1.0 GUIDELINES
Fantasy role playing (FRP) is akin to a living novel where the
players arc the main characters. Everyone combines to write a
story which is never short of adventure. They help create a new
land and strange new taJes in which the characters are forever
immortaJized.
Guidebook modules are intended as aids for OMs wishing 10
integrate J.R.R. Tolkien's Middle-earth into their fantasy role
playing game. Essentially each module is a handy reference unit
specifically oriented toward major fantasy role playing systems
and lheongoing Middle-earth series from ICE. Each focuses more
closely on concepts or bodies of knowledge useful to the role
player in Middle-earth and is intended to supplemem the generaJ
coverage provided by adventures detailed in campaign and adven­
ture modules. Guidebook modules have statistical infonnation
based on Ihe Middk-earth Role Pl4ying (MERP) and Roienuukr
(RMJ fantasy systems. The modules are, however, adaptable for
use with most major role playing games. Creative guidelines, not
absolutes, are emphasized.
Each module is based on extensive research and attempts to
mcct the high standards associated with the Tolkien legacy. Ra­
tional linguistic,cuhuraJ. and geological data are employed. Inter­
pretive material has been included with great care, and fits into
defined patterns and schemes. ICE does not intend it to be the sole
or proper view; instead, we hope to give the reader the thrust of the
creative processes and lhe character of the given body of material.
Remember that the ultimate sources of infonnatioo are the
works of Professor lR.R. Tolkien. Posthumous publications
edited by his son Christopher shed additional light on lhc world of
Middle-earth. This module is derived from TIt� Hobbit and TIt�
Lord oj tII� Ring',although it has been developed so that no
conflict exists with any of the other sources.
2.0 INTRODUCTION
In writing T lte Lord oj tlt� Ring', J.R.R. Tolkien plotted the
phases of the moon over Endor during the years ofT.A. 3018 and
3019 to be sure that Sam Gamgcc's surprise at seeing the new
moon after the Fellowship's stay in L6rien was valid. The burden
of a similar attention to detail falls on the GM's shoulders when he
orshe sccks to create the sense of reality vital to an FRPcampaign
set in Middle-earth. The glossary of tenns and the Elvish diction­
ary presented in this guidebook module provide materials to
substantially ease this task.
3.0 AN EL VISH DICTIONARY
Many a traveller bent to the aims of the Free Peoples o f Endor
longs to take his ease at Rivendcll. listening to Elvish minstrels
making swcct music in the Hall of Fire. While the Silvan mage
wishes to return home to feast with the woodland king under the
noble boughs of Greenwood the Great. And the spent and tired
warrior hopes for healing beneath the blossoming ma1loms of
LothI6rien in spring. lbc following materials aid the GM in
providing PCs with authentic experiences among the Eldar and
throughout the lands influenced by Elvish thought and language.
1bc section contains notes on Elvish pronunciation and gram­
mar and an Elvish dictionary. divided into two subsections: the
first giving the mean ing of Sindarin and Quenya words and
syllables in English. the second tranSlating English words into the
Eldarin tongues. Used together. the subsections allow the GM to
create authentic names for the Eldar and their sites, 10 sprinkJe the
speec h of Elven Lords with phrases from Quenya or Sindarin. and
to decipher the meaning of lenns such as Annon-in-Gelydh and
Rammas Echor.
3.1 NOTES ON PRONUNCIATION
The following text is intended as a guide to the correct pronun­
ciation of Eldarin words. In the imerest of accuracy, we have
derived the material from Tolkien's notes on the subject on pages
487-492 in Th� Lord oJtlt� Ring'. More complete information on
the evolution of phonemes from the primeval Elvish tongue into
Quenya and Sindarin is available in Appendix E of the same wort.
CONSONANTS
C always has the sound of the k in kin. never the s in simple;
Celebrimbor is pronounced "Kelebrimbor", not "Sclebrim­
bor". Sometimes (kell'ar,kalina),k is used in spelling.
CH represents the ch in Scottish loch orGerman bach,never the
ch in English chime. lurch. Thus, echiam, echuir.
DH the voiced or "soft" th of English: that is. the Ih in thes�,not
the th in though. Thus. dannedh. ga/adh. hahodh.
F the/infalher, except finally, where it represents the v of
English of. Thus. Nindal[. Fladrif.
G the g in English gone, never that in regimen; Region and
Eregion are not pronounced like English region ("Ree-jin").
but like regal. ("Reg-ee-on"); and the first syllable of girilh
is like the English gear, not jeer.
H the h in horse. behest if standing alone with no otherconso­
nants. The Quenya ht is like the chI of German acht. Thus,
hahta. tehta. ohlar.
in Sindarin only. the consonantal sound of y in English
)'ond�r,if at the beginning of a word before another vowel.
Thus. Idvas.
L similar to the J in English limb. It is "palatalized" between
e or i and a consonant. TIle Eldar would transcribe English
f�1I and till asf�ol and tiol.
NG the ng in linger. except at the end of a word when it sounds
like the English bring. TIle latter sound occurred initially in
Quenya in earlier ages. bul evolved to n by the Third Age.
Thus, Cno/do became Noldo.
PH the/infi,h. It is found (I) when thefphoneme occurs at
the end of a word, as in niph "white"; (2) where it is related
to or derived from p. as in i-Pheriannath "the Halflings"
(perian); and (3) in the middle of some words where it
represents a longff(from pp) as in eph�/"ouler fence".
QU represents CW, a combination common in Quenya, althOUgh
nonexistant in Sindarin.
R always a trilled r, the sound is not lost before consonants. as
in the EngliSh dart. TIle back or uvular r used by Orcs and
some Dwarves was distasteful to the Eldar.
S the voicelesss insew and ceas�. n.e voiced s in reason does
not occur in the Quenya and Sindarin of the Third Age.
TH voiceless th in the English thought and thorough. In
Quenya. this evolved to s when spoken. Thus.Q. sil. S. thil.
"shine".
TY similar to the I in the English tune. Thus, tyar. tyulma.
V the v of value. but not used at the end of a word.
W the w in warm. HW is voiceless as in whi(�.
Y in Quenya. represents they in yard. In Sindarin,y is a vowel.
HY signifies the sound in the English hue and human.
Consonants written twice, such as tl,lI, ss, nn,are pronounced
long. Annon has the long n in the English unnumbered, not the
short n in unaware and many. Double consonants al the end of
words with more than one syllable were usually shortened. Thus.
Rohan evolved from Rochann which derived from Rachand.
An Elvish DictioTU1rylNotes on Elvish Grammar
VOWt:LS
AI a long i as in English wine, The third syllable of
Druedain is like dine, not Dane,
AU Iheow in down. Thus Aulif is pronounced "Owl-ee"
and Sauron is "SOUf-on", not "Sore-on",
EI the sound in Ihe English fey Of day, Teiglin is
"Tayglin" not "Tyeglin",
IE not like Englishniece, but with both vowels sounded
and run together. NienTU1 is "Nee-en-na", nOI "Nee­
"
na ,
UI like English ruin. Thus,8ruinen.
AE len pronounced asai (English eye). However, in
of
Aegnor and NirTU1eth, it is a combination of the in­
dividual vowels, a-e.
OE often pronounced as in English toy. However, in
Noegyth and Loeg it is a combination of the individ­
ual vowels, o-e.
EA, EO constitute two syUables; they are not run together
and are written ifa and eo. (At the beginning of
proper names, Ea and Eo, as in Earnur and Eof),
D pronounced like the 00 in poor, Hurin, Turin, and
TuTU1 should be pronounced ''Toorin'', "Hoorin",
and "Toona", not "Tyoorin", "Hyoorin", or
''Tyoona'',
ER, 1R, UR if before a consonant (An'ernien, Glirhuin, Our­
thang) or at the end of a word (Brandir) should not
be pronounced as the English erg,first, and urn, but
as the English air, year, and moor.
E always pronounced as a distinct vowel at the end of
a word or in the middle of one. It is usually wrinen
if when used finally.
In addition to the vowel sounds, ai, au, and ui, listed above. oi,
iu, and eu are Quenya diphthongs and pronounced as one syllable,
All other pairs of vowels are pronounced separately, that is they are
dissyllabic. Diacritic marks often, but not always, indicate the
correct pronunciation: eo, eo, at, etc.
The diphthongs ae, ai, ei, De, ui, and au are Sindarin construc­
tions. All other vowel combinations are dissyllabic. When it
occurs at the end of a word, au is often written ow.
The vowels i,e,a,o, and u are pronounced as the sounds in the
Eng lish fiend, per, calm, more, and lute,
The long Quenya I and 0 are, when properly pronounced, tenser
and "closer" than the shan vowels. Westron speakers usually
pronounce them as the English say and no, but the Eldar regard this
as provincial and in error. However, those who pronounce yini
unolime "'ong-years innumerable" as "yainy oonoatimy" bear
company with Bilbo, Meny, and Pippin.
A circumflex marked over stressed monosyllables in Sindarin
signifies a particularly long vowel, Thus Hfn Hurin sounds like
"Heen Hocrin".
3
STRESS
The position of the stress or "accent" is detennined by the form
of a word, In two-syllable words, it almost always falls on the first
syllable, In longer words, it falls on the second to last syllable, if
the syllable contains a long vowel, a dipthong, or a vowel followed
by two or more consonants. When the second to last syllable
contains a shon vowel followed by only one or no consonants, the
stress falls on the syllable preceding it, the third from the end.
Words of the laner fonn are favored especially in Quenya.
The accented vowels in the following examples are marked by
a capital lener: islldur, Orome, erEssea,f/lanor, ancAlima, elen­
tAri, dEnelhor, eClhElion, pelArgir, sillvren.
3.2 NOTES ON ELVISH GRAMMAR
It is possible to create grammatically correct sentences in the
Eldarin IOngues using general rules of thumb extrapolated from
the names, phrases, and poems presented by Tolkien in The Lord
ofthe Rings and other works. Although the recorded vocabulary
is limited, certain generalizations about Quenya and Sindarin are
discemable. These generalizations are not intended to be a
complete study of the grammar of the Eldarin tongues, The
irregularities and unique cases typical of any language are more
than this guidebook can aspire to. Rather, the infonnation is
presented to provide theGM with the basics that will give his orher
campaign the depth possible in the Middle-earth milieu, The most
useful observations follow below.
3.21 QUENYA
In Quenya, grammatical structure is built by adding different
endings onto a root as well as the manipulation of word order. Thus
verb tenses, plura1s, possessives, and prepositional elements all
exist as suffixes which contain little semantic meaning until
attached to another word.
VERas
Each Quenya verb can be conjugated in five lenses, singular and
plura1, and using three pronoun suffuxes: I, we, and thou. When
the subject of a sentence is plura1, the verb must also be plura1; e.g.,
eleni silar "stars shine". The genera1 fonn is:
present: root + a present plural: root + or
past: root + e past plural: root + er
ruture: root + uva rutun: plural: root + uvar
imperative: root + e imperative plural: root + er
subjunctive: root + ai subjunctive plural: root + air
The suffixes indicating pronouns are: -n for I, -(I)met for we, and
-lye for thou. When using we, the I in (I)metmay take the place of
the plural r. Examples using the verbs to be and to behold appear
below,

nalmet we are ne/met we were

elan I behold elen I beheld

tutu� Imperative The possesis ve is fooned by dropping the final vowel, if any,
nuvon 1 will be nen I am! and adding o. Plurals do not drop the final vowel, and the suffix

NazgfU - (B.S. "Ring Servants", "Ringwraithsj. Also called simply
'The Nine,' these were nine great lords of Men enslaved by Sauron :n the
Second Age. Each had apparently coveted great power and accepted one
ofthe Nine Rings or Men wrought by Sauron. Since the rings were ruled
by lhe One Ring and keyed to the Dark Lord, the NazgOI became slaves.
As time passed they became immortaJ in a sense, undead, and no longer
possessed bodies associated with the living. Essentially, they became
'shadows' ofgreat power, and acted as Sauron's most uusted lieutenants.
The WilCh.king ofAngmar, also called the lord ofMOfgul. was theirchief;
he was the Lord or the NazgOI and possessed the greatest power of
independent action. The NazgOI were afraid ofwater, some fires, and the
name 'E1bereth.' They wcre vinually blind by usual standards, but
possessed amazing senses ofsmell. elC. which helped offset this weakness
and gave them tremendous advantages in darkness. Their power was
lessened during the day. and KhamOI, the second to the Olief, had
considerable fear of the light. Some of the others may have shared all or

weaknesses, and were rarely stayed for more than brief intervals. Also

Orcs or Uruk-hai, who reach heights of six feel and have more 'human'
features. All are heavy ofbuild and have long, thin arms and thick hides.
Bred as laborers and warriors, Orcsrespect linle butbrute force. and are
most pacent when serving under a 'focused will.' They are without
exception cannibalistic, bloodthirsty, and cruel, and care little for social
organization. Generally. smallertriN1/clanal unilaare the norm, based on

Sauron-("The Abhorred"). The DarkLord, the Shadow,theEnemy, the
Lord of the Rings. A Maiaof Aul! who served Morgoth in the First Age,
Sauron survived and went south from theelder lands of darkness. During
the Second Age, he convinced the NoldorofEregion to create the rings for
the Free Peoples; later, in secret, he forged the One Ring. This ring
embodied much of his power and was capable of uniting and controlling
the other Rings ofPower-the Three Rings of the Elves, the Seven ofthe
Dwarven lords, and the Nine Rings of mankind. Both the Dwarves and
Elves resisted his trap; the formertook offtheir rings, while the latterrace
entrusted theirs to three of the Wise. Men, however, were not so quick to
realize the danger, and the Nine rings remained in the hands of nine proud
lords who sought power and found undying darkness - they became the
NazgO!. Sauron removed himself to the fortress land of Mordor in the
Second Age and there built Barad-dOr. Mount Doom (Orodruin) was
already used as his personal forge, andwithin the new realm he began 10
cast a new Shadow upon the continent.
Numen6reans under Ar-Pharazon, and later by the Last Alliance of Men
and Elves. Each time, however, he retumed to power. His "body",
however, was destroYed in the Downfall of Numenor (from which he
escaped), and he was never again able to assume fair form. The lidless eye
(nonnally reduponblack) was his symbol. He was responsible forcreating
two superior variants of creatures spawned by Morgoth - the Uruk-hai,
or great Orcs, and the Olog-hai, or Black Trolls. Both were formidable
fighting forces. Read lAIRl n, 291," L{ttRll loo; Lot1UII23, /17, 189;
