The David Day encyclopedia has some really nice art. I think it's worth the money. And I admit I did buy Noel's book, too, unawares.
Actually Ru, I believe it's a she, not a he. Take a guess as to whether or not I added her to my buddy list.

BTW, I wouldn't switch anything in your mind with Wayfarer's. There's a high probablility that the information will make it's way into your mind highly corrupted or with a tag-along virus, which would spread through your own mind like a wild fire. Then you too would be as ... eh... mmmm... strange. And more than one of Wayfarer is way too much for me to handle (yeah, Wayfarer, if you're reading this I said handle... as in "I can handle you" *wink* heheheehe). |

My keyboard is fixed. I'll try to post something in a few days, but I'll be busy until then. If someone else wants to post something, that would be great.

Example: He declares that the watcher in the water before the hollin gate was called a Kraken, and that it was a maia. Obviously he's talking out of his hindquarters. The real danger is that he manages to blend his fantasies so well with the good information he has, and makes it believable.

Kinda like MERP. Except they didn't do too well on keeping Tolkien straight.

Learn quenya? I haven't actually learned it. I know quite a bit of vocabulary, but other than that I have to work to piece sentances together.

Wait...we don't know-maybe the watcher in the water is a maia and is called Kraken...there's just no proof either way.

But the Maiar were given names in Elvish. Istari, Melian, Annatar, Sauron, Olorin, Aiwendil, Curumo...

Not exactly.
More like: "Ruinel- said she (that) she would write. She spoke wrong, she didn't write and I am writing. You want to change the words of Quenya to (the) tongue of Men? I want(ed) to make the Quenya words good, are they?

When I wrote the post in Quenya, I forgot that verbs go at the end of the sentence in a question. Also, the second Quenya post of mine, translates to: "Alas. (Is) the thread dead? I have hope it is not. Alas!"
Maybe I am messing up stuff.
