"Tom Bombadil is a merry fellow -
Bright blue his jacket is, and his boots are yellow."


He's jolly, good-natured, and an excellent host - but beneath his affable exterior there is a Being of extraordinary power and wisdom. Is he Maia, one of the lesser supernatural beings sent  from the Deathless Lands to protect Middle Earth in its time of troubles? Who - and whatever he is, Tom Bombadil, whom the Quendi (Elves) name "Iarwain Ben-Adar"  is far older and more powerful than anyone can imagine.

Tom Bombadil and his companion, Goldberry the River Maiden are now part of the virtual world of Lord of The Rings: Shadows of Angmar. Weary travelers between Buckland and the Barrow-Downs will be glad to encounter his welcoming abode in the middle of the Old Forest. They will also benefit from his protection; within his forest realm, Tom Bombadil is indeed the absolute master.

Lord of The Rings: Shadows of Angmar is published by Turbine. The game has not yet been released, but beta testing will be starting soon.
