In case you couldn’t tell, I’ve become very interested again in Tolkien and his works. I’ve already read the Silmarillion, The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings Trilogy many times, but I’ve never read his son’s collections of his father’s writings. So today I bought four books: …
Here is the second Tengwar Challenge. This is a famous quote. Mode: Original (how Tolkien would have written it)
There’s not much going on in the news. Oh yeah, except for the 24/7 coverage of the power outage in the North East. That was sarcasm, in case you couldn’t tell. I will say that I was surprised at how orderly and calm everyone seemed to be. With…
This will be the first of hopefully many Tengwar transcriptions I’ll be doing. How I’d like this to work is that I’ll transcribe a phrase or paragraph or something longer, and let others try to read it. I’ll highlight words in red that I’m not completely sure are correct. Then…

I’m sure most of you are getting sick of all the “stupid” Tengwar stuff. Sorry. I’m absolutely fascinated by it, and have been spending almost all of my free time lately learning how to read and write it. I’m thinking of posting a translation every now and then, and seeing…
I’m really interested in the Tengwar Quenya language and writing system. I’ve tried my hand at transliterating my name into Tengwar: My name translated into Quenya is Erucolindo. That written out in Tengwar looks…
Continuing on with the Goliath theme… there’s a gigantic horse in Mount Pleasant, Texas named Goliath that was recently inducted into the Guinness Book of World Records as the world’s tallest living horse. At his back, he stands 6’ 5”! That’s 5” taller…
