Lord Over the Web
Staff Reporter

We asked Erica Challis — aka Tehanu — of the onering.net to nominate the best The Lord of the Rings websites.

* Us, of course! www.theonering.net

* The Lord of the Rings Movie Site — www.tolkien-movies.com

* Imladris — www.lordoftheringsmovie.com

* Suite 101 — www.suite101.com.welcome/cfm/Tolkien has been around a long time and is very comprehensive for serious and fun stuff for the fans.

There are also a few sites that are excellent but have a different focus:

* The Tolkienist — www.thetolkienist.cjb.net has articles, games, music, everything Tolkien.

* The Tolkien Network — http://www.tolkien.nu/ does too.

* The Encyclopaedia of Arda — www.glyphweb.com/arda can answer any Tolkien-related question.

* MyPrecious — www.myprecious.freeuk.com is wonderfully individual and stylish, with music.

* Ardalambion — http://www.uib.no/People/hnohf/ wins on sheer intensity of obsession. This site is for people who actually want to learn to read and write imaginary languages like Elvish. It consistently rates highly in other sites’ top-10 lists.

There are also two good movie news sites based in NZ:

* The Realm of the Ring – http://www.realmofthering.com, run by a teenager in Wellington

* Tol Galen — http://tolgalen.eq realm.com/
