Tolkien quote of the day:

Yet there is a chasm which sunders Valinor from Vaiya (the enfolding ocean), and it is filled with Ilmen (clean pure air), and by this way one may come from Ilmen above the earth to the lower regions, and to the Earthroots, and the caves and grottoes that are at the foundations of the lands and seas. There is Ulmo's abiding-place. Thence are derived the waters of Middle-earth. For these waters are compounded of Ilmen and Vaiya and Ambar (which is Earth), since Ulmo blends Ilmen and Vaiya and sends them up through the veins of the World to cleanse and refresh the seas and rivers, the lakes and the fountains of Earth. And running water thus possesses the memory of the deeps and the heights, and holds somewhat of the wisdom and music of Ulmo, and of the light of the luminaries of heaven.

bullet Meetings and Counsel (Drabbling the CoE Aftermath) by Wayfarer Last Updated: 9/21/2006
FULL TITLE - Meetings and Counsel: Drabbling the Aftermath of the Council of Elrond (An occassional series). "The Council of Elrond" is a pivotal chapter in LotR, bringing many many characters together, almost like a ME equivalent of a UN conference. This is a drabble series to fill some of the gaps relojes replicas the good Prof left us to ponder. Chronology random. (Canon-conscientious. Constructive criticism most welcome.)
