I am not the artist you are but I might be able to provide some insight. The term is equivalent to the Miðgarðr of Norse mythology and Middangeard in Old English works, including Beowulf. 0:00 - Intro0:16 - Years of the Lamps1:17 - Years of the Trees5:28 - First Age10:03 - Second Age25:22 - Third Age46:04 - Fourth AgeOllie Bye. I hope you can make a more accurate representation of the map. Middle-earth is the setting of much of the English writer J. I have enjoyed your artwork and the whimsical situations of locations. I was sixteen when I read the Lord of the Rings and it remains my all time favourite book. I don’t like being such a hard-nosed critic regarding these details but I have enjoyed all of this for many years. These mountains are referred to as the greatest in the world and I believe the map should reflect this. If you read the early parts of the Silmarilion there is a passage that refers to Morgoth rearing the “Towers of Mist”(Misty Mountains) to obstruct the passage of Orome. Further more this has created a map depicting the Blue mountains to be disproportionately huge compared to the Misty mountains. As Tolkien appeared (at least in regard to Middle Earth) to recognise a world where there was temperature increase as one journeyed south, this would put these parts of the map distinctly out of sync. This would also cause conflict for any climatologists as Beleriand in Tolkien’s creation is regarded as a very hospitable climate as compared to Eriador which is regarded as temperate at best. On this map the Blue mountains have achieved a disproportionate size due to compensating to Eriador being made a much smaller area further to the south of Beleriand. They existed at more or less corresponding levels of latitude separated by the Blue mountains.

Okay, so maybe you’ve seen a full map of Arda before, but it’s always fun to find a new look at an old favourite.
However I agree with some of the other criticisms of the related settings of Beleriand in regards to Eriador. A map of Middle Earth as you’ve never seen it before. I hate to be critical of someone who has done a lot of research and used imagination especially with the hypothetical siting of many areas only described in text, especially in the undying lands. 1M views 2 years ago silmarillion tolkien.

In total the series exists of three hardbacks. I also love seeing the ice bridge connecting the northern portions of the two islands/continents. Three new maps of Middle-earth, The Hobbit, Beleriand by John Howe and Brian Sibley. Or, alternatively, England and Ireland, depending on scale. Your best bet is to stitch together a number of maps. His work is often criticised in the Tolkien community. Poster of the map of Middle-earth from The Lord of the Rings and other works of Tolkien Based on the original map drawn by the inventor of modern fantasy. There’s a lot of evidence that Arda is the same planet we live on, in a different age, and this map showcases some ways in which Middle-Earth and the Undying Lands might eventually become the continents we know today. David Day's map is widely regarded as one of the worst examples of Arda. From what I understand, this map isn’t entirely accurate, but it’s still fun to peruse. Like any Fantasy fan, I’m always curious to see what lays beyond the edges of those maps we’re all so familiar with from our countless reads and re-reads of The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit. This map really helps to put into perspective the journeys of Frodo and Bilbo, showing that they trek over only a small portion of the entirety of Middle Earth and Arda itself.
For all things Tolkien, The Lord Of The Rings, The Hobbit, Silmarillion, and more.
