About Me
Tolkien's Legendarium has been dear to me for a long time now. I was introduced to Arda as a small child through Peter Jackson's film trilogy, and subsequently read The Hobbit, The Lord of the Rings and eventually The Silmarillion over the following years. When I discovered Tolkien Gateway, I was amazed that there was a "Tolkien Wikipedia"! I'm keen to continue learning the lore of the world of the legendarium and contribute as a writer/editor to this community and Wiki where I've spent countless hours as a reader. I don't claim to be a great writer, but I will do my best to work with others in creating high-quality material here! Please do let me know if I do something wrong or if there are any concerns about anything I've contributed to Tolkien Gateway. I very much want to make this site a better place for all things Tolkien!
My goals here
- Ensure all Silmarillion chapter synopses are of a high quality
- Clean up major Silmarillion-related pages that need it
Favourite Lines/Quotes
Lots! Tolkien has such a beautiful way of writing, and I think the film trilogy to a large part does him justice! Below are a few of my favourites (I'll probably add to this with time)
- "A generous deed should not be checked with cold counsel" - Faramir to Pippin
- "Then Beren and Lúthien went through the Gate, and down the labyrinthine stairs; and together wrought the greatest deed that has been dared by Elves or Men." - from the chapter Of Beren and Lúthien in The Silmarillion
- "All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us." - Gandalf to Frodo
