'''Maeglin''' was an [[Elves|Elf]], the son of [[Eöl]] the [[Dark Elf]] and [[Aredhel]] daughter of [[Fingolfin]]. He lived in the [[First Age]] of [[Middle-earth]] and was a lord of [[Gondolin]], chief of the [[House of the Mole]].

==History==

===Early History===

Aredhel had left Gondolin to wander through [[Beleriand]], and in the woods of [[Nan Elmoth]] she met [[Eöl]], and stayed with him, eventually giving birth to Maeglin. The child grew up hearing tales of Gondolin, the Hidden City and his uncle, Turgon, most importantly that he had no heir to the throne, thus the idea of leaving the dark places of Nan Elmoth was born in his mind. Years later Aredhel left Eöl and she took her son (who stole his father's sword, [[Anguirel]]) with her, both of them returning to Gondolin. Eöl had followed her, and in judgment before [[Turgon]] he attempted to kill Maeglin with a poisoned dart, but hit Aredhel instead. She died, and Eöl was cast down to his death from the city walls, under Maeglin's eyes.

He was now an orphan, but Turgon held him in honor, and Maeglin both learned and taught much. He became an elven lord held in high esteem, even leading his own [[House of the Mole]]. He found rich lodes of metals in the [[Echoriath]] surrounding the city, and forged weapons of steel stronger than had been seen before. His mine in the Echoriath was named ''[[Anghabar]]'', Iron-Mine. In the [[Nirnaeth Arnoediad]], "Battle of Unnumbered Tears", Maeglin refused to remain behind as regent, and went forth to battle with Turgon proving valiant at need, though he was wise in council as well. The seventh and final gate of Gondolin, the [[Gate of Steel]], was Maeglin's creation.

Even though he was one of the mighty of Gondolin, he most desired Turgon's daughter [[Idril]] who was his first cousin. But there was no hope for him, as the "[[Eldar]] wedded not with kin so near". More over, Idril perceived an evil coming from him and for as long as Gondolin existed, she avoided him. Thus the love inside Maeglin's heart turned to darkness and though he had neither her nor the kingship of Gondolin, he endured it in silence, waiting for an opportunity to seize them both.

===The Fall of Gondolin===

When [[Tuor]] came, carrying [[Ulmo]]'s warning of the danger to Gondolin, Maeglin sat on the right hand of Turgon and argued against Tuor. Tuor's marriage with Idril further incensed Maeglin, who rebelled against Turgon and Tuor. Later, seeking after metals, Maeglin defied Turgon's order to stay within the mountains, and was captured by [[Orcs]] and brought to [[Angband]]. [[Morgoth]] promised both Gondolin and Idril in return for the location of the hidden city, thus luring Maeglin into the greatest treachery done in the [[Elder Days]]. He gave him a token that would allegedly keep him safe from the sack.

Maeglin returned to Gondolin saying nothing about his encounter, but many people noticed a change. Most thought it was for the better, though Idril suspected something and began work on [[Idril's secret way]]. He managed to turn some of the weaker lords, such as [[Salgant]] and the roguish to his side. When the hosts of Morgoth surrounded the city, Maeglin counseled Turgon against flight, and because of his place in the King's heart he swayed him to his advantage. As the battle over Gondolin took place, Maeglin tried to kill [[Eärendil]] and take Idril for himself. But Tuor caught up with him and they fought upon the walls of the city. Maeglin lost and he was thrown down to his death.

==Etymology==
''Maeglin'' means "sharp glance" in [[Sindarin]], a name which he received from his father when he was twelve. It is formed by the union of ''[[maeg]]'', which translates as "sharp" or "piercing", "penetrating" and ''[[glîn]]'', meaning "gleam", "glint" (of eyes). At birth, Aredhel gave Maeglin the [[Amilessë|mother-name]] of ''[[Lómion]]'', meaning "Child of Twilight" in [[Quenya]]. It comes from ''[[lómë]]'', a noun that translates as "dusk", "twilight" and also "night".<ref>{{S|Appendix}}</ref>

Within the pages of this sourcebook, you'll find out about the Eastern Realms and the Men who dwell there, including the Easterlings and the Variags of Khand.

Once again, you must choose which side you serve and battle for the fate of Middle-earth.

''A Shadow in the East'' contains background information, playable scenarios, painting guides, and terrain tutorials.

:'''Background Information:''' These pages explore some of the details about the Eastern Realms, including some of their history along with maps. Find out how the Easterlings and warriors of Khand came to participate in The War of The Ring. Also, throughout the book, there are the lists of Forces you will need to play each scenario.

:'''Scenarios:''' The scenario pages link together into a campaign that allows you to play through the key events of the history of the East. As the Good player, you can take control of Gondorians, Rohirrim, or Dwarves and make your stand. As the Evil player, you lead the Easterlings or the Khandish warriors in the name of Sauron -- under the guise of Khamûl, second among the Ringwraiths. There are eight scenarios in all.

:'''Painting:''' As you travel through the story, the book will help you collect and paint most of the models that you'll need to play A Shadow in the East. Detailed guides cover the techniques you'll need to apply fantastic finishes swiftly to your models. The sourcebook contains seven separate painting guides.

:'''Terrain:''' A Shadow in the East also shows you how to build most of the terrain you need to play the scenarios, including an Easterling encampment and temple. By the time you''ve reached the end of this book, you''ll not only have explored the Eastern Realms, but you'll also have built up a substantial collection of models and terrain that you can use to play all manner of other battles. This book shows you how to build almost a half-dozen different pieces of terrain.

This 48-page supplement is a great companion to ''The Lord of The Rings Strategy Battle Game''. Full of excellent hobby content, ''A Shadow in the East'' will keep you and your friends in the world of Middle-earth for months at a time.

'''''Mio, min Mio''''' ("Mio, my Mio"; published in English as ''Mio, my Son'') is a Swedish language children's book by [[Astrid Lindgren]]. The book has been described as a work in the genre [[wikipedia:High fantasy|High fantasy]].<ref>John-Henri Holmber, "Lindgren, Astrid (Anna Emilia)", in ''The Encyclopedia of Fantasy'' (New York: St. Martin's Griffin, 1997/1999), p.582.</ref>
[[Image:The Land of Faraway.jpg|1987 release of the film adaption of ''Mio, min Mio''|left|thumb]]
As both ''Mio, min Mio'' and the first two volumes of ''[[The Lord of the Rings]]'' were published in 1954 and can be said to carry some apparent similarities, a Swedish humorous newspaper article concocted a fictitious conspiracy theory that Tolkien and Lindgren must have secretly met some time in the 1930s and agreed upon writing ''"fairy-tales of their own but with a common theme"'' ("var sin saga med gemensamt tema"). The joke aside, the similarities are quite abound:<ref>Petter Karlsson , "[http://www.expressen.se/1.537513 Sagornas likhet är ingen slump]" ("The Similarity of the Fairy-tales is no Coincidence") , in ''Expressen'', January 30, 2007.

[[Image:Kalevala1.jpg|''Kalevala'', First edition, 1835.jpg|frame]]
The '''''Kalevala''''' is a book and epic poem which [[Elias Lönnrot]] compiled from Finnish and Karelian folklore in the 19th century. It is held to be the national epic of Finland and is traditionally thought of as one of the most significant works of Finnish literature.

"Kalevala" is the name of the homeland of the heroes in the book ''Kalevala''.

==Tolkien and the ''Kalevala''==

The Finnish mythology, as presented in the ''Kalevala'', had a profound impact on the young [[J.R.R. Tolkien]], and became an inspiration for the creation of his [[legendarium]]. In early letter to [[Edith Bratt]], Tolkien mentions that he is doing a reworking of one of the stories from the ''Kalevala'' (resulting in the manuscript "[[The Story of Kullervo]]").<ref>{{L|1}}</ref> In [[1955]], writing to his friend [[W.H. Auden]], he says that ''"the beginning of the legendarium [...] was in an attempt to reorganize some of the Kalevala, especially the tale of Kullervo the hapless, into a form of my own"''.<ref>{{L|163}}</ref>

A considerable part of the tale of [[Túrin|Túrin Turambar]] is derived from ''Kalevala'', where the counterpart of Túrin is [[Kullervo]], son of Kalervo.<ref>[[J.R.R. Tolkien]]; [[Verlyn Flieger]] (ed.), "'The Story of Kullervo' and Essays on Kalevala", in ''[[Tolkien Studies: Volume 7]]''</ref> Kalervo comes into conflict with the kin of Untamo, and soon a gang of men attacks Kalervo killing his family and men, and only one maid is spared her life to serve as a slave for Kalervo. But soon the maid gives birth to Kullervo. Later Kullervo is sold to Ilmarinen, from who he soon escapes. Kullervo finds out that her parents are alive as well, and hears from them that his sister has disappeared. Kalervo has to go to pay the families taxes, and on his way back Kullervo meets a fair maiden and seduces her. Afterwards she realizes that Kullervo is her brother, and out of shame she jumps into rapids and drowns. Desperate and self destructive Kullervo returns home and attacks Untamo and slays him. After the killing he talks to his sword, and says that it has bled a lot of innocent blood, and tells it that now the sword can bleed some guilty blood as well. The sword replies:

:Thus his trusty sword makes answer,
:Well divining his intentions:
:Why should I not drink thy life-blood,
:Blood of guilty Kullerwoinen,
:Since I feast upon the worthy,
:Drink the life-blood of the righteous?"

After the sword replies, Kullervo thrusts himself to the blade and dies.

The Firland Saga

Kerim96:

[[Image:Sagaen om Firland.jpg|thumb|''Sagaen om Firland'', Danish translation of the first book]]
'''The Firland Saga''' is a children's fantasy book series by [[Norman Power|Norman S. Power]]. The series contain a reference to [[Gandalf]], and the author was inspired by the fictional works of [[J.R.R. Tolkien]] and [[C.S. Lewis]].<ref>Henrik Larsen, "Landet du ikke kan nå" ("The Country You cannot Reach"), published in ''Obskuriøst'' nr. 5/6, June 2003. Further elaborations by the same author in "[http://www.cultmovies.dk/obskur/firland.htm Firland - om en særdeles obskuriøs bogserie]" (web page, as of July 18, 2010)</ref>

The stories of Firland were expanded from bedtime stories Power told to his four children.<ref>"Foreword", in ''[[The Forgotten Kingdom|Sagaen om Firland]]'' ([[Norman Power]])</ref> Firland is an [[Atlantis]]-like country that is visited by some modern day children. Characters of Firland include the evil Queen Ivis, Greylin the Wizard, a talking dragon, and King Mark in the Castle of Casterbor. The narrative also include cameo appearences of [[wikipedia:Sherlock Holmes|Sherlock Holmes]] and [[wikipedia:John Watson (Sherlock Holmes)|Dr. Watson]].
[[Image:Frygt i Firland.jpg|left|thumb|''Frygt i Firland'', Danish translation of the second book]]
Tolkien himself seems to have read the first book in the series (''[[The Forgotten Kingdom|The Forgotten Kingdom: The Firland Saga]]'', 1970), as he wrote a letter to Norman Power in the 1970s, commenting on The Firland Saga.<ref>[[Norman Power|Power, Norman]], "[Untitled recollection]", in ''[[Tolkien Centenary Conference 1992]]'', p.10</ref>

== Etymology ==
{{Pronounce|Finarfin.mp3|Ardamir}}
Finarfin's [[father-name]] was '''Arafinwë''' ([[Quenya|Q]]:"Noble [son of] Finwë", pron. [[Noldorin|N]] {{IPA|[ˌaraˈfinwe]}},[[Vanyarin|V]] {{IPA|[ˌaraˈɸinwe]}}).<ref>{{PM|Finwe}}, p.344</ref> His [[Amilessë|mother-name]] was '''Ingoldo''', changed from the earlier Ingalaurë ("[[Vanyar|Inga]]-gold", pron.{{IPA|[ˌiŋɡaˈla͡ʊre]}}).<ref>{{PM|Finwe}}, note 30, p. 360</ref>

The name ''Finarfin'' is the [[Sindarin]] version of his father-name.

Finarfin is rare among the [[High Elves]] of the [[Undying Lands]] who did not leave and fall under the [[Doom of Mandos]], in that he is known primarily by his name in Sindarin, a language indigenous to [[Middle-earth]] and not thought to have been known or studied in Aman until after the Exiles were allowed to return at the end of the [[First Age]], save the possibility that Sindarin was learned from the Elves of [[Beleriand]] who died and went to sojourn in the [[Halls of Mandos]]. Other such Amanya High Elves who stayed behind are primarily known by their [[Quenya]] or [[Telerin]] names. But both of Finarfin's brothers went into Exile, with the result that both were largely remembered by Sindarin names, and also Finarfin's name is structured very similarly to that of his brother [[Fingolfin]]. It is probably unlikely that [[Fëanor]] and [[Amras]] had the time to learn Sindarin before they died so soon after reaching Beleriand, but they fell under the Doom of Mandos nevertheless, making Finarfin the only known [[Amanyar|Amanya]] never under the Doom whose name is primarily known in its Sindarin form.

'''Ungoliant''' was an evil [[Spirits (creatures)|spirit]] in a form that greatly resembled a massive [[Spiders|Spider]] who dwelt in [[Avathar]] prior to the [[First Age]].

==History==
Ungoliant's origins are shrouded in mystery. It is thought that she may have been one of the [[Maiar]], or a lesser spirit, whom [[Morgoth|Melkor]] corrupted long ago, but she is not listed among the [[Ainur]]. It is also said that she came from the darkness above the skies of Arda, leading some to believe that she may be an incarnation of darkness or emptiness itself. {{fact}} What is known is that during the [[Years of the Trees|Age of the Trees]] she had disowned Melkor and lived independently in Avathar.

After [[Morgoth|Melkor]] sowed discord among the Noldor and fled Valinor, he sought Ungoliant's aid in his attack on the [[Two Trees of Valinor]]. She helped Melkor infiltrate [[Valinor]] by shrouding both herself and her ally in webs of pure darkness. Once within Valinor, Ungoliant drank the light from the Two Trees after Morgoth wounded them with his spear. She also drained dry the Wells of [[Varda]] so that nothing remained of the Light of the [[Two Lamps]] save that of the [[Silmarils]] of [[Fëanor]]. After this terrible act, Ungoliant and Melkor fled to [[Middle-earth]] to escape justice at the hands of the [[Valar]].

[[File:John Howe - The Killing of the Trees.jpg|thumb|left|[[John Howe]] - ''The Killing of the Trees'']]

In order to gain Ungoliant's assistance, Melkor had promised to reward her, "Yea, with both hands", and after their flight from [[Valinor]], the Dark Lord indeed gave her many gems of the [[Noldor|Ñoldor]]. However, he withheld the Silmarils in his right hand, having desired them too greatly to allow the Great Spider to devour them. In response, an enraged Ungoliant wrapped Melkor in her webs, and poised to devour him as punishment for his perceived betrayal. Having grown far larger and stronger than before by absorbing the light of the Two Trees, the Gloomweaver would have killed Melkor had not his cry of desperation been heard by his [[Balrogs]], who took flight and saved their master.<ref>{{S|Flight}}</ref>

Overcome by the Balrogs' fiery whips, Ungoliant fled to the [[Ered Gorgoroth]] in [[Beleriand]]. There, she had many offspring, including [[Shelob]], which spread throughout the Ered Gorgoroth and gave it a reputation as a place of horror. Ungoliant herself eventually disappeared from history, but her final fate is not precisely known; it is said that she went into the forgotten south of the world shortly before the [[First Age]], and some have said that she eventually let her ever growing hunger overcome her and devoured herself at last. <ref>{{S|9}}</ref>

==Etymology==
The name is pronounced {{IPA|[uŋˈɡoljant]}}. In the form ''Ungoliant'' the name is technically [[Sindarin]], but is a direct loan from [[Quenya]] '''Ungweliantë''' (''[[ungwë]]'' + ''[[liantë]]'': "dark spider"; pron. {{IPA|[uŋʷˌɡʷeliˈante]}}); the strictly Sindarin form being '''Delduthling''' "dark terror spider."

She is also called "gloomweaver," '''Virilomë''' {{IPA|[ˌviriˈlome]}}) ('''Wirilomë''' in [[Vanyarin]]) which becomes '''Gwerlum''' ({{IPA|[ɡʷerlum]}}) in Sindarin.

==Other version of the legendarium==
In ''[[The Book of Lost Tales]]'', Ungoliant's history is even more mysterious than what is implied in the published edition of ''The Silmarillion''. Here, even the Valar did not know of her origins, and she was portrayed as a primeval spirit of night, and believed to be a creature bred of the darkness of the Void.

Also, Melkor and his companions encounter Ungoliant in her lair (here, known as Arvalin) by coincidence while fleeing from the Valar.

Melkor and Ungoliant are shown to be on much friendlier terms with each other than what is shown in later versions of ''The Silmarillion'', as Melkor willingly offers the jewels that were stolen from the Elves, apart from the Silmarils (the Theft of the Silmarils ocurring ''before'' the Darkening of Valinor, in this version).

After the Darkening of Valinor, instead of fleeing with Melkor, Ungoliant immediately flees southwards towards her lair, and successfully eludes the Valar.

In an early sketch of the voyages of [[Earendel]] in the ''Lost Tales'', Tolkien considered to have Earendel meet her (as Wirilomë) in his travels, which Christopher Tolkien found surprising.<ref>{{LT2|V}}</ref> In the first sketch of the ''Silmarillion'' ([[1926]]) intended to "reboot" the legendarium, Earendel slew Ungoliant.<ref>{{SM|2}}</ref>

==In adaptations==
'''2012: ''[[The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey]]'':'''
:While discussing the darkness that has fallen over [[Mirkwood]], [[Radagast]] describes the spiders there as "[s]ome kind of spawn of Ungoliant".

'''A Warm Welcome''' is the 10th chapter of ''[[The Hobbit]]''.

==Summary==
Following the escape of the [[Thorin and Company|dwarves]] from the [[Elves of Mirkwood|wood-elves]], [[Bilbo Baggins|Bilbo]] listens to the talk of the [[raft-elves]]. He realizes they were very fortunate to have escaped the way they did. He sees that the path that [[Beorn]] had told them to follow came to a "''doubtful and little used end at the eastern edge of the forest''."
[[File:J.R.R. Tolkien - Lake Town (Colored by H. E. Riddett).jpg|thumb|left|J.R.R. Tolkien - Lake Town (Colored by [[H.E. Riddett]])]]
After a while they come to the [[Long Lake]], and Bilbo marvels at its size.
They come to [[Lake-town]]; a small collection of huts and buildings built on stilts over the water. The ruins of a bigger town could be seen rotting away along the shores.

The first Dwarf to be unloaded was [[Thorin]], who was barely alive, and Bilbo instructs him to "''slap your arms and rub your legs."'' When Bilbo knocks on the barrels, only six dwarves are able to answer: [[Dwalin]] and [[Balin]] were the worst off; [[Bifur]] and [[Bofur]] were better off, but would not help; [[Fíli]] and [[Kíli]] had a better time of it, and had only a few bruises (Fili says he hopes he never smells apples again, as his barrels was full of the smell); [[Bombur]] was asleep or unconsious; and [[Dori]], [[Nori]], [[Ori]], [[Óin]], and [[Glóin]] were barely alive.

In Lake-town Thorin requests to see the [[Master of Lake-town]]. He was feasting at the time and all the Dwarves join him (they are famished with hunger since they had not eaten for several days). They get a warm welcoming, and Thorin, the grandson of Thrór, the king under the mountain, is treated as a hero. The Dwarves feelings for Bilbo improved and they praised. But unfortunately Bilbo had such a bad cold that his speeches at the banquet are limited to "''Thag you very buch''."

After two weeks at Lake-town, Thorin and Company decide to leave for the [[Lonely Mountain]].

[[File:Eight books from Tolkien's library.jpg|thumb]]
This page is a '''list of books in Tolkien's library''', that is, books and other publications known to have been owned by [[J.R.R. Tolkien]].

After Tolkien’s death in 1973, his library passed to his son and literary executor, [[Christopher Tolkien]]. Before moving to France in 1975, Christopher donated some books to Oxford libraries, and others were weeded out and entered the used book market.

A local bookseller bought a large quantity of the books and put stickers with ‘‘From the Library of J.R.R. Tolkien.’’, on many of the unsigned volumes in order to preserve their provenance before selling them off.

Around three hundred volumes were donated to the English Faculty Library and forty-five, were also deposited in the Bodleian Library with Tolkien’s papers. <ref> [[Douglas A. Anderson]], "Library, Personal", in ''[[J.R.R. Tolkien Encyclopedia: Scholarship and Critical Assessment]]'' (pp. 361-2)</ref>

On page 33, Tolkien noted "I have heard it in 1920", in reaction to Morris-Jones's remark that while the spelling ''ychain'' for Welsh ''[[Wiktionary:ychen|ychen]]'' ("oxen") is wrongly derived, the form ''ychain'' can be heard in [[Wikipedia:Gwynedd|Gwynedd]].<ref name=TW/><ref name=C51>{{CG|C}}, p. 51</ref>

}} '''Legolas''' was an elf of the [[Woodland Realm]] of [[Mirkwood]]. He was actually of [[Sindar]]in heritage as he was the only recorded son of King [[Thranduil]]. His most important events of his life are surrounded by the [[War of the Ring]] during which he was the [[Elves|Elven]] representative member in the [[Fellowship of the Ring]]; his Elven characteristics were a valuable asset because of his superior sight, hearing, lightness of foot, and unrivaled archery.

Another thing that made Legolas famous was his legendary friendship with [[Gimli]] the [[Dwarves|Dwarf]]. Not only such friendships among the two races were rare throughout history, but it also contrasted the harsh ways his own father behaved to [[Glóin|Gimli's father]] and [[Thorin and Company|his companions]].

==History==
As the son of the Elvenking [[Thranduil]], Legolas was a prince of the [[Woodland Realm]]. Not much can be said about most of his life before or during the [[Third Age]].

During the [[War of the Ring]], the [[Elves of Mirkwood]] were keeping [[Gollum]] captive, however he soon managed to escape. Legolas was sent to [[Rivendell]] with a message to [[Gandalf]] about this event.

Legolas was present at the [[Council of Elrond]] and related the news, being quick to state to [[Aragorn]] that it was not through lack of watchfulness; if anything, from over-kindness, and related the details to the council. He spoke little for the rest of the council, if at all, but later was to participate in the [[Quest of the Ring]] as the only elven member of the [[Fellowship of the Ring]]. His capabilities would be welcomed, and would be his primary claim to fame for the rest of his life.
===The Fellowship of the Ring===
For the early part of the quest they walked in single file, with Legolas at the back due to his keen eyes. Later, he was at the head of the company as they entered [[Eregion|Hollin]]<ref>{{HM|FR}}, “[[Gimli]]… had come up with Legolas, and was gazing out before him…”</ref>. Though all in the Company could feel the wholesomeness of the country, only Legolas could hear the stones lament the lost presence of the [[Elves]], and his words were poignant.

[[File:Ted Nasmith - The Anger of the Mountain.jpg|thumb|[[Ted Nasmith]] - ''The Anger of the Mountain'']]As they ascended [[Caradhras]], Legolas could walk on top of the snow, whereas the others were forced to trudge. He also attempted (unsuccessfully) to light a fire. The storm troubled him least of all the company, and it is written “he alone of the Company remained still light of heart”. After they were determined to retreat, [[Boromir]] and Aragorn tried to push a path through the snow to get out, while Legolas danced lightly on top, passing them easily. He soon spotted the way out for the rest of the company, and a bit of sarcasm edged his speech at Boromir’s words that they (the “strongest”) must seek a way out, when he said “There is the greatest wind-drift of all just beyond the turn, and there our Strong Men were almost buried”. The paragraphs in this section suggest the attributes of youth and unquenchable gaiety.

Perhaps a bit grumpy with the irrepressibility of the elf, Boromir during the vote as to whether or not they should pass through [[Moria]], asked “What do Legolas and the little folk say?” Legolas voted against the passage with Boromir, but was overruled, especially when [[Wargs|Warg]] voices were heard. During their defense against these beasts, Legolas did more than perhaps all the rest of the company except Gandalf, shooting numerous wargs. He collected his arrows unharmed (except for one) after the fight.

The Fellowship entered Moria and Legolas, despite his ability to see well in the dark, could not in the caves. [[Frodo Baggins]] (due to his [[Morgul-wound]]) could see better than any of the company in the dark, except perhaps Gandalf. Legolas had to drag Gimli from the [[Chamber of Mazarbul]] when the [[Dwarves|dwarf]] almost refused to go. He was also the first of the Company to recognize [[Durin's Bane]] as a [[Balrogs|Balrog]], or at least the first to express his dismay at the fact.

Legolas was most enthusiastic about coming to [[Lothlórien]], describing it to the rest of the Company, and mourning the fact that it was winter and they could not witness it in the pinnacle of its glory. As they rested by the [[Nimrodel (river)|Nimrodel]], Legolas told the company tales of Lothlórien, and sang the [[Song of Nimrodel]] to them. Upon hearing the other Elves of Lórien, Legolas listened and responded in their own tongue, and when [[Samwise Gamgee|Samwise]] queried as to what they were saying, Legolas slyly responded that they said he breathed so loudly that the elves claimed they could shoot him in the dark. Samwise was horrified until Legolas added that they need not fear the elves.

Legolas was called up to meet with the [[Galadhrim]], with Frodo only (Sam following, as always). The Galadhrim had heard him singing and knew he came from [[Mirkwood]]. They would readily accept all of the fellowship, save Gimli, because of his race and the grievances between his and theirs. Legolas was forced to answer for the company, with the reminder to keep an eye on "that dwarf". He was forced by the others to go blindfolded into Lórien, especially at the urging of Gimli, who hated the thought of going such. Indeed, he declared he would submit himself to this restraint only if "Legolas here shares my blindness". In the end, Legolas had no choice but to submit.

[[Image:Michael Kaluta - Legolas Draws the Bow of Galadriel.jpg|thumb|left|200px|[[Michael Kaluta]] - ''Legolas Draws the Bow of Galadriel'']]Legolas would not translate the Elven lamentations for Gandalf, saying that he had neither the skill nor the heart. During their time in Lórien, however (with the influence of the Lady [[Galadriel]] working her magic on the dwarf), he became fast friends with Gimli, a friendship that would never be broken. He was one of those of the Company that could handle boats, and so was assigned to one with the dwarf. He received a bow and quiver such as the Galadhrim used.

After ambushed by orc-archers on the [[Anduin]], Legolas quickly leaped out onto dry ground and searched for a mark to shoot at. As a dread fell on the Company, Legolas invoked the name of [[Elbereth Gilthoniel]], and shot the descending [[Fell beasts|Fell beast]] from the sky, a masterful shot in the dark.

===The Three Hunters===
[[Image:Ted Nasmith - Pursuit in Rohan.jpg|thumb|right|200px|[[Ted Nasmith]] - ''Pursuit in Rohan'']]When ambushed on [[Amon Hen]], Legolas shot many [[orcs]] until his arrows ran out, then used his knife. Upon the [[breaking of the Fellowship]], he sang a lament for Boromir, who had fallen, with Aragorn, taking the part of the South Wind which came from the Sea. Legolas was of great aid to Aragorn in the days following, as he helped to track the [[Uruk-hai]] across [[Rohan]]. His eyes could see many leagues, and for a while he could see their quarry far ahead of them.

Legolas stood by his friend Gimli when confronted by the haughty [[Éomer]], threatening him with death if he attempted to harm the dwarf. He let Gimli ride behind him on the way to [[Fangorn Forest]]. Under its eaves, Legolas noticed how the tree beneath which they sat seemed glad of the fire. He was reluctant to enter Fangorn, having no knowledge about it save for the stories of the [[Onodrim]], and that it was very old. Though the night was very dark, he was also the first to notice the absence of the horses. Later he asserted to Aragorn that the beasts sounded joyful, confirming Aragorn’s own opinion.

Upon entering Fangorn itself, Legolas declared that he almost felt young again beside those trees. He commented that in earlier days he could have been happy there. Gimli snorted, saying “''I dare say you could. You are a Wood-elf, anyway, though Elves of any kind are strange folk.''” Legolas would later reverse this declaration at the [[Hornburg]]. When the [[Three Hunters]] met with the apparition of an old man, whom they believed to be [[Saruman]], despite Gimli’s round encouragement Legolas did not shoot him, feeling moral objections to this. The old man declared "''Put away that bow, Master Elf.''" Legolas dropped his bow, but later picked it up again, and was about to shoot when it was seen that beneath the old man’s robes there was white. Yet he recognized that it was [[Gandalf]] just in time, and shot his arrow high in the air to be consumed by fire. Gandalf coolly added "''Well met, I say to you again, Legolas!''"

===With the Rohirrim===
Legolas was a leader in the conversation with Gandalf, being the first to ask about Merry & Pippin, and Gandalf’s apparently miraculous escape. After the story, Gandalf delivered [[Galadriel]]’s messages to each of them, Legolas' being:

<poem style="font-style:italic; margin-left:20px;">
''Legolas Greenleaf long under tree
''In joy thou hast lived. Beware of the Sea!
''If thou hearest the cry of the gull on the shore,
''Thy heart shall then rest in the forest no more.
</poem>

Legolas again used his eyes for the help of the company, as he spied both the of [[Isengard]] and [[Edoras]] from afar. At the gates of [[Meduseld]], Legolas was the only one to lay down his weapons without hesitation. He played only a passive role in the healing of [[Théoden|Théoden King]], and later was arrayed in shining mail beside Aragorn. Gimli would not ride on Éomer's horse unless Legolas rode beside them, which he did gladly. Éomer declared "''Legolas upon my left, and Aragorn upon my right, and none will dare to stand before us!''"

[[Image:John Howe - Legolas and Gimli at Helm's Deep.jpg|thumb|right|250px|[[John Howe]] - ''Legolas and Gimli at Helm's Deep'']]As Legolas stood at the [[Hornburg]] at the eve of battle, he said that though he did not like the place, Gimli comforted him, and he was glad that the dwarf stood by his side. He also wished that a hundred archers of [[Mirkwood]] were there, noting the small number of bowmen among the [[Rohirrim]]. At the opening of the battle Legolas shot twenty at least, this figure being taken as precise by Gimli. When Gimli returned to the elf for the second time to declare that he slew twenty-one, Legolas counted his kills as twenty-four. By the time the [[Fire of Orthanc]] blew out a piece of the wall, his quiver was nearly empty. With the last arrow the elf saved Aragorn’s life when he stumbled while pursued. At the end of the battle, Legolas had shot a total of forty-one, though Gimli surpassed his count by one.

Legolas showed great interest in the [[Huorns]] on the way to [[Isengard]], discussing them with Gandalf and a less willing Gimli. Legolas promised Gimli that he would go to [[Glittering Caves|Aglarond]] after the war upon hearing the dwarf’s eloquence, if only Gimli would accompany him on a visit to Fangorn. At Isengard he enjoyed a meal in the company of the Gimli, Aragorn, and the [[Hobbits]].

===The Return of the King===
When Aragorn made clear his purpose as to the taking of the [[Paths of the Dead]], Legolas and Gimli willingly volunteered to go with him. Legolas predicted, when Gimli suggested that Galadriel might have sent them soldiers from their own lands, that they need not ride away to find war.

Amidst the Paths of the Dead, riding with the [[Grey Company]], Legolas alone (save for [[Elladan]] and [[Elrohir]], [[Elrond|Elrond's]] sons) felt no fear of the [[Oathbreakers|Dead Men]], and it may be remembered that the High Elves had power both in the worlds of the seen and unseen. Yet his turn came to be struck to the heart in the opposite sense – when he heard the gulls at [[Pelargir]], fulfilling Galadriel’s prediction and warning. While telling this story later, he dropped off there, while Gimli promptly said "''For my part I heeded them not''". Legolas saw as Aragorn led the Dead Men what a mighty lord he might have been if he had taken [[the One Ring]].

Legolas came with Aragorn from the ships during the [[Battle of the Pelennor Fields|Battle of Pelennor Fields]], and fought there beside his comrades. He survived the battle, and several times that day afterward commented on the longevity and eventual domination of [[Men]] to the dubious Gimli.

===Battle of the Morannon and Aftermath===
Legolas rode for the last time into battle beside his friends to the [[Battle of the Morannon]]. He witnessed the Fall of the Dark Tower, and after the battle attended the ceremonies of the [[Field of Cormallen]] in the honor of Frodo and Samwise and their victory. That night Legolas would not go to bed, but instead went away to walk in the woods, singing of the Sea.

After attending the Coronation of Elessar, Legolas remained (at the urging of Aragorn) in [[Minas Tirith]] for a time. During the parting of the [[Fellowship of the Ring|Fellowship]], Legolas went with Gimli to Aglarond. After that, he rode off with Gimli to visit [[Fangorn Forest]].

===After the War of the Ring===
[[File:Lorraine Brevig - Legolas and the Sea.jpg|thumb|Lorraine Brevig - ''Legolas and the Sea'']] Legolas returned to Minas Tirith with a company of Wood-elves, and they made [[Ithilien]] a green and fair land once more. After King Aragorn died, Legolas sailed West, reportedly taking Gimli with him.<ref>{{App|Durin}}</ref>

==Personality==
Legolas showed almost irrepressible cheerfulness throughout the journey, passing through Caradhras and even the Paths of the Dead without hesitation or complaint. His youthful nature can be seen from the mocking way he treated the "strong men" on Caradhras, whom Boromir (excluding Legolas) had said could forge a way out through the snow. He is perhaps most remembered for his friendship with Gimli the Dwarf, and it was during this friendship that we see his faithfulness, and also his love of beauty. Gimli's words moved him when the dwarf spoke of the [[Glittering Caves]].

==Description and Equipment==
At Rivendell, Legolas was dressed in green and brown garb, and he was probably dressed similarly for the duration of the quest.

He bore a bow from Mirkwood, and later a [[Bow of the Galadhrim|bow of the Galadhrim]]. He also had a long white knife.

== Etymology ==
The name ''Legolas'' is a [[Silvan Elvish|Silvan]] dialect form of pure [[Sindarin]] ''Laegolas'', which means "Greenleaf". At one point he is called "Legolas Greenleaf" by Gandalf, coupling his name and its translation like an epithet.<ref group=note>'''''Greenleaf''''' is not his surname, as is sometimes erroneously believed; nor is it an epithet (like ''[[Oakenshield]]'').</ref>

''Legolas'' consists of the [[Sindarin]] words ''laeg'', a very rare, archaic word for "green" (cf. ''Laegrim, Laegel(d)rim'', the [[Green Elves]]), which is normally replaced by ''calen'' (cf. ''[[Calenhad]], [[Parth Galen]]'' and ''[[Pinnath Gelin]]''); and ''golas'', a collection of leaves, foliage (being a prefixed collective form of ''[[lass|las(s)]]'', "leaf").<ref>{{L|211}}</ref><ref>{{PE|17}}, pp. 84, 153</ref> The [[Quenya]] cognate of Laegolas is said to be ''Laicolasse''.<ref>{{PE|17}}, p. 56</ref><ref>[[Helge Fauskanger]], [http://folk.uib.no/hnohf/quen-eng.htm ''Quettaparma Quenyallo'']. Entry for '''laica'''. Retrieved 30 August 2010.</ref>

==Other versions of the Legendarium==
A character "[[Legolas (elf of Gondolin)|Legolas Greenleaf]]" appears firstly in ''[[The Fall of Gondolin]]'' in ''[[The Book of Lost Tales]]'' (in the context of another unrelated character) who guided some survivors of the sack of the city to safety. His [[Qenya]] name is ''Laiqalassë''.<ref>{{LT2|IIIn}}, §2 Entries in the Name-list to The Fall of Gondolin</ref>

Tolkien considered [[Glorfindel]] to be the Elven character of the Fellowship, however he dropped the idea, and Legolas was created to replace him. Perhaps this is the reason why Legolas is considered the most underdeveloped character of the Fellowship, playing only a minor role in ''[[The Lord of the Rings]]''.<ref>{{webcite|articleurl=http://askmiddlearth.tumblr.com/post/53965333513/why-is-legolass-character-so-underdeveloped|articlename=Why is Legolas so underdeveloped?|website=[http://askmiddlearth.tumblr.com Ask About Middle-Earth]}}</ref>

'''2001-03: [[The Lord of the Rings (film series)|''The Lord of the Rings'' (film series)]]:'''
:Legolas was portrayed by [[Orlando Bloom]].

:In the "official movie guide" for ''The Lord of the Rings'', a birthdate for Legolas is set to 87 of the [[Third Age]]. This would make him 2931 years old at the time of the [[War of the Ring]]. This date for Legolas' birth was made up by the movie writers. Curiously, the year 2931 was the year Aragorn was born; the writers may have picked the number at random from the ''Tale of Years'' in the [[Appendix B|Appendices]].

:He is presented as an unstoppable fighter, arguably to the point of stealing the show; he performs show-stopping yet implausible stunts in battle scenes. For example, in the [[Battle of the Hornburg]], he slides down a staircase using a shield, shooting arrows all the while, and in the [[Battle of the Pelennor Fields]], he takes down an [[Oliphaunts|Oliphaunt]] all by himself. However, in the books, Legolas's exploits in battle are not presented in great detail. Aside from shooting the fell beast, he undertakes no major actions other than to make peace with Gimli, overcoming their longstanding mutual racial animosity — he and Gimli are followers, rather than leaders. The film-makers later stated that the entire scene of Legolas killing the Oliphaunt and its entire crew was filmed during pick-ups (months after original filming) to insert a major action scene showcasing him, because at that point they realized that he simply doesn't get to do much in the third part of the trilogy.

:Legolas bears two long knives, while in the book he bears only one. Another, more trivial change, was the number of Orcs he and Gimli kill at [[Helm's Deep]]: 42 and 43, respectively. It is not clear whether this was an intentional change on the part of the filmmakers, though it seems likely that it was, since the original numbers were so clear in Tolkien's own text.

:Playing Legolas in the trilogy was Orlando Bloom's breakout route to superstardom. His handsome features and Legolas' "coolness", so to speak, as depicted in the film, have led to the character becoming an unprecedented fan favorite with both fangirls and fanboys, not to mention other Tolkien fans. Although the disproportionate popular reaction to Legolas met with mixed reactions from fans, many debaters on the Internet during earlier stages of production were worried that a film portrayal of Legolas might render him as far too effeminate for popular consumption. Later, many felt that Bloom was able to avoid this entirely. [[Christopher Tolkien]] recounts that his father wrote the following "wrathful" comment protesting against a "pretty" or "ladylike" depiction of Legolas:
{{quote|He was tall as a young tree, lithe, immensely strong, able swiftly to draw a great war-bow and shoot down a Nazgûl, endowed with the tremendous vitality of Elvish bodies, so hard and resistant to hurt that he went only in light shoes over rock or through snow, the most tireless of all the Fellowship.|[[The Book of Lost Tales Part Two]]}}

'''2002: [[The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring (video game)|''The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring'' (video game)]]:'''
:Legolas is a non-playable character, accompanying the Ring-bearer since Rivendell.

'''2002: [[The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers (video game)|''The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers'' (video game)]]:'''
:Legolas is one of the three playable characters.

'''2003: [[The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King (video game)|''The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King'' (video game)]]:'''
:Legolas is a playable character, skilled in both ranged and melee. He and Gimli accompany Aragorn through Paths of the Dead, later he fights on Pelennor fields and at the Black Gate.

'''2004: ''[[The Lord of the Rings: War of the Ring]]'':'''
:[[Grant George]] provides the voice of Legolas.<ref>http://www.dynamicduovo.com/aboutgrant.html</ref> The game depicts Legolas's hunt for [[Gollum]] in northern Mirkwood, which is interrupted by the orcs.

'''2004: ''[[The Lord of the Rings: The Battle for Middle-earth]]'':'''
:Legolas is a Hero Unit for the Rohan faction in skirmishes, and accompanies the Fellowship in the storyline mode. He specializes in powerful ranged attacks.

'''2006: ''[[The Lord of the Rings: The Battle for Middle-earth II]]'':'''
:Legolas is now the Hero for the Elven faction.

'''2007: ''[[The Lord of the Rings Online]]'':'''
:Legolas can be found in Rivendell, where before the Fellowship's departure he accompanies the player on a mission to find the missing Nazgul (as only eight horses were found in the book). Later, he can be found in Lothlorien, displaying Gimli the beauty of [[Cerin Amroth]].

'''2009: ''[[The Lord of the Rings: Conquest]]'':'''
:[[Crispin Freeman]] plays Legolas, who is available as a Hero in several missions.<ref>http://groups.yahoo.com/group/crispin_freeman_fansite/message/9438</ref>

{{quote|West, North, and South the children of Men spread and wandered, and their joy was the joy of the morning before the dew is dry, when every leaf is green.|''[[The Silmarillion]]'', [[Of Men]]}}
'''Men''' were one of the Kindreds of the [[Children of Ilúvatar]]. Men were called the Secondborn (or the Second Kindred<ref>{{PE|17}}, p. 89</ref>) by the [[Elves]], their [[Elves|Elder]] brethren, because they were the last of all the [[incarnate]] races to come into being. Though they were born after the other sentient races, Men were destined to inherit and [[Dominion of Men|rule]] [[Middle-earth]].

==Origins and Nature==

The race of Men is the second race of beings created by the Supreme God, [[Ilúvatar]]. Because they [[Awakening of Men|awoke]] at the start of the [[First Age]] of the Sun, while the [[Elves]] awoke three Ages before them, they are called the Secondborn ([[Quenya]]: ''Atani'', [[Sindarin]]: ''[[Edain]]'') by the Elves. Men awoke in a land located in the far east of Middle-earth called [[Hildórien]]. When the Sun rose for the first time in the far West, Men began to wander towards it, a journey which culminated in some of them reaching Beleriand centuries later.

There is much evidence that, soon after their awakening, Morgoth came to Men and incited them to worship him and turn away from Ilúvatar, and that they complied. Though all were seduced by the Enemy, some Men repented and escaped; they were said to be the ancestors of the Edain.

Men bear the so-called ''[[Gift of Men]]'', mortality. Elves are immortal, in the sense that even if their bodies are slain, their spirits remain bound to the world, going to the [[Halls of Mandos]] to wait until they are released or the world ends. Elves are tied to the world for as long as it lasts. When Men die, they are released from [[Arda]] and the bounds of the world and have rest from its troubles. Ilúvatar also gifted Men with the freedom to shape their own future, being rather free from the designs of the [[Music of the Ainur]]. <ref>{{S|1}}</ref> However, the influence of Morgoth has caused Men to fear their fate, and view Death as a Doom instead of a Gift.

==Groups and Alignments==

Although all Men are related to one another, there are many different groups with different cultures. The most important group in the tales of the [[First Age]] were the Edain. Although the word Edain technically refers to all Men, the Elves used it to distinguish those Men who fought with them in the First Age against [[Morgoth]] in [[Beleriand]]. The Edain were divided into three Houses.

The First House of the Edain was the [[House of Bëor]], and entered Beleriand in 305 FA and were granted the fief of [[Ladros]] in [[Dorthonion]] by [[Finrod|Finrod Felagund]]. The Second House of the Edain, the [[Haladin]], was led by Haldad and later by his daughter Haleth and settled in the Forest of Brethil. The Third House, which became the greatest, was led by [[Marach]] and later his descendant [[Hador]], and they settled in [[Dor-lómin]]. This house was known both as the House of Marach and the [[House of Hador]].

Other Men did not cross the [[Misty Mountains]] or fight against Morgoth. However, some, such as the Easterlings, fought openly on his side. In later Ages, the Haradrim and Easterlings would fight on Sauron's side against the descendants of the Edain. Here below follow the short descriptions of the most important groups of Men in the First, Second and Third Ages.

===[[Edain]] and [[Dúnedain]]===

As a reward for their services and assistance rendered to the Elves and the Valar in the [[War of Wrath]] at the end of the First Age, the Edain received a new land of their own from the Valar, between Middle-earth and the [[Undying Lands]]. This was the land of [[Númenor]], an island in the form of a five-pointed star that was far away from the troubles of Middle-earth.

They were led to this island by [[Elros]] with the help of his father [[Eärendil]], who sailed the heavens as the bright star of the same name and guided the ships of the Edain to Númenor. Once they arrived, Elros became the first King of Númenor and took the name Tar-Minyatur. The Edain became known as the Númenóreans or Dúnedain (Sindarin for ''Men of the West''). The kingdom of Númenor grew steadily in power, and the Dúnedain became the noblest and highest of all Men on Arda. In their early days, the Dúnedain remained allied to the Elves of Middle-earth, and aided them in battle against Morgoth's lieutenant [[Sauron]].

As the Men of the West increased in power and happiness, they came to resent the Gift of Men, Death. They wished to become immortal like the Elves and enjoy their possessions for all time. Most of the Númenóreans, including the line of the Kings, began to turn away from the Valar, and spoke against the Ban of the Valar that forbade them to sail west beyond sight of Númenor or to enter [[Valinor]]. The Númenóreans also became increasingly hostile to all Elvish influences in their realm, and in 2899 of the [[Second Age]], Ar-Adûnakhôr became the first king of Númenor to take his royal name in [[Adûnaic]], the language of Men, instead of [[Quenya]], the tongue of the Elves of Valinor.

During the early part of their rebellion, the Númenóreans became divided into two factions: the first, the [[King's Men]], enjoyed the support of the King and included the majority of the people. They wished to gain immortality and break away from their ancestral allegiance to the Valar. The King's Men also wanted to end relations with the Elves, and thus they favoured Adûnaic as the official language and eventually punished those who spoke the Elven tongues. The persecuted minority faction, the [[Faithful]], were led by the [[Lords of Andúnië]], the westernmost province of Númenor, and remained loyal to the Valar. They also tried to maintain friendship with the Elves.

When Sauron was apparently defeated and taken to the Isle by the Númenórean army near the end of the Second Age, he took advantage of the pride of the Númenóreans. By teaching the Dúnedain many things and flattering the King, [[Ar-Pharazôn]], he worked his way into the King's counsels and won the hearts of the people. Ultimately, Sauron advised Ar-Pharazôn to attack Valinor and claim immortality. This he foolishly did, and as a punishment Númenor, the island of the Men of the West, sank into the Sea and only the Faithful escaped. When the Faithful returned to Middle-earth, they founded the twin kingdoms of [[Gondor]] and [[Arnor]].

===[[Black Númenóreans]] and [[Haradrim]]===

The Faithful weren't the only Númenóreans left on Middle-earth when Númenor sank. When Númenor grew in naval power, many Númenóreans founded colonies in Middle-earth. In the second millennium of the [[Second Age]] there was an exodus of Men from the overcrowded island. Many of the King's Men settled in Middle-earth because they wanted to conquer more lands, and the Faithful because they were persecuted by the Kings. The Faithful settled in [[Pelargir]], while the King's Men ruled the [[Umbar|Haven of Umbar]] and other colonies in the South. From these colonies Sauron recruited men who would become some of the nine [[Nazgûl|Ringwraiths]] in the second millennium of the Second Age. When Númenor was destroyed, the King's Men became known as the Black Númenóreans and remained hostile towards the Faithful of Gondor. Eventually, the Black Númenórean stronghold of Umbar was conquered by Gondor in 933 of the Third Age.

Further east of Umbar another group of Men lived, called the '''Haradrim''' or Southrons. They were dark skinned Men and waged war on great Oliphaunts or ''Mûmakil''. They too were hostile to Gondor, though they were subdued in 1050 of the Third Age by [[Hyarmendacil I]].

Both Umbar and the Harad were left unchecked by Gondor's waning power by the time of the War of the Ring, and presented grave threats from the south. Many Haradrim fought with Sauron's forces in Gondor in that War.

===[[Easterlings]]===

Most Men who fought in the armies of Morgoth and Sauron were Easterlings, who came from the region around the [[Sea of Rhûn]]. Some Easterlings offered their services to the Elvish kingdoms in Beleriand; among them were [[Bór]] and his sons, and [[Ulfang the Black]] and his sons. This proved to be disastrous for the Elves in the [[Nirnaeth Arnoediad]] when Ulfang and his clan switched sides and defected to Morgoth, though Bór and his sons died bravely fighting on the side of the [[Eldar]].

After Morgoth's defeat Sauron extended his influence over the Easterlings, and although Sauron was defeated by the [[Last Alliance of Elves and Men]] at the end of the Second Age, the Easterlings were the first enemies to attack Gondor again in 492 TA. They were soundly defeated by King [[Rómendacil I]], but they invaded again in 541 TA and took revenge by slaying King Rómendacil. Rómendacil's son [[Turambar (King of Gondor)|Turambar]] took large portions of land from them.

In the next centuries Gondor held sway over the Easterlings. When Gondor's power began to decrease in the twelfth century of the Third Age, the Easterlings took the complete eastern bank of the [[Anduin]] except [[Ithilien]] and crushed Gondor's allies, the Northmen.

The Easterlings of the Third Age were divided in different tribes, such as the [[Wainriders]] and the [[Balchoth]]. The Wainriders were a confederation of Easterlings who were very active between 1856 and 1944 TA. They posed a serious threat to Gondor for many years, but were utterly defeated by [[Eärnil II]] in 1944.

When Gondor lost its royal dynasty in 2050 TA the Easterlings started to reorganize themselves, and a fierce group called the Balchoth became the most important tribe. In 2510 TA they invaded Gondor again and conquered much of [[Calenardhon]], until they were defeated by the [[Éothéod]] who rode to Gondor's aid.

In the War of the Ring, the Easterlings were among the fiercest warriors deployed at the [[Battle of the Pelennor Fields]] by Sauron.

===[[Northmen]]===

Not all the Men who remained east of the Blue Mountains and Misty Mountains during the First Age were tempted by Morgoth or Sauron, and they were joined after the War of Wrath by those of the Edain who did not wish to travel to Númenor. The Northmen who dwelt in [[Mirkwood|Greenwood the Great]] and other parts of [[Rhovanion]] were friendly to the Dúnedain, being for the most part their kin, and many of them became Gondorian subjects. The Men of [[Dale]] and [[Lake-town|Esgaroth]] were Northmen, as were the Woodsmen of Mirkwood, and the [[Éothéod]], who became the Rohirrim or Horse Lords.

===[[Dunlendings]] and [[Drúedain]]===

When Elendil founded the Kingdom of Arnor, its borders were quickly extended towards the river Greyflood (Sindarin:''Gwathló''), and Gondor likewise extended up through [[Enedwaith]]. In Enedwaith and [[Minhiriath]] (Sindarin for ''Land between the Rivers'') lived a group of Men related to those Men that became the House of Haleth, and they were known as the Dunlendings. They had lived in the great woods that covered most of Eriador, and when the Númenóreans started to chop these woods down to build their ships in the [[Second Age]], they earned the hostility of the Dunlendings. The Dunlendings later became bitter enemies of [[Rohan]], as they believed the Rohirrim had stolen their lands.

Because of their enmity with the Rohirrim, the Dunlendings served [[Saruman]] in the War of the Ring and fought against the Horse Lords in the [[Battle of the Hornburg]].

Another group of Men were the [[Woses]]. They were small and stooped, and were always few in number and shortlived compared to other races of Men. They lived among the House of Haleth in the First Age, and were held as Edain by the Elves, who called them ''Drúedain'' (from ''Drûg'', their own name for themselves, plus ''Edain'').

At the end of the Third Age a few Woses still lived in the Drúadan Forest. They held off [[Orcs]] with poisoned arrows and were vital in securing the aid of the Rohirrim in the Battle of the Pelennor Fields. King [[Aragorn|Elessar]] granted the Drúadan Forest to them "forever" in the [[Fourth Age]].

===Hobbits===

[[Hobbits]] were strictly a race of Men rather than a separate species. The origin of Hobbits is obscure; they first appeared in the records of other Men in the middle of the [[Third Age]].

== Names and Etymology ==
The Elves called the race of '''Mankind''' with poetic names that refer to their later coming, and their mortality. They are mostly called '''[[Atani]]''' in [[Quenya]], literally meaning "Second ones" (the [[Elves]] being the First), but also '''[[Hildor]]''' (Followers or Aftercomers), '''Apanónar''' (Q. Afterborn), '''Secondborn''', '''Younger Children of Iluvatar''', '''Strangers''' and '''Usurpers'''<ref name=men>{{S|Men}}</ref> because they [[Dominion of Men|dominated Arda]] after the Elves. [[Sindarin]] names were '''Ephedin''' or '''Ephedrim''' (Followers).<ref>{{WJ|Quendi}}</ref>

Other names were '''[[Fírimar]]''' (Mortals), '''[[Engwar]]''' (The Sickly), the '''Self-cursed''' and the '''Guests'''<ref name=men/> because their fate was outside Arda.

Other names by the Elves, apparently referring to their differences from themselves are '''Inscrutable''', the '''Heavy-handed''', the '''Night-fearers''', and the '''Children of the Sun'''<ref name=men/> because they awoke with the Sun.

Hobbits called them the the '''Big People''' or the '''[[Big Folk]]''', especially in [[Bree]].

The name ''Atani'' is cognate with [[Sindarin]] '''[[Adan|Edain]]''', but the latter term was later applied not to the race, but only to the peoples of [[Beleriand]] who aided the Elves in their war with [[Morgoth]] in the [[First Age]].

[[J.R.R. Tolkien|Tolkien]] employed a peculiar usage of the words ''Man'' and ''Mannish'': these terms came to replace the word "human" found in drafts of ''[[The Lord of the Rings]]''.<ref>{{PM|Languages}}, p. 61</ref> It has been suggested that Tolkien might have preferred ''Man'' and ''Mannish'' being pure Germanic roots, unlike the Latin-influenced ''Human'' (cf. ''[[Wiktionary:homo#Latin|homo]]'').<ref>{{HM|RW}}, pp. 156-8</ref> This usage also reflects old Germanic practice, where ''Man'' originally meant ''mankind'', not merely the male gender; this was found (and in many of them, still is found) in all the Germanic languages (i.e. German ''Menschen'', "people").<ref>http://etymonline.com/index.php?term=man&allowed_in_frame=0</ref>

{{quote|In a hole in the ground there lived a hobbit.|''[[The Hobbit]]'', [[An Unexpected Party]]}}
'''Hobbits''' were a small race that typically dwelt underground, believed to be related to [[Men]]. They played little role in history, save during the [[War of the Ring]].

==Description and culture==
{{quote|There is more in you of good than you know, child of the kindly [[Eriador|West]]. Some courage and some wisdom, blended in measure. If more of us valued food and cheer and song above hoarded gold, it would be a merrier world.|[[Thorin Oakenshield]]<ref>{{H|18}}</ref>}}
Hobbits were between three to four feet tall, the average height being 3 feet 6 inches, with short legs slightly pointed ears<ref>{{L|27}}</ref> and furry feet with leathery soles, resulting in most never wearing shoes. Early in their recorded history, Hobbits were divided in three kinds with different customs and temperament. The '''[[Stoors]]''' grew facial hair and had an affinity for water, boats and swimming and wore boots; the '''[[Fallohides]]''' were fair, tall and slim, an adventurous people, friendlier and more open to outsiders. Finally, the '''[[Harfoots]]''' were the most numerous and instituted the living in burrows. In later days the Harfoot traits became the "norm".

Hobbits had a life span somewhat longer than Men of non-[[Númenórean]] descent, averaging between 90 and 100 years. The time at which a young hobbit "came of age" was 33.<ref name=FRI1>{{FR|I1}}</ref> The two oldest-living recorded hobbits (except [[Gollum]]) were The [[Gerontius Took|Old Took]] (who reached the age of 130) and [[Bilbo Baggins]] (who surpassed 131).

Throughout their history Hobbits had showed unparelleled skill, courage and also endurance and resistance in times of danger and terror. During their [[Wandering Days]] Hobbits demostrated an easiness to adapt to the environments they visited and adopted the customs and languages of the peoples they were in contact with. In the Shire, they had settled with a closed and comfort-loving lifestyle; they were fond of an unadventurous bucolic life of farming, eating, smoking [[pipe-weed]], socializing and talking about genealogies. Hobbits also liked to drink ale in inns, and ate at least six meals a day when they could get them. Every [[Highday]] and after noon, Hobbits celebrated a small holiday with evening feasts. <ref name=cal>{{App|Calendars}}</ref>

However, their hidden potentials resurfaced in difficult times; in the [[Long Winter]], [[Gandalf]] admired their uncomplaining courage and pity one for another, thanks to which they survived.<ref>{{UT|Erebor}}</ref> Another example of Hobbitish hardiness and resistant nature, was [[Gollum]], who despite using the [[One Ring]] for years, did not transform into a [[Wraith]] by its evil power (unlike the [[Ringwraith|nine Mannish Kings]]).<ref>
{{webcite|author=Stan Brown|website=FAQ of the Rings|articleurl=http://oakroadsystems.com/genl/ringfaq.htm#Q1-GollumWraith |articlename=Why hadn’t Gollum turned into a wraith long ago?}}</ref> These surprising Hobbit traits also were tested and proven during the [[Quest for Erebor]] and, most notably, the [[War of the Ring]].

==Origin==
[[File:Hobbits comparison.jpg|thumb|left|The three kinds of Hobbits]]
Hobbits were considered Men. Nearly all scholars agree that Men were closely related to Hobbits, far more closely than Men were to either [[Elves]] or [[Dwarves]]. It was thus commonly assumed that Hobbits were among the Younger [[Children of Ilúvatar]] and were the result of the same act of creation as Men. This would imply that Hobbits had the [[Gift of Men]] to pass entirely beyond [[Arda]].

It is supposed that Hobbits branched out from Men as a race in the [[Elder Days]].<ref>{{FR|Prologue}}</ref> Their exact origin is unknown and they come into the records not earlier than the early [[Third Age]] where they were living in the [[Vales of Anduin]] in [[Rhovanion|Wilderland]], between [[Mirkwood]] and the [[Misty Mountains]]. They have lost the genealogical details of how they are related to the rest of mankind. While they stayed there, the [[Northmen]] knew them. Their descendants, the [[Rohirrim]], had that memory of the ''[[holbytla]]n'' and they remained an object of lore until they contacted them during the War of the Ring. Many old words and names in "[[Hobbitish]]" are cognates of words in [[Rohirric]], so much so that even someone without linguistic training could make out the relation ([[Meriadoc Brandybuck]] would later write an entire book devoted to the relationship, ''[[Old Place Names in the Shire]]'').

==History==

[[File:Robin Wood - Mathom lore.jpg|thumb|Robin Wood - [[Mathom]] lore]]
While situated in the Valley of the Anduin River the Hobbits lived close by the Northmen. Some time near the beginning of the [[Third Age]], they undertook, for reasons unknown, but possibly having to do with the [[Dol Guldur|rising evil power in Mirkwood]], the arduous task of crossing the [[Misty Mountains]], beginning thus their '''[[Wandering Days]]'''. Some of the Stoors, however, stayed behind, and it is from these people that [[Gollum]] would come many years later. The Hobbits took different routes in their journey westward, but eventually came to a land between the River [[Baranduin]] (which they renamed ''Brandywine'') and the [[Weather Hills]]. There they founded many settlements, and the divisions between the Hobbit-kinds began to blur.

In the year {{TA|1601}}, two Fallohide brothers decided to cross the River Brandywine and settle on the other side. Large numbers of Hobbits followed them, and most of their former territory was depopulated. Only [[Bree]] and a few surrounding villages lasted to the end of the Third Age. The new land that they found on the west bank of the Brandywine is called [[The Shire]].

Originally the [[Shire-hobbits]] swore nominal allegiance to the last Kings of [[Arnor]], being required only to acknowledge their lordship, speed their messengers, and keep the bridges and roads in repair. During the final fight against [[Angmar]] at the [[Battle of Fornost]], the Hobbits maintain that they sent a company of archers to help but this is nowhere else recorded. After the battle the kingdom of Arnor was destroyed, and in absence of the king the Hobbits elected a [[Thain]] of the Shire from among their own chieftains.

The first Thain of the Shire was [[Bucca]] of the [[Marish]], who founded the Oldbuck family. However, later on the Oldbuck family crossed the Brandywine River to create the separate land of [[Buckland]] and the family name changed to the familiar "Brandybuck". Their patriarch then became Master of Buckland. With the departure of the [[Oldbucks]]/Brandybucks, a new family was selected to have its chieftains be Thain, the [[Took family]] (Indeed, [[Pippin Took]] was son of the Thain and would later become Thain himself). The Thain was in charge of [[Shire-moot]] and Muster and the [[Hobbitry-in-Arms]], but as the Hobbits of the Shire led entirely peaceful, uneventful lives the office of Thain was seen as something more of a formality.

==Some well-known Hobbits==
[[File:Lorraine Brevig - Frodo and Sam in Ithilien.jpg|thumb|Frodo and Sam]]
* [[Bilbo Baggins]]
* [[Frodo Baggins]]
* [[Samwise Gamgee|Samwise "Sam" Gamgee]]
* [[Meriadoc Brandybuck|Meriadoc "Merry" Brandybuck]]
* [[Peregrin Took|Peregrin "Pippin" Took]]
* [[Fredegar Bolger|Fredegar "Fatty" Bolger]]
* [[Otho Sackville-Baggins|Otho]] and [[Lotho Sackville-Baggins]]
* [[Lobelia Sackville-Baggins]]
* [[Gerontius Took|Old Took]]
* [[Bandobras Took|Bullroarer Took]]
* [[Sméagol]] (who became the creature [[Gollum]])
* [[Déagol]]

Though in ''[[The Hobbit]]'' it is mentioned that [[Gandalf]] "was responsible for so many quiet lads and lasses going off into the Blue for mad adventures," no female Hobbits are depicted in [[J.R.R. Tolkien|Tolkien]]'s stories doing so; however Hobbit women do appear in his works, such as the formidable [[Lobelia Sackville-Baggins]] and Sam's wife [[Rose Cotton|Rose Cotton]].

== Etymology ==
:''This section explains the fictional etymology of the word in the linguistic context of Middle-earth; for the actual origin of the word see the section [[#Inspiration]] below''.
''Hobbit'' was derived from [[Old English]] ''[[holbytla]]'', "hole-dweller" which represents the [[Rohirric]] language.<ref>{{HM|RW}}, p. 144</ref> In a letter, Tolkien commented on the pronounciation of the word ''hobbit'': "I am sure many hobbits drop their ''h''s like most rural folk in England".<ref>[[J.R.R. Tolkien]], "[[Letter to Alina Dadlez (19 September 1962)]]" (letter); quoted in {{CG|RG}}, p. 1036</ref>

The relationship hobbit/holbytla parallels the original [[Westron]] ''[[Kuduk]]'' (Hobbit), derived from the actual Rohirric ''[[kûd-dûkan]]'' (holbytla, hole dweller). This name obviously derives from the times when the hobbits lived at the [[Vales of Anduin]] with the [[Northmen]].<ref name="Road">{{TT|III8}}</ref><ref name="Translation">{{App|F2}}</ref>

Hobbits were also called ''[[Halflings]]'' by the [[Dúnedain]], first when they still measured 2 [[ranga]]r tall; twice as high as a hobbit who would reach only 1 ranga. The word retained even when the later generations of Dúnedain became shorter. However, the term is slightly offensive to Hobbits, as to themselves they are not 'half' of anything, and certainly do not use the term to refer to themselves.{{fact}}

''Halfling'' represents a translation of [[Westron]] ''[[banakil]]''. In [[Quenya]] the word is ''[[periando]]'' and in [[Sindarin]] ''[[perian]]'' pl. ''periannath''.{{fact}}

*''See also: [[Wikipedia:Hobbit (word)]]''

==Inspiration==
{{quote|I am in fact a Hobbit (in all but size). I like gardens, trees and unmechanized farmlands; I smoke a pipe, and like good plain food [...]; I like, and even dare to wear in these dull days, ornamental waistcoats. I am fond of mushrooms (out of a field); have a very simple sense of humour [...]; I go to bed late and get up late [...]. I do not travel much.|[[J.R.R. Tolkien]]|[[Letter 213]]}}

Tolkien's etymology for 'Hobbit' is interesting as well: the word obviously constructed meaningless as a spontaneous inspiration, without prior intent, but it would have been natural for him to see in it the German prefix ''hob'' meaning ''small'' (e.g. ''[[hobgoblin]]'', ''hobbledehoy'' and ''hobyah''). However this prefix dates back "only" to the 13th century, too late by Tolkien's standards; thence when later he began to work out the language relations further (see: [[Mannish]]) he decided that it could be a derived form of an [[Old English]] word such as ''[[holbytla]]''.

According to Tolkien, the word ''hobbit'' came first, and then he decided to write ''[[The Hobbit]]'' around it. As a university lecturer, he was in the process of correcting reports when he started scribbling on a blank piece of paper and wrote, "In a hole in the ground there lived a hobbit", and the rest of the story sprang from that.<ref>[[Humphrey Carpenter]], ''[[J.R.R. Tolkien: A Biography]]'', p.172</ref> The idea of a little hole dwelling creature was introduced to Tolkien by one of his students in a story he had written.

It was revealed recently that the word pre-dated Tolkien's usage, though with a different meaning).<ref name="annot">{{HM|AH}}</ref> Tolkien's concept of hobbits, in turn, seems to have been inspired by Edward Wyke Smith's 1927 children's book ''[[Wikipedia:The Marvellous Land of Snergs|The Marvellous Land of Snergs]]'', and by Sinclair Lewis's 1922 novel ''[[Wikipedia:Babbitt (novel)|Babbitt]]''. Tolkien wrote to [[W.H. Auden]] that ''The Marvellous Land of Snergs'' "was probably an unconscious source-book for the Hobbits"<ref name=annot/> and he told an interviewer that the word ''hobbit'' "might have been associated with Sinclair Lewis's ''Babbitt''" who enjoys the comforts of his home.

The name ''hobbit'' had previously appeared in an obscure "[[Wikipedia:Denham Tracts|list of spirits]]" by Michael Denham, which includes several repetitions. There is no evidence to suggest Tolkien used this as a source — indeed he spent many years trying to find out whether he really did coin the word. Denham's "hobbit spirits" (which are never referenced anywhere except in the long list) have no obvious relation to Tolkien's Hobbits, other than the name (which may possibly imply hob- "small"): Tolkien's Hobbits are small humans, not spirits. Nonetheless, some few people have suggested that the reference in the Denham list should invalidate the trademark.

== In popular usage ==

"Hobbit" is a trademark owned by the [[Middle-earth Enterprises]], as some of names, places and artifacts included in ''[[The Hobbit]]'' and ''[[The Lord of the Rings]]'' by [[J.R.R. Tolkien]]. For this reason [[Dungeons and Dragons]] and other fantasy tend to refer to Hobbits and Hobbit-like races rather as '''Halflings''' (''hin'' in the Mystara universe, ''hurthlings'' in Ancient Domains of Mystery).

''[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homo_floresiensis Homo floresiensis]'', a possible species in the genus Homo (thus, related to humans) discovered in 2004, has been informally dubbed a "hobbit" by its discoverers due to its small size.

[[Tolkien fandom|Fans]] have noted that in depictions and adaptations such as [[The Lord of the Rings (film series)|''The Lord of the Rings'' (film series)]], Hobbits are shown with unusually large feet, a conception probably influenced by the widespread art of [[the Brothers Hildebrandt]]. However, Tolkien himself never mentioned that large feet was a general feature of Hobbits.<ref>{{webcite|author=|articleurl=http://newboards.theonering.net/forum/gforum/perl/gforum.cgi?do=post_view_printable;post=365823;guest=38267446|articlename=Big Feet|dated=|website=[http://newboards.theonering.net/forum/gforum/perl/gforum.cgi?guest=35804230 The One Ring Forums]|accessed=2 September 2012}}</ref>

'''''Dead Ringers''''' was a comedy sketch show on [[BBC]] Two which frequently parodied and referenced [[The Lord of the Rings (film series)|''The Lord of the Rings'' (film series)]] and the works of [[J.R.R. Tolkien]] more broadly. It ran for seven series, between [[2002]] and [[2007]].

==Series 3==
In Episode 1, the use of [[Bigatures]] by [[Weta Workshop]] for ''[[The Lord of the Rings (film series)|The Lord of the Rings Trilogy]]'' was referenced in a sketch wherein [[wikipedia:Tony Blair|Tony Blair]] claimed the [[wikipedia:Iraq War|Iraq War]] was all faked with the use of models; Blair asks [[wikipedia:Kirsty Wark|Kirsty Wark]], "''I take it you've seen ''The Lord of the Rings''?''" to which she replies, "''No, I fear [[dwarves]].''". Also, the show parodied [[wikipedia:How Clean Is Your House?|How Clean Is Your House?]] with [[wikipedia:Aggie MacKenzie|Aggie MacKenzie]] calling herself "''the [[Gollum]] of grime''" and the owner's house being described as "''a cross between [[Mordor]] and Afghanistan''".

In Episode 2, parodying the fact that the [[wikipedia:Prime Minister of Thailand|Prime Minister]] of [[wikipedia:Thailand|Thailand]], [[wikipedia:Thaksin Shinawatra|Thaksin Shinawatra]], had tried to purchase [[wikipedia:Liverpool F.C.|Liverpool Football Club]], BBC News reports that "''another foreign leader with a questionable human rights record''", [[Saruman]], had bought [[wikipedia:Newcastle United F.C.|Newcastle United F.C.]] The manager, [[wikipedia:Bobby Robson|Bobby Robson]], explains that [[Shelob]] and [[Sméagol]] (invisible thanks to [[The One Ring]]) will be playing for the team.

The third episode combined the characters of the recently-returned, [[wikipedia:Auf Wiedersehen, Pet|Auf Wiedersehen, Pet]] - a programme about seven fictional British construction-workers working abroad - whose characters go to [[Middle-earth]] in search of work. They are employed by [[Gandalf]] to rebuild [[The Shire]] following the [[Scouring of the Shire]], but - in common with all series of Auf Wiedersehen, Pet - a nasty foreman turns up ([[Saruman]]) and one of the team falls in love with a local (an [[orcs|orc]]) who is then taught to speak [[wikipedia:Geordie|Geordie]].

In a lengthy sketch in Episode 4, the ''Dead Ringers'' team are parodying the ending to ''[[The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King|The Return of the King]]'' film, and its length, by having a voice-over over their version of [[The Grey Havens (scene)|The Grey Havens]]: "''Coming soon on DVD, a must-have for all fans of The Lord of the Rings. Yes, all of the extra endings to ''Return of the King'' that they couldn't fit in the film.''" [[Gandalf]] suggests they could catch a later boat - which [[Frodo Baggins|Frodo]] suggests will come "''about 9''" - and that in the meantime they could play [[wikipedia:Scrabble|Scrabble]]. "''We know how disappointed you were that the cinema release of ''The Return of King'' had only 23 final scenes, now experience the DVD director's cut with all 98 endings.''" Every time [[Frodo Baggins|Frodo]] and Gandalf are about to leave, they have a reason to come back: Gandalf tells [[Meriadoc Brandybuck|Merry]] that [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Star_Wars_Episode_V:_The_Empire_Strikes_Back he is Merry's father]; they have a custard-pie fight; they destroyed the [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Death_Star Death Star]. As they are about to leave (now with Merry, [[Samwise Gamgee|Sam]] and [[Peregrin Took|Pippin]] reading newspapers in a bored manner), [[wikipedia:Jaws (film)|a shark arrives]]. "''You can relive the cinematic experience of starting to leave because you think the film has finished, only having to sit back down again and again... this time from the comfort of your own home. Every last bum-numbing ending is here.''"

Finally, in Episode 6, [[Gandalf]] and [[Frodo Baggins|Frodo]] are once again at the [[Grey Havens]], beckoning [[Bilbo Baggins|Bilbo]] to the ship. Bilbo refuses, saying that he wants to go home and the [[elves]] dislike him; acting like an obstinate - and paranoid - elderly man, refusing to go into care, he insists, "''I'm not getting on any boat! ... You're just after my savings. I went on a f***ing quest for you young [[hobbits]], and this is all the thanks I get! You lay one finger on me, beardy, and I'll call social services!''"

'''Ring of Darkness''' ("Кольцо Тьмы") is a Russian-language fantasy series set in [[Middle-earth]] 300 years after the [[War of the Ring]], written by [[Nick Perumov]].<ref>[http://www.lotrplaza.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=231574 A cold douche for Tolkien fanfic], post by klemenko, 19 February 2009.

*[[1995]]: ''[[Adamant Chenni|The Adamant of Henna]]''

==From the author's web site==

Having written the last lines of "The Lord of the Rings", J.R.R. Tolkien has closed the door to the world of elves, dwarves, goblins, hobbits and men which he has created, and threw away the magical key to it. And only one author, Nick Perumov, was able to find the missing link to the mysterious and fragile world of the Middle-Earth. The job proved to be difficult as with each step the road kept getting steeper, each incorrect word could have ruined the magic of Tolkien. But talent has prevailed. J.R.R.T.'s world has come alive, has changed, has aquired new voice and depth and...has transformed into Perumov's world. And what Perumov thought of as a loose continuation of "The Lord of the Rings" has transformed into the vivid, magnificent epic trilogy, one of the most recognizable in the Russian and world science fiction genre.

'''''Looking for the King: An Inklings Novel''''' is a novel about the [[Inklings]]. The story involves a fictional portrayal of [[J.R.R. Tolkien]].

==From the publisher==

It is 1940, and American Tom McCord, a 23-year-old aspiring doctoral candidate, is in England researching the historical evidence for the legendary King Arthur. There he meets perky and intuitive Laura Hartman, a fellow American staying with her aunt in Oxford, and the two of them team up for an even more ambitious and dangerous quest.

Aided by the Inklings-that illustrious circle of scholars and writers made famous by its two most prolific members, C. S. Lewis and J. R. R. Tolkien-Tom and Laura begin to suspect that the fabled Spear of Destiny, the lance that pierced the side of Christ on the cross, is hidden somewhere in England.

Tom discovers that Laura has been having mysterious dreams, which seem to be related to the subject of his research, and, though doubtful of her visions, he hires her as an assistant. Heeding the insights and advice of the Inklings, while becoming aware of being shadowed by powerful and secretive foes who would claim the spear as their own, Tom and Laura end up on a thrilling treasure hunt that crisscrosses the English countryside and leads beyond a search for the elusive relics of Camelot into the depths of the human heart and soul.

Weaving his fast-paced narrative with actual quotes from the works of the Inklings, author David Downing offers a vivid portrait of Oxford and draws a welcome glimpse into the personalities and ideas of Lewis and Tolkien, while never losing sight of his action-packed adventure story and its two very appealing main characters.

"This superbly gripping novel about dreams coming true is itself a dream come true. Lewis and Tolkien come alive as real-life characters, playing their sagacious parts to realistic perfection as the protagonists follow their Arthurian quest pursued by deadly enemies. For lovers of Arthurian romance and for admirers of Tolkien and Lewis, this is indeed a dream come true!"
- Joseph Pearce, Author, ''Tolkien: Man and Myth''

"The subtitle of this book is "An Inklings Novel." That claim might seem presumptuous at first. But lo--it is an Inklings novel. My own guess is that Lewis, Tolkien, and Williams would all be mightily pleased with it. All three of them, as it happens, figure as characters in the story, which is Arthurian, but set in the contemporary world--very much in the vein of That Hideous Strength and War in Heaven. The Inklings themselves are flawlessly depicted, as are the two protagonists, a very appealing young man and woman. All Inklings lovers will be highly delighted."
- Thomas Howard, Author, ''Narnia and Beyond''

"A highly engaging historical mystery adventure that brings C. S. Lewis and his friends and ideas to life. Fans of Lewis and Tolkien will love it. I couldn't put it down!"
- Peter J. Schakel Author, ''The Way into Narnia'' and ''Imagination and the Arts in C. S. Lewis''

"Steeped in Arthurian lore, the mystery of the grail legends, and World War II intrigue, this engaging tale of a young man's search for a hidden relic ultimately uncovers treasure of a far different kind. David Downing's homage to C.S. Lewis, J.R.R. Tolkien and Charles Williams succeeds masterfully in bringing these historical figures to life in the midst of an unfolding spiritual thriller. This is a beguiling and enjoyable read -- laced throughout with romance, wry humor and questions of eternal consequence."
- Marjorie Lamp Mead, Associate Director, The Marion E. Wade Center, Wheaton College

David C. Downing, PhD, is the R. W. Schlosser Professor of English at Elizabethtown College in Pennsylvania. He is the author of four award-winning books on C. S. Lewis: Planets in Peril, The Most Reluctant Convert, Into the Region of Awe: Mysticism in C. S. Lewis and Into the Wardrobe: C. S. Lewis and the Narnia Chronicles . Downing has also written short fiction for ''Christianity Today'' and other periodicals.

==Unexposed collections and rumours==

===Wheelbarrows at Dawn===

Similarly to what was done in the ''[[Black & White Ogre Country|Black & White Ogre Country: The Lost Tales of Hilary Tolkien]]'', glimpses of the correspondence between J.R.R. Tolkien and his brother [[Hilary Tolkien|Hilary]] were supposed to be published in late 2010 in ''[[Wheelbarrows at Dawn|Wheelbarrows at Dawn: Memories of Hilary Tolkien]]''. However, the publication of the latter book was cancelled, and the letters remain unpublished (as of November 2010).

=== Correspondence between Tolkien and R.W. Burchfield ===

During the years [[1953]]-[[1972|72]], Tolkien corresponded with [[R.W. Burchfield]]. The collection of letters is kept at the [[Bodleian Library]]:<ref>{{webcite|author=|articleurl=http://www.bodley.ox.ac.uk/dept/scwmss/wmss/online/single-items/guardbooks/engc7284.html|articlename=Guard-book of miscellaneous items, 19th-20th cent.|dated=|website=[http://www.bodleian.ox.ac.uk/bodley Bodleian.ox.ac.uk]|accessed=19 March 2012}}</ref>

Also a description of the letters by Elizabeth Burchfield, widow of R.W. Burchfield. / '''Acquisition:''' Bequest of R.W. Burchfield, per Elizabeth Burchfield, Dec. 2004.}}

===Correspondence between Tolkien and Pablo Martínez del Río===

[[José Manuel Ferrández Bru]] has noted that a collection of Tolkien's letters to [[Wikipedia:Martínez del Río|Pablo Martínez del Río]], whose younger cousins Tolkien took to vacation in Paris in [[1913]], has been donated to the [http://www.cehm.com.mx/BaseCatalogo/catalogo.htm Centro de Estudios de Historia de México of Condumex]. As of 2011, Ferrández Bru wrote that Tolkien's letters unfortunately "are mixed with huge numbers of other documents" and that it will take years before they have been catalogued and available for research.<ref>José Manuel Ferrández Bru, "'Wingless fluttering'": Some Personal Connections in Tolkien's Formative Years", in {{TS|8}}, pp. 63-4 (note 21)</ref>

===Correspondence between Tolkien and Sterling E. Lanier===

In an article in [[Locus 149|''Locus'' #149]] ([[1973]]), the science fiction author [[Wikipedia:Sterling E. Lanier|Sterling E. Lanier]] mentions his correspondence with Tolkien, consisting of a "dozen or so" letters. [[John D. Rateliff]] has provided the following quote from Lanier's article:<ref>{{webcite|author=[[John D. Rateliff]]|articleurl=http://sacnoths.blogspot.se/2012/07/new-arrivals-2nd-of-2.html|articlename=The New Arrivals (2nd of 2)|dated=8 July 2012|website=[http://sacnoths.blogspot.com/ Sacnoth's Scriptorium]|accessed=9 July 2012}}</ref>

{{blockquote|His last great legacy to the world, the ''Silmarillion'', has been saved. He wrote me years ago, that it was done in verse! He seemed puzzled in a mild way, that at the time, no publisher seemed interested in it. I recall asking what he was doing for a comic or light element, since no Hobbits existed this early. He agreed this was a problem, but felt it could be solved. I can't wait."}}

===Letters to The Society===

A collection of Tolkien's letters to [[The Society]] is kept at the [[Bodleian Library]].<ref>{{webcite|author=|articleurl=http://www.bodley.ox.ac.uk/dept/scwmss/wmss/online/modern/society/society.html|articlename=Catalogue of papers of The Society, University of Oxford|dated=|website=[http://www.bodleian.ox.ac.uk/bodley Bodleian Library]|accessed=16 January 2012}}</ref>

=== Letters to Simonne d'Ardenne ===

[[John Tolkien|John]] and [[Priscilla Tolkien]] mention briefly in ''[[The Tolkien Family Album]]'' that [[Simonne d'Ardenne]]: ''"was especially close to Priscilla, up until her death in 1986. She entrusted to Priscilla a great bundle of letters she had received from J.R.R.T. over a period of forty years."'' (p.68). This large collection of letters seems never to have reached a publication.

===Letters to the Hogans===

In the article "Tolkien's time in 'Erin'" (in anticipation of the publication of the Irish translation of ''The Hobbit''), published in ''The Irish Times'' on 17 March 2012, Dr. Tom Hogan mentions that Tolkien:

{{blockquote|stayed many times in our house on visits to Ireland. These visits started in the 1950s. He came to Ireland for a couple of weeks each year acting as an external examiner of English in UCD. He worked alongside my late father Jeremiah who was professor of English there at the time. A number of letters from Tolkien to us are in my possession.}}

No dates of individual letters are provided, but Hogan quotes from several letters in the article.<ref>{{webcite|author=Tom Hogan|articleurl=http://www.irishtimes.com/newspaper/letters/2012/0317/1224313474042.html|articlename=Tolkien's time in 'Erin'|dated=17 March 2012|website=[http://www.irishtimes.com/ IrishTimes.com]|accessed=19 March 2012}}</ref>

=== The Letters of J.R.R. Tolkien (expanded edition) ===

On February 2nd, 2004, ''TheOneRing.net'' featured an article on the Tolkien Convention in Brussels. An expanded edition of ''[[The Letters of J.R.R. Tolkien]]'' was promised:

"...on the occasion of TFY's presentation on January 19, Marco Respinti and Oronzo Cilli, in the presence of Elisabetta Sgarbi (Editorial Director of Bompiani), spoke of the possibility of a revision of the Italian edition of Tolkien's letters, gathered by his son Christopher and his official biographer, Humprey Carpenter. Bompiani decided to publish a new edition, revised and enlarged, and the Italian Tolkien Society is in contant with an english publisher to have an international version of the book. The volume will be introduced by an essay of Priscilla Tolkien and it will boast contributions by Tolkien experts as Mike Foster, Christopher Garbowski, Brian Rosebury, Andrew McMurry, Paolo Paron, Gianfranco de Turris, Adolfo Morganti, Marco Respinti, Oronzo Cilli, Stefano Giuliano, Jimmy Chavez, Jeroen Van Den Berg, David Beatene and many others. In fact Cilli has managed to obtain from the British Public Record Office the rights to the publication of some documents regarding Tolkien's experience in the First World War. The new edition might include these new documents (never published before in any book) and a short essay on Tolkien and the war."

=== The Tea Towel Letter ===

The web site ''Tolkien Collector's Guide'' has an article (on a rare tea towel) with a reference from a supposedly unpublished letter. The background is that George Allen and Unwin in 1971 commissioned the towel, featuring a map by Pauline Baynes, on the occasion of a celebration. The author of the article says: "[...] it is clear Tolkien was there, since I read in an (unpublished) letter he himself had received such a teatowel at the 'party' or 'meeting' and was very happy with it."<ref>{{webcite|author=|articleurl=http://www.tolkienguide.com/modules/wiwimod/index.php?page=Tea+Towel|articlename=Tea Towel|dated=17 September 2008|website=Guide|accessed=14 June 2013}}</ref>

== Hoaxes ==

=== The Letters, Part II ===

Throughout the early issues of ''[[Vinyar Tengwar]]'', there was reference to "The Letters of J.R.R. Tolkien part II", but it was revealed to be a joke.{{fact}}

=== Dr. Higgins and possible eBay frauds ===

The forum of the website ''Tolkien Collector's Guide'' contains discussions (in which [[Wayne G. Hammond]] and [[Christina Scull]] have taken part) on a circulation on eBay of possible fraud Tolkien letters. Among these are said to be letters adressed to a "Dr. Higgins". Many of these contested letters are typewritten, with a signature by J.R.R. Tolkien in blue ink.<ref>[http://www.tolkienguide.com/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=1160&forum=18&post_id=5605#forumpost5605 Another Tolkien eBay Letter] at [http://www.tolkienguide.com/ TolkienGuide.com] (accessed 29 November 2011)</ref>

2014-10-13T06:25:54Z

Kerim96:

'''Writings by year''' is an attempt to chronologically list all published writings relating to [[J.R.R. Tolkien]] and his works (see also ''[[Index:Writings by J.R.R. Tolkien|Writings by J.R.R. Tolkien]]''). The list is focused on publication of books, but major journals and important newspaper articles will also be listed (non-scholarly journals and game book series will generally only be listed when they first appear).<ref>Main works consulted for the compilation of this list has been (1) [http://acunix.wheatonma.edu/mdrout/TolkienBiblio/ ''A Bibliography of Scholarly Studies of J.R.R. Tolkien and His Works''] ([[Michael D.C. Drout]] et al.), (2) [http://www.forodrim.org/bibliography/tolklist.html ''A Chronological Bibliography of Books About Tolkien''] ([[Åke Bertenstam]]), and (3) ''[[The J.R.R. Tolkien Companion and Guide]]''.</ref> Non-English titles will be added when these have a description in English on Tolkien Gateway.

The Hobbit (1967 stage adaptation)

2014-10-06T07:26:50Z

Kerim96:

[[File:The Hobbit, the Musical Programme.jpg|thumb|right|The programme from ''The Hobbit'' production]]
'''''The Hobbit''''' was a [[Wikipedia:New College School|New College School]] ([[Oxford]]) musical adaptation of [[J.R.R. Tolkien]]'s ''[[The Hobbit]]''.<ref name="HobbitRadio">''The Hobbit, the Musical'', radio programme (London: [[BBC]], [[2012]])</ref> It was written by [[Humphrey Carpenter]] and [[Paul Drayton]].

Through his family connections, Carpenter was able to visit Tolkien in order to seek his permission. Indeed it is this visit and encounter that Carpenter described in his biography of Tolkien.<ref>{{HM|Bio}}, "A Visit"</ref> Tolkien gave his permission and went to see the musical performed along with his wife [[Edith Tolkien|Edith]].<ref name="HobbitRadio"/>

Carpenter wrote: ''"I remember vividly when he came to see the show, held in the tiny school hall. He sat near the front, and since I was playing the double bass in the orchestra, I was able to watch his reactions.These were very simple: he had a broad smile on his face whenever the narration and dialogue stuck to his own words, which was replaced by a frown the moment there was the slightest departure from the book."'' <ref name=> “Our Brief Encounter”, The Sunday Times Magazine, 25 November, 2001, by [[Humphrey Carpenter]]</ref>

It has been purported to be the first adaptation of ''[[The Hobbit]]'';<ref name="HobbitRadio"/> this is not true, however, if one considers [[Gene Deitch]]'s [[The Hobbit (1966 film)|film adaptation]] from [[1966]].

==Cast and audience==

Among the cast were George Halliday (as Bilbo Baggins), Martin Pickard (as Gandalf), [[Wikipedia:Simon Halsey|Simon Halsey]], Ashley Goodall and Stephen Lumsden. Alan Butterworth, the headmaster of the school, as Smaug the Dragon, speaking through a megaphone.

The audience included [[Wikipedia:Howard Goodall|Howard Goodall]] (who watched his older brother Ashley Goodall), and Tolkien himself on the last night ([[17 December]]).

'''The Tolkien Name in History''' is a book in the ''Our Name in History'' series published by Ancestry.co.uk, a series that documents birth, military, death and other records about various surnames in [[England]].

==Contents==
This book lists various statistics of the Tolkien family, such as most occurring names and locations, at various points in history, accompanied by some general historical background and irrelevant trivia. Many other, more common surnames have also been done (see [http://www.amazon.co.uk/s?ie=UTF8&275-2297489-8464438=&redirect=true&search-type=ss&index=books-uk&field-author=Ancestry.co.uk%20The%20Generations%20Network here]), making the relatively rare name "Tolkien" almost dwarfed by the "context" - statistics rarely (if ever) reach double figures.
