I've been visiting this site for quite some time now whenever something pops into my head about any of Tolkien's works or just to sit down and read more about the things I don't know about Middle Earth. This is by far the most extensive compilation I have ever seen of Tolkien's works online. Check it out when you get a chance....

The Encylopedia of Arda

***Sister Golden Hair*** · 01-06-2003, 08:42 PM

Yeah, the Encyclopedia of Arda has been around for a long time. It's not a bad reference center, but it doesn't seem to be updated too frequently, because it still shows some inaccurate information from the Silmarillion that was corrected in the HoMe series. For instance, the parentage of Orodreth and Gil-galad. It says that Orodreth is the son of Finarfin, and Gil-galad is the son of Fingon. All that is wrong.

I've gotta check out these HoMe series that I keep seeing, I've never heard of them, lol

Yep, they are some good but hard reading.

Yes, very hard reading. I'm fine with the Tolkien bits, but whenever that bratty kid pokes his editorial in...

The encyclopedia of arda is good for a quick reference, but I would never use the information without checking the sources first.

The link doesn't work for me

Do you know what could be wrong?

It is working now, if the link doesn't work, just type it into the space.

BeardofPants · 01-07-2003, 04:53 PM

It doesn't work for me either; hasn't done for the last week or so. However, only the main page is coming up with the error message. If I do a search in google pairing the EoA with my search criteria (eg EoA and Turin), I can then link directly to the search results page of EoA which works fine. Weird.

I think they've been having server problems since TTT came out, I've noticed it being very slow and crashing a lot as of late, that's probably why as well....
