‘I have passed through fire and deep water, since we parted. Legolas recognized the wizard, and Aragorn reminded him of his name. The White RiderĪfter having seen Saruman the previous night in the forest of Fangorn, the Three Hunters mistook the resurrected Gandalf the White for the traitor on the very spot where Merry and Pippin had earlier met Treebeard. This time we’ll be examining what happened to Gandalf the Grey after his fall from the Bridge of Khazad-dûm.

WHAT DOES THE WRITING MEAN ON THE LORD OF THE RINGS RING SERIES
It’s really wonderful to return to Arda! There is so much to look forward to when The Rings of Power airs this fall – and even sooner if these posters are any indication.Welcome back to my series of posts exploring how J.R.R. The symbol for the silent “e” is given a value of “*” on the chart in the appendices, and it was only through further research that I was able to confirm the corresponding letter and sound. The second thing that tripped me up was the rune used for the silent “e” in “Awake” and “Stone”. It does say “This Angerthas Moria is represented in the tomb-inscription.” Assuming this references Balin’s Tomb, the “ng” rune might not have been in popular usage until later than the series may portray. According to the LotR appendices, the “ng” rune was one of the newer cirth introduced by the Dwarves of Moria, though it does not say at what date. The poster uses the rune for “nj” instead of “ng”. The first was the rune used for “ng” in “Sleeping”. In translating the poster, there were two runes that confused the meaning at first. The Dwarves of Moria added to and expanded the Angerthas to serve their own language and purposes. Cirth only represented the sounds of Sindarin, and were primarily used for engraving into stone, metal, or wood, the reason for the straight edges and angles of the letters. The Elves later abandoned Cirth for Tengwar, used commonly to write Quenya and Sindarin. In Tolkien’s legendarium, the origins of the Dwarven runes as we know them date back to the Sindar and Noldor Elves, and the Dwarves did not come to learn them until the beginning of the Second Age, which fits in with the show’s timeline. Tolkien borrowed from these sources and others to create his own unique set of runes. Historically, runes were used across Northern Europe during the Middle Ages by the Anglo-Saxons and Vikings. They were created by Tolkien and appear in a chart in the Lord of the Rings in ‘Appendix E: Writing and Spelling’. In regards to the runes that appear on the hammer, they are a system of writing called the Cirth, or the Angerthas. Or it could be that the inscription on the hammer refers to the Dwarves’ love of delving deep under the earth, awakening the stone to its potential to become vast and glorious halls, such as Menegroth, the realm of King Thingol and Queen Melian, and Moria, or as it is called in the Dwarven tongue, Khazad-dûm. But when the time comes, I will awaken them…” J.R.R Tolkien, The Silmarillion, Of Aulë and Yavanna “They shall sleep now in the darkness under stone, and shall not come forth until the Firstborn have awakened upon Earth and until that time thou and they shall wait, though long it may seem.
Instead of destroying Aulë’s creations, Ilúvatar granted them life, but not until after the Elves were awakened.
When Aulë, one of the Valar, created the Dwarves in secret “in a hall under the mountains in Middle-earth”, he preempted Eru Ilúvatar’s desire that the Elves, the Firstborn of his design, be the first sentient beings in Middle-earth. Perhaps the meaning behind these words can be discovered in The Silmarillion. The words on the sword seem to translate as “Awake Sleeping Stone”
