+# Tolkien Fan Club
+
+**I like Tolkien**. Read my [first post here](/majesty) (sorry the link doesn't work yet)
+
+> All that is gold does not glitter
+
+## Reasons I like Tolkien
+
+* You can spend years studying the legendarium and still not understand its depths
+* It can be enjoyed by children and adults alike
+* Disney *didn't ruin it*
+* It created an entirely new genre of fantasy
+
+## My favorite characters (in order)
+
+1. Gandalf
+2. Bilbo
+3. Sam
+4. Glorfindel
+5. Galadriel
+6. Elrond
+7. Thorin
+8. Sauron
+9. Aragorn
+
+Here's what `elflang` looks like (the perfect coding language):
+
+```
+func main(){
+    fmt.Println("Hello, World!")
+}
+```
