In the Middle Ages, an english mariner by the name of Eriol Ælfwine travelled West and somehow made it to a fair place of magic known by many names. Some called it Elysium and Eriol’s people called it Avalon. However, it was called Tol Eressëa by its own inhabitants.
There, Eriol learned much of the history of the world, of its making, of the gods, of the races of elves and men, and much more.
Upon his return to England, he wrote down all that he saw and that he heard, but it passed out of knowledge… until it was chanced upon by a young Oxford student, John Ronald Reuel Tolkien, who translated the scrolls into what many now know as The Lord of The Rings and other tales.
