It is the Fourth Age in Middle Earth and the race of Men have clearly taken the lead in returning ME to peace. The Dwarves had participated in the War of the Ring but what then becomes of this hardy race? What is left of their old kingdoms under the mountains? [More]

Dwarves (and other races) in the Fourth Age
While the Wise and most powerful of the elves return to the West, the lesser elves have remained behind. Which of these individual groups still linger and do they have a purpose any longer? And what of the hobbits? With the accomplishment of the Quest, is their role in ME now dwindling after its shining achievements?
Come join us this weekend in #thehalloffire as we discuss the future of Dwarves (and other races) in the Fourth Age

Our very own Turgon writes: I was watching DirecTV tonight, and they are advertising for their pay-per-view channels The Return of the King (and I quote): “Featuring bonus footage not seen in theaters”. If TORn’s reported on this, I’ve missed it. Any idea what they mean?– I suspect it isn’t new scenes per se, but probably something behind the scenes…?
UPDATE: Darthpip writes: The bonus footage that DirectTV will be showing is the documentary ‘A Directors Journey: A Quest Fufilled’ I’m pretty sure that it’s on the Freeview channel, too. This goes directly along with their showing of RotK on Pay-Per-View.
Anna Slack On Behalf of the Cambridge Tolkien Society writes: The morning of June 19th found a motley crew arrayed about the outside of Borders, Cambridge. They wore matching black t-shirts with a fetching design and a slogan that had been raising eyebrows all over the university city of Cambridge for weeks. Burdened with boxes of food, various odd implements for creating sound effects and, of course, the Ring of Power, they set up camp for what was to be a long and extraordinary day. [More]
