Terry's request

	This isn't exactly a response to Terry's challenge for sharing 
campaign info., but I thought I'd post it since I'm not going to use it 
and it may spur ideas.
	I couldn't sleep the other night so I dug up the Silmarillion and 
came up with some notes for a SJ world.

World name:  Arda
Type:  round, flat earthworld, size F

Notes:  Arda is a discworld.  One side is simply rocky crust and has no 
atmosphere.  The other is comprised primarily of the ocean Ekkaia.  The 
ocean is prevented from spilling off the disc by a mysterious energy 
field known as the Walls of Night.  The Walls are impenetrable (even by 
magic) and extend for several miles over the surface of the world, 
creating an invisible dome.  Ships must fly in through an opening in the 
Walls at the top of the dome.
	The ocean, Ekkaia, contains two great continents, Aman and Endor.  
These continents are separated by an inner sea, the Belegaer.
	Endor has a varied landscape and is the home of elves, men, dwarves, 
halflings, and orcs, as well as many beasts and other creatures.  Magic 
is limited (standard wizards and priests almost unknown) and technology 
is limited to the equivilent of Early Middle Ages Europe, with the 
exception of metallurgy, stoneworking, and a few other crafts.
	Aman is the home of three great races of elves and their protectors, 
powerful angelic beings.  These elves are great craftsmen and potent 
warriors.

Further ideas:  The EIN has discovered this world, but is not sure how to 
treat it.  The elves of Arda have no knowledge of other worlds and are 
not spelljammer capable.  Yet they are incredibly powerful in their own 
way, much more than the Celestial elves of the EIN.

That's all I thought up.  Anyone wants to run with Tolkien, here you 
go.  I'll post some other stuff I'm working on as well.  Hopefully some 
of my ideas will inspire some people.
