In a land, many many miles away (England), where dragons roar, nazguls ride, and trees walk among us, there is a pub.

A very small pub.

A Hobbit, if you will.

In fact, the pub is called the Hobbit. It's an integral part of the community in Southampton, England, where Tolkein enthusiasts might meet up to enjoy a drink in this highly reputed tavern surrounded by Middle Earth's incredible universe.

This pub is unlike any other, with Middle Earth inspired cocktails (such as the Gandalf and Frodo), Tom Bombadil music evenings, and fantastic wall art in the garden supplied by a local artist.

The patrons and staff alike are fans of Tolkein's work, and the pub has been serving weary "Striders" for over 20 years, with no prior complaints or claims. The …

One of the dwarven miners explained to Durin that he has founded an tunnel way. Durin & his Guardians went to the tunnel way & discovers the mines in amazment.

Hey Tolkien fans, I spent the last hour working on a picture that will go on the front page. I just need an admin to do it. In the meantime, could I have some feedback on it.

The image is completely transpartent and covers both the Lord of the Rings and the Hobbit.

Could I have some feedback please?

If you lived on Middle-Earth, what would you be? Elf, Hobbit, Dwarf, Human, Orc,Etc. Etc. Where Would you live on middle-earth? what would you wear? what would your name be? Personality? Weapons?

What if Elrond defeated Sauron and threw the ring into Mount Doom?

What if Faramir didn't be mean to Gollum/Smeagol when he was exiting the forbidden pool?

What if Gollum died when Frodo pushed him off a steep cliff in Mordor?

What if Galadriel never gave Frodo the light of Earendiel?

Okay, this might sound random but, if Aragorn got into a fierce fight with Gimli. And please give your reasons below.

If you were J.R.R Tolkien, and you created the lotr series, what would you have done different? would the characters names be different or the same? what would you add or get rid of?..If you were Peter Jackson, would the cast be different? who would you pick for the characters? what would you have added or got rid of? what would you have done different?

The Battle of Fornost (or the Final Fall of Fornost) is a battle between a huge army of Angmar against the armies of Arthedain. This battle was in the time of the Fall of Arnor in August TA 1974.

Angmar has almost completely dominated Arnor, but Fornost still remains to be taken. The Dúnedain and their allies all gather for this final assault. In order to prevent a foolish advance (and subsequent destruction), the Witch-king prepares a base and gathers his forces first. After all the preparations, they begin the assault. Angmar starts by destroying the front gate and some of the outer defenses. Combining the fury of the Angmar army and deadly Angmar ice powers, the Witch-King slowly wears down the fortress one building at a time.

Well, the title says it all. Do you agree or disagree? I personally dont mind as long as if they don't go to far. Also I have a question, does Christopher Tolkien have to allow new characters in games or what?

The Battle of the North Downs is a battle between the armies of Angmar against the Dúnedain of Arnor & Rhudaur. The battle was in the time of The Fall of Arnor in Febuary TA 1409

A small Angmar scout party sent by Morgomir pursues Arveleg. The Dire Wolves make a mad rush for King Arveleg, while the Thrall Masters summon Gundabad Orc Riders to attack the Tower Guards. The combined forces successfully wear down Arveleg, but before he is killed he smashes the Palantír, causing a huge explosion killing everything nearby.

Morgomir and more powerful forces later arrive and notice a shard of the Palantír, which is still filled with power. Arnor also notices it and sends orders to retrieve it. Angmar and Arnor compete and race for mastery of the shard…

I know Alex Lioce likes to do fanon blog posts, and I think they're a little cool. I have never seen the rules saying that were not allowed to post fanon. So I think we should discuss where the line is on fanon blogs. I think it would be cool to have our own stories.

The Great Plague (Or Return of the Barrow Downs) is a Battle from the shadowy armies of Angmar against the armies of Arthedain. The Battle was in the Time of the Fall of Arnor in March TA 1634.

After an unsuccessful attack by Men and Elves on the fortress of Carn Dûm, the Witch-King contemplates his next move. The audacity of his enemies angered him greatly, and a example should be made. However, Angmar has been significantly weakened, and his next attack needs to be planned in order to prevent failure.

With the help of Morgomir & Kaltdrache, he decides to unleash a terrible plague upon the unsuspecting Arnor, created by his sorcerers. These wicked men, already deeply immersed in the Dark Arts, have become even more powerful due to acquiring …

Now the Witch-King now moves to Cardolan's most sacrred place of all, The Barrow Downs where their Great Kings of Arnor lie inside the Barrows. The Witch-King now neads Hwaldar to stand on top of the Royal Barrow. Cardolan wasn't affected by the destruction of Amon Sûl so the Witch-king attacks…

Húlrand (Plateau of Demons, Land of the Balrogs) is a flaming, plateau near Udûn that is home of the deadly Balrogs. Durin's Bane survived by living in the plateau over a thousand years then leaved Mordor into Moria in TA 1309, the year when Angmar was still on the assault to destroy Arnor. Balrogs weren't killed, they survived by escaping to Mordor that way Melkor can save then

It could be anyone,from the best known like Arwen or the still awesome, but not even a big deal such as Roise Cotton or Lúthien. Take your pick on who do you think is Lord of the Ring's best female character, just don't start a war please.

Warner Bros and LEGO announced today that they have the rights and will be releasing build-and-play LEGO sets in the summer of next year. If you cant take my word for it go to TheOneRing.net to read more. To visit the official site for this series of LEGOs go to thelordoftherings.lego.com. Whether or not they will be making a video game series for the franchise has not been stated yet, although it seems highly likely.

Hi lotr and hobbit fans, so I know everyone including myself is very excited for the hobbit which comes out next year and you have probably heard PJ and his team have made a new female elven character named Tauriel.(played by Evangeline Lilly) She is not in the books and this character has been invented by PJ and his team for the movie because they are barely any female characters in The Hobbit. Personally,I have no problem with Tauriel. It's good when films like The hobbit have strong female characters. I'm really excited for this character and I think she is going to be great! By the way she is not going to be Legolas's girlfriend or lover. I imagine her being kind of a tomboy having long brown or blond hair with elven braids. So lotr fa…

Hi. I am Metardis. By my username you might think I am from Tardis index... You're right, it was the first wiki I contributed too. By the way I cam be fun (*guffawes of laughter*). by-by.

I was a little bored, so I decided to ask all of you, who is your favorite character? My personal favorite is Gimli, and I'm curious to know what you guys think.

Who is more heroic, Arwen, or Eowyn?

In the book other than choosing a mortal over immortality, Tolkien didn't give Arwen many heroic scenes. (Peter Jackson gave Arwen a helping hand to elevate her status where she rescues Frodo from the Ring Wraiths, but still). Tolkien gave Eowyn a ton of heroic scenes. She is not only a loving sister, cousin, niece, friend, but she's a fearless warrior who does what "no man" could do (with a little help from another non-man) in standing up to and killing both the Nazgul and his fell beast. Even Gandalf had not been able to do that, and in fact a little earlier he had almost died in the Nazgul's hands. To top it off, she won a hand to hand battle with that awful Gothmog.

Arwen comes across as a well-c…
