Why lego is important to the LoTR franchise

Lego is the world's biggest toy company, making partnerships with many franchises around the world. One of the greatest franchises Lego has partnered with is Lord of the Rings.

The LoTR Lego sets captured the essence of the books and film, while creating it in a format any kid could enjoy. From the wonderful Lego characterizations of each LoTR role, to the close attention to detail captured in each set, Lego LoTR is a masterpiece. It even does the films justice in terms of quality, especially the older sets.

Not only that, but Lego LoTR also had several adaptions into animation and videogames, combining the storytelling of books with the humor of Lego. Lego also made this experience interactive, which multiplied the fun.

Lego has introduced c…

Behind the Fictional World of LOTR

I read LOTR for the first time as a child. Can't really remember if I even finished it, but I do remember all the different kinds of characters. The good and the evil. Just another fantasy, I thought at that time. It was not until I read it again during the pandemic did I realize the value in this book. LOTR is a shadow of Tolkien's own experience with WWI. I can hardly imagine the hardships he went through and his determination in creating this series after seeing all of his friends leave him. At the time when I was reading the book, I was in a quite depressed state. Nothing was working in my life. But then I read about the way Tolkien described nature. He called for attention to the natural sceneries during the Fellowship's hardest time.…

Lotr Viki Turkey Ownership

Herkese selamlar. Ben Eivorr, uzun süredir fandom ile ilgileniyorum. Gördüğüm kadarıyla Lotr Türkiye Wikisi aktifliğini kaybetmiş ve ihmal edilmiş durumda. Bu büyük bir markaya yakışmayacak bir durum. Bu wikiyi yeniden canlandırmak için sahiplenmeye adayım. Şimdiden herkese başarılar diliyorum.

Hello everyone. I'm Eivorr, and I have been involved in fandom for a long time. It seems that the Lotr Türkiye Wiki has lost its activity and has been abandoned. Such actions are not fitting for such a big franchise. I am willing to take ownership of this wiki to revive it. I wish everyone success in this endeavor.

Women's History Month - Women in Tolkien's World

Although the month is officially over, better late than never to blog about this interesting topic.

Many Tolkien fans already know that there are few women in this universe. Nevertheless, quality and quantity are not always linked: that doesn't stop there being very interesting female characters in this vast universe. Let's get to the heart of the matter by introducing these extraordinary women.



  • 1 A powerful and independent elf: Galadriel
  • 2 A neglected woman: Erendis
  • 3 A hobbit who believes in her dreams: Elanor "Nori" Brandyfoot
  • 4 Conclusion


Galadriel is an iconic character in both the books and the movies. Despite the fact that she lived surrounded by brothers, this did not stop her from developing into an independent woman (an elf even). From the…

The Rings of Power: an overall review

The Rings of Power was Amazon's newest addition to The Lord of the Rings franchise. As of writing this, only the first season has been released.

This does contain spoilers.


  • 1 Overall Feelings
    • 1.1 Galadriel and the Elves
    • 1.2 The Dwarves
    • 1.3 The Harfoots
    • 1.4 The Numenorians and the Southlands
    • 1.5 The Orcs
    • 1.6 Conclusion


How did I feel about the show? I felt that, while the show does compress the canon timeline and add characters independent of other works by Tolkien, this show was really well done. I feel that this show was able to accomplish what it set out to do; The world building and action scenes were expertly produced. The cinematography is great and each actor and actress preforms their character to their greatest; They really make the characters com…

Work in Progress

Trying to create a page for the LotR fan film Horn of Gondor under https://lotr.fandom.com/wiki/Category:Fanfilms?from=H

then link the page on Horn of Gondor existing page (about the actual object and it's appearance in canon and adaptations)

Currently I just added the info on this existing object page and linked to the actual movie there, that link needs to move to

a Horn_of_Gondor(fan film) page (under fan films>H), which is what should be linked on the object page, under film> fan film sections (maybe

adding category 'fan film' there too?

The film is about Borondir and his quest, in which the Horn plays an important role. The page on Borondir already mentioned the fan film very briefly.

The fan film page should be linked there as well.

Lomion

I have been writing a story of a time long before the time of Sauron's domination.

The story sets two Maiar falling in love despite the different background they came from.

However, I named them Nimeria and Lomion. I have just found out, after much researching of the Silmarillion, that Lomion turned out to be a name of Maeglin. If I continued with my Maiar named Lomion, would it be alright? Would there be licenses for the name? And how could I distinguish the two apart for my readers' better understanding?

Quotes

“All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.

From the ashes a fire shall be woken,
A light from the shadows shall spring;
Renewed shall be blade that was broken,
The crownless again shall be king.”



-One of my favourite quotes of J.R.R. Tolkien!

I built some LOTR Structures in Minecraft, in Miniature!

Hello! My name is Elvin which ruffly translates into The Friend Of Elves. I really like Tolkiens Universe so I decided to build some of the famouse structures from Middle-Earth in Minecraft but not only that, in Miniature! I hope you enjoy and I know they are really off with the proportions, you'll have to forgive me! 

It didn't take me that long but everything is built by hand (noticeable) and Mordor was the hardest in my opinion and I am kind of disappointed in the result (So much emptiness and only flat ground, I'll work on it...) 

Minas Tirith was a challenge and I know it's not really seven levels as it is but you know, everything can't be perfect!

The Shire is actually just one Hobbit Hole which I'm really proud of and I think it looks …

Original characters and liberites in Amazon's Lord of the Rings

I hate to rain on the parade of Tolkein purists, but since everything about the Second Age in the books reads more like a history or myth book, there's a ton of blank spaces to be filled in. That means that much of the cast is probably going to be made up of original characters not found in Tolkein's books who have stories of their own, which juxtapose with what is found in his books.

For example, there could be a soldier of the The King's men who while he believes that Men are better off independently, distrusts Sauron. And is also lucky enough to be on guard duty at the docks while Ar Pharazon is sailing to the undying lands. Thus saving him from Numenor's destruction.

"Wicked Dwarves" exposition by user Baggins

This text was formerly an article; moved to a blog for its rambling and overextensive nature.


The Wicked dwarves were the few dwarves who fought (or were rumored to have fought) on the side of Morgoth, and later Sauron, or in alliances with Orcs and goblins during the first three ages of the world.

The term may also refer to those dwarves who were viewed with suspicion and viewed as evil or influenced by the Shadow by others (due to gossip, rumors, stories, etc), though were actually on the side of good or at least neutral.

'Treacherous Dwarves' also appear in the 2016 publication Beren and Lúthien.

Better ring protection methods

Over the years I have been thinking on how the fellowship could have done it better and I don't mean using the eagles. I have heard various arguments about why that wouldn't work. Namely, it would give up stealth and the so-called eagles are actually fairly high up on the middle earth hierarchy of beings so the ring is more dangerous in their hands. To avoid making to many assumptions. I will make only these two. 

1. Middle Earth has at least a medieval level of technology

2. Hobbits are among the safest (if not the safest) carriers of the ring. So they will be our ring bearers.

Even with just these two, there are a number of ways to do it safer:

1. Exchange the ring between bearers periodically. This helps in two ways. First, it splits the ri…

"Maps of Arda" exposition by user Roac's Wife (relocated)

The following text was initially written as an article, and has been moved here. The text and images are from user Roac's Wife.


A little while ago I was commissioned to make a number of maps of Arda for an upcoming Atlas of Tolkien.

The maps were to cover all of Arda, from the beginning of time within Tolkien’s legendarium, to the start of the Fourth Age at the end of The Return of the King. In the end the author and I were very pleased with these maps, and all was good to go – but at the very last moment all of the images but one were pulled from the book, for legal reasons. The author was no less disappointed than I was.

I kept them all secret for a long time, but I think now it’s best to put them up here as nothing more than fan artwork. A…

More Info on Tolkein

I've never edited this wiki, but I was looking around and I wanted to give you a piece of information that I couldn't find. So, at school, Tolkien had four friends. Further info is on this video: here at the school in which he grew up. With them, he formed a club called the TCBS which stands for:

  • Tea
  • Club (and)
  • Barrovian
  • Society.

These friends would drink tea in the school library and sometimes at the Barrovian store (hence the name) in Birmingham. They would discuss books/literature and this is almost definitely what inspired the 'Fellowship of the Rings'. Another friend he shared was Robert Gilson (son of the head at the time) who died in the war and there is even more about him here

I hope this helps your wiki and I wish it the best! Any more…

"History of Tolkien Fandom"

This is an exposition of the history of Tolkien fandom, not written by me. It was relocated from the article to a blog because of the text's resemblance to a school essay or journalist commentary.


  • 1 History
    • 1.1 Mainstream and media fans
    • 1.2 Organized Tolkien Fandom
  • 2 Internal categories
    • 2.1 Movies
    • 2.2 Books
    • 2.3 Languages
  • 3 Effects of the films
  • 4 Highly debatable issues
  • 5 Fans today



The major divisions of Tolkien Fandom can best be explained in a chronological context.

Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings (LOTR) was published in 1954 and The Hobbit prelude in 1937, and bootleg paperbacks eventually found their way into colleges in the U.S.A. in the 1960s. The "hippie" following latched onto the book, but a great many did so for possibly misguided reasons; some openly st…

10 Good Reasons why The Lord of the Rings Film Trilogy is better than the Star Wars Film Series

Good Day to You, Fellow Tolkienite! Today I compiled a list of reasons why The Lord of the Rings is better than Star Wars.

  1. The Lord of the Rings won 17 Oscars to Star Wars' 7 (The Return of the King alone won 11, including "Best Picture". No Star Wars film has ever won "Best Picture".).
  2. It is evidenced that fans are more satisfied with LotR and Hobbit films than with Star Wars films, as The Lord of the Rings has a higher average of IMDb ratings than Star Wars (you can calculate for yourself, if you wish at here: https://www.imdb.com/search/title?groups=top_250&sort=user_rating. I also used two lists of Star Wars and Lord of the Rings/Hobbit films respectively, although the Star Wars list was missing Rogue One and Solo: A Star Wars Story.).

On The Issue of Magic in The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit (from a Christian's perspective)

Here is a blog post I wrote on the role of magic in J.R.R. Tolkien's Middle-earth. It is a bit ancient, I must admit; however, here it is, and please tell me your thoughts on it. - J.S. Clingman (talk)

"As a gigantic Tolkien fan and a Christian, I was inevitably confronted by the issue of magic in the Hobbit and Lord of the Rings, which have been rendered as motion pictures ever since the early 2000s, and ever since have been some of the most famous and highest-grossing films in the world.

   Some Christians wonder whether the Lord of the Rings or the Hobbit are fit for the viewing of one who adheres to Christianity on account of the “magic” that is used by Wizards (Istari), powerful Elves, and the like; for it is well known that the Bible i…

About me

Hi, everyone. My name is Lexi, and this is my first blog post. I love LOTR and the Hobbit, well, obviously, if I'm on this page. My favorite characters are Legolas and Eowyn, because they're just plain awesome! I own extended editions of all the movies, and watch them whenever I can. I also have read the hobbit several times since I was 11, although it sucks that Legolas and Tauriel aren't in the book. I am currently listening to the LOTR audiobook, since the book is just so dang hard to read! I am writing a fanfic about a made-of character of mine, Legoriel, Legolas's sister, but I don't know if I'll finish it. FYI, I'll probably change her name before I'm done. I'll be inserting a lot of LOTR pics on this blog, some cool wallpapers, and …

Fellowship of the Ring - Main Antagonist? (Wiki Update)

Sauron is the main antagonist of The Lord of the Rings. He is also the main antagonist in Return of the King, with Gollum as the secondary antagonist and the Witch-King as the tertiary antagonist. However, Saruman is the main antagonist of The Two Towers.

Can anyone inform me who the main antagonist of Fellowship of the Ring is, Sauron or Saruman, to update the wiki? I personally think it is Sauron as the story is more about him and he has a bigger role, like in Return of the King (about his final attack on Middle-earth) and unlike in Two Towers where Saruman has more of a role.

Who is the main antagonist of Fellowship of the Ring, Sauron or Saruman?

Hello guys,

As I see many Tolkien fans on this site, I was thinking whether we would create a Map Game. It works so that at first we post a map and then players in turns make changes and make steps to change the situation. Please do not be overtly implausible.

I guess we should put the Map Game on either Fanon wiki or other fan site as not to "ruin" the encyclopedia look of this site.

A Greatness of Tolkien's writing

Here is an clever excerpt out of The Philosophy of Tolkien: The Worldview Behind The Lord of the Rings by Peter J. Kreeft - which I thought all avid readers of the trilogy might find interesting.

Emboldenings from me, not the author.


"Every story, long or short, has five dimensions. They are usually called its 1) plot, 2) characters, 3) setting, 4) style, and 5) the theme. We could call them, respectively, the story's (1) work, (2) workers, (3) world, (4) words, and (5) wisdom. "Philosophy" means "the love of wisdom". So a story's philosophy is one of its five basic dimensions.

Which "dimension" sold The Lord of the Rings? All five. To be great, a work of art must be great in not just one dimension but all, just as a healthy body needs to be h…

Songs of the Lore

I've always been intrigued by the songs Tolkien came up with for The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings trilogy and often wondered what they would sound like if they were sung aloud. It doesn't seem he would be that musically endowed to be able to come up with unique melodies for each song so it wouldn't surprise me if he never had tunes in mind when writing these songs.

Although I am happy that Peter Jackson had some songs adapted, there's still plenty of songs in the books that have yet to receive musical adaptations. That said, I've gone on a quest to seek out musical renditions of his songs and so far I haven't turned up much. I'll update this blog when I find more as I'm sure the fanbase is far from finished in trying to render these son…

Which death was more satisfying?

For one, we have the supreme evil in the series who is main villain throughout all six films (even though he shared this with Smaug and Azog in The Hobbit), extremely shadowy and menacing, and one of the most evil Dark Lords even more so than Palpatine and Voldemort put together, who is essentially Middle Earth's equivalent to the devil, and is nearly impossible to kill for a number of reasons. If it wasn't for Gollum, he would have won.

For another, we have the most annoying and pointless character, one of the snobbiest and greasiest characters in the series, who wasn't even in the book and was seemingly put there as the Middle Earth equivalent of Jar Jar Binks, only much meaner.
