| I'm especially interested in Arda's geography and the workings of "magic" in Tolkien's universe, both of which I would like to write essays on, time permitting.

| Did you know that Tolkien ''never'' said that the [[Orocarni]] were inhabited by the four eastern clans of the [[Dwarves]]? Based on what Tolkien Gateway once said on this subject (across many articles), I used to think he must have said that at some point. I didn't realize the truth until I got my hands on ''[[The History of Middle-earth]]'' series and confirmed for myself that he never did. This is but one example of something I've personally removed from this website (and many other editors have removed far more than me!).

| |
| Please don't add [[fanon]] to Tolkien Gateway. There's enough complexity and beauty in Tolkien's work to fill volumes without personal additions from us editors.
