Intent on drawing forth Sauron’s hidden strength, the Army of the West marches on Mordor. Seemingly bent on self destruction, they provocatively cross the Anduin, set the fields of Morgul Vale aflame and proclaim the return of the Lords of Gondor. [More]

Our good friends Jeff Sherrill, Kris Nelson, and Paul Dunne (the Elvish 101 Guys) will be back in #TheHallofFire tonight at 8PM EDT for a lesson in Tolkien’s languages. Kris says, “We are going to go over the basic phonology, spelling, and stress of Quenya, interpret some Quenya phrases, and try to correlate everything to Sindarin as much as possible since this seems to be what people are interested in.” So stop by this evening and learn a bit of Elvish to impress/frighten your friends! The first transcript can be found [here]
