Ardalambion

Tolkien One of the most comprehensive sites about Tolkien's invented languages that you are likely to find on the net. NOTE: When I write á, é, í, ó, ú, I hope you see the vowels a, e, i, o, u with an accent on your screen. Similarly, I hope you see the same vowels with a circumflex when I write â, ê, î, ô, û (e.g. in Barad-dûr). When I write ä, ë, ö I hope you see a, e, o with a diaeresis (two dots over): Manwë, Eärendil, Eönwë. Introduction: Why I made the siteAnd who am I anyway? The tongues of Arda: Quenya - the Ancient Tongue (see also Course)Sindarin - the Noble Tongue (sorry, I have no Sindarin course to go with the Quenya course above!)

The Encyclopedia of Arda. The Encyclopedia of Arda is a personal project - a tribute to and a celebration of the works of J.R.R.

The Encyclopedia of Arda

Tolkien. The site is evolving into an illustrated hypertext encyclopedia of Tolkien's realms and peoples. It already contains about four thousand entries, and we're constantly adding new entries and expanding existing ones. Inside the encyclopedia The Encyclopedia of Arda contains thousands of articles covering topics from J.R.R. You'll also find a selection of interactive tools, including a chronicle to help you explore Tolkien's fictional history, and calendar to translate dates and events, a lexicon of names, a glossary of old and rare words, and much more. Context and approach The content of the Encyclopedia is written in the same context as Tolkien himself used; he presented himself simply as a translator, rather than originator of the tales.

About the name Arda Special thanks But the real Special Thanks, though, belong to the memory of J.R.R. Book Recommendations « Urban Fantasy. Here are some urban fantasy recommendations.

Book Recommendations « Urban Fantasy

It’s not meant to be a comprehensive list of books in the genre, or even necessarily of all the urban fantasy books I’ve enjoyed. And I may not always list every book by a particular author (or even every book in a series). The books on this list are some of my favorites, the ones that I think feature really interesting characters or unique worlds. Many of them have romantic subplots and a few have some steamy scenes, but the focus is still firmly on action and character development. This is very much a work in progress.
