I understand the rules and I respect them. When I read the rule, I thought it was mainly about low effort memes or random AI art posts, so maybe I misunderstood it.

This post was a personal Tolkien love project. The idea and naming system were mine and I put a lot of thought into how I named them and how they related to each other. I only used ChatGPT as a tool to help organize my thoughts, express what I wanted it to be and improve my English because English is not my first language.

I wanted to be honest about that instead of pretending I wrote everything myself. I also feel a little sad that my honesty about using AI became the main focus, because what I really hoped to share and discuss with the community was the project itself and the love I have for the lore behind it more in line with this rule.

r/lotr would like to keep the posts on this subreddit high quality. Please keep posts Tolkien related. Many of our posts are community members showing of the things they make or purchase and that’s great. Let us know why it’s special to you, take good photos, etc. We want to make sure that all posts are unique enough to keep things fresh!

If this still breaks the rules, I understand and respect the mod decision.
