The Barrow-Downs Often also named drakes (Old English), worms or wyrms there, dragons in Middle-Earth, are, however, exclusively evil creatures; created or bred by Morgoth, the primeval Dark Lord, in the pits of Angband in the First Age. The few dragons who survived the War of Wrath and the downfall of Morgoth and his stronghold, removed to scarcely inhabitated regions in the north and north-east of Middle-Earth. In order to slay a dragon in Middle-Earth, it needed a wretched hero, bound to and chosen by fate, armed with a legacy, magic weaponry and not seldom a fey spirit, who would face the beast alone, often meeting his own doom in the encounter. forum.barrowdowns.com /site/theme-dragons.php   (618 words)

Werewolf (Middle-earth) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The Middle-earth werewolves were not shapeshifters like the werewolves of European mythology — they were always in the form of beasts. The first werewolf was Draugluin, and the greatest werewolf was Carcharoth, the guardian of Angband, a descendant of Draugluin as all other werewolves were. The name werewolf appears to have been chosen because they were in essence sentient (but evil), and thus had a status beyond that of normal wolves. www.wikipedia.org /wiki/Werewolf_%28Middle-earth%29   (7491 words)

More silliness - www.ezboard.com With the older arriving in Middle Earth, they immediately set about blowing their own trumpets, and advancing all over the place, but generally in the direction of Angband. Histories of Middle Earth, the facts and the figures, the dates, who sired who, matters of hair colour, of wings, of ears and various other body parts, have all been debated and debated again until the water of truth has become thoroughly muddied. The memorable Gladiola was the daughter of Finbar, and she went to Middle Earth, with her brothers, so that she could live in a tree with Celeron, a kinsman of Thingol. p082.ezboard.com /ftheeldardaysfrm11.showMessage?topicID=10.topic   (4650 words)

The Races of Middle Earth Of the origins of dragons, no tale tells; the first of them to be seen was Glaurung, Father of Dragons, who first issued from Angband in the middle of the First Age. Werewolves were especially associated with Sauron, who indeed took the shape of a great wolf himself at least once. Evil spirits sent to dwell in the Barrow-downs by the Witch-king of Angmar during his wars with the remnant of Arnor, and who remained there long after the realm of Angmar itself had vanished from the world. www.angelfire.com /realm/teralpunir/races/morgulraces.html   (1141 words)

Tolkien Page - Races of Middle-Earth There waiting silent and still in the space before the Gate, sat Gandalf upon Shadofax, Shadowfax who alone among the free horses of the earth endured the terror, unmoving, steadfast as a graven image in Rath Dinen. He was slain during the last defense of Angband, by Earendil and all of the birds such as the Eagles. Eagles are often used as the eyes of Manwe as well as warning against something (as in the case of the eagle-shaped clouds over Numenor). fin.go.wifl.at.org /tables/html/races.htm   (3664 words)

Glaurung - He was bred by Morgoth from some unknown stock and was the first dragon to appear outside of Angband. Glaurung was a very powerful and cunning dragon, and he at times used his abilities to achieve his desired ends without resorting to direct physical violence (at which he was equally proficient). It is likely that he is the dragon that appears in Tolkien's poem "The Hoard" in The Adventures of Tom Bombadil, which seems to be based on the events at Nargothrond. psychcentral.com /psypsych/Glaurung   (374 words)

Iron Mountains (Middle-earth) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Melkor's great fortresses of Angband and Utumno were built in the mountains. Of old the Iron Mountains connected the Blue Mountains (Ered Luin) of the West to the Red Mountains (Orocarni) of the East, but in the wars between the Valar and Melkor the mountain range was distorted. After the War of Wrath the Iron Mountains were broken and disappeared for a great part of their length. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Iron_Mountains_(Middle-earth)   (3664 words)

She was the oldest child of Boromir, son of Boron, grandson of Bëor the Old, and she had dwelt with her uncle Belemir and aunt Adanel (sister of Hador Lórindol) in the hills of Dorthonion since she was very young. www.theonering.com /docs/6912.html   (2032 words)

Chronology of the Silmarillion But he is called back to Angband, having only partially completed this task. Maedhros despairingly throws himself and his Silmaril into a fiery crevice in the Earth. On the same day the race of Men awake in Hildorien.Morgoth immediately comes to corrupt them by laying upon their hearts a darkness of fear and enmity against the Elves which can never be expunged. mywebpages.comcast.net /mithrandircq/Silmarillion-Chronology.htm   (4235 words)

Creatures of Middle-Earth It was her shape that Half-maia Luthien used to gain entrance to Angband, for Thuringwethil (S. "Woman of the Secret Shadow") lost her powers and her cloak of shaping when Tol-in-Gaurhoth (S. "Isle of Werewolves") fell and Sauron fled, he himself taking the form of a Vampire. This brigand race, with Wolves and werewolves, dared, in the Fourth Age of Stars, to enter the Realm of Beleriand where the Sindarin kingdom of Melian and Thingol stood. While Werewolves possess the intelligence of the Secondborn - and though they can speak, use tools, and cast spells - they remain Wolf-like in their nature. alatosmanveru.freeservers.com /whats_new.html   (12462 words)

Tolkien's Middle-earth: Lesson Plans, Unit Four - Handouts - How Beren Fulfilled His Vow Approaching Angband, the lovers are denied entry by Drauglin's offspring, the immense werewolf Carcharoth, but Lúthien causes the guard to fall into a sleep, allowing her and Beren to enter Morgoth's stronghold. In the most significant such episode, the werewolf Carcharoth clamps his jaws around the hand in which Beren holds the Silmaril, biting it off at the wrist. Beren and Lúthien went through the Gate, and down the labyrinthine stairs; and together wrought the greatest deed that has been dared by Elves or Men. www.houghtonmifflinbooks.com /features/lordoftheringstrilogy/lessons/four/vow.shtml   (12462 words)

Ayya§ - The Silmarillion ( E-Book ) Yet as she journeyed under the Earth and drew towards the east the glow faded and Valinor was dim, and the Valar mourned then most for the death of Laurelin. Their bodies indeed were of the stuff of Earth, and could be destroyed; and in those days they were more like to the bodies of Men, since they had not so long been inhabited by the fire of their spirit, which consumes them from within in the courses of time. Then the Elves smote upon the gates of Angband, and the challenge of their trumpets shook the towers of Thangorodrim; and Maedhros heard them amid his torment and cried aloud, but his voice was lost in the echoes of the stone. forum.ayyas.com /showthread.php?t=2758&page=2&pp=15   (12462 words)

The Races of Middle Earth MOUNTAIN TROLLS: Trolls from the highland regions of Middle-earth. Of the origins of dragons, no tale tells; the first of them to be seen was Glaurung, Father of Dragons, who first issued from Angband in the middle of the First Age.

Fëanor and the Palantiri - THE TOLKIEN FORUM Maybe the Exiles brought them to Middle-earth and used them in order to communicate, though as far as I can recall they weren't much split up by then yet, so perhaps they were going to use them in case they were split up or organised more of a siege against Angband, with several hosts. How come Fëanor left them behind when he pursued Morgoth into Middle Earth - it is strange that he would do so,taking into consideration how much he loved the work of his hands? Being a very powerful tool they would have been very helpful to him and his sons and the wars with Melkor. www.thetolkienforum.com /showthread.php?t=6929   (856 words)

[ Daily Tolkien ] The Captains Crazy of Middle-earth The long-term strategy that he probably devised was to surround Angband on three sides, and to this end the sons of Finarfin established themselves in the Vale of Sirion and the northern heights of Dorthonion. In time the rift between the two groups was partially healed, and the Feanorians migrated to east Beleriand where they established the March of Maedhros, a large and powerful kingdom though its population would have consisted mostly of Sindar who accepted Maedhros as their lord. Finrod eventually extended his kingdom south to include much of west Beleriand, and his kingdom became the largest in all Beleriand. www.freerepublic.com /focus/fr/869714/posts   (4254 words)
