Tham Mirdain
There was, in the middle of the Second Age of the sun, a thriving elf nation here in Eregion. It had no name apart from the land that harbored it, but this nation was home, first and foremost, to a great society of crafters called the Gwaith-in-Mirdain, the folk of the jewelsmiths. They made some Rings and we should talk about it. Beneath Your Feet is a podcast about exploring Middle-earth through The Lord of the Rings Online game (LOTRO).

Lyndelby
It is, truly, an epic climb up the Cabed Rhimdath. You think you know the Misty Mountains, having been up and down them, north and south, east and west, at least a dozen times, but the old rock, erected in the long ago of the Years of the Trees, still keeps her secrets. These peaks were lifted out of the ground by Melkor, Morgoth, the original big bad, way back when as a hindrance to Orome, the Valar who went often abroad on his horse in search of the Firstborn. They’re shorter now but still men...
