Welcome To
The One Ring
Since 1999, we’ve been a home for Tolkien enthusiasts, fans of Peter Jackson’s films, and a great resource for maps, pictures, and our exhaustive complete list of film changes.
Be sure to listen to our weekly podcast, Exploring Tolkien, with Tolkien fans and experts Jonathan Watson, Michael Grumbine, and Dan Coats! They discuss, debate, and dive deep into everything Tolkien wrote, and examine how new shows (like The Rings of Power) are treating Tolkien’s works (for good or ill).
