Forodrim

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Tolkien Society Forodrim was founded in Sweden in 1972 and is one of the oldest Tolkien fan organizations. Forodrim was founded in a public toilet during a science fiction convention (possibly SF-Kongressen 1973) as a name change of Sam J Lundwall's Hyboria. Co-founders were Jörgen Peterzén and Anders Palm (who claims he fouded it to hit on a blonde).[1]

Forodrim has an especially active group interested in Tolkienian linguistics, Mellonath Daeron.

Forodrim is Sindarin for "People of the North".
