Back to the Beginning

The World of Tolkien

The World of Middle Earth before the Hobbit and Lord of the Rings

As this is the first post for the Shadow Fey Blog, I thought it fitting to pay homage to the author who has inspired me the most. After returning to writing after a lengthy hiatus, I found myself being once again inspired by the world-building creator of Middle-Earth. His tales of the Age of trees through the second ages are literary masterpieces - combining lore, poetry, and depth. Though our writing styles vastly differ, I cannot imagine ever putting my imagination to paper if it wasn't for his influence.

Thank you, J.R.R Tolkien. You are the undisputed master of fantasy.
