So, a lot of the things people are really into about the convention this year - the instant replay videos, the agenda in your own time zone - cost money to make happen. Free to attend does not mean free to put on. Donate so we can keep doing awesome things! flights-of-foundry.org/donate/

Terrific panel session today. We all had a good time geeking out about history and talking about how we find those tidbits. For that matter, there's been a healthy number of history-related panels and talks this year, all quite eye-opening!

Screenshot of paused video playback for panel "Immortality and the Aunties: Living Forever in the Diaspora" with Ash Huang (Ash is seated before a chock-full bookshelf—a sewing machine can also be spied over left shoulder—and wears rounded squarish glasses on her slender oval face framed by sleek, black hair) and Jeané D. Ridges (Jeané round face with dimples out and close-cut curly hair, a stickered white poster board can be spotted slightly in backdrop along with quilted bed and table lamp).

Singaporean artist Leia Ham reimagined LotR as Tale of the Middle Kingdom, since Chinese name for China (Zhōngguó) means "The Middle Kingdom." Her concept art includes the Fellowship, armors, buildings like Bag End, props like Aragorn's banner and Fellowship brooches, and more. #TolkienTrewsday

An illustration of the Fellowship, reimagined with Chinese-style period outfits.

An illustration of armors of Gondor, Rohan, and Rivendell Elves, reimagined using different periods of Chinese armors as concepts. On the top right are three side profiles of Rohan man, Gondorian, and Elf with different Chinese hairstyles. On the bottom right is Aragorn's banner redrawn with Chinese influence.

A concept art of Bag End reimagined as Chinese court houses, with tall stone gates, round wooden doors, curved roofs, and open courtyard, nestled in a hill.

A concept art of Rivendell in the style of Chinese painting. Next to it are several props drawn in Chinese style such as Fellowship brooch based on gingko leaves, lembas in the shape of mooncake, Elfstone as round jade, Galadriel's phial in a green jade bottle, and shards of Narsil.
