	Weapons of Middle-earth - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		It was crafted by the Elves of Gondolin, who not only made it a valuable weapon, also a feared one, particularly among traditional enemies of the Elves: Orcs and other evil creatures of Middle-earth.
		This should not be taken as a canonical and wholly accurate record of Tolkien's literary Middle-earth, but as of Jackson's cinematic version of it.
		Since her character was given an action scene in the movie version, it was deemed necessary to give her a weapon and to provide the weapon with a back story like many of the fictional weapons described in the original novel.

	Sting (Middle-earth) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Tolkien's fantasy universe of Middle-earth, Sting was an Elvish knife or dagger made in Gondolin in the First Age.
		Although it was just a dagger by the standard of Men or Elves, it made an excellent sword for a Hobbit.
		Sting was a magical weapon used by Bilbo Baggins in The Hobbit, which he found in a troll-hoard along with Glamdring and Orcrist.

	The Global Threat of Small Arms and Light Weapons -- A Primer
		A ban on small arms and light weapons is unrealistic, given the widespread acceptance of their legitimacy in the hands of militaries and some police forces.
		The 15 members of the European Union, meanwhile, made a political commitment to prevent illicit trafficking in conventional weapons in June 1997, and the "Group of 8" industrialized nations (which includes Russia) is considering the adoption of an international agreement along the lines of the OAS convention.
		If the harmful impact of light weapons proliferation is viewed as a violation of humanitarian law, there is some scope for an international convention to curb their misuse.

		Arms in Middle Earth: Weapons and Their Effect on Characters.
		Weapons bonuses are applicable to a character's prowess in nearly all cases; the exception being for Lava Flow, Earth-tremors and the traps, Forgotten Tome and Lost Scrolls.
		This weapon is a must for dwarven decks; a major item which in the hands of a dwarf earns 4 MPs and +4 to prowess to a maximum of nine, which simply means you should not have Thrain wield it.

	The UnMuseum - The Hollow Earth
		In 1846 the discovery of an extinct woolly mammoth frozen in ice in Siberia was used by Marshall Gardner as evidence of a hollow earth.
		Halley also suggested that the interior of the Earth was populated with life and lit by a luminous atmosphere.
		In addition to this kind of a hollow-earth there may be a "hollow Mars." A mars rock discovered in the antarctic suggests that bacteria may have, and might continue to, exist underground on the red planet.

	Medieval Weaponry
		While the castle was, arguably, the most formidable weapon of medieval warfare, generally when we think of weapons we think of something much smaller, movable, and able to wreak havoc and death on an opponent.
		During the early 14th century, the course of weapons technology was forever changed with the introduction of gunpowder, which made possible the development of cannons and guns.
		Consequently, while the castle played a key role in the deaths of many people during the Middle Ages, it falls into a category of its own and will not be included in this discussion of medieval weaponry.

	AllRefer.com - Persian Gulf Wars (Middle Eastern History) - Encyclopedia
		No weapons of mass destruction, however, were found, leading to charges that U.S. and British leaders had exaggerated the Iraqi biological and chemical threat in order to justify the war.
		A December declaration by Iraq that it had no weapons of mass destruction was generally regarded as incomplete and uninformative, but by Jan., 2003, UN inspectors had found no evidence of forbidden weapons programs.
		Continued resistance to weapons inspections led to bombing raids against Iraq, and trade sanctions imposed on Iraq remained in place, albeit with an emphasis on military-related goods until the second Gulf conflict.

	Middle-earth
		Tolkien's mythological tales of Middle-earth are meant to be taken, fictitiously, as an ancient history of the Earth, particularly of Europe, from several thousand years before the lands took their present shape.
		These are the Lord of the Rings Roleplaying Game from Decipher Inc.[?] and the Middle Earth Role Play game (MERP) from Iron Crown Enterprises.
		It is consistently misspelled as 'Middle Earth' by journalists.

	The Lord of the Rings: Weapons and Warfare Review
		In closing, this is however a very good reference volume on Middle Earth weapons and their manufacture, somewhat lessened by the unnecessary and confusing nature of the Middle-earth historical narrative.
		Having been given this book as a Christmas present, I eagerly set about reading it in its entirety.As a lover of all types of weapons and arms, and written facts about the same, I was looking forward to the pictures and descriptions from Middle Earth, which I hoped to find here.
		In an attempt to give more substance to his work, he unsuccessfully tries to marry the true history of Middle Earth, as found in the books of Tolkien with his narrative, while pandering to the historical and other inaccuracies of the movies.

	EN World - Morrus' D&D / d20 News & Reviews Site - Gunpowder Works on Middle Earth
		Simple commonplace magic seems to be fairly common in middle earth; many of the toys handed out at Bilbo's party are described as "obviously magical," and Gandalf seems to have a predisposition for magic relating to fire (on numerous levels).
		Middle Earth gunpowder weapons would have been even worse for predictability and usefulness.
		Seems to me that the humans of Middle Earth were just about the same as humans of the real world.

	: I Adab-nan-Falas Library : Concerning the Elves of Middle Earth and Their Arms
		The main focus will be upon the Elves of Middle Earth, the Elves of Teleri origin, following their arms and armour through times and places, and in a lesser degree upon Noldor, with whom Telerin fates were interwoven in Middle Earth.
		Despite the mixing of the Elven races, the weapons of Mirkwood remained primarily Nandorin, though enriched by the skill of Sindar.
		Yet if they used other weapons, such as spears (and chances are they would at certain situations - a spear after all was one of the original Elven weapons used for hunt) or bows, then they would have round shields, like the rest of Gondolindrim.

	Music in Middle-Earth
		The evolution of poetry and song in the Middle Ages was away from unrhymed rhythmical alliterative songs toward the metrical rhymed lines of modern poetry and music.
		Because the notation for the songs in Gregorian chant from the Middle Ages does not indicate the lengths of notes, it is not known exactly how any particular song was sung.
		The flutes were most likely recorders or "blockflutes," the flute most commonly used in the Middle Ages for the accompaniment of dance and song.

	One Risus to Rule Them All...
		Such is the case of Sauron, greatest of the Maiar on Middle-earth who was driven back again and again over the ages and who ever seeks to increase his power and influence over the world.
		The Balrogs too were driven beneath the earth and almost all destroyed save one or two.
		The effect of an elven blade may be more baneful to evil creatures than a dwarven blade due to the “purer” nature of the elven spirit.

		The two friends met in the middle of the battlefield and leaned on their swords and were glad.

		But then he laughed and threw his sword into the air and sang as he caught it, for the standard of Aragorn was revealed on the foremost ship.

	GURPS Rules for Middle-earth Campaigns
		It was originally created as a large variant of the Elven long dagger, and in turn has strongly influenced the short swords of Middle-earth.
		A long weapon similar to lance, except that instead of the point it has a wide, long double blade, similar in size and appearance to the greatsword.
		The Asdriags use it from the horseback, ruding along the flanks of the enemy troops and cutting them, but it can efficiently be used on foot.

	The Grey Havens - Middle-earth: Magic in Middle-earth
		There are examples of spontaneous creation of fire, songs of power, words of command, miraculous healing, runes of power, and weapons with special abilities.
		Yes, there is a working force in Middle-earth that is supernatural; meaning effects which cannot be achieved by normal, everyday methods.
		Yet, for all this, Tolkien used magic sparingly and for good reason; if used too much it is no longer special or supernatural.

		Otherwise, you'll need to enlist the help of a friend playing as a dwarf character if you want to find out what the runes say.
