Biography

Hello! Welcome! Can I help you find something today? There are so many good stories to read:

Or perhaps you have come to share a story of your own?

"Either write something worth reading or do something worth writing." - Benjamin Franklin

Did you know that those runes you find across Middle-earth can be translated?

For example, the floor of Meduseld reads:

Hwær nucwom hors ond hererinc? Hwær cwom herehorn blawende?

Hwær cwom helm hereserce ond fæger feax

flowende? Hwær cwom hand on

hearpestrengum ond read gled

glowende? Hwær cwom wyrta ond

wæstm ond lang corn growelde?

This literal translates to:

Where now-is horse and warrior? Where is warhorn blowing?

Where is helm coat of mail and beauty locks

flowing? Where is hand on

harpstrings and red fire

glowing? Where is planting and

produce and tall corn growing?

And correctly translates to:

"Where now the horse and the rider? Where is the horn that was blowing?

Where is the helm and the hauberk, and the bright hair flowing?

Where is the hand on the harp-string, and the red fire glowing?

Where is the spring and the harvest and the tall corn growing?"

-The Two Towers, 'The Riders of Rohan'
