[princeimrahils]

Yet such is oft the course of deeds that move the wheels of the world: small hands do them because they must, while the eyes of the great are elsewhere.

“… In the last year of the Third Age ÉOMER wedded LOTHíRIEL, daughter of Imrahil. Their son Elfwine the Fair ruled after him.” - The Red Book of Westmarch on the House of Eorl

Middle-Earth Alphabet: A [1/?]: «Ainur» ½ ↳A-G

There was Eru, the One, who in Arda is called Ilúvatar; and he made first the Ainur, the Holy Ones, that were the offspring of his thought. As beings encompassing both the Valar and the Maiar, they were the first and mightiest beings created by Eru Ilúvatar in the depths of time before the beginning of the world. (x)

Have you seen Boromir the Tall by moon or by starlight?

[cedricsdiggory]

Surely you don’t disbelieve the prophecies, because you had a hand in bringing them about yourself? You don’t really suppose, do you, that all your adventures and escapes were managed by mere luck, just for your sole benefit? You are a very fine person, Mr. Baggins, and I am very fond of you; but you are only quite a little fellow in a wide world after all!

make me choose: sweetfairy1 asked: sauron in LOTR or necromancer in the hobbit?

but sauron was not of mortal flesh, and though he was robbed now of that shape in which had wrought so great an evil, so that he could never again appear fair to the eyes of men, yet his spirit arose out of the deep and passed as a shadow and a black wind over the sea, and came back to middle-earth and to mordor that was his home. there he took up again his great ring in barad-dur, and dwelt there, dark and silent, until he wrought himself a new guise, an image of malice and hatred made visible; and the eye of sauron the terrible few could endure.
