- ~Enter the Silmarils! (U Can't Touch Them)
In Which the Prize Jewels of the Noldor Are Made, Everyone Gawks, and Melkor Is--Surprise!--Outed As A Big, Big Jerk. In "Of the Silmarils and the Unrest of the Noldor," we see, at last, the pièce de résistance of all Elvendom. The Silmarils are the reason for the treason and the best excuse for this book's kick-ass title. How and why they come to be made is a bit mysterious, but then we move right along to see the reactions they elicit in all who behold them--their maker, other Elves, the Valar. Not to mention Melkor. We'll also learn how everyone's favorite ex-Vala pisses in the well of paradise, inspires weaponsmithing, and pits brother versus brother. [More]

The vast majority of the information we have on Shire holidays can be found in Appendix D of Lord of the Rings, where Tolkien talks about the different calendar systems in Middle Earth. From this text we get a decent idea of hobbit holidays (though keep in mind that not all of them are unique to the Shire). [More]
