About Me

With a nod to all those role players out there, this is not an rp page. But it's not a personal page, either--rather one of the few to highlight Tolkien and Tolkienic Art. Any RP'ers are more than welcome, however, as well as anyone with a passing interest in Tolkein's work.I first read LOTR in 1975, the first of four times since. And while I am a fan of the films, they do not stand as tall in my memory as the books. Gandalf is my favorite character, thus the tribute to him on this page.Check this link for a great biography of the wizard at arwenundomiel.com: Gandalf Biography Get your own
