Merry Mettarë!
Happy Yestarë!

This does look pretty awesome.

As far as men are concerned, there were few options outside the few Dunedain of Numenorian blood. You had the hillmen of Rhuadur, who were likely intermingled some with the Dunedain of Rhuadur before they took hold of the lands and swore fealty to Carn Dum. It was only a few hundred years before the...

Alas, I have been away too long in the wilds and have miss much good discussion. I again found this site after going and saving nookmarks from an old laptop. I was in a similar discussion on another Tolkien site about the sustainability of the Dunedain of the North. That discussion was focused on p...

Hail and Mae Govannen fellow Rangers! My name is Rory, here under my persona Ruinar Hrafnakveðja. Ruinar is the Sindarin translation of my name and Hrafnakveðja is Old Norse for Raven Caller, though I go by many names. I'm a young Ranger hailing from Toronto, Canada. I'm a member of a Medieval/To...

Brethren, I do indeed remember many decades ago the grouchy talk surrounding announcements that someone named Peter Jackson was filming the legend. That didn't turn out too badly did it now? Yeah, it did actually. It totally ignored Arnor, Arthedain, and the Dunedain Rangers , relegating Aragorn to...

Hello all. It has been quite some time since I frequented your company. I hope you are all well and in good spirits. I have been reading Return of the King and I was struck by this passage describing the Men of Gondor who rode into Minas Tirith shortly before the siege. 'Forlong! Forlong!' Pippin h...

Ah yes..... memories of the early 80's. Had the Red box, and both the early and late blue box editions, and some metal miniature figurines we painted.
I ended up with all the stuff when game night sputtered out in 1985, and I think it all is still in the attic at the folks, now my brother's, house.

Yes, the Skyrim soundtrack is quite good!
Some more music I listen to while Middle Earthing...

Couldn't resist....
