ATM II Planning/Discussion Thread - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Question originally posed to Elempi. He thought I should post it here...

I noticed Hookbill said that Project Zoom started under Sauron. Now, I get the distinct impression that Mount Zoom is an anakronism. Control rooms, gas, and the like.

But it was said in ATM I that the Dweomer came into effect in Fourth Age 450, after Sauron would have been long gone...

So, is the Dweomer is more ancient than originally realized, accounting for Mount Zoom (along with express trains in the Shire ), and so the the Blue Istari merely happened into a bit of evil magic from ancient times when they started playing with it (If so, that actually gives me an idea for lmp discussion

)? Or is Mount Zoom separate from the Dweomer? Or is there something else? Or should I go away, be quiet and watch things play out?
