With over 12,543 articles of Tolkien goodness!

Welcome to Tolkien Gateway! This is a step in another direction from the Old Tolkien Gateway I, along with those who wish to help contribute, hope to create the largest encyclopedia based on J.R.R. Tolkien's works on the net. You may be a bit confused, seeing as the site is a bit different than most sites. It allows anyone, anywhere, to update any page, instantly. We keep moderators online 24/7 to monitor for spam, but giving users the ability to update mistakes, and add to content, we find the site expands much quicker and gives users the sense of contribution.

Feel free to use the search form on the left to search for anything related to J.R.R. Tolkien, The Lord of the Rings and Middle-earth. The Recent Changes link on the left is also a good way to check out what is getting updated. The All Pages link will give you a good idea at how much content we really have on here. If you find a page not listed, make it! If you find some content you want to add to, add it, alter it, this is your site.

No banners, no popups, no advertisements of any kind.
No "vote for us", no web rings, no slow loading pages.
No memberships, no "please donate"
Just pure J.R.R. Tolkien.

Today's featured article Timeline - This article contains any event that occurred in J.R.R. Tolkien's Middle-earth as well as throughout Arda over the ages. Learn which years Samwise Gamgee became mayor, or when Gandalf first entered Middle-earth.
