Hey there! Or should should I say, Mae govannen, mellon nin!

Please note that while this thread is for a book by a Christian author, not all of the threads in the Fantasy Books topic are for books by Christian authors and may not be appropriate for all readers. However, honest dialogue and discussion is important. Just because there is a thread for a book doesn't mean that it's recommended or endorsed by F&F.

woah what language is that??

Woah is that Elvish?

Yes, Elvish! "Mae govannen" simply means "well met". If you remember the scene between Legolas and Haldir in FotR, I think Haldir says, "Mae govannen, Legolas Thranduilion," which just means, "Well met, Legolas son of Thranduil".

And "mellon nin" is "my friend". "Mellon" is the Sindarin word for friend (remember that from the Gates of Moria?), and "nin" is just a possessive. I hope that helps!! :D

oh okay! yeah i remember! :) (At least, i do now) btw...i get the feeling i will be spending way too much time here?

Yeah! Remember it, and you can sound cool next time you come across a Tolkien discussion! :)

LOTR IS TOTALLY AWESOMEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!

Hello my mellonsssss
😂 hopefully that’s right
I LOVE LORD OF THE RINGS
Which movie is your favorite? I personally like Return of the King best but still love them all.
I still need to read the books (I know, I know) but definitely hope to get to them soon 😀

I LOVE EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM

Return of the King is my favorite!!

The Return of the King is definitely the most epic! I think it grossed the most money and won the most Oscars, too!

By the way, would you guys choose to live in Gondor or Rohan if you were a human in Middle-earth? Or maybe even Esgaroth or Dale?

Gondor!

I honestly don't remember the differences I haven't watched it ina while and I read the book when I was 11 so I don't remember that's why I'm reading again now

I'm on the council of Elrond ಥ‿ಥ

I would go Gondor as long as Aragorn is king 😂

XD ^^

OH MY GOODNESS THERE'S A THREAD FOR THIS!?!? I totally did not squeal when I saw this lol 😂

I would live in Rohan because Gondor is too stiff looking. I don't really like all the stone😂

Rohan! (b/c it's the city of the Horse Lords, and I love horses. Also I don't really know how any of the other kingdoms look....I just know about Rohan b/c it's in a really cool book i have with a lot of conceptual art from the movies!)

Sounds cool!
Whats the title of the book?

A Middle-Earth Traveller: Sketches from Bag End to Mordor
by John Howe.
(I love it even if it was - slightly - an impulse buy!)

Oh, I've seen that around! I know Edoras was modeled after medieval mead-halls in Tolkien's mind, if that helps at all.

Gondor because of Faramir ;)

Gondor because of Faramir ;)"

Yass!

How could I forget about him!?!

Sydney wrote: "How could I forget about him!?!"

Honestly, Sydney, you won't like what they did to them in the movies! I was so scandalized when I read the books and found that Faramir was actually super sweet and never even tempted by the Ring (the movies made him a bit of an idiot at times).

oh no! i hope i don't get mad/annoyed at him! (i do that to movie characters sometimes.)

Sydney wrote: "oh no! i hope i don't get mad/annoyed at him! (i do that to movie characters sometimes.)"

Ahh, I hope not as well!

i'll try! (whenever i get around to actually seeing the movies....)

Have any of you guys seen this? (I was reminded of it after I saw The Middle Earth Traveller)
The Maps of Tolkien's Middle-Earth by Brian Sibley & John Howe
The maps are BEAUTIFUL!

You own that, too?!

i really can't help myself!!!

Sydney wrote: "i really can't help myself!!!"

So cool that you own the CoH, B&L, and FoG set, too!

😁 do you have those ones? i still need to read B&L. FoG was actually the book i was reading outside when it started to rain! Thankfully i was able to keep it dry under my jacket!

Sydney wrote: "😁 do you have those ones? i still need to read B&L. FoG was actually the book i was reading outside when it started to rain! Thankfully i was able to keep it dry under my jacket!"

Oooh, you've read it already?!?! How did you like it?

Oh goodness. If you read it, I think you'd know what happened to Hurin, right?

I remember I enjoyed reading it, but don't really remember what happens to Hurin! :) It was a while ago...

Sydney wrote: "I remember I enjoyed reading it, but don't really remember what happens to Hurin! :) It was a while ago..."

Ohh, got it! Well, The Children of Hurin actually doesn't say. Heh. You're going to have to read The Silm after ;)

I guess that means I have to go into storage and try to find it! lol

CoH is pretty sad right? I will definitely be reading it sometime this year and I'm all up for tragic literature🙌🏻😂

Ya'll, I have a question. Am I the only one who did not like Haldir in the movies? I loved him in the books a lot, but in the movies he just looks so . . . idk . . . stuck up, I guess. He just looked so snobbish! :( Please tell me I'm not the only one who thinks so XD

Oh no! He looks snobbish! I love him!! (actually I love any Elf XD) First Faramir, then Haldir, (gulp) who's next?
