Next year (07) we will see the book "Children of Hurin" released news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/5358880.stmIf the link is removed heres the short text ---------------------------------------------------- Son completes unfinished Tolkien Tolkien is considered by many to be the first fantasy author An unfinished book by JRR Tolkien has been edited into a completed work by his son for publication next year. Christopher Tolkien has spent 30 years working on The Children of Hurin, which The Lord of the Rings author started in 1918 and later abandoned. Extracts from The Children of Hurin have been published before. JRR Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings trilogy has sold more than 50 million copies and was adapted into three hugely successful films. "It has seemed to me for a long time that there was a good case for presenting my father's long version of the legend of The Children of Hurin as an independent work, between its own covers," Christopher Tolkien said in a statement. The story involves the elves and dwarves that feature in much of Tolkien's work. He died in September 1973, aged 81. --------------------------------------------------- at last a new book as close to the source as possible. Perhaps this is the one book (13 in the line of HoME) I heard rumour of a year ago.

But Manwe and his wife Bredhil have halls upon the highest mountain Taniquetil whence they can see across the world to the dark East where Morgoth and his demonic broods holds sway. Bredhil looks on the darkness and is moved, and taking all the hoarded light of Silpion she makes and strews the stars.
Congratulations and happy birthday Varda ;D

Heyas,
It is morning the fourth of Oktober 2004. I got up early as I am supposed to when another of my family are having birthday. You know, preparing breakfast, making coffee, place a flag, boil an egg or two, light a candle and then yelling HAAAAAPPY BIRTHDAY waking the neighbors but probably not the byrding ( Hobbitish )
Today it is the seventh anniversary of the Valar Guild. That is pretty much in a fast spinning world and even more in the online gaming world. From the first Diablo, I guess that game can be called the massive online gamings breakthrough to the general public until today where each and everyone launch massive online gaming with more or less luck.
Sure the guild have changed over the years, lands have been raised and lands have been drowned. People have been wandering across mountains finding new shores, some have died away while new has been born. From the craddle at Cuivienien we have spread out ever wondering what is behind the high peaks far away in the mist and many have followed the call for adventure in distant regions. That is the natural course of life. What is not so natural, for guilds and clans, is what we have been carrying with us. Most clans and guilds are born and carried by a game. We are not. We are carried by a belief and trust in companienship and friendship founded upon and described in JRR Tolkiens book The Lord of the Rings. When a game turns boring and we seek new lands and adventures those who founded their friendship upon a game most often drift apart one by one and the guild collaps. We founded the Valar Guilds community upon a deeply rooted isle of security amidst a roaring sea. A security of friendship, honesty and trust across mountains, seas and time. That`s why I could beat you all and be the first here at the board yelling HAAAPPY SEVENTH ANNIVERSARY VALAR GUILD ;D ;D

I am sure you will see us around Haleth Welcome to the Valar and may you be happy here. Perhaps your mother one day will see we are not a bunch of lunatics but simply people who like to share our interest in friendly gaming, Tolkien and world wide friendship
