Featured Article Image by John Howe Glamdring was the sword once borne by Turgon, King of Gondolin. The sword, decorated with jewels and ruelbone, had passed into legend by the time Gandalf discovered it in a Troll's cave, nearly 6,500 years later. He would use the sword during the Battle of Five Armies and the War of the Ring.

Updates 7-5-10 - Migrating to our new server could not have gone smoother. Uploads and editing have been enabled again. Hopefully you won't see errors as frequently as before and pages will load a little bit faster. 7-3-10 - Uploads have been temporarily disabled while we setup a beta site on our shiny new server in preparation for the migration. 4-22-10 - I would like to apologize profusely for the extended downtime TG experienced earlier today. Apparently we overloaded our host with too much traffic! We are working diligently to prevent this from happening again. Thank you for your patience. 9-2-09 - Well, that could have gone much smoother, but then again I guess it could have been worse. We're now on our new server. I'm working out a few minor tweaks and then we can focus on upgrading MediaWiki and finally adding some extensions. If you encounter any problems please let me know. More site news
