Hmmm, my last reply really sounded like flaming, so I must apologize... i'm a
little on edge at the moment. But, let me rephrase this; It is not a Tolkien

does come from his writings, but this does not mean that it is his... only
based upon. Sorry about the flames

Do not meddle in the affairs of dragons, for you are krunchy and taste good with ketchup.
