The Hobbit

[CV]

 ???Where 100% X-actly is Middle Earth? Like on the map...

[Gil Galad]

What do you mean by this question, like where in Arda or where on the third rock from the Sun?

[CV]

Arda? OK, Does any1 know where, like in the book, not in real, is Hobbiton? Apart from next to Mirkwood.

[Andúnië]

!?!? Hobbiton is not next to Mirkwood.

[screams]

this thread makes me go 

[Gil Galad]

Hahahaha, middle earth is the western region of a larger mass of land or something like that, and Arda is the Entire world in which Middle Earth is contained in along with other places, but it could not be possible to explain it right now because it would last FOREVER, I recommende you pick up or look at the Atlas of Middle Earth, it is very well done and one of my favorite references

[Gil Galad]

And Hobiton ismost definately NOT by Mirkwood

[Thorongil]

Arda? OK, Does any1 know where, like in the book, not in real, is Hobbiton? Apart from next to Mirkwood.

Please try to type in normal english. It's already hard enough for some of us to read perfectly written english books or magazines for example.

[Gil Galad]

Even though this postis rather old i agree, i just didnt say anything

What is Adra? I just thought that Middle-Earth was this Earth but in The Third Age.

[Shiona]

I don't think it hurts too much to imagine it as this Earth, but in a different time with a different "skin" and the continents and seas all in different places.
After all, they have day and night,spring, summer, autumn, winter and  there only seems to be one sun and one moon.
You can spend a long time analysing the origins of Arda, where it is, what it is, what it is meant to be, how it was created - just as long as it doesn't stop you enjoying the story!
