LOTR Chart on XKCD

Rae Vynn · 11-05-2009, 04:43 PM

For any fans of LOTR - Tolkien, this is a truly amazing chart.

That's a pretty impressive chart. Would even be handy while reading the books just to help keep things straight.

That is pretty cool.

Mistress Rae Vynn,

A wonderful find.

Many thanks for sharing.

Rokeby,

What, you don't regularly read xkcd?

Rokeby · 11-06-2009, 05:52 AM

Stev0,

Up to this point... no.
In the future... might could be.

I feel compelled to note that the chart tracks the various LOTR
protagonists as shown in the movies, not in the books. The two
are close, but artistic liberties were taken. The difference easiest to
cite are the deaths and Sauron and Wormtongue at Isengard in the
movie. In the original version, they made their wrecthed way to
Hobbiton, preceding the Hobbits.

I would have read the books but I can't read.

Thanks for this chart and the site link. I also enjoy www.informationisbeautiful.net which presents information in pictograms.
