From ancient serpents and Fáfnir to Glaurung, Smaug and Ancalagon the Black. 🐉 My latest article explores the origins, varieties and history of Tolkien's dragons, including just how enormous Ancalagon might have been. thedwarrowscholar.com/2026/1…

“For the Naugrim have beards from the beginning of their lives, male and female alike.” For a show so proud of its so-called “respect for Tolkien’s writings”, would it really have killed them to give these Dwarf children beards? #TheRingsOfPower #LOTRonPrime #Tolkien #Dwarves

Tolkien's Khuzdul remained mutually intelligible across thousands of years. Linguistically, that should be almost impossible. So why didn't the Seven Houses end up speaking seven different languages? thedwarrowscholar.com/2026/0…
