The Full Story of Frodo Baggins

June 8, 2022

Greetings! We will be taking a look at Frodo Baggins before and after he took the tremendous task of carrying the One Ring to Mordor, an event that will change him forever. This will not be fully exhaustive, for I will mainly be focusing on the most well-known events, and what sets him apart from the other characters. Despite being the main character, Frodo is often overlooked and misunderstood - especially as it's easy to forget that he has been tasked with (arguably) the biggest burden ...

The Complete Story of Rivendell

May 11, 2022      1 Comment

“[Elrond’s] house was perfect, whether you liked food, or sleep, or work, or story-telling, or singing, or just sitting and thinking, best, or a pleasant mixture of them all. Merely to be there was a cure for weariness. ... Evil things did not come into the secret valley of Rivendell.” J.R.R. Tolkien, The Hobbit “A Short Rest” Imladris (n.), or Rivendell, its common speech translation and the most widely used term today - is located at the edge of the Bruinen River, and the eastern edge ...

A Complete Story of Celeborn and Galadriel

April 13, 2022      1 Comment

Today we are going to take a look at Celeborn and Galadriel. You may have heard of them from Lord of the Rings, but did you know they have a long and intense history? Let’s dive deep on where it all started! Galadriel Their origin was compared in earlier drafts to the Lord of the Rings, App B. Galadriel is known to go east into the Mountains and Beleriand alone, even through the Fellowship of the Ring but a later version appeared in the appendices saying they went to the mountains ...

What would mortal lives in Valinor consist of?

March 16, 2022      Leave a Comment

Greetings, and today we are going to discuss a theory of what mortal lives in Valinor would consist of. So last time, I gave an overview on Valinor and finished off with how the Hobbits went there. Today we will be going in depth of what that would entail, and the resulting aftermaths. Please don't take it at face value - it will be just more of a personal take on what mortal lives in Valinor would look like. Did Tolkien ever write a story about mortal lives in Valinor? Tolkien ...

Valinor: The Hobbits + An Overview of the Undying Lands

March 9, 2022      2 Comments

At the end of the Lord of the Rings Series, Bilbo, Frodo and Sam eventually go to Valinor, known commonly as the "Undying Lands." Tolkien also notes this as well, in letter #246, all while defending what Frodo has gone through on his journey. They all went at different times (well - sure Bilbo and Frodo went together, while Sam went after the passing of his wife Rosie). And one thing they had in common was that they had held the One Ring. But what made them go to Valinor? Today we will ...
