Middle-earth Eye Witness
- Tookish @ 19:29 PST

Hiya Tolkien chatters!

We've worked up a bit of a different topic for next weekend's Hall of Fire discussion. This one reminds me of a Stephen King story....

If you could be an observer in Middle-earth, what one event would you like to witness the most? The Death of the Witch King? The crowning of King Elessar? The Council of Elrond? The Light of the Two Trees?

Bring your vicarious personality and drop in for a fun chat based on Tolkien's Lord of the Rings. Time: Saturday, May 13, 5:30 EST. Place: The Hall of Fire.

Thanks, Tookish
