I have begun the final third of the book, and already I think we can resolve the questions around dating and the length of the Valian Year, as well as new material to discuss about the awakening of Men and its place on the timeline. We also have some substantial new works, most of which will tie into Volume 3 of our project, especially in my (not yet posted) draft for The Laws and Customs of the Eldar. We can also discuss implications once more of the round world/flat world change, and the age of the Sun and Moon, although I suspect that we will stick with the original flat world/mythical sun and moon version. It's an exciting time for Tolkien fans, and this project in particular!
