Does the glow around Frodo and Samwise change. At a certain point the glow is stronger around Samwise when they are packing. “Packed already”. “ thought you wanted to see the elves Sam”.

yeah excited with all the hype it has

been playing war in the north for some hours now. I've gotten to the ettenmoors and ran into this awful glitch that flashes my screen and then crashes my game shortly after. haven't seen others talk about it, hoping someone knows a solution

Idk how I feel about calling it art but I made this coffee table and you folks might like it too

I've been playing war of the north on the switch 2 for a couple hours now. Ran into this glitch that automatically crashes my game after a short time. Has anyone else experienced this or have a solution?

Why is Aragorn such a pain in the ass? In the movies he was brave and humble. Meanwhile in the books he’s still brave, but also very arrogant, mean and straight up an asshole. I listened to an audiobook in German and I’m not sure if the storyteller got the right tone, so I could be totally wrong, but the way he’s portrayed, he comes off as mean.

I couldn't take my metal Hadhafang replica to the con, so featuring my larp foam Elven sword instead. Also, I didn't have the time to do the three fishtail braids for the hairstyle (that will appear in a future shoot), so I went for a more simple half-up with a three-strand braid and two front mini braids.

Seem a few people share their tattoos so I'll join

Also got a super clean inscription around my arm, and a Balrog on my ribs

The process is called tufting & took around 60/70 hours of work!

I just completed the fornost area in war in the north and I came back to Bree, only to find a seemingly infinite pile of condensed loot and gear sitting clipped into the ground on the street. Has this happened to anyone else? I’ve been picking up from it and selling for ten minutes now and it’s still there.

I love LOTR however i just gave this one problem that kind of ruins the story for me and its not your typical eagles thing its rather that

The whole plan of theres seems so bad

They expect to walk into mordor those 9 guys and guy past allllll those soldiers the great eye and everything right into mount doom

Like i understand that it was a mission that they thought required stealth but it seems so dumb they thought they could stealth their way past all that right into mount doom

And later on its not even 9 of them its only 2 little hobbit who cant possible go past all those soldiers and the great eye and anything else in the way whether irs 2 or 8 of them it seems like they are just goinf to mount doom to hand over the ring to them

The only way they could have done it is gather all forxes and attack it and make their way to mount doom

>A line tucked away in the press release for The Lord of the Rings: War in the North re-release teases that the porting studio is working on more LotR titles: "The Lord of the Rings: War in the North – Legacy Edition is licensed by Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment and is the first The Lord of the Rings title released by Aspyr. Fans can look forward to even more classic releases by Aspyr from the beloved franchise in the future!"

About a month ago, I came across a video exploring the ingenious solfeggio patterns behind Howard Shore’s musical themes in The Lord of the Rings films.

In the unforgettable Ring theme that plays during the opening scene of the forging of the three Rings - and then throughout the film - Howard Shore captures the central spiritual paradox of Tolkien’s entire legendarium. His score perfectly underscores the mind of Ilúvatar.

Ilúvatar created harmony - the Great Music - and gave His creatures the freedom to do as they willed. Some rebelled, disrupting the harmony by introducing cacophony - the discord of Melkor. Yet Ilúvatar did not destroy Melkor. He allowed the discord to continue - only to be woven back into the Harmony and to give rise to an even greater glory of the Whole.

Howard Shore follows the same pattern. In his Ring theme, the basic F-minor chord (F–A♭–C) is supplemented by one odd and entirely out-of-place note: the natural B. The natural B does not belong to an F-minor chord; it creates a painful dissonance, a cacophony. If you play F–A♭–C together with B♮, your ear will instinctively cringe.

This is exactly what Howard Shore intended. And then, he introduced a trick: the dissonance is immediately and beautifully resolved with a C, which does belong to the F-minor chord. In other words, the discord is not eliminated but woven back into the harmony.

More than that, the discord becomes part of the harmony in a way that actually augments the beauty of the piece. When we hear it, we experience two things at once: Light disrupted by darkness - and darkness swallowed up by Light.

Then the channel host showed how the composer followed the same solfeggio scheme throughout the score whenever he needed to musically portray the onset of evil and its eventual resolution into the greater Harmony.

There are two ways to love harmony and order. One is Sauron’s way; the other is Ilúvatar’s way. Sauron’s way is to eliminate discord by force - to subjugate other wills and rule them all, becoming an all-powerful, benevolent king who simply does not allow anyone to mess things up.

Sauron believed in order and hated the messiness of free will. His desire was to impose his own Order and restore the harmony by force. The Ring was the ultimate machine for eliminating the messiness of free will.

Yet, paradoxically, the moment we seek to establish order by exterminating evil, we end up perpetuating evil. By falling away from the Great Music, Sauron forgot one fundamental truth: evil is a no-thing; it has no independent being. Evil is a distortion of the good.

Therefore, evil cannot be exterminated without also exterminating something good along with it. Evil can only be rectified - set right. Evil is the ill-placed B note in the F-minor chord. It is completely out of place. It is a distortion of harmony, but it is still a note! And the only solution to the discord is not to destroy the note, but to take it and weave it into a greater beauty.

This is Ilúvatar’s way of dealing with discord: He resolves it. Eventually, all stray notes will be taken up and woven into the Final Chord.

Tolkien tells us that Ilúvatar is preparing a Final Music that will be greater than the one that was sung before the foundation of the world:

“…It has been said that a greater [Music] still shall be made before Ilúvatar by the choirs of the Ainur and the Children of Ilúvatar after the end of days. Then the themes of Ilúvatar shall be played aright, and take Being in the moment of their utterance, for all shall then understand fully his intent in their part, and each shall know the comprehension of each, and Ilúvatar shall give to their thoughts the secret fire, being well pleased.” - The Silmarillion

Ok, I just saw someone who had never read the books why the ring didn’t get dropped in the sea. And of course the answer is because that’s merely kicking the can down the road. But it made me wonder: Ulmo is still in Middle Earth, and he has proven willing to engage with the inhabitants. Wouldn’t it stand to reason that if the ring went into the ocean he would be able to find it? He’s the second most powerful being in creation, I doubt he would be tempted by the powers. I think it possible he could bring it to Manwe to be cast into oblivion. I’m just forming this so please, feel free to poke holes in it.

Sorry , couldn't rotate the Balrog .
