That is of course a possibility, it could be that if Alatar had looked up he would have witnessed some obscure valar ritual.

That would be too optimistic a stance for me.

And it is the name of a filming company that was producing a movie nearby.

Isn't the also a television/film company called Celador? I think Tolkien references are getting everywhere.

In fact, maybe it's time to start a thread on Tolkien names used in companies if there isn't one already.

I just saw another reference today too! Tolkien is everywhere. Eönwë, I definitely think that we should post a thread, and you are the perfect one to do it!

I want that ship. Now would as good a time as any to hand it over.

That also reminds me of a place in Fairbanks, Alaska I used to see quite frequently. I always meant to take a picture but getting around to it took a while.



Fairbanks is an enlightened place.

Ah, it would make sense that Elrond packed and moved to Alaska - remote, rural, rugged.

And I'll send that ship a sailing as soon as you send some shillings (for shipping).
