Loading...A wonderful jolly time, always.
I will take the ring, though I do not know the way.
We can try to talk for things outside Middle Earth?
How about some less than scholarly debate to increase engagement? I will start with some hot takes:
Orcs weren't green-skinned
Tom Bombadil is older than Treebeard
Balrogs didn't have wings
Elves didn't have pointy ears
Not sure about Orcs, where they described in the book, I'd have them as brownish-grey. For sure Tom is older than Treebeard, he's part and parcel of the formation of Arda. The wings of Balrog, I did watch something on that, it's more they were shadows than solid wings, I think the films did a decent job of portraying that.
Elves.. dunno.
I suppose we suppose that The Book is the only reliable source?
Tom Bombadil is a difficult subject. ;-) He isdescribed as the 'Eldest', but it is also written somewhere that Treebeard was walking around in Middle-Earth before anyone else...
Balrogs, hmm. Gandalfs Balrog falls down, together with Gandalf, and climbs steps, together with Gandalf. That doesn't sound as if he had wings... But at some point, he also jumps out of a high window; that would surely be a strange move, without wings?
About orcs: I also picture them as more or less grey, but I don't know why.
And about the elves: I don't think their ears are mentioned at all in the books, pointed or otherwise? It would surely be interesting to know where the idea of the pointed ears comes from. (Maybe the Vulcans have something to do with it?)
Treebeard is described as the oldest living thing, but Tom is not ‘living’ in the same sense - he is other yet part of Arda - a bridge between ‘other’ and ‘of’ - Treebeard is of the world, Tom is between other and of, not a living thing of the world but not seperate either.
He is older though.
As I said: Tom Bombadil is a difficult subject. But we agree: whoever or whatever he is, he must be older than Treebeard.
Greetings Middle Earth! I would like to inform you that I have been elected as the new Delegate of 10000 Islands. You can find out some information about me and the elections in this Dispatch:
A Shelter from the Storm!
Whether you cast your vote in my favor or not, I want to thank you for your initiative to take part in the political aspect of XKI. I'll try and do my best to deliver as much as it is expected of me.
I joined XKI back in 2019, and have been blinking in and out of activity since then. I joined TITO in 2021 because I believed that every region had the right to self-determination, safe from the hands of those ill-intentioned who wish to conquer and take them as trophies. In 2023, Chief Executive Markanite called upon my name to be included in the Hall of Heroes as the 135th Knight of TITO. In late 2025, I was elected for my first term as Senator for Blue Canaria North, and was re-elected once in 2026. As part of the Special Elections held this very month, I had cast my candidacy to eventually win uncontested. I choose to believe that I won because of the genuine will of having me in office rather than because there was no-one else to vote for.
right here that it is my intention to focus mainly on two issues that have gradually undermined our region: Inactivity and the Population Decline. Although I may have other goals in mind, these two are the principal issues that I believe we should all work together, as a region, to solve. It is not my intention to discredit the efforts of our very hard-working officials, be it serving in office or not; these problems are infinitely more structural than they are anyone's failure.I will address these affairs soon enough, and with the help of anyone who expresses their initiative. For now, anyone is welcome to suggest courses of action that we could begin to discuss.
Thank you Delegate Pantso!
Thank you Chief Executive The United Royal Islands of Euramathania!
... and a thank you to every Islander, whether in office or not!
If you're interested in reaching out to discuss matters pertaining to the World Assembly, please contact me via NS Telegram or Discord.
If you seek to establish an embassy between our regions, you are welcome to do so by following the steps, if you meet the requirements, found here.
I will also designate a Foreign Affairs Secretary to aid me in all relevant matters. This designation will be announced in a dispatch as well.
Ryfin, can we have the answers now?
Are orcs green-skinned or not? ;-)
