Christopher Tolkien, the son of J.R.R. Tolkien, has passed away at the age of 95. Fireworks lit up Middle-Earth’s night sky last night as Lord of the Rings Online players flew kites to pay tribute to J.R.R.’s son and the guardian of his works.

“I’ve just recently heard that Christopher Tolkien has died,” tweeted Corey Olsen, a.k.a. the Tolkien Professor. “So ends the watch of a man who without question fulfilled his quest. A more faithful and diligent steward of Middle-earth no one could have asked for. We owe him a tremendous and incalculable debt.”

Our deepest condolences go out to Christopher Tolkien's bereaved family.
