Here are the remaining pages from the Book of Rammoth, a compilation of the histories of the Rammoth Valley and the people who dwelt there. It is in no way complete, being handed down through such times, and much of the book is now marred beyond comprehension. What remains, however, is enough to obtain insight into the ways of the Valley.

Editor's Note: Liberties have been taken with the translations, since in some cases words were smeared or illegible. The language of the Rammoth, known as Reamilya, is not fully understood due to its relative insignificance in the world at that time.

Let it be said that reading The Books of Lore is akin to reading the ancient sagas. These commentaries are meant to only provide our own thoughts on the tales to a wider audience for those that will have them. We feel honored to even be able to do so and to analyze various versions is an even greater honor and we love every step of the way. In Tolkien's posthumous publications of The History of Middle-earth, The Unfinished Tales and The Silmarillion, his son Christopher comments on the varying versions of this father's work as we do for for Chapter 4. The author of The Books of Lore and Ancanar Filmmaker, Sam Balcomb, is a young man who has many, many years before him, and to have created a work such as this in his early years is an accomplishment worthy of praise. It is with great respect for this work that we set down our thoughts of it.

Hey there--
Actually Ancanar is an independant film (http://www.ancanar.com), not based in Tolkien's world, but inspired by it-- similar to Tolkien who coined the term "sub-creation" the writer/director of Ancanar fashioned his own tales, adhering to Tolkien's rules of sub-creation and creating a believable secondary world.
The commentary that you cited from my site ;D is just the begining of what will be a published series one day of the entire world of Ancanar--a critical analysis if you will of the tales of Sam Balcomb--perhaps in the spirit of modern critical analysis of Tolkien's works, which I have published as well.
The language of Reamilya, is akin to an ancient tongue, hence my calling it as such, it is fashioned after aramaic, hebrew and sanskrit in its lettering and is spoken in similar fashions.
My fiance( and cochair of the society) and I bear reamilyan names:
Olyanë (Soul of the Hawk Sword, inspired by my personal familiar the Hawk, and the Hagakure passage cited in my forum signature)
Mallas= Falcon Feather, also inspired by our winged kin-
You can say in a fashion that we are the first "re-enactors" (I really dislike that term for what we all do) to be in the guise of Ancanar personas--
I tend to have a mixture of Norse and Japanese (odd I know) in my combat and armour styles---

Ideally when the film is finished, and we have produced companion guides to the literature and lore behind it we want to do LARP or combat scenarios fashioned after the tales.
Many thanks for the question and hope I can answer anything further ;D
