Our collective experience of a global pandemic was peppered with losses in our intimate Tolkien community as well. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Today, on this last day of the year, we wish to take a moment to remember just a few of those in our community who left this earthly realm, and have found a far green country under a swift sunrise. Whether it was the patriarch of the entirety of Tolkien&#8217;s legacy, or the artist who created infamous cover art, they will all be missed &#8211; along with so many others who sailed into the West this year. We honour them all. Fare thee well!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow aligncenter\" data-effect=\"fade\"><div class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow_container swiper-container\"><ul class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow_swiper-wrapper swiper-wrapper\"><li class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow_slide swiper-slide\"><figure><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"550\" height=\"536\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow_image wp-image-104857 no-lazyload\" data-id=\"104857\" src=\"https:\/\/www.theonering.net\/torwp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/Christopher-Tolkien.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.theonering.net\/torwp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/Christopher-Tolkien.jpg 550w, https:\/\/www.theonering.net\/torwp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/Christopher-Tolkien-300x292.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow_caption gallery-caption\">Christopher Tolkien &#8211;
