Is there a meaning behind Galadriel's crystal necklace? I've been wanting to buy one but I wanna know first what it symbolizes.

Apparently it’s set a couple hundred years before The Fellowship Of The Ring and will focus on Helm Hammerhand, what are your thoughts??

Greetings to all players of this incredible game!

The North of Middle Earth is under a grave threat from a dark enemy! Is there anyone left who is still fighting to protect the innocent people of the North? If so, then step forward as the skilled Ranger, Eradan, the mighty Dwarf, Farin, or the valiant Elf Mage, Andriel, and hold back the forces of Agandaur!

Hello all LOTR gamers! If there's anyone out there who still owns this game, lets play it to keep it alive! I've been playing it since its release (and still do) and I enjoy every second of it. Personally, I would hate to see its servers go under like many other Lord of the Rings games, and I was wondering if anyone is still playing the multiplayer. So let's pull out our arrows, sharpen our axes, and cast a few spells because the War of the North continues!

There are lots of characters here, half of which weren't in the movies. Like who is Melkor. Where do all these characters appear, in the books or in some other movies I didn't know about.

Tbh, the best thing for a Tolkien nerd is finding someone who also likes Tolkien. I was at a party yesterday and heard the words lotr and Silmarillion and nerded out for like 20 min. Made my year.

So I was trying to compare the ages of Dumbledore and Gandalf, because both lived to be really old. Dumbledore lived to be 116, but we don’t know how old Gandalf is. The books give us the impression that he’s been around for a long time, and if he hadn’t died in battle the way he did, he probably would have kept living, but because the story doesn’t use real years, and has their own timeline, we don’t have an age on him. Bilbo was over 100, and Gandalf is older than him, but while we know he died in 3019, there is no official year of his birth, so we can’t even do math. My question is: How old was he? Is there an actual answer that I just don’t know about? Pls tell me.

I bought it on the apple tv, but its like a completely different plot. Thorin and Azog are alive, and theres a shapeshifter. Could someone tell me what the movie is, in essence, talking about. Is this a summary of the other 2 movies, or what.

I’d like to see more Dwarves, and more Dwarven culture. I like elves and hobbits, but honestly I feel like Dwarves could use a bit more screen time, and we could see them more in their prime.

I’d like to perhaps see at least a glimpse of Valinor, just to see what it’s like in film.

Honoring Sir Christopher Lee on what would have been his Ninety - Ninth Birthday.

I believe that at the time of the LoTR movies happened there were around 3 rings remaining, and that Sauron had possession of them and that they tried to make a deal with Dain Ironfoot for them, but he refuses. Just wondering what happens to the remaining rings after the events of the movies, if anyone could tell me that'd be cool.

Well, i already know why, im just asking your opinions

In the book they say that word once, and Azog was a goblin, so why did they do that?

So when the Valar sent the Istari east to Middle Earth, the two blue wizards, Alatar and Pallando, are believed to have gone East in an attempt to thwart Sauron’s influence in those regions. However Tolkien implied that they failed, and ended up starting cults.

So in the Fourth Age, with Sauron gone, is it possible that one or both of them could become the new Dark Lord(s)? I don’t think they immediately could have risen to power, especially as long as Aragorn and most of the other Fellowship members were still alive, but perhaps during the reign of one of Elessar’s descendants?

What are your thoughts?

The Mouth of Sauron's comment about how it takes more then a broken sword to be king, may have been to mock Aragorn... but he's right. As George RR Martin once said "Ruling is hard. This was maybe my answer to Tolkien, whom, as much as I admire him, I do quibble with. Lord of the Rings had a very medieval philosophy: that if the king was a good man, the land would prosper. We look at real history and it’s not that simple. Tolkien can say that Aragorn became king and reigned for a hundred years, and he was wise and good. But Tolkien doesn’t ask the question: What was Aragorn’s tax policy? Did he maintain a standing army? What did he do in times of flood and famine? And what about all these orcs? By the end of the war, Sauron is gone but all of the orcs aren’t gone – they’re in the mountains. Did Aragorn pursue a policy of systematic genocide and kill them? Even the little baby orcs, in their little orc cradles?"

Well, I think I know a way for how Amazon's adaptation could solve this. We see flashbacks and exposition of Aragorn's education in Rivendell. We see him studying at least 5 languages, history, literature, mathematics, science, craftsmanship, architecture, riding, fighting, dance, and politics. All were required education for any heir to the throne of a kingdom. And this shows to us and other characters, that Aragorn is qualified in every possible way.
