What is the improvement, Alatar? To me, the main problems of the original cosmogeny are: 1) Varda arranging the Sickle of the Valar to encourage the elves. Knowing the size of stars, that is an impossible feat and way beyond the scope of a Vala (they're powerful, but not omnipotent). 2) The Sun is ...

Tolkien and the Ring of the Nibelung
In the following thread I mentioned that a new Miniseries was being made of the Ring of the Niebelung and there was some discussion about whether it was fair to compare it to Lord of the Rings. http://www.thehalloffire.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=231 Having now seen the miniseries, I'll say that it ha...

Ok. Imagine a World, globed in the abyss. There are no stars, no sun, no moon. The Ainur enter and shape this world to their liking and Melkor destroys and corrupts what they create. In the Continental Mass of what is now Europe they raise the two great Lamps, Illuin and Ormal, to bring light to the...

I'm a huge fan of both Howe and Lee. Possibly my favourite depiction of Orcs is Howes image of the Orcs from the 1987 calendar. Here it is Also, Howes depiction of the Ford of Bruinen is magnificent: At the Ford I also adore his depiction of Smaug: Death of Smaug All of these were pre-PJ but I love ...

I'll accept the Discworld in Pratchett, but not in Tolkien. But it’s not a “discworld”. As a matter of fact, I think referring to it as a “flat world” is really not indicative of its form at all. Looking at the diagram in my first post, with the great “veins of the world” reaching down towards the ...

Ah, the bookshelf! Funnily enough, sorting out the Display cabinet also resulted in a knock-on effect of reorganising my bookshelf. First is the main shelf. My Hardback collection of Tolkien books. Starting with the Alan Lee Illustrated Centenary Box Set that I won from TORN for running a Line Party...

Ah, but V, if that were so, why would the Professor have spent so much time ensuring that the cycles of the moon were correct and cognisant with modern lunar activity. Surely any alterations sould have been explained by Tilions waywardness and his attraction to Arien. Why the need to tie them so acc...
