So if this is the West, what's north, south and east?

Maybe you can write some fanfic about it, and have a race of elves that breathe fire and shit rainbows from a distant land called WhoGivesAFuck.

Holy shit, it is NOT EVEN that far from The Shire to Mordor. Those guys were just PUSSIES.

Gorgeous, and also lolworthy for implying the Undying Lands physically exist.

Why would they not? Similar things physically existed for Fion Mac Cumhail and King Arthur.

Pretty bull map. Beleriand is not to the north of Eriador, but to the west of it. Then it sinks, and instead Númenor rises from the sea.

Yeah, but when I go to the Undying Lands what ship would bear me ever back across so wide a sea?

The North are the states that joined the Union and fought against the South. The East are the Asian countries, with the Middle-East in-between

Apparently, the reason why we know what happens to Elves after they die but not Men is because Middle-Earth is pre-Christian and Jesus hadn't been born yet. True story.

Once, I thought of starting a religious group based on the writings of Tolkien.

Y'know, the way there's some Jedi temples?

Yeah, it'd mirror the Catholic church in structure 'cause that's what Tolkien liked, except with Quenya and Sindarin instead of Latin, and we'd worship Eru Ilúvatar.

I thought it'd be a good way to get money from Tolkien fans and also become like the Tolkien-pope.
