Many Mithril Pages @ Faerylands

don't forget to visit the categories outside the mailboard itself database and gallery mostly

well there are some in the "About Mithril & Chris Tubb" page... with pictures of Chris himself working in his workroom...
that's all I have from him

From memory, you're spot on with the Numenoreans and the 'High' elves (Eldar in particular) - although I think the Nandor (memory faint - please correct me if I'm wrong) were sorta normal-tall.  I remember comparing some of the Isildur/Anarion Mithrils and I think they were a bit taller than the average man - although I think some of the higher elves (Elrond in particular) seem to come in a little shorter than you'd expect.

You're absolutely right regarding the heights business, Dave (you can still see the dent in the taproom doorframe where a bunch of Elves in helmets came through a few years back). JRRT tells us that the Noldor were the tallest Elves, and though I can't find the actual reference anywhere I'm pretty sure that they were about seven feet. Mind you, if you rfead LOTR often enough you'll begin to notice that 'tall' is one of the Professor's favoiurite adjectives, and is applied to just about anyone important at some point in the story (Hobbits and Dwarves excepted).

Chris, on the other hand, has never seen the Elves and Numenoreans as quite so tall as perhaps JRRT intended. There used to be a chart of creature heights on the Mithril wsebsite some years ago (it may still be there, but I haven't looked), and it can also be found on page 3 of the Mithril Classics Handbook. In this the Noldor Elves stand only about 6ft 3in (sorry, my brain refuses to think in metric at this time in the morning) and the Sindar about 6ft.

Not very tall at all!
My brother is already 6ft 6in = 1,98m

That observation looks spot on, Master Barkeep.

I should go check sources for you, too.

But right now my head is mush!

Huooommmmrhuooommmmmm ..... hom! Just a moment, please, gentlemen. Just a moment.
As Master Gildor has completed his Database perfectly a short while ago ... huoomm there should be a toast for that .... rhuoommm ...
To our Wandering Elf ,named Gildor, who took upon himself that incredible task of providing what he calls a database - rhuoommm - which must be something more difficult than just piling up bar tabs, meseems ... rhuoommm ... and having done that excellently .... hom ... I mean excellent .... rhuoommhom ... knowing that it also will turn out to be some kind of endless work to be continued ... huom ... anyway ... alas, I'm not the one born to hold a speech ... rhuoomm.
But I would like you all here to raise your glasses, mugs, bottles, bowls, flagons, cups ... huomm or whatever you prefer to keep your liquids in ... and join me in saying ... huuoomm ...
THANK YOU, Master Gildor !!!! Excellent work indeed.
Rhuoommm ... a bit louder, please.

Rhuoommm.... huoommm ... thanks for the free drink, Master Barliman ... hom ... I did pay for everything I consumed around here as far as I know .... rhuoommm ... different currencies there were, of course ... hom ... rumours, coiny things, metal pieces and suchlike ... rhuom.
Please don't be that hasty in providing again mine flagons of that honey-coloured-clear-clean-appely-tasting-refreshing-water ... huoomm ... you have a much more shorter name for that which I cannot remember ... rhuoommm

The Master tree speaks from the heart!
Nothing more to say than well done Master Gildor!
Cheers and a long and fulfilling live for the keeper of wisdom and knowlage!

i am currently working on sitemaps to make robots from google and others recognize my site a bit better.

So far "many mithril pages" research on google directly points here, that's a good thing... alas, concerning "mithril figurines" research, I only am at the end of the second page

the best way to gain ranks on the search engine is to have my site mentionned on other websites (in their links sections)
so if any of you has mithril websites, or know of people who owns mithril related websites, that could help if my website was added to their link section.

Thanks in advance

The only website in the Pony is in the cellar, I'm afraid, courtesy of the spiders Nob has failed to evict.

On a more serious note, I know some of my patrons are MERP or ex-MERP enthusiasts, so it wouldn't be out of place to mention that I've just seen an obituary in Amon Hen (one of the publications of te Tolkien Society, for those of you who aren't members) for the one and only Gary Gygax, the grand old man - indeed, the creator - of Middle-earth roleplaying. He passed away a few months ago, at the age of 69. I still remember my original copy of Dungeons & Dragons turning up in the post (3 booklets in a box, all a bit amateur-looking!) back in the day. I think I still have it somewhere. I never did use it, though - I was looking for LOTR wargame rules at the time, and they didn't yet exist.

Thanks for the link Master of Photos!
I like your title and your work shows it's earned!
