A Journey Into Middle Earth
A Tolkien Fellowship Festival
(TRR + TSP + NPO + Forest)
Dates: Friday May 18 - Sunday May 27
Beings 10PM EST on Friday! HERE: https://discord.gg/VazC2h2
This festival honors the fellowship between three marvelously allied regions (TRR + TSP + NPO and a new friend Forest) and our shared admiration for all things Tolkien.
Join us in celebrating Tolkiens intricately detailed works, from the books (The Hobbit, The Lords of the Rings trilogy, The Silmarillion) to the movies and games inspired by his expansive imagination. Tolkien has a substantive impact on the genre of fantasy (inventing, for example, the modern conception of elves) and helped make the fantasy genre marketable and recognizable. The majority of fantasy writers following the works of Tolkien are, to this day, influenced by his vision. Tolkien did not just invent a world: he invented the maps, languages and history of a world in such a detailed, in-depth manner that it raised the fantasy genre into new heights. His devotion to his art had not been seen before, and is not so easily replicated. It is his delightful and detailed world that draws his millions of fans time and time again to journey into Middle Earth! Will you be joining us in our voyage?
This time around, we will be paying homage to the fantasy genre as a whole! Come and talk to us about your favorite fantasy books, movies, webcomics, games, television series and other mediums! From The Lord of the Rings, to The Chronicles of Narnia, to The Dark Tower, to The Eye of the World, The Magicians, Game of Thrones or many the other countless series - it's likely you'll find another NSer who loves the same fantasy worlds that invoke your fascination and those who share your fandoms! Even still, come find a new series to fall in love with alongside discussing and debating your favorite ones!
