I've always been facinated in Arda maps.

Here is a link to maps of Ea, and of Arda in the different ages, I like to study them while I read the Silmarillion, children of Hurin, etc. etc.

I'm actually rereading the Silmarillion (for the first time in at least 15 years), with this guide close at hand. The maps and art are fantastic.

Haha, it isn't really meant to be read cover to cover. It's just an encyclopedia of major people, places, and events in the Tolkien universe, and it's full of awesome drawings, paintings, watercolors, etc. The whole thing is probably only 150 pages.

Very cool book, I've got loads of books on Tolkien legendarium. Where are you in the Silmarillion at the moment? I am also reading it again!

About 75% through, just starting "Of The Rings of Power and the Third Age." Which, to me, is where it really starts to take off.

Very cool! Looks like a colorized version of the map in my Tolkien Beastiary. If Nicely done!

I always enjoy looking at this map.
