The Age of the Ring, a Lord of the Rings UK fansite Rohan Rohan was the territory of the Rohirrim, a people of herdsmen and farmers on the northern borders of Gondor in Middle-earth. Well-known for their horses and cavalry, they were Gondor's most important ally. [edit] Background In the 1200s of the Third Age, the Kings of Gondor made close alliances with the Northmen of Rhovanion, a people akin to the Three Houses of the Edain (later the Dúnedain) from the First Age. In the 2000s, a remnant tribe of such Northmen that called itself the Éothéod moved from the valleys of Anduin to the north west of Mirkwood, clearing out what remained of the recently defeated witch kingdom of Angmar, east of the Misty Mountains. Ted Nasmith - The Oathtaking of Cirion and Eorl Later, in 2509, Cirion the Steward of Gondor sent summons to the Éothéod for aid in stopping a combined invasion of Men from the north east of Middle-earth, and Orcs from the Misty Mountains. [edit] History Edoras The rule of the Stewards of Gondor was now over. [edit] Description
64 Things Every Geek Should Know - laptoplogic.com The term ‘geek’, once used to label a circus freak, has morphed in meaning over the years.

A geek is one who isn’t satisfied knowing only the surface facts, but instead has a visceral desire to learn everything possible about a particular subject. A techie geek is usually one who knows a little about everything, and is thus the person family and friends turn to whenever they have a question. 1.

The Featured Creature : Showcasing Unique and Unusual Wildlife Smoke bombs - MS explosives POTASSIUM PERMANGANATE + GLYCERINE Mix a 1:2 ratio of potassium permanganate and glycerine in a matchbox, shut the box and shake. The delay will depend on The temperature of the day and grain size of the P.P crystals, the hotter the day and smaller the crystals the shorter the delay. After the delay the box will fizz and emit a cloud of white smoke. POTASSIUM NITRATE + SUGAR Mix equal parts potassium nitrate and sugar in a metal or glass bowl, this is than carefully melted over a hot plate. This molten mix is poured into the container (I’ve found toilet rolls are a good size) , a fuse is inserted and it is left to set. AMMONIUM NITRATE + NEWSPAPER Probably the easiest and most effective of the homemade bombs is this one. NITROCELLULOSE + PVC SOLVENT In a bowl add some nitrocellulose, to this powder add just enough PVC solvent/cement to bind the powder together, mould this mix into the shape desired and let dry.

The Hobbit: The Official Movie Blog Tolkien's annotated map of Middle-earth discovered inside copy of Lord of the Rings A recently discovered map of Middle-earth annotated by JRR Tolkien reveals The Lord of the Rings author’s observation that Hobbiton is on the same latitude as Oxford, and implies that the Italian city of Ravenna could be the inspiration behind the fictional city of Minas Tirith.
