LOREMASTERS: The palantiri

[skarlorn]

THOUGHTS:

nice 50th edition LOTR book i got one too!

Appreciate the touch on the northern kingdom of arnor, too many ignorant plebs don't realize it was actually the greater kingdom of men from westernesse. I think this would be a great loremasters episode to do b/c the swords of westernesse recovered by hobbits from the barrow-wights were like the PERFECT weapon for fighting the Witch King and so on

Nice map and tiny palantir, very cute

I'ts not Kerdan the shipwright, it's "Seerdan". I'm not 100% sure on this but I will fight you.

Dope breakdown on the timelines, I never managed to intelligently parse all dat

good APpendix promo, u gotta read those

Looks liek You ahve 1 book i do not, the nice compiled Unfinished Tales. I will be starving myself until i have acquired this tome of wisdom

Nice paintings and pictures, many of them i have not seen

I'm not sure you mentioned this, but after Aragorn wrests control of his Palantir from Sauron, he uses it to discover the army of Black Corsairs sailing from the south; this is part of why he goes and summons the army of the dead. Unlike the movies, the army of the dead is used to defeat the corsairs and then they vanish. Aragorn then picks up extra soldiers from the southern reaches of the kingdom of Gondor.

All in all really great man, thanks for sharing! Enjoyable even for a super nerd like me [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

In Quenya and Sindarin the letter "C" is always pronounced as a "K" sound, hence the letter K is not used in either of the Eldarin tongues!
