THE THREE ELVEN RINGS» https://tolkiengateway.net/wiki/Three_Rings
GOOD FANTASY VS. THE SUSPENSION OF DISBELIEF
"What really happens is that the storymaker proves a successful ‘sub-creator’. He makes a Secondary World which your mind can enter. Inside it, what he relates is ‘true’: it accords with the laws of that world. You therefore believe it, while you are, as it were, inside. The moment disbelief arises, the spell is broken; the magic, or rather art, has failed." - On Fairy-stories

Is Amazon erasing Galadriel's husband???
If so, this would be a HORRIFYING move on their part, as it has major implications for legendarium in terms of Lord of the Rings and the later history of Middle-earth.
In this video, I ask: WHERE IS CELEBORN??? Join me as I explore the possibilities for his absence from The Shadow of the Past, the first episode of The Rings of Power!

TOLKIEN vs. TIME COMPRESSION "I fail to see why the time-scheme should be deliberately contracted. [. . .] I cannot see why definite time-statements, contrary to the book and to probability, should be made." - Tolkien in Letter 210

With Nargothrond and Doriath both having fallen, and the Sons of Fëanor reduced to wretchedness, only Gondolin remains of the great Elven realms. But how long will Gondolin remain hidden, and, if it is discovered, can it withstand the onslaught of Angband’s fury?
QUOTE OF THE WEEK
from The Silmarillion Chapter 20...
The field was lost; but still Húrin and Huor and the remnant of the house of Haldor stood firm with Turgon of Gondolin, and the hosts of Morgoth could not yet win the Pass of Sirion. Then Húrin spoke to Turgon, saying: ‘Go now, lord, while time is! For in you lives the last hope of the Eldar, and while Gondolin stands Morgoth shall still know fear in his heart.’
But Turgon answered: ‘Not long now can Gondolin be hidden; and being discovered it must fall.’
Then Huor spoke and said: ‘Yet if it stands but a little while, then out of your house shall come the hope of Elves and Men. This I say to you, lord, with the eyes of death: though we part here for ever, and I shall not look on your white walls again, from you and from me a new star shall arise. Farewell!’
