The most recent Hall of Fire discussion was another smashing success! For those of you unfortunate enough to have missed it, you can read the log here

Hidly Ho Barliman Chatters!

The everproductive hobbit Nob has put together a gallery of Barliman Regulars. You asked for it, you got it! Have a look at who’s chatting and submit your own picture here.

Have you seen our Map of Regulars? It’s truly incredible how many people from all over the planet have frequented Barliman’s chatroom! If you love maps like Bilbo and I do, you’ll appreciate this one put together by PipeSmoke.

Enjoy! 🙂

Again, faithfull chatters, I have been bested. Jan Hedberg aka. “Ecthelion” has correctly answered yesterday’s trivia question, the correct answer was “Duinhir”, I bow to you Ecthelion. Now lets see if you can answer today’s question!
In LotR, Who does this quote belong too? “Nay, though all things must come utterly to and end in time, Gondor shall not perish yet. Not though the walls be taken by some reckless foe that will build a wall of carrion before them. there are still other fastnesses, and secret ways of escape into the mountains. Hope and memory shall live still in some hidden valley, where the grass is green.”
As always, mail me with your answers, and the 1st correct reply will be posted here tomorrow. Have Fun!

Hullo!

Gandalf dropped this on my doorstep as he blurred past on Shadowfax late last night. He was yelling something about going out for Old Toby and Pepsi, but it wasn’t very clear. Looks like there’s another fun Hall of Fire coming up! Check it out:

What moment in the history of Middle Earth do you think is the scariest? The struggle in Shelob’s Lair? The trek through Moria? The abduction of Pippin and Merry at the hands of the Uruk-Hai? Or is there some other moment that you think is scarier?

Come join the throng at The Hall of Fire this Saturday, March 4. Please send your feedback and topic suggestions to The One Ring.net’s own wizard of reknown, Gandalf!

Thanks!

Attached are some vidcaps of the footage of four of the cast taking part in the Auckland Dragon Boat festival this weekend.

Orlando “Legolas” Bloom, Elijah “Frodo” Wood, Billy “Pippin” Boyd and Dominic “Merry” Monaghan all took part in the celebrity bath tub race.

The bath tubs turned out to be rather difficult to manoeuvre and the event degenerated into a swimming race. Elijah seemed to be the weakest swimmer as all thoughts of fellowship were abandoned, bath-tubs were boarded, pirate style and the contestants swam for the finish line.

The actors happily posed for photo ops with fans and seemed to enjoy themselves tremendously. Orlando claimed victory but Elijah seemed to think that Dominic had taken the gold medal.
