As mentioned this morning when I opened up I wrote a blog about the River-maidens (https://t.co/QV1qj709px).
I didn't add the Marsh-Hag (p.23) from Francesco Nepitello's The One Ring RPG "Lake-Town" book with art by

so “water” was a bit of a headscratcher of a theme but of course: Lake-town. A view of Lake-town rebuilt from The One Ring RPG 1e and the map from the Lake-town Guide.

Nienna, whose element was grief, was one of the most powerful Valar. Her name contained the word nië ("tear"). Her tears symbolized pity and they saved the last fruit and flower of the damaged Two Trees. She taught Olorin/Gandalf about compassion.

The element of water is something that surrounds Galadriel. It is her Nenya ring, in her mirror, in the river Celebrant that runs through Lothlórien, and even in the color of her eyes, blue as the seas Ulmo rules.

My post will be a little art-heavy as I think this "Unexpected Party" seriously deserves a very special mention.

To me it is one of the most hilarious things has ever written and I absolutely love it.

It is a feast 🍺🤣🍢🍷

Today’s theme is song, and I had to dig deep into the Mathom-house for this one.

From the TOR 1e Lake-town supplement. A friend of the game, wise in the ways of song. In 300+ images there were very few renderings of real people. This was one of the exceptions.

Once you meet a tree in Middle-earth, you can never see one in our world the same way again. You're forced to acknowledge it for what it has always been but you were too distracted to notice: just like you, magnificently alive.

- This week’s theme is Trees. I made this painting as a personal piece before I could share anything made The One Ring RPG before release. Later this one appeared in the card game Hobbit Tales.

‘Romance’ has grown out of ‘allegory,’ and its wars are still derived from the ‘inner war’ of allegory in which good is on one side and various modes of badness on the other. In real life men are on both sides.'
