    Headcanon - The Istari in Númenor

    For elements (especially in the old mythology) like Tevildo, I imagine something like this: Ælfwine heard the stories in Eressëa, told them back in Europe, the stories got told orally for a few generations, and only eventually got eritten down. In that time, that game of Telephone contorted a...

    Headcanon - The Istari in Númenor

    The very foundation of practically all my headcanon for Tolkien is that all his writings, no matter their date or their mutual incompatibility, exist as texts in-universe. They're all "canon", just varying degrees of unreliable. Imagine it like all the different contradictory texts that...

    Headcanon - The Istari in Númenor

    I am fully aware of that. That's why it's "headcanon" and not actual canon (which is a very fluid concept in the Legendarium anyway).

    My Unified Arda Legendarium Project – Help very much desired

    For several years now I have been working on a project with the aim of combining all (or at least most) of Tolkien’s writings set in and/or pertaining to the Legendarium of Arda. Before I had acquired HoME and knew just how deep Tolkien’s revisions of the early mythology went, I had foolishly...

    An explanation, and yet another attempt at returning

    Hello again, after another lengthy absence. Months ago I ostensibly returned to the community, at that time eager to share a selection of my personal Arda Legendarium headcanon. Then I suddenly vanished once more into thin air. What happened is a pretty silly reason to disappear, but I'll...

    Are the Ruins of Gondolin underwater, or on Tol Fuin?

    When Beleriand sank, the plateau of Dorthonion/Taur-nu-Fuin became the island of Tol Fuin. The highest points of the plateau were the Crissaegrim, which surrounded Gondolin. So, after the drowning of Beleriand, do we assume the ruins of Gondolin are above sea level, below sea level, or were...

    Headcanon - The Istari in Númenor

    What we know: The Istari (presumably all five) are known to have been in Middle-Earth from (at least) T.A. 1000, though according to later writings, the Blue Wizards arrived in Middle-Earth in S.A. 1600 The Istari were chosen at the same time according to one text that details the council of...

    Headcanon - Geographical History of Arda

    Major changes to the geography of Arda, in the order that I theorise them to have happened (including my theory for how the Sea of Helcar became Mordor): Age of Creation: Ekkaia manifested; Wall of Night raised to separate Ekkaia from the Firmament and the Void (I also theorise that the Wall...

    Headcanon - The Origin of Hobbits as a Threefold Hybrid Race

    They have a whole chapter in Unfinished Tales: The Drúedain. The Drúedain are those Drû-folk among the House of Haleth that allied with the free peoples against Morgoth in the First Age, and so were counted among the Edain. The Drûgh I theorise as being the chief ancestors of Hobbits were far...

    Headcanon - Classification of "Fay" as Low-Tier Maiar

    I’ve always kind of thought of the Fay/Nymphs/Sprites of Tolkien’s early writings as a third, lesser class of Ainur below the Maiar, which I call Hólar. This is of course complete fanon. Below is a table classifying the various types of Hólar by their aspect and associated Valar. Most of the...

    Headcanon - The Origin of Hobbits as a Threefold Hybrid Race

    It is a popular, if controversial, fan-theory that Hobbits are the result of interbreeding between Men, Elves, and Dwarves. There is of course no evidence to substantiate this theory, yet it is one I quite like. Here’s my take on it. It’s my headcanon that Hobbits are the result of couplings...

    Lies. Llamas are not native to South Africa.

    Would it be cool if I posted my headcanon in the Lore Discussion section?

    I've got quite a bit of headcanon I'd like to share, and haven't really found a very receptive audience for it. Would the Lore Discussion section be an appropriate place to post it, or should fan-theories be left out of such discussions?
