Who am I?
I am absolutely fascinated by languages and linguistics.
While I was first introduced to Tolkien, specifically The Hobbit and later The Lord of the Rings, at a very young age by my father, who would read it to me and my sister before bed, I only became more interested in his works at an older age. For this reason, I do not remember whether I was interested in Tolkien or linguistics first. I also have a few conlangs (with their own scripts) on wich I’m working.
My current goals, regarding Tolkien's works, are to read more of Tolkien's books and books about his works, and to learn more about Sindarin and Tengwar.
Origin of my nickname
My absurd nickname is a combination of two words. The first being General (as a noun), and the second Rizoto (the dish) written with Czech spelling.

Rhûn
I love Arda as a whole, but something about the uncharted and mysterious Rhûn and Harad draws me to them in a strange but not unwelcome way. This combined with my liking of languages is why I'm interested in Rhûnic from RoP, which appeared in it's second season. It's a pity there isn't more information about the language. I hope there will be more of it released in the next seasons of the show.
Rhûn (soundtrack) is, in my opinion, one of the best, if not THE best of compositions created for the second season, which just gives me another reason to be interested in Rhûnic and Rhûn itself. That makes me think of:
Soundtracks
The best compositions from the first season are in my opinion True Creation Requires Sacrifice, Where the Shadows Lie (featuring Fiona Apple) and Nolwa Mahtar. And finally, both the soundtrack of The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit are awesome as a whole.
