkien quote of the day:

And the nineteenth king took the sceptre of his fathers, and he ascended the throne in the name of Adûnakhor, Lord of the West, forsaking the Elven-tongues and forbidding their use in his hearing. Yet in the Scroll of Kings the name Herunúmen was inscribed in the High-elven speech, because of ancient custom, which the kings feared to break utterly, lest evil befall Now this title seemed to the Faithful over-proud, being the title of the Valar; and their hearts were sorely tried between their loyalty to the House of Elros and their reverence of the appointed Powers.

Akallabeth, The Silmarillion

bullet Book Learning by Branwyn Last Updated: 11/2/2006

bullet Fell Memories by Gwynnyd Last Updated: 10/13/2006
Though Aragorn left Gondor in the triumph of the Corsair defeat saying he planned to spend his time working against the enemy, he arrived at Lothlorien less than three months later 'on his way to Rivendell' and 'weary'. Would such a short time in the Wild 'weary' the intrepid Ranger, or did something much more drastic occur during the 'perils on the dark confines of Mordor"?

Rated adult for violence.
