So (according to the concept art book) as the Fellowship travels deeper into Middle Earth, the places they pass through become inspired by progressively older periods of history. The farther along you are in the story, the more ancient the design influences
We begin in The Shire: which feels so familiar because, with its tea-kettles and cozy fireplaces, it’s inspired by the relatively recent era of rural England in the 1800s
But when we leave Hobbiton, we also leave that familiar 1800s-England aesthetic behind and start going farther back in time.
Bree is based on late 1600s English architecture
Rohan is even farther back, based on old anglo-saxon era architecture (400s-700s? ce)
Gondor is way back, and no longer the familiar English or Anglo-Saxon: its design comes from classical Greek and Roman architecture
And far far FAR back is Mordor. It’s a land of tents and huts: prehistoric, primitive, primeval. Cavemen times
And the heart of Mordor is a barren lifeless hellscape of volcanic rock…like a relic from the ages when the world was still being formed, and life didn’t yet exist
And then they finally reach Mount Doom, which one artist described as
“where the ring was made, which represents, in a sense, the moment of creation itself”
“Seducing them is easy- red lips and bedroom eyes-making them believe they have the power, illusions. Lust is easy… but love, love can’t be faked, love is either real or not at all.”
Authors Note: I changed it up a bit slightly but it has the same plot!

All you wanted to do was go home, get into your pajamas and eat a crap ton of junk food. Today wasn’t your day. You thought you slept through all your alarms when really you didn’t turn them on which caused you to be late for school, your biology teacher had a go at you for not doing last night’s homework and you left majority of your textbooks at home.
Walking into the the elevator of your apartment building, you reached forward to press your floor level when suddenly,
“Wait hold the door!” The deep yet soft mysterious voice called out from down the hall, you immediately pressed the hold button and saw a tall dark head rush in.
