Test The Lord of the Rings
Which object reflects your way of communicating?
A message must reach the ferry through fog. Eight scenes involving a request, a lost token and an error to correct: which Middle-earth object echoes your way of communicating?
PICTURE THE SCENE
From the small watch-post, you can see where a landslide has broken the upper path. A caravan waits on the rocky terrace; it needs someone who knows the lower route before it can descend. Neris writes to Rava, who runs the ferry in the valley, asking her to come before dark without promising that the ford is passable. Tavin will carry the paper. At the doorway, his lantern already looks small against all that fog.

Original fan mission: Neris, Rava, Tavin, the watch-post, caravan and events are invented. The result suggests a symbolic affinity with a canonical object, without placing it at the outpost or giving you its powers. Visual references distinguish Peter Jackson’s film adaptation 2001–2003 from Tolkien’s own illustrated calligraphic leaves from the 1940s. Stands, protective presentation and settings in the illustrations are fan reconstructions, not authenticated film props. The four objects are a selection of forms of communication, not a complete list of Middle-earth symbols.
