Profile Picture

Nargothrond (Sindarin IPA: [narˈɡoθrond]) was an underground Elven fortress and city that was delved into the banks of the river Narog in West Beleriand during the First Age. It was built and ruled by the Ñoldorin king Finrod Felagund, son of Finarfin.

The idea behind this webserver is simple — most of the web does not need to be dynamic. Many of the internet's security and privacy concerns can be remedied by people self-hosting their chat servers, websites, and other services for pocket change on a VPS.

With all due respect,

FAQs

Logo?

The logo represents a stylized smith's hammer, of hybrid Dwarven-Elvish origin, possibly gifted to Finrod along with the epithet "Felagund" by his allies the Dwarves of the Blue Mountains. It also incorporates the three ill-fated silmarils wrought into Morgoth's crown of iron that indirectly led to Finrod's demise.
