Version 2.6 has been proofread and edited by Veteraan.
Version 2.5.31 has been proofread by Jabberjaw. Version 2.5.2 has been proofread by ozzi.
The objective is to create gameplay enhancing panorama over Middle-earths history with emphasis on the time of the Lord of the Rings trilogy, epic lore and theTATW content, through 850 citations.
All movie quotes [but two...] is removed
Earlier I had a version containing some movie quotes but it became obsolete and thus removed.
Most quotes are from the LotR book trilogy including appendixes. All quotes from LotR have quotations refering to chapter, not book. In the rest of the cases I most often only noted which book it comes from.
Silmarillions sub book "Of the Rings of Power and the Third Age", Unfinished Tales and The Hobbit has been given generous room. QuentaSilmarillion has not been forgotten nor futher sources as Akallabęth wich I used, but also Narn i Chîn Húrin, The Book(s) of Lost Tales, The Lost Road and so on.

Re: New Quotes Submod v1.3
Wanted to stall my thank's until I now could post the last big update with this 1.3v
700 quotes is enough even for me ;) But the added quotes in it makes it still all the sweeter ^^

Re: Tolkien Quotes Submod v1.3
A minor modifikation of the quote-file posted. No new lines but some corrections :)
Renewed download of the descr_-file not needed [for those who got the 1.3 version].
I´ve already tested it and i prefer shorter quotes, because one can´t simply pause the loading screen.
And i´ll also prefer the quotes not to be altered . If you are used to the books you know what the quote is about, if not, well then you have something to think about ;)
. "They were many and fierce, but they came from over the mountains, and were unused to the woods." - Legolas about Orcs, in the Council of Elrond
or sometimes if you feel it could be better (but it can remove some seriousness or suspense):
. "The Orcs were many and fierce, but they came from over the mountains, and were unused to the woods." - Legolas, in the Council of Elrond
[ ] must be hidden, as they remove immersion somewhat: I think we must remove literary frame (ingame we're not researching in a library), that's why I added "in". Quotes should be in the more natural language (and we are confident you won't betray JRR texts).
