"A great writer, you haven't graced Tolkien lore on the Hobbits, until you've read a piece of Brablo's."
"I'm writing this letter to thank you for your writings about the history of the Shire."
"...his works are worth checking out if you want to read about hobbit-lore and brush up on your hobbit-history..."
"I really like the idea and found it incredibly interesting to read, well done on your part, making me halfway want to start up a hobbit myself."
"Your numerous works have kept me awake many nights with entertaining and informative reading. Furthermore, I found many of them quite useful during my time as an apprentice."
"It is indeed a great read, so thank you for sharing it with the community."
Notes
- All posted works are authored in character by Brablo, existing in Middle-earth (specifically the Shire) as physical entities. Please refer to the Chronicle Summary for more detail.
- Any information that relates to the canonical Tolkien universe is sourced from The Hobbit and the Lord of the Rings by J.R.R. Tolkien, The Complete Guide to Middle-earth by Robert Foster, various websites such as the Tolkien Gateway and the Encyclopedia of Arda. In areas where canonical sources are lacking, I have used my own inferences.
- One should note the general ignorance of the Hobbits of the Shire in regards to events of the outside world, both in the past and the present. This is reflected in the writings of Brablo, who would have limited (if any) access to records beyond the bounds.
- A big thank you to all those who have read and supported my works on the Laurelin Archives, as you truly make the effort behind writing them a pleasure!
