you will be forever shamed

the eye as sauron's symbol is delightfully ironic. its supposed to convey that he sees all, yet in the end he is utterly blind to the one thing that matters. in this way, its much like morgoth's iron...

the power of the ring is the power of command. to use the ring is to be a tyrant. it allows the ringbearer to bend others to his will. the last alliance was barely able to defeat the forces that...

this thread is now about turtles

1. i agree the sleigh was ridiculous, but i didnt think radagast was portrayed unfairly. we know that he has an excessive love of nature, that saruman holds him in contempt and that tolkien deems him...

i think hunter should be able to use bows

of course, there are no true allies among tolkien's evil doers. theyre our for themselves by nature. obviously, saruman perceives himself as sauron's rival in his grand plans (notice the similarity...

also having this problem. shutting down firewall and running as administrator didnt help

in a way thats entirely typical of evil in tolkien, sauron's invocation of the lidless eye is deliciously ironic. as a symbol, it suggests that sauron is all-seeing, but in the end, he is blind to...

this is the lie that sauron told ar-pharazon. when a mortal goes to the undying lands, they die, faster in fact because they cannot handle the bliss of aman. not a bad way to die, but they die...

the idea of a class which fights with words is perfect for the tolkien world. if you think of animations as being metaphorical it fits fine (and what class doesnt have some ridiculous looking...

i gave the op negative rep

my opinion is the only correct one. if you do not share it you are simply mistaken. soon you will realize that you are wrong and i am right.

help! im being repressed

now we see the violence inherent in the system

unlimited money supply leads to significant inflation. pretty simple really

death by overload of bliss. not a bad way to go

remember that tolkien was very thorough about placing his own writings in the context of the secondary world. the silmarillion is bilbo's translations of elvish histories, and the elves arent exactly...

the witch king has poor westernesse mitigation

lvl 70 second age huh?
