On the Main board this week, Ethel Duath invited us all to create an anthem for the fictional country of Tolkenia<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Whilst in the Reading Room, noWizardme wants to know which Tolkien book character would you have lunch with, and why?\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n

The Hobbit board is buzzing over why we haven\u2019t seen any major images of Bolg, Dain or Beorn <\/a>(apart from the blurry Sonic Hedgehog image of Beorn and a toy of Bolg).<\/p>\n

In Off Topic we\u2019ve been checking up on our friends in the Wellington area after the big earthquake<\/a> last week.<\/p>\n

And in the Pollantir, Maciliel wants to know how many books we have in our personal libraries<\/a>.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ll share more topics next week. We hope you\u2019ll come and join in the conversations! \u00a0Don\u2019t forget, TheOneRing.net\u2019s message boards have over 9,950 registered Tolkien fans, just like you. \u00a0Let your voice be heard!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
