The credit for this goes to some kinnies and a person on the LOTRO Forums named Colred and they found it on the LOTRO Forums and wanted to save it. This is extraordinarily tongue-in-cheek and I laughed really hard when I read it and wanted to share it. It is a few years old but it is still relevant and very accurate. Hope you enjoy!   The Guardian: The...

With volume 2 of the epic story complete, I have created a PDF that includes the first two volumes in a single document. This is pretty much the same poem that appeared in installments the last few months, though I did perform some editing sand add an epilogue. You can download the text here.

Arad, You tell me sorry news.  I am sorry for Avorthal, though I have not met him.  And I equally feel sorry for his father.  No man deserves to lose his only son and not know where he lies.  Funny, but such a scenario is familiar to me somehow. So, you have met Senrathalion?  I confess, I do not know the other one, but before father and your mother met, I...

It was warm in the North...

Hey Everyone, I have been producing content for my LOTRO blog site theninny.wordpress.com for several months. One of my screen shot projects has revolved around trees of Middle Earth.
