We talk about what Tolkien wrote about the lore and history of his The Lord of the Rings, The Hobbit (and The Silmarillion) books. You can ask your questions, and we try to answer them (including quotes) and discuss the lore. I often try to answer in a lot of detail and we look and maps, because maps are awesome.
