Member of the Month: an interview with Lanfear
How did you find CoE? I’m not entirely sure, I’ve practically moved in and I’ve forgotten how I got here. I’m guessing via the wonderful world of Google. What are your duties here at CoE? I’m a Leader of the Realm of Nienna, so I mostly spend my time hugging people. It’s a hard job,…

Why the Weepers Enjoy Wool
As you wander about the forums, you may come across a Nienna member who has the habit of doing something you might say is rather odd: eating socks! They may even have gone as far as placing a line of text in their signature that says they are a proud member of the sock-eating club.…

An Interview with Magoleth
The Realm of Nienna decided to ask an older fan’s thoughts on life and LotR. As Magoleth has the unique distinction of being the oldest member of the Realm of Nienna (although “only by nine days” can usually be heard from the direction of Rosearialelven at that point) she was our willing accomplice in bringing…
