1) How did you find CoE, and what drew you to it? Ringhilwen: Oh, it’s probably a long, torturous tale…full of suspense…and intrigue! Intrigue and suspense! Trignifty: …All I did was run through a search engine. And the little ‘join our site!’ thing was taunting me. Man, I wanna trade. Ringhilwen: at least you remember….I…

The Witch-King of Angmar is the Lord of the Nazgûl, leader of the Black Riders. (Those would be the guys dressed in black sheets shrieking loudly at everything and nothing.) He is a very powerful wizard, former King who fell for Sauron’s trick with the Rings of Power and is now in his service. On…

The Witch-King was once a man, but became the Lord of the Nazgûl and Sauron’s most dreadful servant after being corrupted by one of the Nine Rings of Power. It is presumed that the nine Nazgûl, of whom the Witch-King was one, were the Lords of the Númenorean race and it was to these that…

-an interview with NenyaGold How did you find CoE? I typed Tolkien into Search and up came CoE! What are your favourite areas of the site? The RPG forum is my first love, having been a writer for most of my life. But I enjoy the Journals, The Prancing Pony, the Gallery and my Realm…

In the book version of The Two Towers when Faramir’s company stumbled upon Frodo and Sam, he let them go without too much of a struggle. In the movies he went as far as taking them to Osgiliath. He was portrayed this way for a reason. The question is, what is that reason? His brother,…

Debate 1 Okay, the issue is Peter Jackson’s decision to give Arwen the part that in the book belonged to Glorfindel. On the one hand, no movie is exactly like the book it’s based on. Certain things must be altered in order to make a good movie. Giving Arwen a larger role added to the…
