Very nice discourse on the geography of the shire along with the cultural importance of each area. There is much I didn't know.

Although they are pleasing to look at, too many of the illustrations show mountainous backgrounds not found in The Shire. Yes there are hilly areas in The Shire, but these are not alpine crags. Think about the terrain of England. Tolkien's love of rural England is the inspiration for his Shire.

AI makes mistakes

I'm afraid my location high up in the Rocky Mountains has influenced my instincts about what constitutes a mountain versus a hill. But you make a good point. I promise that in the next one I won't make mountains out of molehills. :)

Michel, pronounce Mikel

[@glynlewis1492]

All ‘c’s are pronounced ‘k’ in Tolkien.

r u a a i?

[@TolkienTapestry-cq5vk]

Sorry, not sure what the question is. But I appreciate your input.

[@TolkienTapestry-cq5vk]

Wait, I think I just got it. Am I an AI? No. I do use AI generators. Photoshop, Audacity and other software to make these.
