happy-birthdayTORn’s 10th Anniversary bash keeps getting better and better. Our good friend Magnus from Weta just posted a birthday card to TORn from Weta on in the VIP message thread on our Feedback board:

“Dear Tehanu, Xoanon, Corvar, Calisuri and thousands of other friends, No website has provided such a platform for fandom and creativity across literature and film as TheOneRing.net and for that we salute you! Past, current and future crew at Weta will be forever spiritually connected to TORn and we are absolutely relishing the opportunity to take on future journeys together – there… and back again… naturally.
We have recorded a short tribute at http://www.wetanz.com/torn10bday/  Wink
Where you can also see your card in high resolution glory.”

Check out the high res version of the Weta birthday card (pictured) and the TORn tribute video at the link above. You won’t want to miss it.

What better way to thank the founders of this site for the wonderful work they’ve done here than with something ‘Tolkienesque.’ To that end, please enjoy the ‘Valaquenta of TORn’ below, written by talented message board member Alassea Eruvande, edited (hardly at all) by many loving conspirators and last, but by all means not least, set to paper by the esteemed Daniel Reeve, calligrapher and artist for Peter Jackson’s Lord of the Rings movies.

Also, please join us today and tomorrow on our Feedback Message Board for a chance to ‘talk’ to Daniel and some other very special VIP friends of TORn.
