I had a Star Wars question thread that was pretty popular so I decided to start one for Tolkien/Middle-earth (Hobbit, Lord of the Rings, The Silmarillion, etc.).
Ask away.
Give into your curiosity and seek my wisdom.
Edit: Let me clarify that I mean Middle-earth. Not straight up facts about Tolkien lol
Edit: Feel free to answer other people's questions and converse amongst yourselves. I'm sure that there are plenty who know more than I do here and could answer some questions better than I.
Edit 2: Please don't ask who/what Tom Bombadil is. Thank you.

Where does Talion from Shadow Of Mordor fit into the lore. Before or after the books? If during the books, then which ones? I really like the series and I got the game on PC last summer. I was just confused about the lore because I couldn't understand Orcs attacking the ranger and his family after the defeat of Sauron. Also, if elves are immortal and wise, hen why is Talion's companion in being banished from death and elf?
