There are a couple of dates proposed, i.e. the 21st Feb (international Native Language Day), or 10th June (JRRT composes The Book of the Foxrook, where he lists all first appearances of alphabets).

Thoughts? Comments? Prayers?

Do we think Aragorn was happier as a ranger or as king? Quite apart from marriage, purely based off vibes and lifestyle opportunities.

Yes, I know one of these isn't in the Silm; the appendices count, *shrug*

technically Andreth isn't in the Silm either but I don't think anyone will protest

What age would you like to live in?

first age (all the epic battles, a lot of elves... )

second age (Numenor, the founding of Lindon... )

third age (some peace, the fellowship of the ring... )

Voting ended onApr 8, 2024

I think I would go with beginning of the third age, when there was still some peace but also some adventures to go on.
