<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR> Well, Estelyn Telcontar, I'm pretty for sure that they came from one of Tolkein's Letters, but I can't back that up properly. *sheepish grin* However, I can properly state that they weren't created for a game. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE><BR>In fact I can confirm 100% that these were developed for a game. How do I know? I own the book in which they appear. They appear as part of the “Lords of Middle Earth” series, a range of books providing information for the Middle Earth Role Playing (MERP) game. The descriptions within the book are more detailed but it’s all made up of course, other than those for the Witchking and Khamul.<BR>It also contains other flights of fantasy such as Lungorthin, the white-fire Balrog who is the herald of Melkor’s throne room.
