Vissy Posted April 24, 2017 Report Share Posted April 24, 2017 That's one juicy typo Mormonism is really a fringe sect of Christianity, that's why I was surprised. But yeah, Brandon being mormon probably explains it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This made me curious, so I looked up statistics and stuff about the percentage of religions in the US and found these: Spoiler But in regards to the lds church, there are roughly 16 million members world wide. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brandon, Dan Wells, Orson Scott Card...... I was at a convention listening to a professional storyteller, and before the show he was just talking with the audience and said something like "It has come to my attention that if you win at Mormon, you get your own universe to play around in, and it seems like reading/writing fantasy and scifi is a way of practicing for it." He got some wild applause there, because, well, he wasn't really wrong. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Djarskublar Posted April 26, 2017 Report Share Posted April 26, 2017 I think it's not just that Brandon is Mormon, it's that he is Mormon, and lives in Utah. That's where we are most heavily concentrated, for historical reasons. So it isn't just that he is Mormon, it's that he is local, which means he gets more word of mouth publicity between Mormon people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darkness Ascendant Posted April 27, 2017 Report Share Posted April 27, 2017 You admins are all fools. You think you are in control. You are not in control. For the One Ring belongs to my faithful pet. You are mere ring-wraiths ha! There is only one true Morgoth. And that would be me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erunion Posted April 29, 2017 Report Share Posted April 29, 2017 @Darkness Ascendant - "That was the last time in those wars that he passed the doors of his stronghold, and it is said that he took not the challenge willingly; for... alone of the Valar he knew fear. But he could not now deny the challenge before the face of his captains; for... Fingolfin named Morgoth craven.... Therefore Morgoth... issued forth clad in black armour; and he stood before the King like a tower, iron-crowned, and his vast shield, sable unblazoned, cast a shadow over him like a stormcloud. But Fingolfin gleamed beneath it as a star; for his mail was overlaid with silver, and his blue shield was set with crystals; and he drew his sword Ringil, that glittered like ice. Then Morgoth hurled aloft Grond, the Hammer of the Underworld, and swung it down like a bolt of thunder. But Fingolfin sprang aside, and Grond rent a mighty pit in the earth.... Many times Morgoth essayed to smite him, and each time Fingolfin leaped away...; and he wounded Morgoth with seven wounds, and seven times Morgoth gave a cry of anguish, whereat the hosts of Angband fell upon their faces in dismay, and the cries echoed in the Northlands." - stolen from theonering.com, and them from that book of epicness The SilmarillionAute i lome!
