to name only a few cause i would have to pick all my RPG book and as someone point out they are product in order to make money and not by Professor Tolkien

I hope it would help
If i ever come to see you just ask and i'll bring my map with me :)

[Atanatari]

That must have taken quite a while. :)

[Xivigg]

Not that bad only about 20 min maybe a little more

[Michael Martinez]

You missed a few! :D

[Xivigg]

Wich one ???

I did list all the region on my maps
of course when you take a look at the map you understand not everything can be put on it

[Michael Martinez]

I was actually just teasing, although I see a few non-canonical names in your list. You must not be using a Tolkien map.

[Morkhon]

Hey! Michael. I haven't seen you around the board for awhile, where you been?

[Michael Martinez]

I have been swamped with things to do and today I decided I'd better check in on a few forums.

[Xivigg]

The map of the Beleriand i found it in an old copy of the Silmarilion
and the map of the middle earth i buy it from a book store

some name might not be non-canonical but i do think my map are tolkien map

[Michael Martinez]

You're not a native English-language speaker, are you? I suspect that what I'm seeing as "non-canonical" names may be due to mis-spellings (Dargolad instead of Dagorlad) due to accidental typos OR the results of translation (such as "Fjord of Drengist" instead of "Firth of Drengist" -- virtually the same thing).

[Xivigg]

You're right

actually i had to translate my map (who must have been already translated before)

Sorry i do my best

[Michael Martinez]

You don't need to apologize to me for handling English better than I handle other languages. I'm just sorry I didn't realize there was a language factor involved sooner.

[Xivigg]

If i had more time i would have written wich name refer to a river :)

Ered means mountain i think

[Michael Martinez]

orod = mountain, ered = mountains
amon = hill, emyn = hills
ephel = fence but is applied figuratively to mountains (Ephel Duath, fence of shadows) and to stockades (Ephel Brandir)

For what it's worth.

[AngelLord]

Now how many times have you read this book? I've read it like 3 times.

[Michael Martinez]

If you're asking me that question, I stopped counting at around 100 and I stopped estimating at around 200 times.

Hardly a day has gone by in the last 5 years when I haven't picked up at least one Tolkien book and looked through it, usually to help answer someone's question(s).

[Xivigg]

Then your title is more than justifie

what i say is usualy what i can remember
I'm rarely totaly wrong but rarely 100% accurate :(

[Snowdog]

I have to say I didn't see Numenor in these lists :)

[markedel]

Numenor is not part of middle earth.

[Snowdog]

Lets see.... Numenor was an island in the Western Sea. They could not sail to Valinor but could and did sail to the coast. Is not Middle Earth the circles of Arda where mortals dwell? Or is it just a certain land mass that is called Middle Earth? I always considered that which is outside the undying lands Middle Earth.

[markedel]

Hmm well in the Silmarillion certainly places in Arda were considered seperate from middle earth (also read in UT) that would mply numenor was considered as seperate from middle earth as aman.
