Elves: Encyclopedia II - Redguards - History

Redguards (in their own language 'Yokudans', taken simply from the name of their homeland) hail from the western continent of Yokuda, which sank into the sea in ancient times. This was probably the result of a tectonic shift in the form of an earthquake or a volcanic eruption, however, the Redguards seem under the impression that it was in some way their fault. Upon the sinking of their homeland, which apparently was predictable to some degree, the Yokudan fleet set sail to the east, where they shored at the continent of Ta ...

Elves: Encyclopedia II - Rings of Power - The power of the rings

The Rings of Power all had certain abilities, shared amongst them; the only different ones were the three. Below are some of the abilities they granted. Rings of Power - The Nine and the Seven. Invisibility (Ability to enter the wraith world) - According to Tolkien, all the rings made the wearer invisible. Great power already possessed by the wearer before the rings were worn could prevent such disappearance. In the case of Cirdan, Gandalf, Elrond, and Galadriel, each could wear an elven ring ...

Elves: Encyclopedia II - Shannara creatures - The Races

Shannara creatures - Men. The Men, who live in the Southland, are the primary race of the Shannara novels. Most of the other races evolved from the Men after the Great Wars. Men were some of the lucky ones and did not alter or mutate from the effects of the Great Wars, which Human started in the first place. A history of the race of Men can be found here. Shannara creatures - Dwarves. The Dwarves, who live in the Eastland, were one of the races that evolved from Men. During the ...

Elves: Encyclopedia II - Shire Calendar - Months of the year and special days

The Shire calendar's year was divided into 12 months of 30 days. Five additional days were added to create a 365-day year. The months followed the lunar cycle. The Yuledays were the days that mark the end of an old year and the beginning of a new one, so 2 Yule was the first day of the year. The Lithedays are the three days in the middle of the year, 1 Lithe, Mid-year's Day, and 2 Lithe. In leap years (every fourth year except centennial years) a day was added after Mid-year's Day called Overlithe. All these days ...

Elves: Encyclopedia II - Greyhawk - Publications

The first Greyhawk product was published in 1975 as supplement booklet to the original Dungeons & Dragons rules by Gary Gygax and Robert J. Kuntz. There is no campaign setting information in this booklet, however. It only included game rules that were used in Gygax's Greyhawk campaign. Many of these new rules became standard parts of the AD&D game, including the assassin and paladin classes, 7th, 8th, and 9th level spells, classic monsters such as the Beholde ...

Elves: Encyclopedia II - Final Fantasy video game - Differences between versions

Final Fantasy has been remade several times for several different platforms.

What follows is a brief description of certain characteristics unique to each remake. Final Fantasy video game - Family Computer version to MSX2 version.

Elves: Encyclopedia II - Quenya - Grammar

Quenya - Nouns. Nouns are declined for ten cases: the nominative, accusative, genitive, dative, instrumental, possessive, locative, allative, ablative, and a tenth "mystery" case sometimes called the "respective" or Dedative case. The nominative is used mainly to mark the subject of a verb. In spoken Quenya it also functions as the accusative (see below). It is also used with prepositions. The accusative marks the direct object of a verb. It is not used in spoken Quenya, having been replaced ...

Elves: Encyclopedia II - Sam Gamgee - Name

Tolkien took the name from a colloquial word in Birmingham for cotton wool. This was in turn derived from Gamgee Tissue, a surgical dressing invented by a 19th century Birmingham surgeon named Joseph Sampson Gamgee. Tolkien originally used it as a nickname for a man living in Lamorna Cove, England before adapting it into his stories: "There was a curious local character, an old man who used to go about swapping gossip and weather-wisdom and such like. To amuse my children I named him Gaffer Gamgee... The choice of Gamgee was primarily ...

Elves: Encyclopedia II - Ageless - Media

Perhaps the best-known examples of ageless beings are cartoon characters. Cartoons, for technical and commercial reasons, are intended to live in an eternal present, a timeless universe without any change. Archie, for example, has been the same teenager since the 1950's. See also Sliding timescale. Sometimes agelessness (as well as sexlessness) is a way to make a character less human and less definable by giving him traits that suit many ages. For example, SpongeBob SquarePants behaves like a kid with his friend Patrick, wears a private school uniform, studies boating, and has a s ...

Elves: Encyclopedia II - Akallabêth - Synopsis

Akallabêth (The Downfallen in Adûnaic; Quenya is Atalantë) is the story of the destruction of the Kingdom of Númenor, written by Elendil. At the end of the First Age (described in detail in the Quenta Silmarillion), those of Men who had been helping Elves in their fight against Melkor were given a new small continent of their own, free from the evil and sadness of Middle-earth. It was located in the middle of the Great Ocean, between the western shores of Middle-earth, and the easter ...

Elves: Encyclopedia II - Alagaësia - Who Dwells in Alagaësia?

Major races include Humans, Elves, Dwarves, Urgals, and Dragons, although Dragons are on the verge of extinction. There are also a number of creatures whose origins are hidden and are not understood, such as Shades, and the Ra'zac. Apart from the different kind of beings found in Alagaësia, there are also societies that have existed or do exist that deserve recognition such as the Varden, the Dragon Riders and the For ...

Elves: Encyclopedia II - Saruman - Politics

Saruman - Men. Tolkien writes of Saruman that "he went mostly among men". He always sought power, and in the Third Age the greatest power lay in the hands of the kingdoms of Men. No records speak of his earliest journeys into the east of Middle-earth, but when he returned, he actually became for a while a servant of Gondor, receiving the keys to Orthanc from Beren ...

Elves: Encyclopedia II - Sauron - First Age

In the earliest of days, before the Valar entered Arda, Sauron was in origin an "angelic" spirit called a Maia in Tolkien's invented mythos. He was at first one of the most powerful servants of Aulë, the Smith, one of the Valar or ruling powers of the world. However, Sauron was soon subverted by the Dark Lord Melkor (later known as Morgoth, an evil Vala), and Sauron himself turned to evil. Ever after, Sauron served Morgoth faithfully, and even in later days, after Morgoth was defeated and locked outside the confines of the world, Sauron enc ...

Elves: Encyclopedia II - The Hobbit - Synopsis

Bilbo Baggins, a hobbit, is smoking in his porchway one day when Gandalf the Wizard visits him. After a lengthy discussion, during which Bilbo uses the phrase "Good Morning" several times, in several different ways, Bilbo, finding himself flustered, invites Gandalf to tea, and goes back inside his hobbit hole with a final "Good Morning". Gandalf scratches a secret mark on Bilbo's front door, which translated means 'Burglar wants a good job, plenty of excitement and reasonable reward'. Thirteen Dwarves (Thorin Oakenshield, Óin, Gloin, Dwalin ...

Elves: Encyclopedia II - The 10th Kingdom - The Nine Kingdoms and the 10th Kingdom

The information below is taken from a now offline official website for the film which displayed details about The Nine Kindoms not shown in the movie. According to an interview done shortly after the film aired, NBC, who sponsored that website, did not consult the film's producer Simon Moore about the background information before posting it there. The 1st Kingdom The 1st Kingdom is ruled by Queen Cinderella, and is the oldest and most wealthy of the Nine Kingdoms. The citizens are snobbish and romantic, falling i ...

Elves: Encyclopedia II - Tales of Phantasia - Storyline

Tales of Phantasia begins by showing a recount of a heroic battle between four yet-unknown warriors against an evil sorceror, Dhaos, whose outcome changed the fate of the world. The warriors were victorious, and sealed Dhaos away using the power of two pendants, thus returning peace to the world. The adventure begins in the town of Totus ten years later, where a young swordsman named Cless Alvein and his best friend, archer Chester Barklight, live. The town is destroyed by a dark knight and his soldiers while Cless and Chester ...

Elves: Encyclopedia II - Sindarin - Grammar

Sindarin is mainly analytic, though traits of its highly inflected progenitor can still be seen. Sindarin - Phonology. Sindarin was designed to have a Welsh-like phonology. It has most of the same sounds and similar phonotactics. An accent signifies a long vowel (á, é, etc). In a monosyllabic word, a circumflex is used (â, ê, etc). However, for practical reasons, users of the ISO Latin-1 chara ...

Elves: Encyclopedia II - Weapons of Middle-earth - Canonical weapons

Weapons of Middle-earth - Noted weapons. Aeglos (or Aiglos) was a spear that belonged to Gil-galad. Its name means "snow-point" or "snow-thorn" (aeg: sharp, pointed; los: snow). In The Silmarillion by J. R. R. Tolkien, Anglachel (meaning Iron of the Flaming Star in Sindarin) is a sword smithed by Eöl the Dark Elf. It was one of two swords Eöl forged out of a black meteorite: the other, Anguirel, he kept for himself. Eöl gave this sword to Thingol as pay ...

Elves: Encyclopedia II - Arcanis - Races of Arcanis

Arcanis as a setting differs from other Dungeons and Dragons campaign settings, with its take on the traditional races of Dungeons and Dragons. Dark-kin are those born with demonic traits. They are usually born from human parents, and rarely sire Dark-kin children. Dwarves are still hardy craftsmen, but with a big twist. Once Giants, Dwarves were assigned the task of protecting mankind. When they begun to lord over man, the king of the gods, Illiir cursed them, making them short. They cannot die, and are cursed to try to make t ...

Elves: Encyclopedia II - Chaos Warhammer - The Gods of Chaos

Khorne is the Blood God. The fire that destroys, the Hound of War that exists for little more than endless slaughter. Every kill in war, every execution of a criminal, every senseless murder, is made in his name, whether those who commit them desire it (or even know) or not. Khorne is usually depicted as sitting on a throne of skulls of the fallen. The phrases "Blood for the Blood God" and "Skulls for the Skull Throne" are commonly used as battle cries by the followers of Khorne. Khorne represents the fear of life, wanting to destroy ...

Elves: Encyclopedia II - Crop circle - Contending beliefs

Most critical observers, and the scientific mainstream, are convinced that crop circles are sniggles or hoaxes engineered by humans. This explanation, supported by the documentation produced by some crop-circle hoaxers, has the advantage of not requiring us first to assume the existence of flying saucers or other as-yet-unobserved phenomena. However, there are many contending hypotheses which assume that at least some crop circles are not the products of mundane hoaxers; these hypotheses vary in their degree of scientific rigor, b ...

Elves: Encyclopedia II - Dark elf - Dark elves in fiction

Inspired largely by the preceding indigenous European folklore, dark elves are a common element, although usually very highly embellished with outside influences and rarely displaying many elements of the ancient folktales that inspired their inclusion, throughout fantasy fiction of many types. Due at least partly to influence from the Dungeons & Dragons role-playing game, and perhaps also to the ever-growing tendency toward synthesis of folklores, it is not uncommon for both Trowes and Drowes, along with Black-elves and Dark-elve ...
