I offer a link to the Silmarillion here in the hope that, the next time somebody tries to actually do the Second Age of Middle-Earth, they take the time to go and get the rights to the correct goram book. I could tolerate many things of that show. Not understanding what the names mean is just a bridge too bloody far.

I’m picking The Silmarillion because I’ve been finishing up Rings of Power (of which more anon). So, on the oft chance that you haven’t yet read the collated worldbuilding notes of a man who could have been the greatest GM in the universe, here you go. Enjoy.
I brought a copy of JRR Tolkien’s The Silmarillion with me to the event because I couldn’t be social or tell people where to pitch their tents all day. It has been a while since I read it – and I suspect that I wasn’t as intelligent back then as I am now, because I definitely missed bits. I need hardly state that it’s a damn brilliant book. But I will, anyway: it’s a damn brilliant book… which encouraged more than a few lesser ones. Not Tolkien’s fault, mind you.
Oh, and regular posting tomorrow. I am beat.
OK, I admit it: this is mostly a reminder to me to reread The Silmarillion. I get that most of my readers are going to be at least familiar with the book, and most of the rest of JRR Tolkien’s work. Still, you never know, right?
And so, adieu to The Great Book of Amber.
