Lord of the Rings Family Tree

By Miss Cellania in Book & Literature, Film on Feb 20, 2012 at 7:00 am

Emil Johansson is busy working on a degree in chemical engineering in Sweden, but has managed to find the time to plot over 800 characters from The Lord of the Rings onto one massive family tree! The chart is interactive, so you can look up individual characters, or you can sort the tree by the type (species?) of characters. There are also some really nerdy statistics available for die-hard fans. This screenshot, just a tiny corner of the tree, may lead you to believe that families are sorted in alphabetical order, but that’s not necessarily so. Still, this family must have had a time calling the children to dinner! Link -Thanks, Emil!

    For those interested in a *TON* more information, the Encyclopedia of Arda is also a fantastic resource.

    So degrees in chemical engineering are easy to get, then?

    One would think they’d tire of all the alliteration after a while.

    “you can sort the tree by the type (species?) of characters”

    I think the word you’re looking for here is “race”. At least that’s how I remember to them being refered to in the books…
