Oh yeah, that's loveley -- "Excuse me, sir, may I kill you?" Seriously... I for one am not interested in murder of a ruler... yet. (Just kidding)

I see what you mean. It's a neat idea to base it off of Africa; that makes it easier for people to identify.

It really is proto-Africa, I didn't make it up, it's out of the Tolkien Encylopedia, , but I can't find a decent reproduction on the net anywhere




Quoted from site:

" Note: On the Third Age map, the New Lands (which represent
North and South America) are only conjetural and are based only on
what the Americas really look like.


Additional Note: As noted above, Arda is an early form
of Earth. In the Third Age map, the New Lands are the
Americas, Middle Earth is Europe, Romen is Asia, Endor
and the Hither Lands are the Middle East, and
Harad is Africa. Additionally, Belegaer is the
Atlantic Ocean, and Enegaer is the Pacific Ocean"

Still a good way to do it. =) Is the Tolkien encyclopaedia that little book that's really fat and kind of like a glossary? I got that once...

Oh lookie! I live in Aman, how cool! =P

Well mine is a huge thing, not little, the maps in it are great though. But as for the info, you can get that on any website, so apart from the maps they're a bit obsolete. ( I ended up with 3 lol, so if any-one wants one, I'll chuck them in the post )

Feel free to chuck away.

No, I think it was just the glossary then, about 800 pages or so. But it was a nifty lil bugger... =P
