Middle-earth comes to Southport: Introduction & Hub

“Eärendil was a mariner 

that tarried in Arvernien; 

he built a boat of timber felled 

in Nimbrethil to journey in; 

her sails he wove of silver fair, 

of silver were her lanterns made, 

her prow he fashioned like a swan, 

and light upon her banners laid.”

-- Bilbo's recital in Rivendell

Fellowship of the Ring
(Book Two, Chapter 1: Many Meetings)
