One scene in particular that sticks, after all these years, is when Starfare's Gem is stuck in the ice, and Honninscrave (spelling?) has to leave his ship and crew to die.

This one goes back to the late '70's during the hostage crisis in Iran:

Hey, Foul! (shows swear-finger of half-hand upraised)

I first read the Chronicles over 20 years ago and was an instant fan. There weren't any internet fan clubs in those days but I remember that a group of us used to discuss it at school, and i thought I knew the book back to front. I've recently started reading it again and, it's amazing, but there's...

Grimm, just wanted to say that the LOTR most definitely DOES have a correlation in this world. The ring represents temptation to do that which we know we shouldn't do, but deep down have the craving to do, and Frodo's battle to resist that temptation and finally destroy the source. Plus, I believe ...

"Moving Mars" by Greg Bear, for the second time.

Melkor did not begin evil. He was just as any other Ainur, but he performed one simple act of rebellion - sowing discord into the song The more his attempts to impose his own designs upon creation were resisted, the stronger and darker his desires to do so became. He was driven to evil by his desir...

I don't quite understand that. Morgoth/Melkor certainly didn't "just" rebel. He stole the Silmarils and caused an earth breaking battle. He cretaed Orcs in an attempt to create Elves, warped Balrogs from Maia, had "evil" dragons and spiders fighting by his side...this guy was by...

Hey, wait a stinkin' minute! I've been away for a while, so I need to ask one question: Is there really a movie in the making or is all this just fun speculation?

BTW, I think a really good location for filming the Land would be the Pacific North-West, in the United States. Anyone?

there's no doubt in my mind that the greater evil was Morgoth. All that became evil descended from him. If not for his fall from grace, none of the Maiar (Sauron, eventually Saruman, what became Balrogs) would have "switched". This doesn't necessarily mean Morgoth was the greater evil. He...

Don't mean to change the subject, but I'm just dying to point out a cool similarity in The Silmarillion. The music of Melkor, in the very beginning of Ainulindale, is described to be: "... loud, and vain, and endlessly repeated: and it had little harmony, but rather a clamorous unison as of man...

My real name is Charlie, and I am from Lancaster, NY which is a suburb about 2-1/2 leagues east of Buffalo. I am a 35 year old Scorpio, and am a Journeyman Machinist working as a CNC machinist.

Umm, if Runes is going to be released Oct 21, then why do Amazon.com, Borders.com, and the Barnes & Noble website all say the release date is Oct 14?

Stunning. Coercri, The Grieve is just like I imagined it. And Lord Shetra: Ooo La La!

I'm with Iryssa. If I may quote myself from a post I made to a Covenant thread: disclaimer: Reading the Covenant books and LOTR were major events in my life, and I mean no disrespect in this post. I am most critical to those things closest to my heart. Here and there I read about people comparing th...

Thom. He's cool.

Don't remember who's idea it was, but someone in a Covenant topic had the idea of re-telling the Thomas Covenant story from another character's point of view; specifically, Lord Foul's. I think this is what would get me into THe Wheel Of Time again. I'm very interested in Rand's character. Also, the...

A thousand thanks for the trailer. Love the music. Nice job.

(add edit: Sorry for "jumping the gun" and downloading it before permission was granted; I just let my enthusiasm get the best of me. )

Grimm.

Thanks!

Rest assured that I have nothing but the best intensions by downloading this trailer. I do not hesitate to spend money on things I want. My book and music collection is proof of that.

Grimm.

Hey gang!

Anyone know how to get hold of a copy of the trailer file from SRD's website? I would like a copy for my SRD collection.

I first read LFB when I was 15. I will turn 35 in November. Not the oldest, not the youngest, but that's 20 years of reading the Chrons. Whew!
