Lhammas The Lhammas represents an old linguistic view of the languages of Middle-earth which was later dropped, in which all languages belonged to either the Valarin, Oromëan, Aulëan or Melkian phylums. Oromëan is named after the Vala Oromë, and is used for all languages of the Elves, because Oromë taught the Elves language. Aulëan is named after the Vala Aulë, father of the Dwarves, and is the origin of the Khuzdul language. www.worldhistory.com /wiki/L/Lhammas.htm   (297 words)

Radagast (Middle-earth) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The Vala Yavanna forced Saruman to accept Radagast as a companion, which may have been one of the reasons Saruman was contemptuous of him. Radagast was unwittingly used by Saruman to lure Gandalf to Orthanc, where Gandalf was captured. The character Radagast and virtually all references to him (with the exception of the presence of benign Eagles directed by an unseen force) were not used in the film versions of The Lord of the Rings directed by Peter Jackson. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Radagast_(Middle-earth)   (664 words)

Sun (Middle-earth) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Tolkien, the sun of Middle-earth was created by the Vala Aulë; he and his people made a vessel to hold the radiance of the last fruit of Laurelin. The Sun was seen by the Elves as made in memory of Men, and they valued the Moon higher. Morgoth's creatures, the Orcs, feared the Sun, and with the exception of the Uruk-Hai, they did not travel while it was in the sky. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Sun_(Middle-earth)   (385 words)

Middle-earth - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Tolkien insisted that Middle-earth is Earth in several of his letters, in one of them (no. 211) estimating the end of the Third Age to about 6,000 years before his own time. Tolkien translated 'Middle Earth' as Endor (or sometimes Endóre) and Ennor in the Elvish languages Quenya and Sindarin, respectively. Tolkien stated that the geography of Middle Earth was intended to align with that of our real Earth in several particulars. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Middle-earth   (5760 words)

Middle-earth - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The flat Earth was divided into mortal lands (the lands of Men) and immortal lands (the lands of the Valar, whom men believed to be gods).

The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum - A-Z of Middle-earth Yavanna, The Queen of the Earth: Called the 'Giver of Fruits', Yavanna was the Vala whose province was all growing things upon the earth. Déor's great-great-grandfather, Aldor the Old, had hunted out the Dunlendings that had harried the eastern borders of Rohan, and his successors Fréa, Fréawine and Goldwine had enjoyed peaceful reigns because of their ancestor's enterprises.

Wizards.COMmunity Boards - Is there a Middle-Earth Campaign Setting? In rare circumstances, that Vala would choose such a person to be a representative for them in Middle Earth, a sort of lesser equivalent to a Maia, and to that end would grant them a small measure of a Maia's power. I can agree that d20 is not very fitting for Middle Earth, but d20 is my favorite so I would like to a ME CS even if I change a lot of the spells and rules in the PHB. All in all, Middle Earth would be the classiest, richest CS out there. boards1.wizards.com /archive/index.php/t-302050.html   (8887 words)

Others The records of the Eldar hold that these creatures are not in fact Children of Iluvatar as Elves and Men are, but instead creations of the Vala Aule, whom they call Mahal. Lately their alliance and military assistance are sought for as well, as their worth in battle becomes increasingly obvious. The twin mansions of the Naugrim in Ered Luin, Nogrod and Belegost are the usual trading partners of the Fëanorian s - especially of Caranthir, lord of Thargelion, who grew immensely rich on this trade. www.himring.com /beleriand/others.htm   (8887 words)

Morgoth Bauglir [Valar] - www.ezboard.com He was held at bay by the aid of Tulkas, who came late to the party, and the Valar ordered Arda to their pleasing. However, these were busy ordering the new world, creating the mountains, the sky, the earth, the waters - so the fight was not even. When Melkor saw that the other Vala took the forms of beautiful and proud kings and queens, he choose to do the same, but instead he became the incarnation of darkness itself, proud and mighty. p203.ezboard.com /fanoraithilfrm34.showMessage?topicID=6.topic   (8887 words)

The Races of Middle Earth Probably the best known aspect of the Dwarvish character, though, is their strong instinctive skills in the working of metal and stone, no doubt derived from Aulë their maker, the Vala whose province these things were. In ancient times, they were said to have preferred working with copper and iron, though in later days they wrought gold and silver, and the mithril they found in the Mines of Khazad-dûm. The Dwarves kept themselves apart from the other races; their language, Khuzdul, was a closely guarded secret, and they told their true names to none but themselves (all the Dwarf-names in Tolkien are in the tongues of Elves or Men, not true Dwarf names). www.angelfire.com /realm/teralpunir/races/dwarves.html   (856 words)

The Astronomy of Middle At this point Arda (by definition primarily the earth but also including the entire solar system) was temporarily lit with the light of two Great Lamps, one set in the north of Middle-earth, and the other in the south. The celestial relationship between Orion and Sirius is used by Tolkien in some of his more obscure writings as a symbol of the close relationship between the warriors Telumehtar [Telimektar, Daimord], son of the Vala Tulkas, and Ingil [Gil, Gilweth, Githilma], son of the Elf King Inwë [Ingwë]. Tolkien reflected that while he was revising his mythology he was "inclined to adhere to the flat earth and the astronomically absurd business of making the sun and moon. www.physics.ccsu.edu /Larsen/astronomy_of_middle.htm   (6230 words)

Elf (Middle-earth) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Elves are described as the fairest and wisest of all creatures in Middle-earth. Elves were not "perfect", nor did they represent angels among Men (that would probably be the Valar and Maiar, especially the Istari), but despite their faults, they always rejected the evil of the mighty Vala Melkor, whom they named Morgoth, "the Dark Enemy of the World" (with the possible exception of Maeglin, who betrayed Gondolin). Elves have few children though, as a rule (Fëanor and Nerdanel were an exception, though; they had seven sons), and there are relatively sizable intervals between each child; for they are soon preoccupied with other pleasures; their libido wanes and they focus their interests elsewhere, like the arts. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Elves_(Middle-earth)   (4332 words)

Beleriand MUSH The action of Beleriand specifically takes place in the First Age (as told in The Silmarillion and The History of Middle-earth series), when the good guys were stronger and brighter, when the bad guys were bigger and badder--in short, this is Middle-earth at its height! Beleriand is a virtual environment and game where we have tried to recreate the world of J.R.R. Tolkien's Middle-earth books. You are invited to join in the action, by creating a character which represents a citizen of the world of Middle-earth, such as an Elf, Dwarf, Man, or Orc, and interacting with other players portraying other roles in the same environment. www.talkaboutabook.com /group/rec.arts.books.tolkien/messages/213493.html   (4332 words)

Varda - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Tolkien's fantasy universe, Middle-earth, Varda Elentári is a Vala, wife of Manwë. The Valar, being divine beings below a greater, more ultimate Creator, Ilúvatar, are thought of as being the Middle-earth equivalent of saints and angels; it has therefore been suggested that Varda, in her role as the most loved and prayed-to Vala, may be an equivalent of the Virgin Mary in Tolkien's own Catholic faith. Varda created the stars before the Valar descended into the world, and later with the dews from the vats of Telperion she made the constellations, most significantly The Sickle of the Valar (The Big Dipper). en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Varda   (335 words)

Guide W Elves called them Istari, and under that name the greater part of their deeds in Middle-earth is recorded. Men and Elves called these ancient Worms of Morgoth Dragons and they were among the most fearful of beings in all the histories of Middle-earth. In most of the woodlands of Middle-earth, east of the Misty Mountains that had not been wholly consumed by the evils of Morgoth and Sauron, lived the remnant of the Avari, the people who had refused the Great Journey to the West. www.btinternet.com /~p_cooper/guide_w.html   (2026 words)

Gandalf For much of the time, Olorin dwelled in Lorien, the gardens of the Vala Irmo for which the woods of Lothlorien in Middle-earth were named. But Olorin seems to have been most closely associated with the Valar Manwe and Varda, and it was they who sent Olorin to Middle-earth around the year 1000 of the Third Age. Olorin was the last of the five Wizards to arrive at the Grey Havens in northwestern Middle-earth. www.tuckborough.net /gandalf.html   (7324 words)

Lhammas - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The Lhammas represents an old linguistic view of the languages of Middle-earth which was later dropped, in which all languages belonged to either the Valarin, Oromëan, Aulëan or Melkian phylums. This entire etymology was dropped as Tolkien further revised the linguistic history of his world, and cannot be applied to the later languages of Middle-earth. Melkian is named after the fallen Vala Melkor or Morgoth, and is the origin of the Black Speech of the Orcs and other evil beings. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Lhammas   (330 words)
