Gandalf paused and set a few leaves aside....

tolkienmatters: Gandalf paused and set a few leaves aside. ‘There are several pages of the same sort, rather hastily written and much damaged, he said; `but I can make little of them in this light. Now there must be a number of leaves missing, because they begin to be numbered five, the fifth year of the colony, I suppose. Let me see! No, they are too cut and stained; I cannot read them. We might do better in the sunlight. Wait! Here is something: a large bold hand using an Elvish script.’

‘That would be Ori’s hand,’ said Gimli, looking over the wizard’s arm. `He could write well and speedily, and often used the Elvish characters.’

`I fear he had ill tidings to record in a fair hand,’ said Gandalf. ‘The first clear word is sorrow, but the rest of the line is lost, unless it ends in estre. Yes, it must be yestre followed by day being the tenth of novembre Balin lord of Moria fell in Dimrill Dale. He went alone to look in Mirror mere. an orc shot him from behind a stone. we slew the orc, hut many more … up from east up the Silverlode. The remainder of the page is so blurred that I can hardly make anything out, but I think I can read we have barred the gates, and then can hold them long if, and then perhaps horrible and suffer. Poor Balin! He seems to have kept the title that he took for less than five years. I wonder what happened afterwards; but there is no time to puzzle out the last few pages.

- Gandalf reading the fifth(?) page of the Book of Mazarbul. Tolkien recreated the pages referenced in the book by burning them with his pipe and applying paint. Note that the book was written in both Tengwar and Angerthas Erebor (Dwarven runes). Fellowship of the Ring, The Bridge of Khazad-dûm.

“82 years ago, The Hobbit was published. I read the book at 17 for the first time and it’s been my favorite for so many years. Tomorrow (Sep. 22nd) is Bilbo and Frodo Baggins’ birthday (aka the International Hobbit Day), to celebrate this special time of the year, I drew a new picture! 😘🎉 Happy Hobbit Day to everyone who loves Middle-earth!“

4, 5. Frodo Baggins & Samwise Gamgee by https://www.instagram.com/isabellelrussell/

SAM - Samwise Gamgee, Frodo’s loyal and protective best friend who was instrumental in the destruction of the ring. A slightly underrated character, as he wasnt just the “sidekick” but a hero in his own right.

FRODO - As a Kiwi living here in New Zealand, that also makes me a resident of Middle Earth. Since the Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit trilogies were both filmed here, NZ has really embraced it’s Middle Earth moniker. Being a LOTR fan myself, and on hearing that a new LOTR series will be filmed in my hometown, I’ve been inspired to start a new vector illustration series featuring key LOTR characters!
