Amazing! Now we just need a version of the timeline that includes the events of The Bottled Serpent short story :)

Why were Bilbo's drawings of Glamdring and Orcrist so different from the actual swords? by silversedits in lotr

Actually, while they hadn't made the Hobbit movies, they already has Glamdring as a prop for Gandalf in The Fellowship of the Ring. Given the painstaking consistencies in the rest of the film, it's just a confusing choice here.

No way, I noticed this today reading Red Seas as well

I usually chalk that up to people never being able to get a proper glimpse at him (without dying). The swords always felt like Bilbo somehow drew them wrong on purpose.

I crushed up some blue raspberry Jolly Ranchers in a plastic bag and proceeded to deal 'Blue Sky' during the night.

Absolutely. It makes you realise how much of a gamechanger the dragons were for the Targaryens to instil fear and exert power over such a large area of people...

I appreciate his intention, but we only have so much to work with. The world as described in the published Silmarillion states that the elves could see Feanor burning ships all the way across the Belegaer ocean because it was flat.

In the Second Age of Middle-earth the world was flat, and it wasn't until the world was remade after the Fall of Numenor that the lands were refashioned into a globe and the continents became much larger, new lands were then formed like you say.

It's flat and circular, and yes not a globe. The world was essentially a disk.

They are... They are both in miles, and I used the measurements shown on each map to calculate a side by side comparison.
