Welcome to the web page of Arthedain — The Tolkien Society of Norway.

The society was founded in Oslo in the autumn of 1981. Its purpose is to promote the interest in and knowledge about the english author J.R.R. Tolkien (1982 - 1973) and his works.

The society runs the following activities on a more or less regular basis:

• Meetings. At present there are regular meetings only in the Oslo area (mostly on the university campus at Blindern, some times in members' homes). The meeting normally consists of a sort of paper or lecture followed by discussion, tending to change into small talk, on some subject related to Tolkien's works. More purely social gatherings have been known to take place from time to time. If you want details on forthcoming meetings, you should subscribe to our mailing list. A local branch in Bergen, Mithlond, has been hibernating for some time. If you are in Bergen and would like to contribute to waking up activity, or to be kept posted on any spurs of life, please contact us.
  
  
• Journal. Angerthas, journal of Arthedain, is to be issued thrice annually. The journal contains articles, drawings, news, announcements, briefs of meetings, reviews, quizes and more. The common denominator being some sort ob connection to Tolkien's life and work. Angerthas is normally published in Norwegian, though items in English (and Swedish and Danish) are welcome and do occur. Special issues Angerthas in English have been issues three times, more on these below.
  
  
• Other member offerings include a (snall) lending library. Occasionally we have offered books, t-shirts, pins, etc. for sale.

If you would like to join us, the easiest way is just sending us money! The annual membership rate for Norway is NOK 125. For abroad, appropriate postage must be added. [Detailed rates will appear here. Until they do, please contact us for info.] The fee should be paid to
