The Tolkien Forum

Fans of J.R.R. Tolkien’s iconic fantasy works like The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit have a central digital home with The Tolkien Forum (www.tolkienforum.com), a 23-year-old online community that has just changed their domain name. This independent online community serves as a gathering place for readers, scholars, creative fans, and enthusiasts of all ages to connect over their shared appreciation for Tolkien’s richly imagined universe of Middle-earth.

“Tolkien’s writings have captivated generations with their immersive world-building and languages, leaving an indelible impact on fantasy and speculative fiction,” said the founder of The Tolkien Forum. “Our goal is to provide a comprehensive platform that enriches the experience of exploring and discussing Tolkien’s legendarium while fostering a vibrant community of fellow fans.”

At its core, The Tolkien Forum celebrates the unparalleled achievement of the esteemed British author whose dedication to constructing Middle-earth spanned decades. From the meticulous development of immersive fictional histories and cultures to crafting fully realized languages like Sindarin and Quenya, Tolkien’s creative talents manifested a vibrant secondary world that continues capturing imaginations globally.  

The Tolkien Forum has changed its domain to a shorter, easier-to-remember one: https://thetolkien.forum. Roberts explained, “We wanted to make it as simple as possible for new fans to find their way into our community.”

The new forum aims to honor Tolkien’s colossal accomplishment by facilitating more profound engagement with the themes, linguistics, genealogies, and myriad other facets comprising his magnum opus. They have also launched an interactive family tree page that contains all of Tolkien’s characters, with links to their respective Wiki pages. The original family tree chart was created by MonarchyCharts, and they allowed us to create an interactive version of it, with links to wiki pages for every character.

Longtime fans and new initiates alike can find elements tailored to their interests, whether scholarly examinations of narrative arcs, linguistic dissections of the Elvish languages, or creative outlets for stories, artwork, and games set in Middle-earth. The Tolkien Forum offers a full suite of sections and features catering to Tolkien devotees, including:

Interactive Family Tree: A visually engaging family tree graphic maps the intricate web of genealogical connections between major characters across Tolkien’s works. Each entry links to a detailed wiki page about that character’s background.

Dedicated Discussion Boards: Specific forum categories foster conversations around book analysis, movie speculation, linguistic studies, creative works like fan fiction and art, gaming, Tolkien-inspired culinary arts, and more.  

While featuring robust content and an active global user base, the ad-free forum emphasizes cultivating a welcoming, moderated environment in line with Tolkien’s unifying themes and moral philosophies. A comprehensive code of conduct upholds standards for respectful, constructive discourse.

“J.R.R. Tolkien’s achievements in world-building and linguistic creativity are truly unparalleled,” Roberts remarked. “The Tolkien Forum aims to celebrate that monumental legacy by providing a virtual council where fans new and old can gather to honor, analyze, and immerse themselves more deeply in the Professor’s masterworks.”

The Tolkien Forum is an independent online community dedicated to exploring and enriching J.R.R. Tolkien’s legendarium, including his iconic works, such as The Lord of the Rings, The Hobbit, and The Silmarillion. Through open discussions, in-depth analysis, creative expressions, and scholarly studies, the forum provides a central hub for fans of Tolkien’s genre-defining fantasy writings to connect and celebrate his enduring literary legacy.
