The First Age According to Sauron
Author’s note: I originally wrote this for a school assignment and, though I’ve changed a few things, it’s fairly much the same. We had to fill ‘gaps’ and ‘silences’ and give a ‘bad’ character a sympathetic point of view. For this reason, parts of the article, especially regarding Melian, may not have much book evidence,…

Théoden: Film Profile
Théoden’s Movie Profile is left. His left, obviously, not your left. Why? Well, whenever he does something irritably stupid (attempt to chase off Gandalf, panic and despair over a bunch of measly Uruk-hai, not help Gondor, dump Merry, die…) he is shown from his left.

There are quite a few Dwarves mentioned in Tolkien’s works, however, the strongest and most renowned of these appear to be of the line of Durin, the greatest of the seven fathers of the Dwarves created by Aulë.

Top Ten Most Peaceful Places in Arda ~ the serious version
10. Rohan. You can ride the plains on horses all day; though watch out for Éowyn’s cooking. Rohan is a very simple place, yet filled with serenity. 9. Amon Sûl (Weathertop). It would be the perfect place for stargazing, and relatively quiet… as long as the Witch-king isn’t there! Definitely a place for peace. 8.…
