Whatever happens, stay with me. I’ll look after you.
30 DAY LOTR CHALLENGE | Day 22 ➼ Costume appreciation [2/2] - the grubby, weather-worn hunter/traveller look
“You can’t go walking through Mordor in naught but your skin.”
Welcome back to Middle Earth.
That’s a warrior—never tell them what they can’t do; they will prove you wrong every time.
May they be blessed.

I would fear the LOTR Series will never be this good--no matter if PJ returns too it. Risking a legacy shouldn’t be in the cards.
I know what is that you want of me. But I would not bring further death to my people. I will not risk open war.
So it begins...
PHILIPPA BOYENS: I heard him sing the Scottish national anthem at Elijah’s thanksgiving party in Queenstown, and I thought wow that’s a good voice, but then when I heard him doing “Delilah,” I thought wow this guy can really sing.
BILLY BOYD: Pete asked me if I could write something. And I said, yeah, well, you know I’ll have a go. And they gave what they wanted the words to be, which is a poem from The Fellowship.
JOHN NOBLE: He came on the set that day and no one had heard it. And then he opened his mouth, and this glorious thing came out.
BILLY BOYD: And we got to record that at Abbey Road Studios in London. That was just a huge highlight, huge highlight of my career.
Go, Pip.
A last alliance of men and elves marched against the armies of Mordor, and on the slopes of Mount Doom, they fought for the freedom of Middle Earth. Victory was near. But the power of the Ring could not be undone…

They forget the dwarves were there (noted in the Unfinished Tales) under Durin III. I wish they had put them in there because remember, those that were there (except for Galadriel) all had a ring (Three Elven Kings, Seven Dwarfs..etc..). Some places, Tolkien says Durin III had all seven rings, while other places, he just loses his ring to Sauron. Gil-galad gives his ring to Elrond and Círdan escapes to Mithlond before he can be killed and gives his ring--the Narya--to Gandalf.
Middle Earth meme | [1/3] races ► Elves
↳ “ The Elves were the first of Eru’s children to awaken under a starlit sky and venture into Middle Earth. As tall as men and slender and gifted, they are described as the fairest and most skilled creatures in Arda. They were marked for an insatiable curiosity and a desire of learning and creating, and were lovers of nature, holding a great fondness for the sea and the stars, and especially the water. Elves are immortal and resistant to disease and are not subject to physical aging, although they may be killed in battle or by losing the will to live.”
