Suilad, I am Amthuil. I was given the link to A-U on LOTRO one day. I had never heard of it, but was interested because supposedly there was elvish language on it, with translations. :) I've already read your basic Elvish page, love it! And yes, I play LOTRO. I am Amthuil on Landroval (I don't play any alts). I don't RP yet, but I suppose if I learn more Elvish I might want to join an Elvish kin. Right now I'm in Highguard of Numenor, a raiding kin, and I like it very much.

I've read the trilogy, loved it, and seen the movies. I read parts of The Hobbit but I'm not sure I read the whole thing. In any case, I did all that reading over 20 years ago, so it's high time I read the books again.

One of my favorite scenes in the movies is when Galadriel looks upon Boromir for the first time. If you don't remember that part, watch it. Her look is... I'm not sure what, but it is an example of superb acting by Cate Blanchett. I also love the hobbits in the movies of course, and the music when Arwen first appears, Liv Tyler was superb in the movies as well.

In the books, the two most memorable moments for me were when the hobbits first encounter an elf (Gildor I believe) and when Tom Bombadil tries on the ring and is unaffected by it.

Finally I have a place where I can talk Tolkien and all things Middle Earth! LOTRO just doesn't cut it for that, at this point anyway.

Welcome Amthuil, I'm happy that you chose to join us. There are quite a lot of things do see, do and explore on the forum so just dig in.
If you want to (re)read the Hobbit before the first movie comes out we have a reading group starting up. Take a look under the Hobbit book discussion for details. Other than that you might wanna check out the Language board, the RPG section and make sure you stop by the Green Dragon to hang out and socialise and get to know us better.

If you have any questions feel free to PM me or post in this thread. :-)

Welcome, Amthuil! I'm sure many of us feel the same way you do about A-U - it's a great place to discuss LotR. :)
