The Hall of Fire

Me too.

Something a little different today. I'm not sure what they did to this photo, but I like. It was taken about six miles from where I live.

Welcome, Padme. Glad to have you here by any name. Welcome SilverScripe. I hope you will come out of the corner soon. Welcome, Tosh. Please feel free to do all the poking around that you want. Welcome, Bornilon. So glad you could make it. Pearl, may I share this happy dance with you? Although I will...

Faramond, your post was amazingly responsive to those things that I meant to say with that post but did not specifically lay out. I actually was going to go back and try to edit the post before we opened to try to bring some of thoughts more to the surface, but I did not get a chance to do so. And i...

Impy, please!!!!!!!!

Ath no need to apology - I was the one that brought the Sil into the discussion, but after all, the title of this thread is The Moral Universe of Middle-earth. The Sil is part of that world. ;) But recently, I have also been musing on the "fall" of Thingol: how did it happen that one so &q...

Welcome tinwë, and duffster! Great to see you!

Lacemaker, great to see you here, too. Get some rest, and we'll see you soon.

Posting an extra picture today, in honor of all of our new members.

Welcome, sf! Glad you could make it.

I agree. I was just musing on how pleasant the consistently Tolkien theme was .

I'm so happy to hear that, Angel and Watcher. We had great fun coming up with some of the names. Particularly me.

Welcome fisshy!

Welcome Snowdog!

Welcome Jewel!

Welcome wilko!

Welcome nl!

I'm so happy all of you could be here. If you go into the parlour, never mind Reginald, our resident ghost. He's just looking for some Shiraz.

Cem, I just knew you were a musician, even though so far as I can recall, I don't think I have actually read that anywhere. Just the kind of energy you have.

Faramond! Welcome, my friend, it is very good to see you.

tp, very well said.

Welcome, ttbk.

Welcome to Impy and Teremia.

I'm so excited I could burst.

Welcome to Elengil, tp, Eru, Rebecca and TheWatcher. I'm glad you are all here.
