Sauron fricking shit up for everyone.
Again.
how did ppl survive when world turned from disco to globe?
The sun is literally a piece of fruit in Tolkien's world, don't take this shit seriously
does middle earth have gravity?
It has gravy-tea instead. Hobbit delicacy.
Magic
Quite a few didn't. Numenor sank, obviously, killing millions, but giant tsunamis and earthquakes also ravaged Middle-Earth, especially the coastal areas. Most Numenorean colonies got wrecked, the sea submerged something like half of Lindon (which itself was all that remained of the sunken Beleriand) forcing a ton of Elves to relocate, and conversely the sea receded so much in Gondor that Pelargir, which used to sit on the shore, ended up 100 miles inland.
>one little maiar causes this much trouble
That Melkor sure picks the worst buttholes to convert to his side
Sauron being a nuisance who always ends up being way more annoying than anyone would have thought possible is a pretty funny trope in LOTR.
I remember in some of the extended content created back in the 80s for the Middle Earth roleplaying game, after getting forced out of Dol Guldur by Gandalf's visit, he cannot return to Mordor because Gondor still guards and garrisons the place at the time, so he flees to the east and asks some Dwarves that owed him a major favor to please let him shelter in their city for a while.
Mind you, he's super weak at the time, and has no army, or Nazgul, with him, he's literally on his own. He literally fled from Gandalf, who himself is really nothing special at the time. They begrudginly accept because favors are sacred to them or whatever and let him in. He can't attack them or try to turn the place into an Orc stronghold, because then the Dwarves would consider he broke their hospitality and would just counterattack and overwhelm him. So instead he just sits around being the ultimate unwanted guest for something like 500 years, regaining his strength and being all ominous and evil and just a massive headache overall, to the point that the Dwarves straight up abandon their upper city so they don't have to interact with him anymore than they have to.
I like to think Sauron even in a weakened state would make sure to take on as oversized a humanoid form as possible, taller than even the Numenoreans, just so he towers over the dwarves to a comical degree and they're constantly craning their necks upward just to look at him.
Curious to see how this is going to be depicted in ROP. I know the writing and some of acting have been rather mediocre, but visually it's been top-notch.

Take this shit to /tg/ where it belongs, gay.
Cry more homosexual
jamie pull that up
look at that, thats crazy man, you think he was on dmt?
is numenor supposed to look like an butthole
The Gods did it.
>Gods
Opinion dropped into mount doom
nope, it was just eru. the valar had nothing to do with it
It's actually quite complicated
Basically the encircling sea is a deep dark water below arda, but above it is thin air,
so it makes up the outer shell
The point is, that Arda really was round all the time, but the landmasses were floating on the encircling sea, a half-sphere, so that it appeared that the world was flat.
When the world was "made round",
it just wrapped the landmasses around the lower half, taking the watery encircling sea with it, while the upper shell became the atmosphere
Does it mean that Arda is made of water inside, rather than having an metal core like earth?
>this is fine
>but some brown people in middle earth is far too unrealistic.
yes
Brown people do exist in middle Earth. That's what the Harad are. They just don't exist in the north western part of Middle Earth
Yes
Yes
>brown people staying in their own corner of the world and having limited interactions with white people apart from wanting to dominate them is insanity
>Middle Earth
>Not in the middle of the earth
????
The cosmology is completely fricked. If I had to say anything about it, I would say this:
The further you move away from the continent of middle earth, the less things make sense.
>called middle empire it’s own language
>is in the far east
this was retconned by tolkien in his later years, valinor isn't even real
yo are those boobs, i love those
Valinor is removed from the mortal world but it's still a physical place. So long as you're an Elf you can sail the straight sea, otherwise they're a separate (but still physical) dimension.
why can't non-elves sail it?
Also, isn't that the place where frodo and bilbo went?
It basically boils down to being chosen by Eru to be able to go there.
I don't think Sauron expected Eru to personally intervene and basically do an umae wa shinderu on Sauron and numenor.
Sauron never recovered from the b***hslapping he got by the fall of Numenor.
That's like stepping on ants. Why is god such a dick?
Eru is not a dick and he will also not turn you into dust if you enter Aman without permission.
If your intentions are pure, you may as well pass. Earendil could enter Aman no problem and tell Manwe how fricked everything is in Beleriand.
Sauron's plan was to have a big frickhueg war between Numenor and the gods so Valinor gets sunk in the ensuing war, like Beleriand did in the war of wrath.
Eru just went like: No you don't. So buried Ar-Pharazon alive, sunk Numenor with Sauron on it and told the faitful Numenorians led by Elendil, whst is going to happen.
Above all Eru believes in free will and thst everyone is in charge of his own destiny. He only intervenes if someone oversteppes his bounds or if someone truly selfless needs help.
He's basically the best DM any pen and paper group could wish for. He lets you do moronic shit but will step in if you derail the campaign to unacceptable levels.
>above all he believes in free will
>but will step in if you go out of bounds
Yes? Eru doesn't negate your will by shoving you into a volcano because you're fricking up his campaign.
And thus the only way to prove you have true free will is to go out of bounds and do something evil
>the only way to prove you have true free will is to go out of bounds and do something evil
s-so if i pirated lotr DVDs i can expect to be pushed into a volcano? heh, not like I actually did or anything.
They can, but they get killed by god before they set foot.
Numenor kinda fricked up
ARYANS ARE THE DESCENDANTS OF ATLANTEANS AND HYPERBOREANS
Thinly disguised Flerf thread
chuds are ok with this but black people in the northern hemisphere of ME is too unrealistic for them lmao
nobody wants to see black people in fantasy movies
not even a pedophile weirdo like you
It's called magic you stupid nit
magic and shit
It be God and sheeeit.
>Maiar are angels
>angels are demigods
Tolkien would rightfully disagree with both of these statements.
Man, I miss The Colbert Report. Watching John Daily's Show then this right after was so much fun back in the day.
If only Tolkien wasn't obsessing over the duplication of elves names, and the internal logic of the linguistics of it all we'd have this answered instead
why the argentinian sun?
