Once this goes up for sale you can count on us letting you all know, so you can add this amazing piece of art to your Middle-earth collection.
A couple weekends ago The Hall of Fire followed up a discussion of heroism in The Lord of the Rings with one focusing simply on the aspects of heroism that members of the Fellowship exhibit during the Quest. For those who couldn’t attend, here’s a log.
