So, I found an old 1981 SciFi Fantasy mag/comic. Has an interview and story on The Brothers Hildebrand, famous artists and #Tolkien artists also back in the day. Bonus #UnfinishedTales Book review also.
A thread.

‘The Oath of Cirion and Eorl’ Watercolor by Anke Katrin Eißmann (b. 1977).
#JRRTolkien #UnfinishedTales #Cirion #Eorl #AnkeKatrinEißmann #watercolor

‘La Battaglia del Campo di Celebrant fu una grande battaglia combattuta da un esercito di Étheód e Dúnedain di Gondor contro un'armata di Esterlings e Orchi che da est mosse guerra ai Popoli liberi della Terra di Mezzo nell'anno 2510 TE. Lo scontro, che sembrava destinato a volgersi in una sconfitta per Gondor, fu invece una splendida vittoria e il Sovrintendente dell'epoca Cirion, per ringraziare Eorl di essere venuto in suo soccorso, donò agli Éotheód le terre del Mark, che da allora furono conosciute con il nome di Rohan e i suoi abitanti come Rohirrim.’ -https://lotr.fandom.com/it/wiki/Battaglia_del_Campo_di_Celebrant

Tolkien Reading Day. Here's my reading copies of #TheHobbit #LOTR #Silmarillion #UnfinishedTales Well thumbed but still going #Tolkien #TolkienTrewsday @timbolton.bsky.social

Erendis stands on a cliff, looking fierce as the wind blows her long braided hair and dress.

Erendis 🌟, character from the Unfinished Tales by J. R. R. Tolkien.

J.R.R. Tolkien with his wife Edith, photographed by Pamela Chandler in 1961 in his study. The Professor is holding a Japanese-language book (perhaps a translation of "The Hobbit" or "Lord of the Rings"?) Both he and his wife are smiling broadly, indeed Edith appears to be laughing about something. This photo is part of a rare photoshoot by Chandler that earned 50,000 pounds at auction.

Bëor is on the left, wearing a green tunic with gold buttons, a yellow white overcoat, and a ribbon in his greying shoulder length dark curly hair, he has shaved sides and a warm brown skin tone with a white streaked beard, a small scar on his lips and above his right eye. Haleth is in the middle, she wears an animal skin like a coat with two bronze circles holding it together over her red embroidered robe, with a white rober under, her hair is straight brown that falls over her beaded headpiece, scars run up up her left chin. Hador who is at the right has long blonde hair and beard with a gold circle and earing, he is wearing a white cape with red embroideries held together with a metal buckle and a red and orange tunic under.

Of the Three Houses of the Edain; Bëor, Haleth, and Hador, some of my favorite, if not my favorite humans in Tolkien's work :)

The Oath of Eorl #lordoftherings #lotr #tolkien #middleearth #rohan #waroftherohirrim #rohan #eorl #oathofeorl #unfinishedtales

The White Messenger (who was skilled to uncover all secrets) after a time became aware of this gift, and begrudged it, and it was the beginning of the hidden ill-will that he bore to the Grey, which afterwards became manifest.

"War never ceased between Sauron and the Elves and Eregion was laid waste and Celebrimbor slain. In that time the stronghold and refuge of Imladris, that Men called Rivendell, was founded by Elrond Half-elven and long it endured."
