About môrgondír
I was introduced to Middle-earth via various animated adaptations, two from Rankin-Bass and one from Ralph Bakshi which I watched in the late 1970s/early 1980s. I read the source books for these movies contemporaneously or shortly thereafter, later went on to read The Silmarillion, The Letters of J.R.R. Tolkien, as well as parts of Unfinished Tales, and The History of Middle-earth series.
Part of me is continuously drawn back into Middle-earth not only due to its wonderful prose, but also most significantly due to the interpretative artwork produced by many talented artists over the years. I admired calendar art from creators like The Brothers Hildebrant, Roger Garland, and Michael Kaluta, as well as works by artists contributing to the ICE-produced MERP series of gaming supplements, and the Middle-earth: The Wizards Collectible Card Game featuring art from artists such as Angus McBride, Angelo Montanini and Liz Danforth.

A note concerning my username
While it is not canonical, I deliberately chose to use diacritical marks in my username - this represents the confluence of my personal style with Tolkien's invention - a convergence of my sensibility with Tolkien's own - my intent being to add visual flair to the appearance of the word. In similar manner, the use of the lowercase 'm' represents a modern sensibility, to some degree a recognition of the ever-changing face of language, especially during the Age of Information & changes wrought by the Internet.
