'ello one and all, My name's Ben and I hail from the greater metropolitan area of Detroit, jewel of the American Midwest (not really). Just happened upon this site and liked what I saw so I decided to join up. I've read bits and pieces of Tolkein's works (and need to read them through to their completion) and love the LoTRO movies. They are such a welcome relief from the usual junk spewed out by Hollywood. I'm looking forward to getting involved with PT.

Welcome Xaan. I like Detroit, it is to me a collage of many interesting architectural and cultural points. The name always reminds me of metal, I suppose of cars and such.
I hope you will take the time to read some of the older postings as well as the new . That way you will certainly get to understand the warmth and intelligence that permeates this wondrous place.
Welcome to PT 
Welcome Xaan
