The Hall of Fire

Can I join the gang?

I think maybe "obceso" is a typo - "obseso" would make more sense:


And I desire you obsessively [madly?], I thirst for you
I breathe the breeze of your kisses and your breath,
and with one breath I put at your feet everything you see
willing to live and to die for you.

I like Howe's work too - one of my favourite paintings of his is "The Door of Night" with just the glimpse of Eärendil's white ship light by the Silmaril, gliding through the portal, and the lovely contrast between it and the dark, evil creatures adorning the arches. http://www.john-howe.c...

So how would you portray them, Sauron?

Very exciting news, thanks Al! :) I am intrigued by the teaser, and can't wait to see Howe's interpretation of Melkor in full. It's hard to find an interpretation of Melkor before he became Morgoth, with all the armour & silmarils in the crown, etc. I hope John goes on to portray some of the oth...

It was certainly an attempt to make us feel more sympathy for his character.

Yes, it would be great to see Saruman's arc fleshed out, but , of course, it has to be done so the White Council doesn't suspect anything before Gandalf goes to Orthanc in FotR.

Yes, please, Voronwë! http://files3.fluxstatic.com/00A70CB3017E07F700070FF6FFFF/TN1/Jpg/B http://files3.fluxstatic.com/00A70CB6017E07F700070FF6FFFF/TN1/Jpg/B http://files2.fluxstatic.com/00A70CB8017E07F700070FF6FFFF/...

Al - I've already scanned the pages onto my PC, if it saves you a job. How do I post them as images here?

Hear, Hear!

I'm quite sure they won't show 10-year-old Aragorn with Arwen, as they didn't meet until he was 20, anyways. I mean, not without a crazy re-write worse than anything we've seen from PJ & Co so far..... Arwen shouldn't be in THE HOBBIT....PERIOD. She wasn't there at the time. It would just be nic...

:agree: I know it's not the same, but over here we have a formal process: By-elections A by-election takes place when a seat in the House of Commons becomes vacant between general elections. If there are several vacant seats then a number of by-elections can take place on the same day. Reasons for b...

Good call, Prim. :agree: There's a lot that happens within a relatively short period of time after THE HOBBIT that could help the flow into FotR. I'm sure we would all like to see Balin & Gandalf's 2949 visit to Bag End - that would set up the Moria re-colonization attempt - Aragorn & Arwen'...

Yep! Usually only snows for 1 day a year where I live, if at all.

Here's a couple more:
