Whats up with this pic??
Hey fellow BDers. I have a question for your LOTR infested minds. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] Are the ruins on the rock under the wizard Tolkien related? [img]smilies/eek.gif[/img] I have found that some of the ruins match Tolkiens work, but unicorns??..... [img]smilies/confused.gif[/img]

Nah. No LOTR unicorns. There are mearas, though, will that do?

The first, third, and fourth in the top row, and the second in the bottom are Tolkien Runes.
They're runes of the Angerthas None of the others seem familiar though. |

It looks like Albus Dumbledore poking unicorns at the Fireswamp just outside of Lothlorien.
Just a random thought... [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Could be Gandalf. He smoked waaay too much pipeweed, tried on a new outfit, and experimented with mearas and icicles.

But you know he's a big shot wizard because he's got MOONS and STARS on his outfit. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Hate to break it to you, Gandalf, that isn't exactly the latest style... [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img] No fashion sense at all! [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] [img]smilies/cool.gif[/img] [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img]

Well, most Angerthas runes are directly based off of Germanic runes. Sometimes you can find charts of these in dictionaries.

They've put some of the runes backwards, either to make them appear more "fantastical" (as in Sci-Fi/Fantasy), or they've jsut screwed it up. And a couple of those I've never seen before. The sixth one looks vaguely Theban (nothing like Tolkien's), and did you notice that the fifth and eighth are a star and a moon?
