The book remains popular and is recognized as a classic in children's literature. - The Rings of Power in J. R. R. Tolkien's Middle-earth legendarium are magical rings created by Sauron or by the Elves of Eregion under Sauron's tutelage. Three were intended for the Elves, Seven for Dwarves, Nine for Men, and one, the One Ring, was created by the Dark Lord Sauron himself in Mount Doom. - In early versions of J. R. R. Tolkien's legendarium (see: "The History of Middle-earth"), Tol Eressea was an island visited by the Anglo-Saxon traveller lfwine (in earlier versions, Eriol) which provided a framework for the tales that later became "The Silmarillion". The name is Quenya for "Lonely Island". In early versions, the Cottage of Lost Play is located in Kortirion, the island's main city, and it is here that Eriol the Mariner comes. There is an early poem by Tolkien, entitled "Kortirion", several versions of which can be found in "The Book of Lost Tales", Volume I. - Quenya is a fictional language devised by J. R. R. Tolkien and used by the Elves in his legendarium. - In the works of J. R. R. Tolkien, the Noldor (also spelled Noldor, meaning "those with knowledge" in Quenya) are High Elves of the Second Clan who migrated to Valinor and lived in Eldamar. The Noldor are called "Golodhrim" or "Godhellim" in Sindarin, and "Goldui" by Teleri of Tol Eressea. The singular form of the Quenya noun is "Noldo" and the adjective is "Noldorin". They were the Second Clan of the Elves in both order and size, the other clans being the Vanyar and the Teleri. Like the Teleri, they typically had grey eyes and dark hair (except for those who had Vanyarin blood, most prominently the members of the House of Finarfin). - Finwe (Y.T. 1050Y.T. 1495; died aged c.4293), sometimes surnamed Noldoran, is a fictional character from J. R. R. Tolkien's legendarium. He was the first High King of the Elven Noldor to lead his people on the journey from Middle-earth to Valinor in the blessed realm of Aman. He was a great friend of Elu Thingol, the King of Doriath. The story of Finwe and Miriel, his first wife, has been described as an important element of Tolkien's mythology. "The Silmarillion", prepared by Christopher Tolkien from his father's unpublished writings, only briefly mentions the tale, although sources suggest that Tolkien had intended to incorporate a fuller version. - John Ronald Reuel Tolkien, (3 January 1892 2 September 1973), known by his pen name J. R. R. Tolkien, was an English writer, poet, philologist, and university professor who is best known as the author of the classic high-fantasy works "The Hobbit", "The Lord of the Rings", and "The Silmarillion". - Sauron is the title character and main antagonist of J. R. R. Tolkien's "The Lord of the Rings". In the same work, he is identified as the Necromancer, mentioned in Tolkien's earlier novel "The Hobbit". In Tolkien's "The Silmarillion" (published posthumously by Tolkien's son Christopher Tolkien), he is also described as the chief lieutenant of the first Dark Lord, Morgoth. Tolkien noted that the "angelic" powers of his constructed myth "were capable of many degrees of error and failing", but by far the worst was "the absolute Satanic rebellion and evil of Morgoth and his satellite Sauron". - The One Ring is an artefact that appears as the central plot element in J. R. R. Tolkien's "The Lord of the Rings" (195455). It is described in an earlier story, "The Hobbit" (1937), as a magic ring of invisibility. In the sequel, "The Lord of the Rings", Tolkien ascribes to the Ring a darker character, with malevolent power going far beyond conferring invisibility: it was created by Sauron the Dark Lord as part of his design to win domination over Middle-earth. "The Lord of the Rings" concerns the quest to destroy the Ring to keep Sauron from fulfilling his design. - The Silmarils (Quenya pl. Silmarilli, "radiance of pure light") are three fictional brilliant jewels composed of the unmarred light of the Two Trees in J. R. R. Tolkien's legendarium. The Silmarils were made out of the crystalline substance "silima" by Feanor, a Noldorin Elf, in Valinor during the Years of the Trees. The Silmarils play a central role in Tolkien's book "The Silmarillion", which tells of the creation of Ea (the Universe) and the beginning of Elves, Men, and Dwarves. - Celebrimbor is a fictional character In J. R. R. Tolkien's Middle-earth. His name means "silver fist" or "Hand of silver" in Sindarin ("Telperinquar" in Quenya, "Telperimpar" in Telerin). - Fictional languages are constructed languages created as part of a fictional setting, for example in books, movies and video games. Fictional languages are intended to be the languages of a fictional world and are often designed with the intent of giving more depth and an appearance of plausibility to the fictional worlds with which they are associated, and to have their characters communicate in a fashion which is both alien and dislocated. - Feanor is a fictional character from J. R. R. Tolkien's legendarium who plays an important part in "The Silmarillion". He was the eldest son of Finwe, the High King of the Noldor, and his first wife Miriel Serinde. Feanor's mother, Miriel, died shortly after giving birth, having given all her strength and essence to him. - In J. R. R. Tolkien's fictional Middle-earth, Doriath is a forest realm of the Sindar in Beleriand ruled by King Thingol and his queen Melian. It serves as a principal stage for the stories of the First Age, such as The Tale of Beren and Luthien from "The Lays of Beleriand", and parts of "The Children of Hurin" and "The Silmarillion". It is called the "Fenced Land" because of a girdle of enchantment Melian put about it, allowing none to enter the kingdom without her leave or Thingol's. - The Lord of the Rings is an epic high-fantasy novel written by English author J. R. R. Tolkien. The story began as a sequel to Tolkien's 1937 fantasy novel "The Hobbit", but eventually developed into a much larger work.
