Hi! I'm Ancalagon. Not the [[Ancalagon|dragon]], the user. I mainly use Tolkien Gateway as an information platform, and I don't make big edits, mainly just cleanup, redirects, and grammatical edits. If you see me doing something wrong, please do not hesitate to tell me on [[User talk: Ancalagon the Black|my talk page]].
==About Me==
==About Me==
===Introduction to Me===
I was first introduced to [[J.R.R. Tolkien|Tolkien's]] [[Legendarium]] in September of 2019, when my friend invited me to come over and watch the [[The Lord of the Rings (film series)|The Lord of the Rings]]. Since then, I've done extensive research about [[Arda]], discovering [[Tolkien Gateway]] in August of 2020 and making this account in October of 2020 (October 4th, to be exact).
Hi! I'm Ancalagon the Black. Yes, I know, [[Ancalagon]] is an evil dragon, but he's the greatest of the [[Dragons|winged dragons]], and I like dragons a lot. I was first introduced to Tolkien's legendarium about a year ago (as of October 2020) when I first watched ''The Lord of the Rings'' movies. Since then, I've read ''[[The Silmarillion]]'', ''[[The Hobbit]]'', and ''[[The Fellowship of the Ring]]''. Personally, I like ''The Silmarillion'' the best.


===Favorites===
Currently, I'm reading ''[[The Lays of Beleriand]]''.
====Favorite Race====
My favorite race would definitely be the race of [[elves]]. They are mostly chill, kind beings who get along with each other (well, except in the [[First Age]]). In battle, they are fierce, loyal, and strong.


====Favorite Characters====
==Favorites==
My favorite characters are [[Finrod|Finrod Felagund]] and [[Fingolfin|High King Fingolfin]]. I think Finrod was very loyal to [[Beren]], sacrificing his own life so that his friend might live, and Fingolfin was very brave to go and face [[Morgoth]] in single combat.
* Favorite Character: '''[[Maedhros]]'''. I believe that this character is more than a murderous kinslayer, and I honestly think his story is quite a sad one. If you have a different opinion, please keep your thoughts to yourself, I don't want to get into an argument.
====Favorite City====
* Favorite Race: '''[[Elves]]'''. I especially love the [[Noldor]].
My favorite city would be [[Gondolin]], as it's such a pure city (well, mostly) and it lasted very long against Morgoth's shadow. My favorite realm, however, would be [[Lothlórien]] for its beauty.
* Favorite Location: '''[[Gondolin]]'''.
====Favorite Artifact====
* Favorite Age: '''[[First Age]]'''.
My favorite artifacts from Tolkien's legendarium would be the [[Silmarils]]. They're very pure, burning anything unholy, and I imagine they're beautiful as well, being made by the great [[Noldor]] smith [[Fëanor]].
* Favorite Book: '''[[The Silmarillion]]'''.
* Favorite Film: '''[[The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King (extended edition)|The Return of the King (extended edition)]]'''.


===Tolkien Gateway===
==My Collection==
I am relatively new to Tolkien Gateway, and I use this website mostly to learn more about J.R.R. Tolkien's legendarium. However, I do make small grammatical edits. This page that you're reading right now is the first page I've ever done, and I'm quite nervous on how this is going to turn out.
===Books===
* ''[[Beren and Lúthien]]''
* ''[[The Book of Lost Tales Part One]]''
* ''[[The Book of Lost Tales Part Two]]''
* ''[[The Lays of Beleriand]]''
* ''[[The Shaping of Middle-earth]]''
* ''[[The Lost Road and Other Writings]]''


Anyways, that's all I want to say about myself. Have a nice day!
===Films===
* ''[[The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring (extended edition)]]''
* ''[[The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers (extended edition)]]''
* ''[[The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King (extended edition)]]''
