KK 3,308 Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 Yeah just making sure...because it sounds far from the kind of music I imagine you writing.It's a big flashy website for some pretty run-of-the-mill stuff. But again, they're just brief glimpses. Nothing against it of course, just not what I'd personally picture for something like the Silmarillion.TGP says he writes with pen and paper....From what I remember, TGP isn't against just writing with DAW.

Incanus 5,798 Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 Reading The Peoples of Middle-earth, two things that I thought were interesting in the portion dealing with "Durin's Folk":#1 Thorin carried a Oaken shield after the battle of Nanduhirion#2 Angmar was mentioned as being one of the areas Gandalf suspected of an attack occurringAgain not the final draft of Tolkien's writings that was published with the Lord of the Rings Appendices but that reference to Angmar is still an interesting one. Tolkien says that Gandalf thought "The presence of Smaug and the depression of the Men of the North makes an attack that way toward Angmar and against Rivendell likely." But Gandalf was most concerned with Lórien and Rivendell rather than Sauron focusing on the lands of Eriador yet. This seems more likely than a roundabout route to invade Rivendell through Angmar considering Dol Guldur resided hundreds of miles to the south of Angmar. Gandalf's most pressing concern with the quest was A) to establish a dwarven kingdom (to resist the Shadow) and to hopefully destroy Smaug so Sauron could not use him as a weapon, which Gandalf speculates upon in the situation if Erebor had not been re-established or people of Dale had not been there to meet Sauron's armies when he assaulted Rhovanion. "Dragon-fire and savage swords in Eriador, night in Rivendell."Tolkien seems to have at some point even decided that Mount Gundabad was a dwarven stronghold in the past but overtaken by Orcs. This did not end in the final draft of his appendices histories. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
