I'm kind of excited. Since Amazon published that
blank Middle-Earth map on February 15th, they have been following a posting schelude that seems linked to the poem about the Rings, adding names to the map. Last update was nine days ago, and the lines "Nine for Mortal Men doomed to die", which means that t
here should be an update today in about two hours.
*SCREAMS IN EXCITMENT*
So, SO. All the names in the current map point towards this map being a
Second Age map. Forging of the Rings? War of the Last Alliance? I don't know, but I'm excited for some new names to play with!
I would love to see something with Celebrimbor and the Forging of the Rings, maybe the Blue Wizards from the version where they arrive during the Second Age instead of the Third Age, but we still don't know how much material outside the Appendixes they're actually allowed to use.
I really hope this is not simply a map that someone uses in the series, because otherwise there will be blood after getting everyone's hopes up for Second Age fun.
Now, if you excuse me, I'll expend the next two hours staring impatiently at the clock.
