Hi, i'm Clare, fancied joining yet another forum.
Limwen Elensar is my name in Elvish (first name actual translation, last name just a random generator thing). Um... i'm 17... have read the books 12 times total (probably only 8 or 9 times including introduction and appendices)... seen each film 6 or 7 times. Read the hobbit about 20 times. Tried the silmarillion but didn't really get on with it. |

Welcome Limwen! You read the books quite a bit. The Silmarillion is slightly hard to get through (though some of our great Tolkein historians here might disagree

Welcome, zxcvbn, Mithol and limwen_elensar! Also, a late welcome to Nazgûl-king, who seems to be very much home in here already.

Thanks for the welcome guys.
Nerwen, I do remember that! I will admit that the MC is a guilty pleasure of mine, but nevertheless the deleterius spoof was very, very well written and had me rolling on the floor. I need to visit that community sometime again. |

I'm with Finduilas on this ... I found the Silmarillion hard when I first read it - Foster's complete guide to Middle Earth which can be got cheaply on Amazon was a great help, keeping me straight with all the many similar names. Also dont' be put off looking at Unfinished tales just because you haven't got on with the Silmarillion - there is a lot of LOTR / Hobbit related stuff you would probably enjoy.
And welcome. ![]()

Welcome, Ytheogan! What an interesting moniker! It has an Eorling ring to it.
Enjoy your rest amongst the Dead of the Barrowdowns. ![]() |

I stumbled upon this site yesterday when I was looking for information on Role-playing in the 4th Age of Middle-earth.
I figured I would get myself a name and look around a bit. I'm definitely a Tolkien Geek, and I have a big shelf of nothing but his books, and books on Middle-earth. Just thought I would say hi. |

Interesting forum you have here.
