Hi, all! I'm Audreidi...well, obviously...
I joined up because, while I consider myself a relatively avid Tolkien fan, I don't know as much about Lord of the Rings as I do Star Wars. I've got a little bit of brushing-up to do (as well as actually buying the books, though I have some really nice posters) so I thought Barrow-downs would be a good site to sign up on.
Um...yes...I got referred by a certain Eowyn Skywalker, my good Padawan.

Hello everybody I am new here at the barrowdowns forum but I have visited the site frequently.
Well....a short presentation then. My name is Marcus and I come from a country which lies in northern regions of Europe. Yes that is right I am a swede

I am only 17 years old so therefore I am still a student. My maine subjects are social science and languages.
In my spare time I like to hang out with friends but that I seldom do, instead I am home and studying.

I have read the lord of the rings trilogy several times(3), the hobbit one time, The silmarillon two times at least!, the book of lost tales (1 and2)
Part from that I have also read different articles about JRR Tolkien and his life.
I consider myself a true Lord of the rings fan and I am pretty sure I have decent knowledge about the books and middlearth.

My main interest in middlearth is the valar, I find them very intersting beacuse they posses such great power.

At this forum I hope to learn a lot more about middlearth and the various cultures that exists there.

Yours sincerely/ Marcus.

Welcome to the Barrow-downs, Marcus, and Audriedi... enjoy being dead... mwha-ha-ha-ha. I know that I have, anyhow. *giggles*

Okay, enough with the... ummm... formalities... and now I must demand how on Earth you made it to the Barrow-downs without me noticing, master! *glares, and hides garlic pizzas that she WAS using to take over Barrow-downs with...* (And to the uninformed, which should be about everyone, it's a joke between Jandalf/Audriedi and I that I'm her 'Padawan'. Insane one, I might add... with garlic... anyone who was at the Barrow-downs birthday party would've noticed that...)

And Marcus, you will learn here... the Barrow-downs is the most informitive site on the internet when it comes to Tolkien, and that's saying a LOT!!! You'll like it here, or my name isn't' Eowyn Skywalker!!

Mwha-ha-ha... I'm no longer a newbe... giggle.

Hullo!
I’ve been lurking here since January and have finally decided to join the ranks of the dead. I love this site, it is definitely the best Tolkien-related forum I’ve been to. I’m 14, and am a newbie to Tolkien, only having read LotR last Christmas, but since then I’ve re-read it three times and also The Hobbit twice, The Silmarillion twice, and I bought UT recently and will certainly read it soon.

My nickname is from Quickbeam's song about the rowan trees. I really like the sound of it, and was surprised it hasn't already been taken.

Welcome to the Downs, Carnimírië! I like your name, and I think you'll enjoy UT.

Enjoy being dead!

Yes, welcome! It's actually fun being dead once you get used to the whole disimbodied voice thing... giggle. Also, being a blue wraithy thing isn't that bad either, I mean, Obi-Wan survived.

Oh... yeah... I'm suppose to be welcoming people.. sorry. Anyhow, welcome to the Downs!!!!

How long does it take to stop being a newbee anyhow? Giggle.
