Next month Magic: The Gathering heads to Middle-earth for an all-new set based on the world of The Lord of Rings. While we’d previously gotten hits at some of the new artwork coming in the set, lead art director Ovidio Cartagena has now lifted the lid on even more of Tales From Middle-earth’s glorious new art.

Created in collaboration with Middle-earth Enterprises, the new artwork for Tales From Middle-earth was commissioned over the course of three years while the set was in development.

Some interesting standouts include Rohan and the Rohirrim as red aggro attackers, a special rule that allows nine Nazghûl cards to appear in a single deck, and a ton of green/white synergy with Aragorn and Gondor-themed cards. Across all the cards is a new mechanic—temptation. Befitting its duplicitous nature, the Ring of Power can tempt a creature card and an emblem will be put into play; that creature will become the Ring-Bearer. Each time the temptation activities, the Ring emblem, much like a saga in current Magic rules terminology, will continue to activate new abilities.

There’s also a massive 18-card interconnected scene where, if you line up all the cards, they depict a single image. Taylor Jacobson illustrated the Battle of Pelennor Fields, the last great battle for freedom in Middle-Earth as the forces of Rohan rode to the aid of Minas Tirith’s besieged forces. You can see the full art included in this the slideshow. Additionally, there will be a Secret Lair drop alongside the Magic: The Gathering, Universes Beyond: The Lord of the Rings: Tales of Middle-Earth set. Yes. That is the full name of this set.

Click through to see the new cards revealed from the Lord of the Rings set from Magic: The Gathering, ahead of its full release on June 23.

They are really pulling out all the stops on this one. It’s the perfect set to do it—a fan favorite with a rich lore and with strong ties to the fanbase. Sure, it’s fanservice to the max, but it’s pretty, and surely we’ve all forgotten about the unpleasantness last month, right?

The full set will release June 23.

A misspelled memorial to the Brontë sisters gets its dots back at last

Published

 on

 

LONDON (AP) — With a few daubs of a paintbrush, the Brontë sisters have got their dots back.

More than eight decades after it was installed, a memorial to the three 19th-century sibling novelists in London’s Westminster Abbey was amended Thursday to restore the diaereses – the two dots over the e in their surname.

The dots — which indicate that the name is pronounced “brontay” rather than “bront” — were omitted when the stone tablet commemorating Charlotte, Emily and Anne was erected in the abbey’s Poets’ Corner in October 1939, just after the outbreak of World War II.

They were restored after Brontë historian Sharon Wright, editor of the Brontë Society Gazette, raised the issue with Dean of Westminster David Hoyle. The abbey asked its stonemason to tap in the dots and its conservator to paint them.

“There’s no paper record for anyone complaining about this or mentioning this, so I just wanted to put it right, really,” Wright said. “These three Yorkshire women deserve their place here, but they also deserve to have their name spelled correctly.”

It’s believed the writers’ Irish father Patrick changed the spelling of his surname from Brunty or Prunty when he went to university in England.

Raised on the wild Yorkshire moors, all three sisters died before they were 40, leaving enduring novels including Charlotte’s “Jane Eyre,” Emily’s “Wuthering Heights” and Anne’s “The Tenant of Wildfell Hall.”

Rebecca Yorke, director of the Brontë Society, welcomed the restoration.

“As the Brontës and their work are loved and respected all over the world, it’s entirely appropriate that their name is spelled correctly on their memorial,” she said.
