After the War

[churrlo]

Yeah but it looked nothing like it was supposed to, at least in my opinion. -_- It wasn't what I was expecting sad

Thanks wink I am something of a bookworm so I have a pretty good memory of booky things. I also just finished reading The Atlas of Middle Earth so that helped with the geography part. Hehe.

I thought the armor was well-depicted; the distinction between the different groups was well-maintained, and it felt real to me, in terms of practicality. However, the movies' looks were heavily influenced by John Howe and Alan Lee, both of whom are pretty much THE icons for LotR imagery, so I think that gives something of a bias.  

[churrlo]

I agree on the bias xd And I am bookworm myself, but well with school it's been hard to find time to read sad  

[Rudhe]

yep I infinately agree. sorry I've been away I was on camp...
anyway this isn't a person but...what happened to

Moria

after the war  

[churrlo]

I don't think the Dwarves ever went back! Cause it was kinda overrun with goblins and what not, and partly destroyed due to that and the Balrog incident.  

[Rudhe]

So it just became part of the goblins territory then? I'm sure the dwarves would have tried to claim back their land, especially after the war.  

[churrlo]

I'm not sure myself. But we don't really know what happened with all the dwarves. One of their major cities was gone (Moria), and we never heard of any of the other dwarves. They might have tried to recapture it, but I'm not sure blaugh It would have been hard ^^

Looking for translation of my name, although originally it was a random generated name....I'm looking to see if it actually means something. The closest thing I've found is Amon Rudh, *supposedly bald hill........* and suffix -iel meaning maiden, common ending for female names.

Any further insight to name translations would be most helpful.  

[churrlo]

Sorry I can't help you there sad  

[Rudhe]

Lol, thats ok, I'm reading through the books to get a good translation. Hopefully over the holidays I can finish my 'research', Then I'll be able to make up a nice concise Elven name booklet....Sindarin naturally...  

[churrlo]

I don't know any Elvish! gonk  

[Rudhe]

No better time to learn! Time to get out the lotr tril again! Actually is there a 'learning elvish' thread somewhere in the guild?  

[churrlo]

Could be >< But I'm currently learning my 3rd and 4th languages, another is just overload xd  

[Rudhe]

o wow, what languages are you learning?  

[churrlo]

xd Okies so I already knew Spanish and English, and I'm in my 3rd year of French and my 1st year of Japanese blaugh (in japanese)
