Daily Trivia Question
- Gamgee @ 11:17 PST
Another Tolkien scholar has answered my question today, but apparently this one was not so easy as the others, because I recieved only one correct response. The answer was "Oropher", and the answer was again given by Mormegil, Mormegil is one sharp sword, eh folks?
Here is today's question: "Who was Lord of Morthond at the time of the War of the Ring?"
Email me with your answers, and as always the first correct response will be posted here tomorrow. Good Luck!

Gandalf the Grey Has a New Hall of Fire Topic!
- Tookish @ 20:21 PST
I awake from my stupor and realize I've been paid a visit by Gandalf the Grey. After smacking me about a bit with a rather large trout, he dropped this bit of parchment in my lap and admonished me to make it public post haste. So here goes! From the Greyhame himself: "What if characters from Middle Earth were living with us now today? How would history be different if say, Aragorn was running for president? What would it be like having Elrond as your High School guidance counsellor? Imagine watching a 4th of July show hosted by Gandalf. Would the world be a better place, or would it be worse? So join Gandalf, Tookish, Balin and the rest of the Hall of Fire staff on Saturday, February 26th, 5:30 EST. Be sure to bring your thinking caps and be prepared for what should be a fun and less serious Hall of Fire. Special thanks to Kili for this week's topic!' Yep, bring your dreams and your sense of humor to this one, and I'll get this fishy smell off me in the meantime. Trout? Fiddlesticks!! P.S. Got any Hall of Fire topic ideas? Send 'em in!!!

What's it all About?
- Tookish @ 15:02 PST
Greetings visitors! Gandalf wanted to drop you a line to tell you a bit about the internet's best Tolkien chat! From the desktop of the Wizard himself: "Hullo fellow Ringers! Do you have any Tolkien topics or ideas that you just can't seem to figure out? Ever wonder why Cirdan is the only elf mentioned with a beard? Or what happened to the rings of the Nazgul? Then come on in to Barliman's chatroom! If trivia is your thing, and you think you can stump the Barliman regulars, then come on in and try! Whatever is on your mind, you are welcome to Barliman's." We talk about the movies being filmed in New Zealand all the time, too. Curious about the latest Spy Reports or news items? Perhaps you've found out something yourself you'd like to pass along to the higher ups.... Interested in meeting site founders Xoanon, Tehanu, Calisuri or Corvar? They frequent the chat regularly, as well as a host of Tolkien enthusiasts from around the world. We hope to see you soon! If you have trouble connecting please email me and we'll take care of you. *Tookish raises his mug of 1420 and says, "Cheers!"
