 Middle
Earth Roleplaying Cover/Jacket Text: "Then Bard drew his bow-string to his ear. The dragon was circling back, flying low, and as he came the moon rose above the eastern shore and silvered his great wings... "The dragon swooped once more lower than ever, and as he turned and dived down his belly glittered white with sparkling fires of gems in the moon - but not in one place. The great bow twanged. The black arrow sped straight from the string, straight for the hollow by the left breast where the foreleg was flung wide. In it smote and vanished, barb, shaft, and feather, so fierce was its flight. With a shriek that deafened men, felled trees and split stone, Smaug shot spouting into the air, turned over and crashed down from on high in ruin." - The Hobbit
Creatures details the significant beasts and monsters of Tolkien's world - the kelvar, living things that move, born of the Great Song, such as ravens, ulmodili (dolphins), mearas (descendants of Oromeë's steed), oliphaunts, great eagles, crebain, the Kirinkir of fallen Númenor, and black swans; as well as the twisted things "of horn and ivory" that "dye the earth with blood" at Morgoth's behest. Creatures of Middle-earth includes: BEASTS - everything from the Great Eagles of the Misty Mountains to the
Ravens of Erebor to the noisy Neekerbreekers that so annoyed Merry, Pippin,
Sam, and Frodo in the Midgewater Marshes. Each animal has a short description
preceded by specifics on its size, preferred climate, and favored environment. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTE: This product replaces the 1st Edition Creatures of Middle-Earth (1988)
sourcebook. Comments
It isen´t such a good book,because the discreptions aren´t very
detailed and the Monsters don´t give a varity of Challenges,they aren´t
special enough. | |
