Manipulating Middle-earth History
From the Halls of Fire comes another Tolkien topic to chat about! Imagine you had the power to influence one moment in the history of Arda… what would you do? After learning the lessons of pity and mercy from witnessing Frodo and Bilbo, perhaps you would want to intervene and make someones life less tragic. It could be a minor tweak, like preventing Sam from calling Gollum a sneak, or something huge like executing Sauron instead of chaining him up at Numenor.
Think on it! Your actions could have serious consequences. Then bring your thoughts to our chat this Saturday, May 27, at 5:30 EDT [-5 hours GMT].

With graduation day creeping up soon, I felt it was my duty to point you to Shop@theonering.net, A fine place filled with every Tolkien CD, poster, movie, toy, and book that any graduating Tolkien fan could ever want!!! Also, let us not forget, Father’s day is just around the bend, perhaps Dad would like a new copy of the Silmarillion, or better yet, why not by him the BBC recording of it on CD?? Sound good? Well then, check it out!
