The Tolkien Toast ~ It's time for the 2012 Toast to The Professor!

Here is our annual Animated Birthday Toast to The Professor!

Raise a Glass and Give a Toast to Tolkien!

On the 3^rd January 1892 JRR Tolkien was born in Bloemfontein, South Africa. To celebrate this event, on this day each year Tolkien fans around the world were invited to raise a glass and toast the birthday of this much loved author 21:00 (9 pm) your local time.
The toast is "The Professor".

For those unfamiliar with British toast-drinking ceremonies:

To make the Birthday Toast, you stand, raise a glass of your choice of drink (not necessarily alcoholic), and say the words 'The Professor' before taking a sip (or swig, if that's more appropriate for your drink). Sit and enjoy the rest of your drink.

Here is our animated Tolkien Toast we share each year... gather around friends or just raise a glass yourself... let the flash animation below play and make your toast to The Professor! Enjoy everyone!

On This Day In Mordor ~ The year 3019 ~ The Day January 3

News of the One Ring has come to the Dark Tower.

Beyond doubt, the Ring has left Rivendell and is moving south along the line of the Misty Mountains. Sauron feels sure that no one has yet declared himself Master of the Ring... there is still a time of doubt and fear among his enemies. However, it is only a matter of time before one comes forth and sets himself against the Power of Mordor. The mind of Sauron is bent upon the finding of the Ring... but he knows that now he must be wary... there may still be a chance to snatch the Ring before anyone of them gains control over all the others and brings them under his sway.

Spies from Mordor move Northward across the plain of the Dagorlad to Mirkwood and the Misty Mountains. Saruman has been ordered to guard the Gap or Rohan. Soon, Sauron will know exactly were the Ring is... and then it will be taken and returned to it true Master.

Within the borders of Mordor, upon the Plain of Gorgoroth, the Mouth of Sauron stands upon the Iron Bridge before the Gate of Barad-dûr. A great host of Men from Khand have entered the Plain beneath the Shadow of Orodruin and now have made encampment before the Dark Tower. The Lords of Kand pay tribute to Sauron the Great with men of arms, gold and slaves!

The Nazgûl even now are circling above the Darkness of Gorgoroth and the peak of Mount Doom, their piercing cries subduing the willful Men of Khand. Like all others, they are soon humbled before the power and might of Mordor!
