I’m Mithgond, a huge Tolkien fan who focuses on economics, geography, and other obscure subjects especially concerning the imagination of the reader and incorporation of their own insights.

My first wildflowers of the year: something from the genus Hepatica, in Governor Dodge State Park, #Wisconsin

“Prince Imrahil” by Abe Papakhian. Do you suppose the knights described as accompanying Imrahil were simply well-appointed horse guards of his household? Or were they vassals in turn of the Prince of Dol Amroth, with subfiefs of their own? #tolkienomics #tolkien #luinellë #gondor

Also described by #Tolkien in the Pelennor are byres, which are specifically cow-sheds, as opposed to barns that provide stableage for horses. Large numbers of oxen were employed in the evacuation of Minas Tirith before it was besieged. #tolkienomics #luinellë #gondor

What the heck is #Tolkien talking about when he says “oast?” An oast is a kiln for the drying of hops, primarily used in the brewing of beer. Hops have been cultivated since at least the early Middle Ages, giving a good indication of the technological level of #Gondor. #tolkienomics #luinellë

My last #tolkientok meme. I feel like it was an appropriate way to close out my career. #tolkien #luinellë #memearillion

Another favorite #tolkien artist is Roger Garland. Always something interesting in his paintings, such as the cogwheels that rotate the tower of Minas Morgul in this one. #luinellë

Looking at January’s picture in the 2025 Tolkien Calendar and thinking about this January has me deep in my feels. #luinellë #tolkien #johnhowe

Abe Papakhian does a fine job representing the “townlands” described in the Pelennor. They can feed themselves and the city while its numbers aren’t swelled by troops from afar. #tolkienomics #tolkien #gondor
