“Fairy tale does not deny the existence of sorrow and failure: the possibility of these is necessary to the joy of deliverance. It denies (in the face of much evidence, if you will) universal final defeat…giving a fleeting glimpse of Joy; Joy beyond the walls of the world, poignant as grief.”
― J.R.R. Tolkien.

When Thorin gave Bilbo the Mithril chainmail shirt, he said it was made for an Elven prince.
The only Elven prince that was born in any of the 4 Elven realms since the founding of Erebor is Legolas.
Frodo is wearing Legolas's baby clothes in LOTR.

When being delulu ruins your life, whew.
The writer not only has to destroy all his fanfiction and looks to be barred from publishing anything in the future, but he has to pay Amazon's attorney fees: $134,000 on top of his own attorney fees and $402 just to file his inane lawsuit.
Please think about that. SIX FIGURES for what I suspect is minimal discovery (emails and the fanfic in question) and probably decided by briefing (Summary Judgement) instead of a trial. Just to Amazon.
He did have representation, and the attorney looks like they have 16 years experience. I don't know their rate, but lets say amazon has the highest rate and this attorney the lowest for California (according to google), and they worked 263 hrs on this case (highest rate/award). That's $44,184 as a low, generous estimate. I suspect it's a lot more.
All together, ~$178,586.
When I tell you litigation is expensive...

Tar Telperien, Second Ruling Queen of Númenor
back to posting with some Numenor! this time, Tar-Telperien, second Ruling Queen of Numenor (and not simply queen consort). Little is told to us about her, but we know that she ruled on Numenor for 175 years, and she never married but ruled alone on her own. It was during her kingdom that the Rings of Power were forged in Eregion, and that the War of the Rings begun. She died without a heir, so it was her nephew Tar-Minastir who succeeded her.Â
the stained glass windows are inspired by breath-art’s incredible stained glass art.Â

The one thing I think Tolkien would despise about the movies is their treatment of Gimli and him being turned into the comic relief. It’s the exact opposite of Tolkien’s dwarves and I really dislike it and think he would too.

“It all began with the forging of the Great Rings. Three were given to the Elves; immortal, wisest and fairest of all beings. Seven, to the Dwarf Lords, great miners and craftsmen of the mountain halls. And nine, nine rings were gifted to the race of Men, who above all else desire power. For within these rings was bound the strength and the will to govern over each race. But they were all of them deceived, for another ring was made. In the land of Mordor, in the fires of Mount Doom, the Dark Lord Sauron forged in secret, a master ring, to control all others. And into this ring he poured all his cruelty, his malice and his will to dominate all life. One ring to rule them all. One by one, the free peoples of Middle Earth fell to the power of the Ring. But there were some who resisted. A last alliance of men and elves marched against the armies of Mordor, and on the very slopes of Mount Doom, they fought for the freedom of Middle-Earth. Victory was near, but the power of the ring could not be undone. It was in this moment, when all hope had faded, that Isildur, son of the king, took up his father's sword. And Sauron, enemy of the free peoples of Middle-Earth, was defeated. The Ring passed to Isildur, who had this one chance to destroy evil forever, but the hearts of men are easily corrupted. And the ring of power has a will of its own. It betrayed Isildur, to his death. And some things that should not have been forgotten were lost. History became legend. Legend became myth. And for two and a half thousand years, the ring passed out of all knowledge. Until, when chance came, the ring ensnared a new bearer. The ring came to the creature Gollum, who took it deep into the tunnels under the Misty Mountains, and there it consumed him. The ring gave to Gollum unnatural long life. For five hundred years it poisoned his mind; and in the gloom of Gollum's cave, it waited. Darkness crept back into the forests of the world. Rumor grew of a shadow in the East, whispers of a nameless fear, and the Ring of Power perceived. Its time had now come. It abandoned Gollum. But then something happened that the Ring did not intend. It was picked up by the most unlikely creature imaginable. A Hobbit, Bilbo Baggins, of the Shire. For the time will soon come when Hobbits will shape the fortunes of all...” Galadriel

Having finished Letters from Father Christmas, I can only conclude that Tolkien’s main gripe with CS Lewis’ Santa Claus is that he didn’t invent at least 2 languages to flesh out his North Pole lore.

Reading The History of The Lord of the Rings is SO fascinating.
Tolkien spent 15 years writing it, there were many many many edits and drafts made to the story. Christopher Tolkien collected as many as he could find, edited them, put them in order and put them into a four-part series.
It's so interesting to see how he came up with each character, what got cut, how he wandered into different plot points. Highly recommend reading.

yknow if you think about it, the existence of Tauriel was caused by the assassination of duke Franz Ferdinand.
