- "For not we but those who come after will make the legends of our time. The green earth, say you? That is a mighty matter of legend, though you tread it under the light of day!"
- ― Aragorn, The Two Towers, "The Riders of Rohan"
J.R.R.Tolkien by Donato Giancola
The legendarium is the entirety of J.R.R. Tolkien's works concerning his imagined world of Arda.
Tolkien himself used the term,[1] and also referred to his "mythology" in the same sense.[2][3][4]
The term of legendarium is not the same as "canon". The legendarium includes all Tolkien's corpus in its entirety, even mutually contradicting versions, both earlier and later stages of its conception.
