Back when I was a studying biology, I noticed that a lot of anatomical terms sound like they come straight from Middle Earth. So, to celebrate the release of the last Hobbit film, I’ve created this INCREDIBLY nerdy quiz.
Do these words and phrases refer to parts of the human body, or reference people and places from J. R. R. Tolkien’s work?
- Antrum of Highmore
- Crypt of Morgagni
- Caves of Androth
- Lobelia
- Loop of Henle
- Scapha
- Great Vein of Galen
- Halls of Mandos
- Groin
- Gap of Calenardhon
- Macewen’s Triangle
- Canal of Schlemm
- Gerontius
- Islets of Langherans
- Meckel’s Cave
- Chamber of Mazarbul
You shall not pass.
Excellent! How did you do?
14/16! Not bad
Ah yes, I remember reading about these in the Histories of the Middle Ear… or was it Teleporno’s Anatomy? I can’t remember now.

Songs of Stone and Mountain by pandemonium_213
I have previously alluded to the deep friendship between Dísa, the noble Dwarf-woman of the House of Narvi, and Mélamírë, the Second Age elven-smith of Ost-in-Edhil, e.g., Chapter 28 of The Elendilmir and Chapter 4 of The Writhen Pool. This is a collection of stories about these two OFCs of the Pandë!verse.
So. OFCs. Pandë!verse. That’s fair warning. Probably of interest to a limited audience.
REVVING MYSELF UP TO READ THIS
Hey guys! As you’ve probably seen in previous posts, the Werewolf Calendar has opened for pre-orders! I was honored to be asked to join the project and, since it has been announced, wanted to share with you my process for this piece from thumbnails to final.
// Hand in hand with the post of the History of the Nazgûl comes this one: For those who want to know a little more about the seven Tribes of the Dwarves, also called the Seven Families, those who one king of each one recieved a Ring of Power from Sauron, here I attached the notes I’ve made, telling their history, kings, locations, etc. Hope you enjoy it.
