| | Introduction to Middle Earth for LOTR movie |
 | | Another point to note is that with the destruction of the Master Ring, the elven rings will also lose their power, so that is why the Elves will have to leave Middle Earth at the end of the tale. | | | There are also other towers in Middle Earth, and you will see them as the story develops. | | | So this book is a good introduction to LOTR and the world of Middle Earth. |

| | Black Gate: Reviews of our Recent Issues |
| | "The centerpiece of the Fall issue of Black Gate is Mark Tiedemann's impressive novella "Miller's Wife." Egan Ginter is fleeing another failed relationship in the big city; he hopes a couple weeks at a friend's house in the Ozark town of Saletcroix will heal him. | | | Black Gate has sharpened its focus on these two elements of good fiction, while never abandoning the brisk pacing, imagination, and swashbuckling fun, strangeness, or horror one expects in an adventure tale. | | | Black Gate is thick, halfway between a trade paperback and a regular magazine. |

| | As the Black Gate collapsed, the Dark Tower toppled, and in the midst of their flight the mighty Nazgul fell shrieking in flames that ended them for ever. | | | Tales tell of a breed of large black crows that lived in Dunland and the Forest of Fangorn in the Third Age. | | | Clad in black armour, often carrying straight swords and long yew bows as well as many of the evil and poisoned Orcs weapons, the Uruk-hai were made elite men-at-arms and most often were the high commanders and captains of the lesser Orcs. |

| | Today in Middle-Earth |
| | The Towers of the Teeth swayed, tottered, and fell down; the mighty rampart crumbled; the Black Gate was hurled into ruin; and from far away, now dim, now growing, now mounting to the clouds, there came a drumming rumble, a roar, a long echoing roll of ruinous noise. | | | But the earth was all rent and pitted about him, and he stumbled and fell backward before the feet of Morgoth; and Morgoth set his left foot upon his neck, and the weight of it was like a fallen hill. | | | And even as he spoke the earth rocked beneath their feet. |

| | There waiting silent and still in the space before the Gate, sat Gandalf upon Shadofax, Shadowfax who alone among the free horses of the earth endured the terror, unmoving, steadfast as a graven image in Rath Dinen. | | | After this, Khazad-dum was renamed Moria which translates as the Black Chasm. | | | Almost no animals would face the Nazgul, especially the Lord of the Nazgul, save the horses bred in the Black Land. |

| | Magic in Middle-earth |
| | Mages can draw power from their familiars and use it for casting spells (which explains why Gandalf needed Shadowfax to stop a Nazgûl on the gates of Minas Tirith). | | | Nevertheless, during the first years of their power, the Dúnedain have built glorious citadels like Isengard, Minas Tirith and the towers of Osgiliath, while the ones under the influence of the Shadow -- the Corsairs and the Black Númenoreans -- continued using the magical traditions that have always been considered evil. | | | Black Wise: Sauron and the Nazgûl, as well as Saruman after his fall under the Shadow; briefly, all the Wise sharing a primary goal of supremacy of the Shadow and spreading of evil. |
