Welcome to the Quenta Silmarillion, sit yourself down at a table and hear the stories of old. The ~Silmarillion-Club is a group on deviantART centred around the early works of JRR Tolkien, i.e. The Silmarillion. To all those with an interest in the History of Middle-Earth, welcome to a community that shares that fascination. On a slightly more forceful note:

> This fanbase is made entirely for the purposes of Tokien's early writings, not associated with the new Lord of the Rings trilogy by New Line Cinema or upcoming Hobbit. This is strictly for *Silmarillion and History of Middle-Earth* purposes ALONE.

> Not convinced we're a club worth joining? The ~Silmarillion-Club is a quickly growing community that is still a tight-nit group of a nice small size, not so small there's no one to talk with, and not so large that you don't know enough of the people. Take a look at the full list of our members here: [link]
