Elessar could mean one of several things:
* Aragorn, a character in the mythical world of J. R. R. Tolkien's Middle-earth
* Elfstone, a jewel, also from the mythical world of J. R. R. Tolkien's Middle-earth
Balrog
A Balrog is a fictional demon-like creature from J.R.R. Tolkien's Middle-earth legendarium. The Balrog (Sindarin for "Demon of Might"; the Quenya form is Valarauco) is a tall, menacing being in the shape of a man, having control of both fire and shadow. It has a fiery whip of many thongs. The Balrog induces great terror in friends and foes alike and can shroud itself in darkness and shadow. The Fellowship of the Ring encountered a Balrog in the mines of Moria, in The Lord of the Rings in the first volume, The Fellowship of the Ring
Argonath
In J. R. R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings, The Argonath, also known as The Gates of Argonath or The Pillars of the Kings, is a fictional monument comprising two enormous pillars, carved in the likenesses of Isildur and Anárion, standing upon either side of the River Anduin at the northern approach to Nen Hithoel. It was originally constructed about T. A. 1340 at the order of Rómendacil II to mark the northern border of Gondor, although the realm was greatly diminished in size by the time the Fellowship of the Ring passed the Argonath on February 25 3019. Each of the two figures was shown wearing a crown and a helm, with an axe in its right hand and its left hand raised in a gesture of defiance to the enemies of Gondor.
Hobbits
In J. R. R. Tolkien's legendarium, a Hobbit is an individual member of one of the races that inhabit the lands of Arda. According to the author, Hobbits are a "variety"[1] or separate "branch"[2] of the race of Men, but they consider themselves a separate race. They first appear in the book The Hobbit, and also play a major role in The Lord of the Rings. They are briefly mentioned in The Silmarillion, the work concerning itself more with Elves and Men.
Gandalf
* Olórin, his name in Valinor and in very ancient times. "Olórin was my name in my youth in the West that is forgotten". It is Quenya, and its meaning is associated with dreams (perhaps "dreamer" or "of dreams"), from the root ÓLOS-.
* Mithrandir, his Sindarin name, used in Gondor and by the Elves, meaning Grey Pilgrim.
* Gandalf Greyhame, Gandalf is his name in the North, meaning Elf with the Staff.
* Gandalf the Grey, and later Gandalf the White after he was reborn as the successor to Saruman.
* The White Rider (when mounted on the great horse Shadowfax), a reference to the Black Riders (Nazgûl)
* Stormcrow (a reference to his arrival being associated with times of trouble), often used by his detractors to mean he is a troublesome meddler in the affairs of others.
* Incánus (in the south), of unclear language and meaning. Tolkien changed his mind about it several times, varying between the Latin word incanus meaning grey, a possible Westron invention meaning Greymantle, an Elvish word Ind-cano meaning Mind Ruler, or even a form of Southron meaning "Spy of the North".
* Tharkûn (to the Dwarves), meaning probably Staff-man.
Mordor
In J. R. R. Tolkien's fictional universe of Middle-earth, Mordor is the dwelling place of Sauron, in the southeast of Middle-earth to the East of Anduin, the great river. Frodo and Sam went there to destroy the One Ring. Mordor was unique because of the three enormous mountain ridges surrounding it, from the North, from the West and from the South, that protected this land from an unexpected invasion by any of the people living in those directions.
Black Language
The Black Speech is the fictional language of Mordor in The Lord of the Rings. Sauron created the Black Speech, as an artificial language, to be the sole language of all the servants of Mordor, replacing the many different varieties of Orkish and other languages used by his servants. Tolkien describes the language as existing in two forms, the ancient "pure" forms used by Sauron himself, the Nazgûl, and the Olog-hai, and the more "debased" form used by the soldiery of the Barad-dûr at the end of the Third Age. The only example given of "pure" Black Speech is the inscription upon the One Ring:
Ash nazg durbatulûk, ash nazg gimbatul,
ash nazg thrakatulûk, agh burzum-ishi krimpatul.
When translated into English, these words form the lines:
One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them,
One Ring to bring them all, and in the darkness bind them.
These are the first two lines from the end of a verse about the Rings of Power. This corresponds to the following table.
Elsvish language
Author J. R. R. Tolkien created many languages for Elves, which eventuated in the creation of a mythology (expounded in his books), complete with races, to speak the tongues he had constructed. His interest was primarily philological, and he said his stories grew out of his languages. The languages were the first thing Tolkien created for his mythos, starting with what he originally called "Qenya", the first primitive form of elvish. This was later called Quenya (High-elven) and, along with Sindarin (Grey-elven), is one of the two most complete of Tolkien's languages. In addition to these two he also created several other (partially derived) languages.
Ringwaiths
n J. R. R. Tolkien's fantasy Middle-earth universe, the Nazgûl (from Black Speech Nazg (ring) and Gûl (wraith, spirit); Ringwraiths, sometimes written Ring-wraiths), also known as the Nine Riders or Black or Dark Riders (or simply the Nine), are evil servants of Sauron. They are first mentioned in his book The Lord of the Rings, first published in 1954–1955. The book refers to the Nazgûl as Sauron's "most terrible servants."
The rarely used Quenya name for Nazgûl is Úlairi; from this it can be conjectured that the Sindarin term is Ulaer.
They are also called "the Fell Riders", "the Nine Riders" and "the Black Wings" when appropriate, and "the Shadows", "the Nine", "the Nine Servants of the Lord of the Rings", and, by the Orcs of the Tower of Cirith Ungol, "the Shriekers".
Only a few of the Nazgûl are named or identified individually in Tolkien's works. Their leader was the Witch-king of Angmar, and his second in command was named Khamûl, 'The Black Easterling'/'The Shadow of the East'. Tolkien stated that three of them were great Númenórean lords. Khamûl was a lord of Easterlings, and was the only Nazgûl whose name is revealed to the reader. Some fans also speculate that either Herumor or Fuinur, or both, Númenóreans who rose to great power among the Haradrim, became Nazgûl, except this has been disproven since both were born well after the nine were made. Since no ring wraith is ever listed as dying, there is no way Herumor or Fuinur could have become Nazgûl.
Orc
Orc is a word used to refer to various tough and warlike humanoid creatures in various fantasy settings, particularly in the stories of Middle-earth written by J. R. R. Tolkien and derivative fictions. Orcs are commonly portrayed as misshapen humanoids with brutal, warmongering, sadistic, yet cowardly tendencies. They are variously portrayed as physically stronger or weaker than humans, but always high in numbers. They often ride wolves or wargs. Orcs usually have green skin(earning the name "Greenskins" in most games) and have faces that resemble a cross between a pig and a primate.
