 Description Book: 

?Here is something that no devotee of the Hobbit epic can afford to miss, while awaiting a further instalment of the history of these fascinating people.? So declared the jacket of this book when it was first published some fifty years ago.One of the most intriguing characters in The Lord of the Rings, the amusing and enigmatic Tom Bombadil, also appears in verses said to have been written by Hobbits and preserved in the ?Red Book? with stories of Bilbo and Frodo Baggins and their friends. The Adventures of Tom Bombadil collects these and other poems, mainly concerned with legends and jests of the Shire at the end of the Third Age.This special edition has been expanded for the first time to include earlier versions of some of Tolkien?s poems, a fragment of a prose story with Tom Bombadil, and comprehensive notes by acclaimed Tolkien scholars Christina Scull and Wayne G. Hammond.

The Art of Middle Earth

J.R.R. Tolkien was not just a writer but also an artist and within his books, he depicted and drew in his creations.

His work has affected thousand of proceeding works of fiction. He is the phenomenon that started new worlds, stories, and games. J.R.R. Tolkien became an inspiration to every fantasy writer/storyteller. Having new fans almost every decade.

Tolkien drew maps and creatures in his books along with inventing new dialects that would be written amongst the pages. But I doubt he ever thought about the generations of artwork that was to come from his stories.

Thousands of works have been created in inspiration. Drawings, stories, and even videos. Creating, along with the movie, a never-ending chain of art. You could even call the movies fan work considering how the director filmed and with the aid of the fan actors, managed to create these movies.

Just One Word 03/15/2017: NEWEST - A recent gift to myself, this contains all the sketch maps and other art Tolkien made for and about Lord of the Rings, beautifully reproduced and put together with amazingly detailed commentary by Hammond and Scull, the best Tolkien editors in the business. Highly recommended.

The Shores Of Faery, J.R.R Tolkien (1915)

J.R.R. Tolkien - Artist & Illustrator, Wayne G. Hammond, Christina Scull (1995)

East of the Moon, west of the Sun

There stands a lonely hill;

Its feet are in the pale green sea,

Its towers are white and still,

Beyond Taniquetil

In Valinor.

Comes never there but one lone star

That fled before the moon;

And there the Two Trees naked are

That bore Night’s silver bloom,

That bore the globéd fruit of Noon

In Valinor.

There are the shores of Faëry

With their moonlit pebbled strand

Whose foam is silver music

On the opalescent floor

Beyond the great sea-shadows

On the marches of the sand

That stretches on for ever

To the dragonheaded door,

The gateway of the Moon,

Beyond Taniquetil

In Valinor.

West of the Sun, east of the Moon

Lies the haven of the star,

The white town of the Wanderer

And the rocks of Eglamar.

There Wingelot is harboured,

While Eärendel looks afar

O’er the darkness of the waters

Between here and Eglamar —

Out, out, beyond Taniquetil

In Valinor afar.

J.R.R. Tolkien, Shores of Faery (1915)

Thanks for the David Day warning! I'm not deep enough into Tolkien scholarship to know anyone's names but this dude's books get recommended to me a lot on Amazon. Nice to know that basically everyone into the topic hates this guy lmao. Both funny and stopping me from wasting money.

I’m not really deep into Tolkien scholarship myself, but I became aware of Day simply because so many bookstores place his books right next to Tolkien’s, meaning he’s the one Tolkien scholar (the word “scholar” used in the loosest possible meaning here) the casual reader of Tolkien is most likely to encounter.

My main issues with him are mostly what is mentioned in the Tolkien Gateway article:

He gets basic facts wrong, like mixing up Gondor and Gondolin on one occasion

He presents notions for which there is little or no textual support, as though they are indisputable facts supported by canon

As reference works, his books fail because they do not cite sources for the various pieces of information, nor provide any cross references between the various entries. As entertainment, they fail because they’re just not terribly entertaining

A better book to check out if you want to dip your toes in the accessible end of Tolkien scholarship is The Lord of the Rings: A Reader’s Companion by Wayne G. Hammond and Christina Scull, which contains referenced annotations on the entirety of LotR and its appendices.

does anyone know where the heraldic devices for human and elven characters can be found?

I think this seems fine as a source, though not all of these are Tolkien's original drawings.https://forodrim.org/gobennas/heraldry/heraldry.htm

There's also some explanation there.

You can find a few of Tolkien's own drawings here, though there are other artist's depictions also; just look at the individual image descriptions.

http://tolkiengateway.net/wiki/Category:Images_of_devices_and_symbols

But the best source for his original drawings of these devices is the book J. R. R. Tolkien: Artist and Illustrator by Wayne G. Hammond and Christina Scull.

Now I'm going to sound condescending.

You could have found this very easily by googling "tolkien heraldic devices;" I also could have told you complete nonsense instead. A lot of people online will enjoy telling you nonsense, and it's generally a better idea to find out yourself.

I'm going to link an article about basic search tools to make googling more effective, though you don't need those to find this!

Not meant as an insult, you activated my eldest sibling response. ;)

I am in fact a Hobbit

I am in fact a Hobbit (in all but size). I like gardens, trees and unmechanized farmlands; I smoke a pipe, and like good plain food (unrefrigerated), but detest French cooking; I like, and even dare to wear in these dull days, ornamental waistcoats. I am fond of mushrooms (out of a field); have a very simple sense of humour (which even my appreciative critics find tiresome); I go to bed late and get up late (when possible). I do not travel much.

thebooky replied to your post “So, according to the LOTR companion I’m reading, Sauron tortured...”

Which lotr companion is this?

It is called “The Lord of the Rings: A Reader’s Companion” by Wayne G. Hammond and Christina Scull.  This particular info was sourced from something that was partially published in Unfinished Tales.

Wicked Games Part 8

Amaya’s Bedroom ^^^

Amaya P.O.V

Four had stopped the simulation just in time. No Abnegation had been hurt throughout all of this and I was just happy that everyone I cared about and loved was alright. I hadn’t spoken to Eric since he saved me from dying two weeks ago but I also hadn’t seen him since. So, I wasn’t avoiding him. He must have been avoiding me. I spent all my time either training to become stronger or with Tobias and his new girlfriend and her friends. I found that I actually got along with them. Even Peter had become less of a dick. But I could feel that something was missing. That someone was missing. I needed him in my life, even as just a friend I didn’t care but there was something in my heart missing.

“Mya hurry up were leaving!” I heard Tris yell from my front door, we were going to a pub so that I could drown out my sorrows with alcohol. Even my brother was coming along, which was rare now that he and Tris, or Six as she started to be called, had both started in the control room alternating shifts.

“Please don’t call me Mya anymore.” I asked her as I walked out of my apartment and locked the door. She nodded before Tobias swung his arm around my neck.

“I can still call you Mya, though right?” he asked me.

“Maybe, well see. That’s what he called me too so I kind of want to stop anything that is going to make me think about him.”

“Ah so you lied to me the day before initiation I see.” Tobias nudged me closer to him. I pushed him away from me before walking ahead and catching up with Christina and Will. They wouldn’t tease me. Although I always feel like a third wheel around them.

I had lost everyone about two hours in and the only person I could find was Peter.

“Hey Amaya! I just wanted to apologise about how awful I was during initiation,” he placed his hand on my shoulder, I nodded up at him as he pulled me closer. Over his shoulder I noticed a pair of grey blue eyes watching for afar, beer in hand sipping slowly. “I just hope there’s no hard feelings?” Peter asked me.

“No Peter! Were good.” I ended up sculling the last of my drink before placing the empty bottle on the closest table to me and Peter.

“Good, dance with me?” I giggled and took his hand as a faster song came on and I became the best stripper in the world.

Suddenly nothing else mattered, I didn’t care that the man I loved was with someone else, I didn’t care that I was a Dauntless leader becoming a stripper on a bar, and I also didn’t care that the man I loved was watching me from afar as Peters hand made their way to my hips to help me off the bar and to dance with just him. He pulled me close and my hips swayed to the best of the song, causing Peter’s to follow my lead. I could feel the glare being shot at us through the back of my head. He was close to exploding. The first time in weeks I had even seen Eric, and this is what I do? I was riling him up, I knew what I was doing, I was putting on an act to get a reaction out of Eric. I spun around I Peter’s arms and planted a kiss to his lips. I felt him tense up but then he relaxed and his found my hips again before I pulled away and walked back over to the bar.

I ordered myself another drink before I felt a presence beside me.

“Put it on my tab too please, and the rest of her drinks for the night. Don’t drink too much tonight.” I felt his arm wrap around my waist.

“Aren’t you dating someone Eric?” I still hadn’t looked up at him instead going for my drink and downing half of it before I turned around to him.

“We broke up, now let me buy you drinks and then make sure you get home safely please.” He pleaded with me as I pushed his arm off me and downed the rest of my drink ordering another one.

“Whatever Eric, just do it from a distance. Tonight was supposed to be about me forgetting about your stupid perfect blue eyes and that stupid smile that only I ever get to see, or about how Erudite you actually are for the toughest man in Dauntless!” I watched his shoulders slump in defeat before he walked off to his spot at the edge of the dance floor. I noticed Ange dancing with a random on the dancefloor, but Eric's eyes never left my body as I manoeuvred my way through the jumping bodies.

Maybe they had broken up because the next time I saw Ange she had her tongue down someone else’s throat. I scrunched up my face before walking over to Eric.

“Look I'm sorry about before. Wanna dance with me?”

“I don’t dance.” He didn’t look at me until I grabbed his large hand in my small one and started to drag him to the dancefloor with me. His hands found my waist, but he was gentle with me. I started to grind my hips against his as the atmosphere of the dancefloor us, suddenly I was Eric's personal stripper and he was loving it.

The next morning, I couldn’t remember a damn thing from the night before as Tobias came to open my blinds and he handed me a mug of steaming hot strong coffee.

“Good morning sunshine. Good night last night?” he asked as he perched himself on the edge of my bed. I had no idea what he was talking about and refrained from kicking him off my bed.

“What did I do this time?” I held my head in my free hand as Tobias laughed out loud.

“Everyone saw you with Eric. Also, Eric brought you home before he came to get me.” I groaned and flopped back on my bed.

“I can’t remember anything Tobi, did I do anything with him?” I rubbed my sore head before there was a knock on my front door.

“I’ll get it.” I heard Tris say from my lounge room. I shot my brother a glare before there was a gentle tap on my door frame to my bedroom.

“I’ll leave you two to it then.” Tobias got up from my bed and Eric replaced it.

“You don’t remember anything to do you Mya?” I shook my head him and nearly finished my coffee.

“Did we…?” I asked gesturing between the two of us. He shook his head.

“I would never take advantage of you like that Mya, you mean too much to me, and I should have said something to you earlier, but I was afraid, you know me too well. Well you know about the Erudite part of me that still has a strong hold. Ange and I are no longer together, happened about a week ago. Because truthfully, I never loved her, I realised there was one person that I did love, and only that one person will forever hold my heart. And no matter what I will always be weak to her smile, and when I watched my father try to take that beautiful smile away from me, my whole world crumbled and that was when I knew I loved you. I love you Amaya Eaton. And I always will.” I knelt up to him as he looked me in the eyes.

He wasn’t going to back down from this. I knew he meant it. I could see it in his eyes. I felt his hand caress my neck as he pushed my hair over my shoulder. I melted at his touch and leaned up to his face where I rested a hand on his face feeling the stubble that was just barely there. His eyes fluttered closed and mine followed as he pulled me closer to him, his lips ghosted over mine gently before my hands laced into his hair at the base of his neck and pulled him closer crashing my lips against his. It’s not like I had waited for this moment since I arrived at Dauntless or anything. But it felt so much better than it did in my dreams. He tasted faintly of coffee and mint with a slight air of cigarette smoke. I breathed in his scent as the kiss heated up. I gently pushed Eric away not wanting to go any further and loving every minute of this kiss.

“I love you too Eric Coulter.”

It finally happened!!!! OMG who was hanging out for this scene to happen?
