Tolkien quote of the day:

Then Aragorn, being now the Heir of Isildur, was taken with his mother to dwell in the house of Elrond; and Elrond took the place of his father and came to love him as a son of his own. But he was called Estel, that is "Hope", and his true name and lineage were kept secret at the bidding of Elrond; for the Wise then knew that the Enemy was seeking to discover the Heir of Isildur, if any remained upon earth.

bullet The Green Knight and the Master of Esgaroth by Le Rouret Last Updated: 3/21/2020
Esgaroth is far from Gondor, and its doings rarely affect Legolas, Lord of Dol Galenehtar, and Gimli, Lord of Aglarond. But there is a new Master in Lake Town, deceitful and divisive, sowing discord between the Elves and the Dwarves. Legolas and Gimli travel to northern Rhovanion to sort things out … and find themselves wrapped in a mystery darker than they had anticipated. *NOTE* My personal life has finally settled down, and the story will soon be finished, I promise.

bullet No Man's Child by anoriath Last Updated: 2/29/2020
The Rangers of the North were few in number and the Wilds over which they ranged was vast. When Aragorn commanded they turn from their other duties to protect the Shire, who must they then leave undefended? What price then did the Dúnedain of the North pay? As seen through the eyes of a woman of the Lord of the Dúnedain’s house, this is an attempt at a tale of the Northlands in the years of Aragorn’s efforts to preserve the Free Peoples of Middle Earth.
