Hi all!  
Hi all!  


My on-line name is Earendilyon, and I'm active in the virtual Tolkien community for some 5 years now (roughly since Spring 2001). I've known Tolkien's writings since the late '80s and have most of his work in my possesion, and a lot about him and/or about his work.

My on-line "home" is [http://www.minastirith.com Minas Tirith], but I also frequent other [[J.R.R. Tolkien|Tolkien]] related message boards. You may also know me from my [http://www.geocities.com/dominusanulorum/ Dominus Anulorum] project, the translation of [[The Lord of the Rings]] into Latin. My project is mirrored by the folks of [http://www.eldalie.ch/dominusanulorum/ Eldalie.ch].
