The reasons for Ringers to come to Atlanta the first weekend of June keep multiplying. Being a sponsor of TheOneParty was not only fun for mega-conference and performance fest Mythic Journeys, but managed to attract one more exciting guest-“Last Unicorn” author Peter S. Beagle—who heard about us during the party. Alan Lee, Virginia Lee and renowned Tolkien scholar Verlyn Flieger are confirmed, as well as many top fantasy authors and artists such as Brian Froud, Charles Vess, Charles de Lint, Guy Gavriel Kay, Terri Windling.
Then there’s Emerald Rose performing and LOTR game designer Daniel Greenberg. Plus, Howard Shore will be conducting “The Lord of the Rings Symphony” the same weekend with the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra. They’d also like to offer all OneRing readers a special $25 discount on memberships.

Relationships in Tolkien:
Frodo and Sam, Turin and Beleg, Aldarion and Erendis, Cirion and Eorl, Gondor and Rohan, Feanor and his Silmarils, Melkor and Manwe, Gollum and the Ring. Which relationships expresses the epitome of love, loyalty and sacrifice? And which, the epitome of jeaolousy, hate and obsession?
Some of the most interesting elements of Tolkien’s works are the complex relationships between his characters. Some relationships express nearly a biblical purity and love while others tragically demonstrate the opposites of hate, jealousy, obsession and revenge. And are all Tolkien’s fascinating relationships between people, or are the most fascinating ones between his characters and objects? What are some of the most common attributes in Tolkien’s famous relationships? Do these attributes increase or decrease the realistic quality in Tolkien’s works?
Come join us this weekend in #halloffire as we discuss the light and dark within some of the most famous and infamous relationships in Tolkien.
