- ~Collecting The Precious -- Weta Workshop's No. 1 Auctions Week 3
Week Three of our friends at Weta Workshop's No. 1 auctions has started. This week fans can add the number one piece in the edition of the following statues: The Mouth of Sauron, Black Arrow prop replica, Thranduil on Elk, Prancing Pony (This is actually No 2 in the series as none were actually in the No 1 box) , and Galadriel. [More]
~Collecting The Precious -- What if a Lego Minas Tirith was made?
Thanks to Ringer GJC15344, we have a look at what if Lego had gotten around to making a Minas Tirith set. Over a short period of time we got several very cool Middle-earth themed sets from Lego. Unfortunately, we never got Minas Tirith. However, I know after seeing these maybe, just maybe, if we can get enough emails sent to them we could get this. [More]
~The Run of the Rohirrim Certificate
Congratulations! You are a true Rider (or runner, or maybe a walker). You answered the call to traverse the miles from Dunharrow to Minas Tirith. Here is your Finisher Certificate. Print it out and share a photo of yourself on our World and Works of J.R.R. Tolkien Facebook page, and tell us a tale of your adventures, or perhaps share a poem or song. [More]

- ~Here, There, and Everywhere: Sundered Elves and the Valar Who Love Them
In Which An Elf Lord Sees About a Girl While His Westward-Venturing Friends Take an Unexpected Cruise. "Of Thingol and Melian" is a super short chapter that introduces us to two major characters of the First Age even as it brings them together. "Of Eldamar and the Princes of the Eldalië," meanwhile, tells us how all those Oromë-following Elves make it across the Great Sea to join the Valar on the continent of Aman. And just who the heck are these Elves anyway? Well, Tolkien introduces us to them in floodgate fashion, so I'll focus on discussing the most important ones. [More]

- ~Miriel's Noldorin Heritage
Since Tolkien never gives us any other information about her parentage, readers pretty much assume that she's wholly Noldorin. However, it's worth pointing out that many elves with mixed heritage are referred to by their patrilineal heritage. [More]
