I am one of the ''Cornambardili'':<br />
<br />
''Ter Melcova hísië alca i arma'' ("Through Melkor's mists shines the sunlight")<br />
''Na yava nahámë meninyë''. ("Whose summons I go towards.")<br />
''Etengwien ilya Arcastaro parma'' ("I have read all of Tolkien's writing")<br />
''Ar naitië sinan ceninyë''. ("And now I see the truth.")<br />
''Lá sostar ni quetier lustë ve vaiwi'', ("Sayings void as winds do not frighten me,")<br />
''Hya ñolyali raicë, hya lievë yaiwi'', ("Nor do wrong teachings or folk's scorn,")<br />
''An savienyassë tarinyë ansorna'' ("For I stand very steadfast in my belief")<br />
''I Ambar yestallo né corna''. ("That Earth was round from the beginning.")<br />
<br />
The best internet article I have ever read is [[Vyacheslav Stepanov]]'s "[https://realelvish.net/2024/04/14/it-always-had-been-a-vast-globe/ “It Always Had Been a Vast Globe…”]".<br />
<br />
I have a weird fascination with Tolkien’s [[Westron]] language, [[Leaf by Niggle]], [[Dírhaval|Dírhaval’s]] writings, and [[The Notion Club Papers]].<br />
<br />
== Favorite quotes in Tolkien’s writings ==<br />
<br />
{{Quote|Now Tevildo seeing Beren narrowed his eyes until they seemed to shut, and said: “I smell dog”, and he took dislike to Beren from that moment.|[[Vëannë]] to [[Eriol]] in ''[[The Book of Lost Tales Part Two]]'', "[[The Tale of Tinúviel]]”<ref name="LT2I">{{LT2|I}}, Page 31</ref>}}<br />
<br />
This comes right after a description of Tevildo is given and it gives off the impression that he is a force to be reckoned with, yet the very first thing he says is: “''I smell dog''”.<br />
<br />
{{Quote|Indeed if fish had fish-lore and [[Wise-fish]], it is probable that the business of anglers would be very little hindered.|{{MR|P4i}}, Note 9, p. 344}}<br />

'''''The Notion Club Papers''''' is the title of an abandoned novel by [[J.R.R. Tolkien]], written during [[1945]] and published posthumously as the second part of ''[[Sauron Defeated]]'', the 9th volume of ''[[The History of Middle-earth]]''. It is a space/time/dream travel story, written at the same time as ''[[The Lord of the Rings]]'' was being developed. <br />

<br />
==Synopsis==<br />
[[File:J.R.R. Tolkien - Title-page of The Notion Club Papers.jpg|thumb|left|Title-page of ''Leaves From The Notion Club Papers Edited By Howard Green Second Edition'' by J.R.R. Tolkien]]<br />
The story itself involves the minutes of the meetings of an arts discussion club at [[Oxford]], a fictionalization of (and a pun on) Tolkien's own Club, [[Inklings|The Inklings]]. During these meetings, [[Alwin Arundel Lowdham]] discusses his [[Atlantis-haunting|lucid dreams]] about "[[Wikipedia:Atlantis|Atlantis]]"; through these dreams, he "discovers" much about the [[Númenor]] story and the languages of the [[Elder Days]] (notably [[Quenya]], [[Sindarin]], and [[Adûnaic]] &mdash; the last very interesting since it is the sole source of most of the material on this language). While not finished, at the end of the given story it becomes clear Lowdham himself is a reincarnation of sorts of [[Elendil]]. (''Alwin'' is a modernisation of the name ''[[Ælfwine]]'', Old English for Elf-friend, or ''Elendil'' in Quenya.) Other members of the Club also mention their vivid dreams of other times and places. <br />
<br />
Tolkien not only created fictional meetings for these papers; he also created a fictional history for the manuscript of the papers. According to the papers, the meetings occurred in the 1980s; they even mention events that occurred in the 1970s and 1980s. About one-fourth of the papers were found among sacks of waste paper in 2012 at Oxford by a [[Howard Green|Mr. Howard Green]]. Mr. Green published a first edition containing excerpts from these papers, indicating that they were written during the 1980s by one of the participants. Two scholars read the first edition, asked to examine the manuscripts, and then submitted a full report. The "Notes to the Second Edition" mentions the contradictory evidence in dating the manuscripts, and an alternative date is presented: they may have been written in the 1940s.<br />
<br />
==Commentary==<br />
These papers remind one of [[C.S. Lewis]]' commentary to Tolkien's poem ''[[Lay of Leithian]]'', in which Lewis created a fictional history of scholarship of the poem and even referred to other manuscript traditions to recommend changes to the poem.<br />
<br />
''The Notion Club Papers'' may be seen as an attempt to re-write ''[[The Lost Road]]'', published and discussed in ''[[The Lost Road and Other Writings]]'', as being another attempt to tie the Númenórean legend in with a more modern tale. There is, however, no direct connection between the modern settings of the two stories within the fictional frame.<br />
<br />
==Inspiration==<br />
Dr. Bruce Charlton has suggested that the supernatural character of the story shows a direct or indirect influence by [[Charles Williams]], who wrote those kind of novels: the mythical affecting modern everyday life.<ref>{{webcite|author=Bruce Charlton |articleurl=http://notionclubpapers.blogspot.com/2010/11/notion-club-papers-are-tolkiens-charles.html|articlename=The Notion Club Papers are Tolkien's Charles Williams novel|dated=5 November 2010|website=[http://notionclubpapers.blogspot.com/ The Notion Club Papers - an Inklings blog]|accessed=18 February 2021}}</ref><br />
<br />
The narration includes a mention of a "mechanical nightingale"; it has been suggested that this is a reference to [[Wikipedia:Hans Christian Andersen|Hans Christian Andersen]]'s story "[http://www.surlalunefairytales.com/nightingale/index.html The Nightingale]". Andersen was inspired to write the story after having been infatuated with the singer [[Wikipedia:Jenny Lind|Jenny Lind]] (often called "the Swedish Nightingale").<ref>{{webcite|author='Talelmarhazad' |articleurl=http://greyhavensgroup.wordpress.com/2012/05/21/tolkiens-mechanical-nightingale/|articlename=Tolkien’s Mechanical Nightingale|dated=21 May 2012|website=[http://greyhavensgroup.wordpress.com/ The Grey Havens Group]|accessed=21 May 2012}}</ref><br />
<br />
==Trivia==<br />
By an odd coincidence ''The Notion Club Papers'' mentions a great storm occurring during 1987 in England. In real life the [[Wikipedia:Great Storm of 1987|Great Storm of 1987]] occurred in October of that year.<br />

I am one of the ''Cornambardili'':<br />
<br />
''Ter Melcova hísië alca i arma'' ("Through Melkor's mists shines the sunlight")<br />
''Na yava nahámë meninyë''. ("Whose summons I go towards.")<br />
''Etengwien ilya Arcastaro parma'' ("I have read all of Tolkien's writing")<br />
''Ar naitië sinan ceninyë''. ("And now I see the truth.")<br />
''Lá sostar ni quetier lustë ve vaiwi'', ("Sayings void as winds do not frighten me,")<br />
''Hya ñolyali raicë, hya lievë yaiwi'', ("Nor do wrong teachings or folk's scorn,")<br />
''An savienyassë tarinyë ansorna'' ("For I stand very steadfast in my belief")<br />
''I Ambar yestallo né corna''. ("That Earth was round from the beginning.")<br />
<br />
The best internet article I have ever read is [[Vyacheslav Stepanov]]'s "[https://realelvish.net/2024/04/14/it-always-had-been-a-vast-globe/ “It Always Had Been a Vast Globe…”]".<br />
<br />
I have a weird fascination with Tolkien’s [[Westron]] language, [[Leaf by Niggle]], [[Dírhaval|Dírhaval’s]] writings, and [[The Notion Club Papers]].<br />
<br />
== Favorite quotes in Tolkien’s writings ==<br />
<br />
{{Quote|Now Tevildo seeing Beren narrowed his eyes until they seemed to shut, and said: “I smell dog”, and he took dislike to Beren from that moment.|[[Vëannë]] to [[Eriol]] in ''[[The Book of Lost Tales Part Two]]'', "[[The Tale of Tinúviel]]”<ref name="LT2I">{{LT2|I}}, Page 31</ref>}}<br />
<br />
This comes right after a description of Tevildo is given and it gives off the impression that he is a force to be reckoned with, yet the very first thing he says is: “''I smell dog''”.<br />
<br />
{{Quote|Indeed if fish had fish-lore and [[Wise-fish]], it is probable that the business of anglers would be very little hindered.|{{MR|P4i}}, Note 9, p. 344}}<br />

'''Dírhaval''' was a [[Men|Man]] of [[Dor-lómin]]<ref name=Index/> of the [[House of Hador]] who lived among the exiles and refugees at the [[Havens of Sirion]] during the closing century of the [[First Age]], at the time of [[Eärendil]].<br />
<br />
== History ==<br />
Dírhaval was known as a [[Minstrels|poet]], though he only produced a single poem in the [[Minlamad thent/estent]], one of the three Elvish [[Verse Modes]]. At the [[Mouths of Sirion]], he drew upon “all the tidings and lore” <ref name=WJII/> of the people of [[Dor-lómin]], [[Nargothrond]], [[Doriath]], and other lands of [[Beleriand]]. Dirhaval also learned from people such as [[Mablung]] and [[Andvír]]. He compiled and wrote it all in the ''[[Narn i Chîn Húrin (tale)|Narn i Chîn Húrin]]'' ("Tale of the Children of Húrin"), telling of the tragedy of [[Morgoth]]'s curse on [[Húrin]]'s children: [[Túrin]] and [[Nienor]]. It was written in [[Sindarin]], in which he had great skill, and it was the longest of all the lays to come out of Beleriand.<br />
<br />
Dírhaval did not write other poems or lays, as the [[Silmaril]] [[Quest for the Silmaril|captured]] by [[Beren]] and [[Lúthien]] was in the keeping of [[Elwing]]: soon the [[Sons of Fëanor]] launched an attack on the exiles in the Havens of Sirion to claim it. Dírhaval was one of those who fell in the [[Third Kinslaying]].<ref name=WJII/><ref name=UT>{{UT|2n}}, introductory note</ref><br />
<br />
==Other versions of the legendarium==<br />
In the first draft of the introductory note, Tolkien's original spelling of the name ''Dírhaval'' was '''Dírhavel'''.<ref name=WJII/><br />
<br />
Christopher Tolkien used the earlier spelling within the [[Unfinished Tales]], but notes in [[The War of the Jewels]] that the name ''Dírhavel'' should have been spelled as ''Dírhaval'' since the latter spelling was the latest variation of the name.<ref>{{WJ|II}}, Note 5</ref><br />

'''Oswin Errol''' was the father of [[Alboin Errol]] according to the early version of the [[legendarium]] in ''[[The Lost Road]]''.<ref name=P1>{{LR|P1III1}}, pp. 36-37, 39-44, 53-55, 104</ref><br />
<br />
==History==<br />
Throughout his early life, Oswin was very particular about his name, being annoyed whenever he was mistakenly called '''Oswald''', which happened often.<ref name=P1/><br />
<br />
In his later years, Oswin lived within a "little house in Cornwall" near the western sea with his son, Alboin. One evening, Oswin found his son missing close to his bed-time. Oswin called for him many times to no avail. Upon realizing that his son was not in the play-room of the house, Oswin, searched the small high garden in the back of the house. while discovered his son gazing at the sea while lying atop a low stone wall screened from the the house by a hedge.<ref name=P1/><br />
<br />
==Etymology==<br />
The name ''Oswin'' ([[Old English]]: [[Óswine (disambiguation)|Óswine]]) contains the elements ''os'' ("god") and ''wine'' ("friend").<ref>{{webcite|website=Behind the Name|articlename=Oswin|articleurl=http://www.behindthename.com/name/oswin}}</ref> Oswin's annoying name ''Oswald'' ([[Old English]]) contains the elements ''os'' ("god") and ''weald'' ("power, ruler").<ref>{{webcite|website=Behind the Name|articlename=Oswald|articleurl=http://www.behindthename.com/name/oswald}}</ref><br />

<br />
==Other versions of the legendarium==<br />
Tolkien eventually abandoned his work on ''[[The Lost Road]]'', yet Tolkien would reuse the name of "Oswin" for '''[[Oswin Lowdham]]''', the grandfather of [[Alwin Arundel Lowdham]] within "[[The Notion Club Papers]]".<br />

While many of Tolkien's works echo the conflicts of [[World War I]], ''The Fall of Gondolin'' is particularly striking in the descriptions of the Monsters<ref name=Fall/>{{rp|169}} that Melko has built in his preparation for the battle. According to [[John Garth]], the narrative of the battle "appears to echo Tolkien's creative development and slow acceptance of duty in the first year of [[World War I|the war]]" whereas the latter part echoes his personal experience of battle. The Monsters<ref name=Fall/>{{rp|169}} of iron and bronze which are capable of crossing difficult terrain and which contain within them companies of orcs, could resemble tanks that made their debut in the Battle of the Somme.<ref>[[John Garth]], ''[[Tolkien and the Great War]]: The Threshold of Middle-earth'', "11.

'''''The Complaint of Mîm the Dwarf''''' is a short poem and prose text that was written by [[J.R.R. Tolkien]] and edited by [[Christopher Tolkien]] about the [[Petty-dwarves|petty-dwarf]] [[Mîm]] and how he struggles with not being able to forgive. The poem contains twenty-six lines while the prose text consists of seven paragraphs.<ref name=Guide>{{CG|2II}}, p. 261 (entry "''The Complaint of Mîm the Dwarf''")</ref><br />
<br />
==Poem excerpt==<br />
<poem style="font-style:italic; margin-left:20px;"><br />
:Under a mountain in a wild land<br />
:a cave opened paved with sand.<br />
:One evening Mîm stood by its door:<br />
:his back was bent and his beard was hoar;<br />
:long ways he had wandered homeless and cold,<br />
:the little dwarf Mîm, two hundred years old.<ref>{{CP|185}}, pp. 1305-6</ref></poem><br />
<br />
==Prose synopsis==<br />
One day, Mîm stopped for an hour and beheld the works he had created. He marvelled at them, that they had grown out of him, but were of him no more. He felt a great pride in his hard work, and the fire that was once within him, and that he had poured nearly all of himself into these works. They were a part of Mîm, and without them there would be little left of him.<ref name=Tale>''[[Klett-Cotta: Das erste Jahrzehnt 1977-1987: Ein Almanach]]'', ''Mîms Klage'', pp. 302-5</ref><br />
<br />
Mîm further noticed that they were strewn all about—laying on the floor, piled in corners, or hanging on pegs—and devised a proper way to hoard them. He created a magnificent chest, filled with compartments and secret drawers, detailed with intricate [[dragons]] and ancient [[Dwarves]] with axes, and locked with a key bound by [[magic]]. With the closing of lid on the chest, which now contained his hoard of memories and bygone years, Mîm too closed his eyes and slept with his head upon it.<ref name=Tale/><br />
<br />
Unaware of how long he slept, Mîm was awakened by choking smoke, even though his forge was cold. [[Men]] had found him, and set fire to his dwelling. They carried away all his ore, gems, and his great chest. Chased out with the jeering sounds of their mocking songs, Mîm fled his home, only able to save a sack of hand-tools, and a secret [[knife]] with [[Poisoned weapons|poisoned]] [[runes]] on its blade which he since frequently sharped, spitting on the cutting edge until it shone under the cruel [[stars]]. He begrudged those that took his work, making of them [[rings]] and artless ornaments, trading them for petty kingdoms and feigned friendships, and noting that there was power in the works of old [[Dwarves]] that drives people to madness.<ref name=Tale/><br />
<br />
Mîm, now old and bitter, came to a refuge in the wild hills where he had to begin his work anew, seeking to catch an echo of his memories before they were lost forever. While his work was still good, the freshness was gone, and he could only glimpse the work he had once created, not that which he had once seen. Mîm understood that others thought of him as full of hate and malice, that he would bite and stab if approached, and for that he was shot at with arrows if he dared show his face to the [[Sun]]. He laments that if he could forgive, then perhaps he could still create shapes such as a leaf or a flower with dew, as it once shone at [[Tarn Aeluin]] in his youth, but that he cannot as embers still smouldered in his heart.<ref name=Tale/><br />
<br />
==Background==<br />
In either [[1961]] or [[1962]], [[J.R.R. Tolkien]] wrote an early version of the first and second stanzas of the poem "on the reverse sides of"<ref>{{CP|94}}, p. 674 (note "'''C'''25–28:")</ref> a draft of ''[[The Mewlips]]''.<ref name=collectedpoems>{{CP|185}}, pp. 1304-9</ref> In that version, Mîm is three-hundred years old instead of two-hundred and mentions "[[gold]] and [[garnet]]" instead of "graven [[silver]] and twisted gold".<ref name=collectedpoems/> Sometime after finishing a first draft of the poem and prose text, Tolkien decided to revise it and made comments on changes to be made.<ref name=collectedpoems/> After Tolkien's death in [[1973]], his son, [[Christopher Tolkien]], made a typescript and revised the poem and prose text to include Tolkien's intended revisions, adding the title, ''The Complaint of Mîm the Dwarf'', in his private notes.<ref name=collectedpoems/> After which, he provided it to [[Klett-Cotta]] in [[Wikipedia:Stuttgart|Stuttgart]]<ref>{{Cite web|articleurl=https://www.tolkienguide.com/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?post_id=23053#forumpost23053|articlename=Mîms Klage [The Complaint of Mîm the Dwarf]|author=[https://www.tolkienguide.com/profile/4779 Manfred]|dated=9 October, 2019|accessed=8 February, 2026|website=Guide|archiveurl=|archivename=|archivedate=}}</ref> to be translated.<ref name=collectedpoems/><br />

'''Klett-Cotta Verlag''', till [[1977]] '''Ernst Klett''', full name '''Verlagsgemeinschaft Ernst Klett-J.G. Cotta’sche Buchhandlung Nachf. GmbH''', is a German publishing company.<ref>{{Cite web|articleurl=https://www.tolkienguide.com/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?post_id=23053#forumpost23053|articlename=Mîms Klage [The Complaint of Mîm the Dwarf]|author=[https://www.tolkienguide.com/profile/4779 Manfred]|dated=9 October, 2019|accessed=8 February, 2026|website=Guide|archiveurl=|archivename=|archivedate=}}</ref><br />
<br />
The domicile of the book publisher is in [[wikipedia:Stuttgart|Stuttgart]], Germany. Klett-Cotta publishes books of diferent genres, from Fantasy, Nonfiction, History to books about Psychology, Educational science and Philosophy.<br />
<br />
During the 1960s Michael Klett (*[[1938]]), son of the former head of the publishing company Ernst Klett ([[1911]]- [[1998]]), effected, that [[J.R.R. Tolkien]]'s ''[[The Lord of the Rings]]'' was incorporated in Klett's publishing program. <br />
The book was declined by every greater German publishing house before. In [[1966]] Ernst Klett made [[Allen and Unwin|Allen & Unwin]] an official offer for the German publishing rights of ''The Lord of the Rings''. The first German ''The Lord of the Rings''-edition, translated by [[Margaret Carroux]] and [[Ebba-Margareta von Freymann]], was published [[1969]]/[[1970|70]] under the title ''Der Herr der Ringe''. <br />
With the second edition of [[1972]], Paperback and slipcase, ''Der Herr der Ringe'' became a success for Klett.<br />
<br />
The publishing company was renamed after the merger of Ernst Klett and the publisher Cotta’sche Verlagsbuchhandlung in 1977. In [[1987]], ''[[The Complaint of Mîm the Dwarf]]''<ref name=Guide>{{CG|2II}}, p. 261 (entry "''The Complaint of Mîm the Dwarf''")</ref> was translated by [[Hans J. Schütz]]<ref name=Guide/> and published in ''[[Klett-Cotta: Das erste Jahrzehnt 1977-1987: Ein Almanach]]''.<ref>''[[Klett-Cotta: Das erste Jahrzehnt 1977-1987: Ein Almanach]]'' (Herausgegeben von Thomas Weck), Stuttgart: [[Klett-Cotta]], 1987 (ISBN 3-608-95502-X), pp. 302-5</ref> Most of Tolkien's works in German were and are published first or only by Klett-Cotta.<br />

<br />
{{quote|And darkness he [Melkor] used most in his evil works upon [[Arda]], and filled it with fear for all living things.|''[[Valaquenta]]'': Of the Enemies}}<br />
<br />
The '''Darkness''',<ref>{{Cite DTP|LR 2.02.092}}</ref> or simply the '''Dark''',<ref>{{App|A1v}}, ''Paragraph 38''</ref><ref>{{Cite DTP|LR A.1.v.38}}</ref> was a major weapon that the [[Dark Lord]]s of [[Middle-earth]], [[Morgoth]] and [[Sauron]], used to instill fear in the [[Free peoples]] that stood against them. Sometimes they used Darkness as a frightening concept to coax people to rely on them for protection, while at other times the Dark Lords utilized Darkness as an actual force to literally spread over places on Earth. [[Morgoth|Melkor]] and [[Sauron]] used the concept of darkness with terrible effect in their attempts to seduce populations of [[Men]]. They utilized the mysterious nature of Darkness, and the fear that came from it, in coaxing Men to depend upon their teachings.<br />
<br />
==First Age==<br />
It was said that Men were [[Disaster|seduced]] by Melkor in the beginning of their history, and that a residual darkness lay upon the hearts of all their race, even those of the [[Edain]] who met the [[Eldar]] in the [[First Age]]. [[Tale of Adanel|An ancient tale]] that the [[Wise]] among the Edain kept told of how Melkor had achieved his mastery over their race: he came among them as a fair-seeming teacher and told them many things about the world, but increasingly he spoke about the Dark. He told the first Men that the greatest thing was "the Dark" since there were "no bounds" there and he himself "came out of the Dark". He claimed that he could protect them from being devoured by the Dark since he was allegedly the master of it.<br />
<br />
According to the tale, when the Sun's light was blotted out (apparently by a solar eclipse), Men grew fearful and bowed down to the "master" of the Dark and took Melkor as their God so that he would protect them. This act brought the punishment of [[Ilúvatar|Eru]] upon them: their lives were shortened and they would possess little Light during their time in [[Arda]]. For this reason their [[Gift of Men|mortality]] became associated with the Darkness and fear. Even so, most Men lived in great terror of the Dark and sought to appease it and serve Melkor however they could.<br />
<br />
==In [[Valinor]]==<br />
Morgoth, aided by the power of [[Ungoliant]] the Spider, also used Darkness to devastating effect in his attack on the [[Two Trees of Valinor]]. After Ungoliant drank up their light, a debilitating darkness settled around the [[Aman|Blessed Realm]] that confounded the might of even most of the [[Valar]]. Aided by this force, which was more than merely a lack of light but also "had power to pierce the eye, and to enter heart and mind, and strangle the very will", Morgoth escaped from Valinor and revenged himself upon the Valar and [[Elves]]. Only the sharp eyes of [[Manwë]] could penetrate this shroud, but it was to no avail: Morgoth used the cover of Darkness to slay [[Finwë]] and capture the [[Silmarils]] of [[Fëanor]].<ref>{{S|Darkening}}</ref><br />
<br />
==In Númenor==<br />
In the [[Second Age]], the island of [[Númenor]] was populated by the descendants of those Men who had rejected the service of the Dark and fled to [[Beleriand]], where they met the [[Eldar|High]] [[Elves]] and were rehabilitated. However, about 2,000 years after the founding of their realm, most of the Númenóreans began to turn away from the friendship of the Elves and the [[Valar]], for they became proud and discontent with their mortal lives. The Númenóreans possessed large holdings in Middle-earth, which Sauron's forces attacked, since the [[Maia]] hated their influence. Eventually, the last [[King of Númenor|King]] of Númenor, [[Ar-Pharazôn]], brought a great army against Sauron in retaliation. Sauron was forced to surrender because his servants feared the Númenóreans too much to fight them, and Ar-Pharazôn took him back to Númenor as a prisoner.<br />
<br />
Sauron did not remain a prisoner for long; by using his skill and knowledge he soon had the ears of the King and became his chief advisor. Sauron then seduced Ar-Pharazôn and most of his people by bringing them back to the worship of the Darkness. Sauron told the Númenóreans that they could gain great power, and even mastery of other worlds beyond Arda, by devoting themselves to the Ancient Darkness that lay outside the world and its Lord, Melkor. The Númenóreans built a mighty [[Temple]] for this practice, wherein they sacrificed many of the [[Faithful]] who remained in the land to Melkor the Lord of Darkness, in the hope that he would give them [[immortality]]. Yet in the end, the Númenóreans' worship of the Darkness gave them neither the power nor immortality they desired; it only brought them madness and terror.<br />
<br />
As a result of the Númenóreans' deeds, their land was destroyed near the end of the Second Age, but those of Númenórean race who survived in Middle-earth (save for the descendants of the Faithful) remained "enamoured of the Darkness and the black arts", and served Sauron after his return to [[Mordor]].<br />
<br />
==During the [[Third Age]]==<br />
"Darkness" was a term usually used symbolically for the dark power of [[Sauron]] and the regions under his sway. During the [[War of the Ring]], though, Sauron's Darkness became a dreadful reality, as it spread out of [[Mordor]] on [[10 March]] {{TA|3019}}<ref>{{App|Great}}</ref> and covered the lands of the West for many days. It caused despair among the soldiers of [[Gondor]] who were fighting Sauron's forces. Eventually, however, a wind from the South broke it apart.<ref>{{RK|V6}}</ref><br />
<br />
==Great Darkness==<br />
The '''Great Darkness''' was an uncertain term used by [[Treebeard]] the [[Ents|Ent]], apparently referring to the time of the [[First Age]] and before when [[Middle-earth]] was under the dominion of [[Morgoth|Melkor]].<ref>{{HM|Guide}}</ref> <br />
<br />
When the Great Darkness came, the [[Elves]] passed over the [[Belegaer|Great Sea]] and fled or hid. It was in the Great Darkness before the [[Sun]] and [[Moon]] that [[Morgoth|Melkor]] first created the [[Orcs]] and the [[Trolls]], so that these creatures feared sunlight and shunned it. The Darkness was not dispelled by the coming of the Sun: Morgoth held his fortress of [[Angband]] for centuries afterwards, and kept it shrouded in darkness with vapors belched forth from [[Thangorodrim]], the mountains around Angband.<br />
<br />
According to Treebeard, the Darkness had never been lifted in some hollow dales of his land, and there was still some shadow left by in the north<ref>{{TT|III4}}</ref> (perhaps referring to [[Mirkwood]]).<br />
<br />
==Night and Darkness==<br />
Ideally, Night was supposed to be a peaceful time, no more threatening than Day. The [[Valar]] had intended it as period of rest and repose, in which one could view the stars of [[Varda]]. But the association of Night with Darkness and Morgoth's power caused it to become "a time of peril unseen, of fear without form, an uneasy vigil; or a haunted dream, leading through despair to the shadow of Death". These connotations were especially strong in Middle-earth; in safer lands such as [[Aman]] the [[Children of Ilúvatar]] could still enjoy Night as originally intended.<br />
<br />
==Other Uses of the Term==<br />
Since Arda, the world, was [[Arda Marred|Marred]] by the evil of Melkor, all things living upon it have an element of corruption. This element was generally referred to as the [[Shadow]] by the [[Free peoples]], but the term "darkness" was also used. Generally, this word more specifically referred to the shroud of ignorance and misunderstanding made by the Marring of Arda that keeps the [[Children of Ilúvatar]] from perceiving truth; just as literal darkness prevents one from seeing clearly. When used this way, darkness usually stands in opposition to the [[Light of Valinor]]. For example, when [[Túrin]] spoke against the Valar during a council in [[Nargothrond]], the Elf [[Gwindor]] chastised him and said that "a darkness was on" him because he harbored such incorrect thoughts about the [[Valar|Powers]].<br />

For example, when [[Túrin]] spoke against the Valar during a council in [[Nargothrond]], the Elf [[Gwindor]] chastised him and said that "a darkness was on" him because he harbored such incorrect thoughts about the [[Valar|Powers]].<br />

{{quote|And darkness he [Melkor] used most in his evil works upon [[Arda]], and filled it with fear for all living things.|''[[Valaquenta]]'': Of the Enemies}}<br />
<br />
The '''Darkness''', or simply the '''Dark''', was a major weapon that the [[Dark Lord]]s of [[Middle-earth]], [[Morgoth]] and [[Sauron]], used to instill fear in the [[Free peoples]] that stood against them. Sometimes they used Darkness as a frightening concept to coax people to rely on them for protection, while at other times the Dark Lords utilized Darkness as an actual force to literally spread over places on Earth. [[Morgoth|Melkor]] and [[Sauron]] used the concept of darkness with terrible effect in their attempts to seduce populations of [[Men]]. They utilized the mysterious nature of Darkness, and the fear that came from it, in coaxing Men to depend upon their teachings.<br />
<br />
==First Age==<br />
It was said that Men were [[Disaster|seduced]] by Melkor in the beginning of their history, and that a residual darkness lay upon the hearts of all their race, even those of the [[Edain]] who met the [[Eldar]] in the [[First Age]]. [[Tale of Adanel|An ancient tale]] that the [[Wise]] among the Edain kept told of how Melkor had achieved his mastery over their race: he came among them as a fair-seeming teacher and told them many things about the world, but increasingly he spoke about the Dark. He told the first Men that the greatest thing was "the Dark" since there were "no bounds" there and he himself "came out of the Dark". He claimed that he could protect them from being devoured by the Dark since he was allegedly the master of it.<br />
<br />
According to the tale, when the Sun's light was blotted out (apparently by a solar eclipse), Men grew fearful and bowed down to the "master" of the Dark and took Melkor as their God so that he would protect them. This act brought the punishment of [[Ilúvatar|Eru]] upon them: their lives were shortened and they would possess little Light during their time in [[Arda]]. For this reason their [[Gift of Men|mortality]] became associated with the Darkness and fear. Even so, most Men lived in great terror of the Dark and sought to appease it and serve Melkor however they could.<br />
<br />
==In [[Valinor]]==<br />
Morgoth, aided by the power of [[Ungoliant]] the Spider, also used Darkness to devastating effect in his attack on the [[Two Trees of Valinor]]. After Ungoliant drank up their light, a debilitating darkness settled around the [[Aman|Blessed Realm]] that confounded the might of even most of the [[Valar]]. Aided by this force, which was more than merely a lack of light but also "had power to pierce the eye, and to enter heart and mind, and strangle the very will", Morgoth escaped from Valinor and revenged himself upon the Valar and [[Elves]]. Only the sharp eyes of [[Manwë]] could penetrate this shroud, but it was to no avail: Morgoth used the cover of Darkness to slay [[Finwë]] and capture the [[Silmarils]] of [[Fëanor]].<ref>{{S|Darkening}}</ref><br />
<br />
==In Númenor==<br />
In the [[Second Age]], the island of [[Númenor]] was populated by the descendants of those Men who had rejected the service of the Dark and fled to [[Beleriand]], where they met the [[Eldar|High]] [[Elves]] and were rehabilitated. However, about 2,000 years after the founding of their realm, most of the Númenóreans began to turn away from the friendship of the Elves and the [[Valar]], for they became proud and discontent with their mortal lives. The Númenóreans possessed large holdings in Middle-earth, which Sauron's forces attacked, since the [[Maia]] hated their influence. Eventually, the last [[King of Númenor|King]] of Númenor, [[Ar-Pharazôn]], brought a great army against Sauron in retaliation. Sauron was forced to surrender because his servants feared the Númenóreans too much to fight them, and Ar-Pharazôn took him back to Númenor as a prisoner.<br />
<br />
Sauron did not remain a prisoner for long; by using his skill and knowledge he soon had the ears of the King and became his chief advisor. Sauron then seduced Ar-Pharazôn and most of his people by bringing them back to the worship of the Darkness. Sauron told the Númenóreans that they could gain great power, and even mastery of other worlds beyond Arda, by devoting themselves to the Ancient Darkness that lay outside the world and its Lord, Melkor. The Númenóreans built a mighty [[Temple]] for this practice, wherein they sacrificed many of the [[Faithful]] who remained in the land to Melkor the Lord of Darkness, in the hope that he would give them [[immortality]]. Yet in the end, the Númenóreans' worship of the Darkness gave them neither the power nor immortality they desired; it only brought them madness and terror.<br />
<br />
As a result of the Númenóreans' deeds, their land was destroyed near the end of the Second Age, but those of Númenórean race who survived in Middle-earth (save for the descendants of the Faithful) remained "enamoured of the Darkness and the black arts", and served Sauron after his return to [[Mordor]].<br />
<br />
==During the [[Third Age]]==<br />
"Darkness" was a term usually used symbolically for the dark power of [[Sauron]] and the regions under his sway. During the [[War of the Ring]], though, Sauron's Darkness became a dreadful reality, as it spread out of [[Mordor]] on [[10 March]] {{TA|3019}}<ref>{{App|Great}}</ref> and covered the lands of the West for many days. It caused despair among the soldiers of [[Gondor]] who were fighting Sauron's forces. Eventually, however, a wind from the South broke it apart.<ref>{{RK|V6}}</ref><br />
<br />
==Great Darkness==<br />
The '''Great Darkness''' was an uncertain term used by [[Treebeard]] the [[Ents|Ent]], apparently referring to the time of the [[First Age]] and before when [[Middle-earth]] was under the dominion of [[Morgoth|Melkor]].<ref>{{HM|Guide}}</ref> <br />
<br />
When the Great Darkness came, the [[Elves]] passed over the [[Belegaer|Great Sea]] and fled or hid. It was in the Great Darkness before the [[Sun]] and [[Moon]] that [[Morgoth|Melkor]] first created the [[Orcs]] and the [[Trolls]], so that these creatures feared sunlight and shunned it. The Darkness was not dispelled by the coming of the Sun: Morgoth held his fortress of [[Angband]] for centuries afterwards, and kept it shrouded in darkness with vapors belched forth from [[Thangorodrim]], the mountains around Angband.<br />
<br />
According to Treebeard, the Darkness had never been lifted in some hollow dales of his land, and there was still some shadow left by in the north<ref>{{TT|III4}}</ref> (perhaps referring to [[Mirkwood]]).<br />
<br />
==Night and Darkness==<br />
Ideally, Night was supposed to be a peaceful time, no more threatening than Day. The [[Valar]] had intended it as period of rest and repose, in which one could view the stars of [[Varda]]. But the association of Night with Darkness and Morgoth's power caused it to become "a time of peril unseen, of fear without form, an uneasy vigil; or a haunted dream, leading through despair to the shadow of Death". These connotations were especially strong in Middle-earth; in safer lands such as [[Aman]] the [[Children of Ilúvatar]] could still enjoy Night as originally intended.<br />
<br />
==Other Uses of the Term==<br />
Since Arda, the world, was [[Arda Marred|Marred]] by the evil of Melkor, all things living upon it have an element of corruption. This element was generally referred to as the [[Shadow]] by the [[Free peoples]], but the term "darkness" was also used. Generally, this word more specifically referred to the shroud of ignorance and misunderstanding made by the Marring of Arda that keeps the [[Children of Ilúvatar]] from perceiving truth; just as literal darkness prevents one from seeing clearly. When used this way, darkness usually stands in opposition to the [[Light of Valinor]]. For example, when [[Túrin]] spoke against the Valar during a council in [[Nargothrond]], the Elf [[Gwindor]] chastised him and said that "a darkness was on" him because he harbored such incorrect thoughts about the [[Valar|Powers]].<br />

<!--<br />
Instructions:<br />

2. If multiple sets have the same release date; the set with a bigger set number should go above the other ones, to make sorting by date work in this case, use "data-sort-value="xxxx-xx-xx-y" | [xxx-xx-xx]", with x being the date and y being the order number.<br />
3. Use www.lego.com links (without the location/language tag, e.g. "/en-us") when a set is retired the link should be replaced with a brickset.com link (use www.bricklink.com if the brickset page lacks important information or doesn't exist).<br />
4. If the package does not contain a set number use the one from brickset.com (without "-1").<br />
5. If there are multiple Minifigures with the same name add their links in parentheses, see table for examples.<br />

[[File:Lego - The Battle of Helm's Deep (board game).png|230px|thumb|"The Battle of Helm's Deep" box]]<br />
<br />
In 2012 and 2013 two Lego board games were released as part of the ''[[Wikipedia:Lego Games|Lego Games]]'' theme. The gameplay of each Lego board game differs but they all make use of a dice, Lego bricks and ''Lego Games'' exclusive figures called Microfigures. <br />

==Sets==<br />
Sets officially available for purchase are outlined and their set numbers link to [https://www.lego.com www.lego.com], retired sets link to [https://brickset.com brickset.com] or [https://www.bricklink.com/v2/main.page www.bricklink.com].<br />
<!--<br />
Instructions:<br />
1. Newest set should be at the top of the table.<br />
2. If multiple sets have the same release date; the set with a bigger set number should go above the other ones, to make sorting by date work in this case, use "data-sort-value="xxxx-xx-xx-y" | [xxx-xx-xx]", with x being the date and y being the order number.<br />
3. Use www.lego.com links (without the location/language tag, e.g. "/en-us") when a set is retired the link should be replaced with a brickset.com link (use www.bricklink.com if the brickset page lacks important information or doesn't exist).<br />

'''Klett-Cotta Verlag''', till [[1977]] '''Ernst Klett''', full name '''Verlagsgemeinschaft Ernst Klett-J.G. Cotta’sche Buchhandlung Nachf. GmbH''', is a German publishing company.<br />
<br />
The domicile of the book publisher is in [[wikipedia:Stuttgart|Stuttgart]], Germany. Klett-Cotta publishes books of diferent genres, from Fantasy, Nonfiction, History to books about Psychology, Educational science and Philosophy.<br />
<br />
During the 1960s Michael Klett (*[[1938]]), son of the former head of the publishing company Ernst Klett ([[1911]]- [[1998]]), effected, that [[J.R.R. Tolkien]]'s ''[[The Lord of the Rings]]'' was incorporated in Klett's publishing program. <br />
The book was declined by every greater German publishing house before. In [[1966]] Ernst Klett made [[Allen and Unwin|Allen & Unwin]] an official offer for the German publishing rights of ''The Lord of the Rings''. The first German ''The Lord of the Rings''-edition, translated by [[Margaret Carroux]] and [[Ebba-Margareta von Freymann]], was published [[1969]]/[[1970|70]] under the title ''Der Herr der Ringe''. <br />
With the second edition of [[1972]], Paperback and slipcase, ''Der Herr der Ringe'' became a success for Klett.<br />
<br />
The publishing company was renamed after the merger of Ernst Klett and the publisher Cotta’sche Verlagsbuchhandlung in 1977. In [[1987]], ''[[The Complaint of Mîm the Dwarf]]''<ref name=Guide>{{CG|2II}}, p. 261 (entry "''The Complaint of Mîm the Dwarf''")</ref> was translated by [[Hans J.

'''Klett-Cotta''', till [[1977]] '''Ernst Klett''', full name '''Verlagsgemeinschaft Ernst Klett-J.G. Cotta’sche Buchhandlung Nachf. GmbH''', is a German publishing company.<br />
<br />
The domicile of the book publisher is in [[wikipedia:Stuttgart|Stuttgart]], Germany. Klett-Cotta publishes books of diferent genres, from Fantasy, Nonfiction, History to books about Psychology, Educational science and Philosophy.<br />
<br />
During the 1960s Michael Klett (*[[1938]]), son of the former head of the publishing company Ernst Klett ([[1911]]- [[1998]]), effected, that [[J.R.R. Tolkien]]'s ''[[The Lord of the Rings]]'' was incorporated in Klett's publishing program. <br />
The book was declined by every greater German publishing house before. In [[1966]] Ernst Klett made [[Allen and Unwin|Allen & Unwin]] an official offer for the German publishing rights of ''The Lord of the Rings''. The first German ''The Lord of the Rings''-edition, translated by [[Margaret Carroux]] and [[Ebba-Margareta von Freymann]], was published [[1969]]/[[1970|70]] under the title ''Der Herr der Ringe''. <br />
With the second edition of [[1972]], Paperback and slipcase, ''Der Herr der Ringe'' became a success for Klett.<br />
<br />
The publishing company was renamed after the merger of Ernst Klett and the publisher Cotta’sche Verlagsbuchhandlung in 1977. In [[1987]], ''[[The Complaint of Mîm the Dwarf]]'' was translated by [[Hans J. Schütz]] and published in ''[[Klett-Cotta: Das erste Jahrzehnt 1977-1987: Ein Almanach]]''.<ref>''[[Klett-Cotta: Das erste Jahrzehnt 1977-1987: Ein Almanach]]'', ''Mîms Klage'', pp. 302-5</ref> Most of Tolkien's works in German were and are published first or only by Klett-Cotta.<br />

In 2011, a Wikia user claimed to have found a bit of evidence for a Lego ''The Lord of the Rings'' video game, when discovering key words ("LOTR Ring") within the program files of ''Lego Pirates of the Caribbean: The Video Game''. However, other Wikia users remarked that those key words might have another meaning within the files.<ref>{{webcite |author= |articleurl= http://lego.wikia.com/wiki/User_blog:Lego_lord/Guess_what_my_precious%3F|articlename= Lego lord/Guess what my precious?|dated= |website= [http://Lego.wikia.com/wiki/Lego_Wiki Lego Wiki]|accessed= 3 September 2011|archiveurl= https://web.archive.org/web/20160413191318/http://Lego.wikia.com/wiki/User_blog:Lego_lord/Guess_what_my_precious%3F|archivename= Lego lord/Guess what my precious?|archivedate=13 April 2016}}</ref><br />
<br />
==Gameplay==<br />
The game follows the traditional formula common to most Lego games by Traveller's Tales. Each level represents events from the respective chapters of the movies they portray. The world is made of both Lego objects and non-Lego objects. Lego objects are interactable, whether that involves breaking them for studs (the in-game currency), assembling them out of component Lego pieces, or manipulating them in some fashion such as pushing a crate to use as a platform. Many characters have unique abilities, such as elven characters jumping higher than the rest of the cast, or wizard characters using magical staves to attack. The player will also engage in combat with enemies. When they are hit by enemy attacks or environmental hazards such as fire, the player loses a heart. Upon losing all hearts, the player character is broken apart, reappearing a few seconds later but losing studs in the process. The game features drop-in cooperative play, which means a second player can assume control of a different character at any time to assist the first player. They may also drop out and have the computer resume control over the character.<br />
<br />
The goal of each level varies. Some levels simply require the player to get to the end. Other levels may require more complex objectives, such as a defeating a powerful boss character or enacting a major environmental change. The first playthrough of each level is always in "Story Mode", which recreates the events of the movie. Subsequent playthroughs may be done in "Free Play" mode, where any character the player has unlocked may be used to gather additional items or unlock new areas. In between levels, players explore a recreation of Middle-earth and can complete small challenges for Mithril bricks, one of the game's main collectables. Players may also fast-travel by selecting the desired location or level on the map screen of the overworld.<br />

<hr />
<div>'''References''' are the cornerstone of any serious encyclopedia, and [[Tolkien Gateway]] wishes to properly credit its statements. Much of our old content remains without [[:Category:Sourceless|sources]] or [[:Category:Articles needing citation|inline references]], and fixing this is an ongoing project. In the meantime, references are required for all new information that is added to articles. This way, [[fanon]] and overinterpretation can be properly identified and omitted, and valid statements can be properly attributed to reliable sources. <br />
<br />
==Why references are needed==<br />
<br />
All statements about Tolkien's world and its people, places, events, etc., should be referenced from Tolkien's works. Statements need references even if they seem like common knowledge or common sense. [[Misconceptions]] about Tolkien are very common, and your memory is fallible: you may think you read something in Tolkien's books, but actually picked it up somewhere else.<br />
<br />
One way to think of it is this: Tolkien Gateway isn't about what you ''know'', it's about what you can ''prove''. The way you prove your statements is by referring to one of Tolkien's works.<br />
<br />
Statements about the real world or real people also need reliable sources. If you have questions about sources, you can ask in the [[Forums:Council|Tolkien Gateway forums]] or in the [[TG:Chat|chat server]].<br />
<br />
==Referencing==<br />
===How to===<br />
Tolkien Gateway, like most [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki MediaWiki]-based encyclopedias (including [[Wikipedia:Main Page|Wikipedia]]), uses the [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Cite Cite extension]. A short how-to:<br />
<br />
With this method, sources are cited ''within'' the text. The full list of citations appear wherever you type <code><nowiki>{{references}}</nowiki></code>, which should generally be at the bottom of the page just above the categories. This only needs to appear once per page, so you don't need to add it if it's already there.<br />
<br />
Individual citations are added using the <code><nowiki><ref></nowiki></code> tag. This works the same way as in [https://www.w3schools.com/html/html_intro.asp HTML]: there's an opening tag <code><nowiki><ref></nowiki></code>, a closing tag <code><nowiki></ref></nowiki></code> (note the forward slash), and the content of the citation in between.<br />
<br />
<pre><nowiki>This is the text you type.<ref>And this is the source</ref></nowiki></pre><br />
<br />
The text in between the <code><nowiki><ref></nowiki></code> tags appears in the References section as a footnote.<br />
<br />
===Shortcuts===<br />
:''See also [[:Category:Citation templates]]''<br />
The most common sources have [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Templates templates] that can be used to write out references automatically. Generally, the format to use them is:<br />
<pre><ref>{{T|chapter#}}</ref></pre><br />
But there will sometimes be additional options for sources with more complex structures. For detailed instructions on how to use an individual template, click on that template's link below.<br />
<br />

Note that when you reuse a named reference, you don't need to write out the <code><nowiki></ref></nowiki></code> closing tag. However, you still need to close the tag with a slash at the end. For example, if you have a reference named One:<br /><br />
<code>Hobbits have hairy feet.&lt;ref name=One&gt;</code> will not work. Instead, write:<br /> <code>Hobbits have hairy feet.&lt;ref name=One /&gt;</code><br />
<br />
===Internet sources===<br />
The [[:Template:cite web|<nowiki>{{cite web}}</nowiki>]] or [[:Template:Webcite|<nowiki>{{webcite}}</nowiki>]] templates can be used to cite web sources. See the template page for instructions on how to use it.<br />
<br />
===Page numbers===<br />
The purpose of a citation is to direct a reader to the source of a statement made in an article. Tolkien Gateway encourages editors to make the most precise citations possible, but we recognize that there are many editions of Tolkien's works available throughout the world. Many editors and readers do not have access to any given edition of a work. <br />
<br />
For editors who do not have access to the specific editions listed below, Tolkien Gateway accepts citations to the most specific available subdivision within the text, be it chapter or other type of heading. For the most part, the shortcut templates linked to above represent the minimum necessary precision for a good citation (e.g. "<nowiki>{{App|A1iii}}</nowiki>").<br />
<br />
We encourage editors who have access to the following editions of the following works to include page numbers in their citations:<br />
* ''[[The Lord of the Rings]]'' - Include page numbers in citations from [[The Lord of the Rings (50th Anniversary Edition)|50th Anniversary Edition]] (which is the edition favoured for citations in scholarly works).<br />
* ''[[Unfinished Tales]]'' - Include page numbers in citations from [[Unfinished Tales/Publication history and gallery|editions published]] by George Allen & Unwin, Unwin Paperbacks or Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, that follow the same pagination as the first edition (472 pages). Editions published after 1992 do not usually follow this pagination.<br />
* ''[[The History of Middle-earth]]'' series - Include page numbers in citations from editions published by HarperCollins or Houghton Mifflin Harcourt (all of which have the same pagination).<br />
* ''[[The Children of Húrin]]'' - Include page numbers in citations from editions published by HarperCollins or Houghton Mifflin Harcourt.<br />
* ''[[Beren and Lúthien]]'' - Include page numbers in citations from editions published by HarperCollins or Houghton Mifflin Harcourt.<br />
<br />
The following works should not have page numbers included in citations because Tolkien Gateway does not endorse any specific edition due to the many editions:<br />
* ''[[The Hobbit]]'' - Do not include page numbers in citations.<br />
* ''[[The Silmarillion]]'' - Do not include page numbers in citations.<br />
<br />
===Standards===<br />
The following standards should be applied when writing references using <code><nowiki><ref>...</ref></nowiki></code>:<br />
<br />
*Avoid adding a period/full stop at the end of the tag line ''(Example: ''<code><nowiki><ref>{{HM|RC}}, p. 20</ref></nowiki></code>'')''<br />
*Place the tag line ''after'' the [[Wikipedia:Punctuation|punctuation mark]]. However, an exception could be if you want to give a reference for a certain linguistic form of a word (or something similar).<br />
*Use "p." instead of "page" and "pp." instead of "pages" ''(Example: "pp. 20-2")''<br />
*Leave a space between "p." (or "pp.") and the page number ''(Example: "p. 20")''<br />
<br />
===Usage examples===<br />
<br />
The following example uses [[Template:FR]] to cite ''[[The Fellowship of the Ring]]'', Book 1, Chapter 1:<br />
<br />
<pre><nowiki>Bilbo Baggins celebrated his eleventy-first birthday with a party of special magnificence.<ref>{{FR|Party}}</ref></nowiki></pre><br />
<br />
That will come out looking like this:<br />
<br />
:Bilbo Baggins celebrated his eleventy-first birthday with a party of special magnificence.<ref>{{FR|Party}}</ref><br />
<br />
The following example has three citations and demonstrates reused (named) references as well as page numbers.<br />
<br />
<pre><nowiki>Bilbo Baggins celebrated his eleventy-first birthday with a party of special magnificence.<ref>{{FR|Party}}, p. 21</ref> The following year, Frodo, now living alone at Bag End,<ref name=Chapter2>{{FR|Shadow}}</ref> gave a party in honor of Bilbo's 112th birthday.<ref name=Chapter2 /></nowiki></pre><br />
<br />
The result is:<br />
<br />
:Bilbo Baggins celebrated his eleventy-first birthday with a party of special magnificence.<ref>{{FR|Party}}, p. 21</ref> The following year, Frodo, now living alone at Bag End,<ref name=Chapter2>{{FR|Shadow}}</ref> gave a party in honor of Bilbo's 112th birthday.<ref name=Chapter2 /><br />
<br />
Note that the two named references share the same number, allowing the article to have a shorter list of notes at the bottom. (Also, note that in a real article you probably don't need multiple references to the same chapter in a sentence.)<br />
<br />
==Explanatory notes==<br />
An explanatory footnote (i.e., a footnote used for some reason other than purely to provide a citation, such as to provide additional information or clarification) can be added to an article by using a <nowiki><ref></nowiki> tag with the "note" parameter:<br />
<br />
<pre><nowiki>This is the text.<ref group=note>This is the explanatory footnote. See citation.</ref></nowiki></pre><br />
<br />
When placing the <nowiki>{{references}}</nowiki> template near the bottom of the article, it must include a "notes" parameter for these footnotes to appear on the page; to do so, use the code <code><nowiki>{{references|notes}}</nowiki></code> (instead of the usual <code><nowiki>{{references}}</nowiki></code>).<br />
<br />
Note that <code><nowiki><ref></nowiki></code> tags cannot be nested, meaning that you cannot include an inline citation within an explanatory footnote itself. In other words, placing <code><nowiki><ref>...</ref></nowiki></code> ''inside'' of <code><nowiki><ref group=note> ...</ref></nowiki></code> will ''not'' work. Therefore, to include a citation in an explanatory footnote, provide the citation in the text of the footnote itself (following whichever part of the footnote text that the citation supports), as indicated in the example above.<br />
<br />
==Questionable statements==<br />
Questionable statements can be challenged with the [[:Template:fact|<nowiki>{{fact}}</nowiki>]] template. [[Fanon]], conjecture, and overinterpretation that is unreferenced can be deleted on sight.<br />
<br />
Do not use this tag simply to label statements which you suspect to be false; instead use the articles talk page and ask for evidence.<br />

<hr />
<div>'''References''' are the cornerstone of any serious encyclopedia, and [[Tolkien Gateway]] wishes to properly credit its statements. Much of our old content remains without [[:Category:Sourceless|sources]] or [[:Category:Articles needing citation|inline references]], and fixing this is an ongoing project. In the meantime, references are required for all new information that is added to articles. This way, [[fanon]] and overinterpretation can be properly identified and omitted, and valid statements can be properly attributed to reliable sources. <br />
<br />
==Why references are needed==<br />
<br />
All statements about Tolkien's world and its people, places, events, etc., should be referenced from Tolkien's works. Statements need references even if they seem like common knowledge or common sense. [[Misconceptions]] about Tolkien are very common, and your memory is fallible: you may think you read something in Tolkien's books, but actually picked it up somewhere else.<br />
<br />
One way to think of it is this: Tolkien Gateway isn't about what you ''know'', it's about what you can ''prove''. The way you prove your statements is by referring to one of Tolkien's works.<br />
<br />
Statements about the real world or real people also need reliable sources. If you have questions about sources, you can ask in the [[Forums:Council|Tolkien Gateway forums]] or in the [[TG:Chat|chat server]].<br />
<br />
==Referencing==<br />
===How to===<br />
Tolkien Gateway, like most [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki MediaWiki]-based encyclopedias (including [[Wikipedia:Main Page|Wikipedia]]), uses the [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Cite Cite extension]. A short how-to:<br />
<br />
With this method, sources are cited ''within'' the text. The full list of citations appear wherever you type <code><nowiki>{{references}}</nowiki></code>, which should generally be at the bottom of the page just above the categories. This only needs to appear once per page, so you don't need to add it if it's already there.<br />
<br />
Individual citations are added using the <code><nowiki><ref></nowiki></code> tag. This works the same way as in [https://www.w3schools.com/html/html_intro.asp HTML]: there's an opening tag <code><nowiki><ref></nowiki></code>, a closing tag <code><nowiki></ref></nowiki></code> (note the forward slash), and the content of the citation in between.<br />
<br />
<pre><nowiki>This is the text you type.<ref>And this is the source</ref></nowiki></pre><br />
<br />
The text in between the <code><nowiki><ref></nowiki></code> tags appears in the References section as a footnote.<br />
<br />
===Shortcuts===<br />
:''See also [[:Category:Citation templates]]''<br />
The most common sources have [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Templates templates] that can be used to write out references automatically. Generally, the format to use them is:<br />
<pre><ref>{{T|chapter#}}</ref></pre><br />
But there will sometimes be additional options for sources with more complex structures. For detailed instructions on how to use an individual template, click on that template's link below.<br />
<br />
====Preferred template====<br />
[[:Template:Cite DTP|<nowiki>{{Cite DTP}}</nowiki>]] utilises the [https://search.digitaltolkien.com/?terms= Digital Tolkien Project] to link to citations and is the preferred template for the following works:<br />

<br />
''Note:'' [[:Template:HM|<nowiki>{{HM}}</nowiki>]] is the old 'general-purpose' template, but it has been mostly superseded by the above templates, which offer more flexibility. You may still find it useful for citing some works that do not appear in the list above.<br />
<br />
===Reusing references===<br />
<br />
References can be named for reuse: <br />
<br />
<pre><br />
<nowiki>This is the text you type.<ref name=One>And this is source number one</ref><br />
<br />
Then, you use something with another source,<ref>Like this one</ref>, before returning to the first one.<ref name=One /></nowiki><br />
</pre><br />
<br />
Note that when you reuse a named reference, you don't need to write out the <code><nowiki></ref></nowiki></code> closing tag. However, you still need to close the tag with a slash at the end. For example, if you have a reference named One:<br /><br />
<code>Hobbits have hairy feet.&lt;ref name=One&gt;</code> will not work. Instead, write:<br /> <code>Hobbits have hairy feet.&lt;ref name=One /&gt;</code><br />
<br />
===Internet sources===<br />
The [[:Template:cite web|<nowiki>{{cite web}}</nowiki>]] or [[:Template:Webcite|<nowiki>{{Webcite}}</nowiki>]] templates can be used to cite web sources. See the template page for instructions on how to use it.<br />
<br />
===Page numbers===<br />
The purpose of a citation is to direct a reader to the source of a statement made in an article. Tolkien Gateway encourages editors to make the most precise citations possible, but we recognize that there are many editions of Tolkien's works available throughout the world. Many editors and readers do not have access to any given edition of a work. <br />
<br />
For editors who do not have access to the specific editions listed below, Tolkien Gateway accepts citations to the most specific available subdivision within the text, be it chapter or other type of heading. For the most part, the shortcut templates linked to above represent the minimum necessary precision for a good citation (e.g. "<nowiki>{{App|A1iii}}</nowiki>").<br />
<br />
We encourage editors who have access to the following editions of the following works to include page numbers in their citations:<br />
* ''[[The Lord of the Rings]]'' - Include page numbers in citations from [[The Lord of the Rings (50th Anniversary Edition)|50th Anniversary Edition]] (which is the edition favoured for citations in scholarly works).<br />
* ''[[Unfinished Tales]]'' - Include page numbers in citations from [[Unfinished Tales/Publication history and gallery|editions published]] by George Allen & Unwin, Unwin Paperbacks or Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, that follow the same pagination as the first edition (472 pages). Editions published after 1992 do not usually follow this pagination.<br />
* ''[[The History of Middle-earth]]'' series - Include page numbers in citations from editions published by HarperCollins or Houghton Mifflin Harcourt (all of which have the same pagination).<br />
* ''[[The Children of Húrin]]'' - Include page numbers in citations from editions published by HarperCollins or Houghton Mifflin Harcourt.<br />
* ''[[Beren and Lúthien]]'' - Include page numbers in citations from editions published by HarperCollins or Houghton Mifflin Harcourt.<br />
<br />
The following works should not have page numbers included in citations because Tolkien Gateway does not endorse any specific edition due to the many editions:<br />
* ''[[The Hobbit]]'' - Do not include page numbers in citations.<br />
* ''[[The Silmarillion]]'' - Do not include page numbers in citations.<br />
<br />
===Standards===<br />
The following standards should be applied when writing references using <code><nowiki><ref>...</ref></nowiki></code>:<br />
<br />
*Avoid adding a period/full stop at the end of the tag line ''(Example: ''<code><nowiki><ref>{{HM|RC}}, p. 20</ref></nowiki></code>'')''<br />
*Place the tag line ''after'' the [[Wikipedia:Punctuation|punctuation mark]]. However, an exception could be if you want to give a reference for a certain linguistic form of a word (or something similar).<br />
*Use "p." instead of "page" and "pp." instead of "pages" ''(Example: "pp. 20-2")''<br />
*Leave a space between "p." (or "pp.") and the page number ''(Example: "p. 20")''<br />
<br />
===Usage examples===<br />
<br />
The following example uses [[Template:FR]] to cite ''[[The Fellowship of the Ring]]'', Book 1, Chapter 1:<br />
<br />
<pre><nowiki>Bilbo Baggins celebrated his eleventy-first birthday with a party of special magnificence.<ref>{{FR|Party}}</ref></nowiki></pre><br />
<br />
That will come out looking like this:<br />
<br />
:Bilbo Baggins celebrated his eleventy-first birthday with a party of special magnificence.<ref>{{FR|Party}}</ref><br />
<br />
The following example has three citations and demonstrates reused (named) references as well as page numbers.<br />
<br />
<pre><nowiki>Bilbo Baggins celebrated his eleventy-first birthday with a party of special magnificence.<ref>{{FR|Party}}, p. 21</ref> The following year, Frodo, now living alone at Bag End,<ref name=Chapter2>{{FR|Shadow}}</ref> gave a party in honor of Bilbo's 112th birthday.<ref name=Chapter2 /></nowiki></pre><br />
<br />
The result is:<br />
<br />
:Bilbo Baggins celebrated his eleventy-first birthday with a party of special magnificence.<ref>{{FR|Party}}, p. 21</ref> The following year, Frodo, now living alone at Bag End,<ref name=Chapter2>{{FR|Shadow}}</ref> gave a party in honor of Bilbo's 112th birthday.<ref name=Chapter2 /><br />
<br />
Note that the two named references share the same number, allowing the article to have a shorter list of notes at the bottom. (Also, note that in a real article you probably don't need multiple references to the same chapter in a sentence.)<br />
<br />
==Explanatory notes==<br />
An explanatory footnote (i.e., a footnote used for some reason other than purely to provide a citation, such as to provide additional information or clarification) can be added to an article by using a <nowiki><ref></nowiki> tag with the "note" parameter:<br />
<br />
<pre><nowiki>This is the text.<ref group=note>This is the explanatory footnote. See citation.</ref></nowiki></pre><br />
<br />
When placing the <nowiki>{{references}}</nowiki> template near the bottom of the article, it must include a "notes" parameter for these footnotes to appear on the page; to do so, use the code <code><nowiki>{{references|notes}}</nowiki></code> (instead of the usual <code><nowiki>{{references}}</nowiki></code>).<br />
<br />
Note that <code><nowiki><ref></nowiki></code> tags cannot be nested, meaning that you cannot include an inline citation within an explanatory footnote itself. In other words, placing <code><nowiki><ref>...</ref></nowiki></code> ''inside'' of <code><nowiki><ref group=note> ...</ref></nowiki></code> will ''not'' work. Therefore, to include a citation in an explanatory footnote, provide the citation in the text of the footnote itself (following whichever part of the footnote text that the citation supports), as indicated in the example above.<br />
<br />
==Questionable statements==<br />
Questionable statements can be challenged with the [[:Template:fact|<nowiki>{{fact}}</nowiki>]] template. [[Fanon]], conjecture, and overinterpretation that is unreferenced can be deleted on sight.<br />
<br />
Do not use this tag simply to label statements which you suspect to be false; instead use the articles talk page and ask for evidence.<br />
