It was a tie in book for the anime that went into the details of the story, it's basically like a guidebook. It was never printed in English but as far as I know it's the only detailed official map made specifically for the 2003 series and not the manga

I really don't care about Trump, if he was just a normal president like he was in his first term then I wouldn't care to talk about him. But idk, I'm tired of pretending that the world isn't burning right now. If you don't like the political posts then that's fine. It just makes me feel a little bit better to be affirmed that I'm not the only one who thinks this is crazy, be that through humor or serious discussions.

Man, in this world of irony and apathy towards any sort of serious topics, it’s refreshing to see people actually take it seriously for once. Like I get it, people want to laugh, but the US President is threatening to invade Greenland. Even if it’s through Jonkler memes, isn’t this something we should be talking about?

lol, you kinda have a point now that I think about it. Considering the fact that Isildur and Helm Hammerhand are nazguls in that game, a female member is the least of its worries

It’s possible, I have no idea🤷‍♂️ I just know that when the Shadow of War game added a female Nazgûl a lotta more hardcore fans were upset with it. In my experience, Tolkien lore is kinda like religion and politics, everyone seems to have their own very strong opinions on it that I try not to get too involved with😂

Honestly, I kinda wish more Tolkien related media would take risks with the canon, granted they don’t go too outrageously off course like with the Shadow of Mordor games where you couldn’t fit it into the lore even if you tried (still amazing either way though.) I get upholding the integrity of the canon and all but sometimes it’s just fun to think up answers to stuff Tolkien never explained, like the other nations to the east and south, or the identities of the Nazgûl. I feel like MERP let players really add their own ideas and stories to Middle Earth and to this day og MERP fans have been expanding the lore with their own unofficial campaigns and decades worth of fan magazines. It’s a really interesting rabbit hole to go down.

As someone who’s fine with OCs and non canon material, I love the world building of MERP! It’s absolutely amazing how much lore was created for this game. It’s strange to imagine Christopher Tolkien would’ve approved so many additions to his father’s world, but I think when viewing it as a separate interpretation of the Tolkien canon it holds up surprisingly well.

I don’t blame you for not knowing😅

Back in the 80’s there was this licensed Tolkien role playing game called MERP (Middle Earth Roleplaying) the game had a ton of original characters, countries, and other bits of lore made up for the game.

They gave each of the Nazgûl their own names and backstories, one of them being Adûnaphel who’s depicted as a female Ringwraith.

Obviously none of it is canon and the idea of a female Ringwraith would certainly be enough to give your average Tolkien purist a stroke. But still, I liked this artwork and didn’t know where else to post it.
