Sorry, I'm a Tolkien fan and couldn't resist.
Just curious.
In Tolkien's myth Earendil is the favorite star of the elves, because it reflects the light of creation, of heaven. If you've seen the movie, Frodo's light glass (the Phial of Galadrial) contains the light of this star, and evil things can't abide it. The star is a symbol of hope for the people of Middle Earth.
The idea for both the name of the star and the term Middle Earth are derived from a scrap of an Old English poem that goes *éala éarendel engla beorhtast / ofer middangeard monnum sended.* Translated "Hail Earendel, brightest of angels, over Middle-earth to men sent"
I'm leaving a ton of stuff out for simplicity's sake. If you're still interested, look up "Earendil" on wikipedia. Tokienology is fun stuff.
I think I just got schooled.
It's safe to say I don't know a huge amount about Tolkien, but more than the layman and enough to enjoy the movies.
I do, though, appreciate you taking the time to explain this to me.
Thank you.
And it's quite an interesting sight you have. I guessed at the theme you might have going and I was right.
Still, you've got a very well put together site and the product you're making available doesn't look too bad either.
Thanks for using my work and sticking to your word and giving me credit.
Keep on truckin'!
