Christopher Tolkien, son of The Professor, has passed beyond the West and the circles of the world, where there is more than memory. He was a good and faithful son, having taken part in the creation of the Legendarium (he was the cartographer), and bringing to light the background mythology of the Silmarillion, Lost Tales and the History of Middle-Earth series.

The world is a little more grey, now. This affected me more than I expected. Rest in Peace, CJRT. We hope to see you again, some day.
