new sections and features!

Next weeks Hall of Fire Chat

Hail Tolkien Debate fans! Balin and I have put tinder and
flint together to come up with this weekend's Hall of Fire
topic.

It's sure to send up a few sparks! Come in from the cold
and enjoy the fireside glow of The Hall as we kick around
our thoughts and citations.

Special thanks to Barliman chatters Pippin Took, Gil-Estel,
Eldarion, and Pippin Skywalker for their feedback.

Topic: The Power of the One Ring

What was the nature of the power of the One Ring? With as
much 'factual' information you can dig up in The Hobbit, The
Lord of the Rings, and other texts, what can we deduce about
the Ruling Ring? To what extent was the Ring influenced by its
wearer, or vice versa? How is it that some individuals were
able to overcome the Ring, but others succumbed easily? Did
the Ring posses powers of its own? These and other questions
will be asked....do you have an answer?

Time: Saturday, December 25, 3:30 p.m. EST
Place: #thehalloffire; come to Barliman's and type
