Supporting Characters in The Lord of the Rings
- Tookish @ 00:27 PST
Hullo Hall of Fire fans! New topic up and ready: supporting characters of LotR. Who's your favorite? Why do you choose this specific character? For the purposes of our chat, we'll define 'main characters' as the Nine Walkers: Frodo, Sam, Merry, Pippin, Aragorn, Gandalf, Boromir, Gimli, and Legolas. Any and all other characters are fair game as 'supporting characters,' although opinions may differ on this definition of terms. Look up a juicy quote or two, or be ready to share with us your impressions and thoughts about your pick. Is there a particular deed or scene that comes to mind? So who's it gonna be? Hama? Ioreth? Prince Imrahil? Ghan-buri-Ghan? This will be a fun chat, so jump on over and chime in. Thanks! Tookish

A Post Card from New Zealand
- Calisuri @ 10:48 PST
From Jincey: Our good friend Thorongil has been in New Zealand since the fourth of April and he's been keeping us posted along his travels, checking in regularly with reports of sites. and sightings! He says he will be back stateside on Thursday the 20th. I know all his friends at Barliman's are eagerly awaiting a report on his trip. Maybe he'll pass aIong a few tidbits of new info. In the meantime, I just received this postcard from Thor (and Tehanu!), so I scanned it to share with everyone. I'll see y'all in Barli's : )
