neg: Erotic thriller An Erotic thriller is a film genre defined by a thriller with a thematic basis in illicit romance or erotic fantasy . Most erotic thrillers contain scenes of softcore sex and nudity , but the frequency and explicitness of those scenes varies .   Though similar films appeared as early as the 1960s , erotic thrillers emerged as a distinct genre in the late 1980s , bolstered by the popular success of Adrian Lyne 's Fatal Attraction in 1987 and a quickly expanding domestic and international market for softcore adult entertainment on cable television and home video . The genre had a classic period of growth and expansion in the 1990s , but by the early 2000s declined in production and popular appeal .   The potent combination of danger and romance , catering to both male and female audiences simultaneously , was the primary selling point for erotic thriller films during their classic period . The half-naked bodies displayed on posters , newspaper ads , and video box covers were accompanied by log lines that capture the unmistakable duality of the erotic thriller film :   If you think you can handle her , you 're dead wrong . -- Body Chemistry 3 : Point of Seduction  He was hired to watch . Now he 's tempted to touch . -- Night Eyes  Twin sisters cross the line into a deadly erotic fantasy land . -- Mirror Images   In all , over 300 erotic thriller films were produced in the 1990s , which is comparable to the number of thriller films made in the noir decade of the 1940s . The total number of films in the erotic thriller genre from 1985 to 2005 may number as high as over 500 . Like film noir , the genre has evolved and modernized , and new films continue to be made that are influenced by the classic style .

neg: Temporary Kings Temporary Kings is a novel by Anthony Powell , the penultimate in his twelve-volume masterpiece , A Dance to the Music of Time . It was published in 1973 and remains in print as does the rest of the sequence .   The title is a possible reference to The Golden Bough , which has a section with the same title concerning the practice in the ancient world of appointing kings for a brief period , at the end of which they would be executed .  The novel introduces a surreal element , mischievously portraying the literary world as politically corrupt and riven with dark deeds . After the passage of a decade the consequences of unyielding ambition are suggested by the storm brewing around Powell 's dark angel , Kenneth Widmerpool . Espionage and even necrophilia are hinted at .   Minor characters from earlier novels reappear and are developed to renew the theme of the Dance . The action is constructed with ingenuity to place Pamela at its centre with a succession of partners in the revels . Atmosphere and sense of place is evoked with painterly skill in the set pieces in Venice and at the concert party .

neg: A Game of Authors A Game of Authors is a thriller novel written by Frank Herbert between The Dragon in the Sea ( 1955 ) and Dune ( 1965 ) , and published posthumously in 2013 . The plot involves an American journalist who faces danger in Mexico .

neg: The Confidential Agent The Confidential Agent ( 1939 ) is a thriller novel by British author Graham Greene . Fueled by Benzedrine , Greene wrote it in six weeks . To avoid distraction , he rented a room in Bloomsbury from a landlady who lived in an apartment below him . He used that apartment in the novel ( it 's where D. hides for a day ) and had an affair with the landlady 's daughter . He wrote the book for money and was so displeased with his work that he wanted it published under a pseudonym . But critics took a far different view ; The New York Times , for example , called the novel `` a magnificent tour-de-force . ''

neg: Tourism fiction Tourism fiction is a genre of fiction that is written to generate tourism to specific areas and places . This is done by setting the fiction in real attractions and including short travel guides within the story showing readers how to visit the real places .   Tourism fiction can often be confused with literary tourism . Literary tourism refers to the tourism that naturally develops around places from famous literary works and authors , but tourism fiction refers to modern works written to specifically promote tourism .   Tourism fiction has taken advantage of modern technological advances in publishing , such as digital books with embedded web links . Digital tourism fiction novels and short story can offer readers direct web links inside the work that lead to the websites of the real attractions . This can be done on new devices like the Kindle , iPad , iPhone , desktop or laptop computers , and other smart phones and tablet devices .   The first tourism fiction novel with a fully integrated digital travel guide was Blind Fate by Patrick Brian Miller , published on Kindle in 2010 . That novel was set in Montgomery , Alabama , and offered the first tourism guide with embedded web links inside the story that led to real websites . Other tourism fiction novels are being developed that will include such travel guides in both print and digital editions .   The first classic novel to take advantage of tourism fiction technology was F. Scott Fitzgerald 's This Side of Paradise : Interactive Tourism Edition , which offered tourism guides to the original novel 's setting of Princeton University , where Fitzgerald attended in real life . The tourism edition also linked readers to the website of the F. Scott and Zelda Fitzgerald Museum in Montgomery , Alabama , where Fitzgerald fell in love with his future wife Zelda Sayre .   The first website to offer online guides with links to the real settings of modern novels was the Southeastern Literary Tourism Initiative ( SELTI ) , launched in 2009 . SELTI offered online readers tourism fiction articles with excerpts from tourism-themed novels , photos of the real places , and short travel guides with links going to the websites of the real places .   The role of tourism fiction has become more important since the start of the Great Recession and with fears of another recession soon . State and city governments are looking for ways to generate more tourism revenue to meet the needs of shrinking budgets that fund vital public programs . The SELTI project has received resource assistance , such as photos , from the United States federal government , several state governments , and many municipal governments in developing tourism profiles for fictional books set in real places .

neg: Therapy (Kellerman novel) Therapy is a mystery novel by American author Jonathan Kellerman

neg: Agents and Patients Agents and Patients is the fourth novel by the English writer Anthony Powell . It combines two of the aspects of 1930s life , film and psychoanalysis . In what Powell himself has acknowledged is a roman a clef of sorts ( Anthony Powell , Journals 1987-1989 , 121 ) , a comically critical eye is cast across entre deux guerres society and its often self-indulgent , usually unsatisfied quest for contentment .   Published in 1936 , the novel reflects some of Powell 's recent experience scriptwriting for Warners in London . The epigraph from John Wesley which gives the novel its title distinguishes between actors and those acted upon , equating freedom with the condition of ` agency . ' Powell 's fourth novel illustrates the painstaking , sometimes painful , process by which one young man recognizes the truth of Wesley 's assertion in his own life , thereby , perhaps , reaching a change in his status as the novel ends .   As is usual in Powell 's fiction , the settings are often restaurants , parties , and private apartments ( though a Berlin film studio also figures significantly ) , with social behaviour in such surroundings the sustained focus of comically critical and detailed attention . Of Powell 's pre-war novels , Agents and Patients is most insistently focused on the questions of what one wants from life and how one might recognize moments when such desires have been achieved , even when the results are unexpected . The novel continues Powell 's evolution of the style and technique he will employ in A Dance to the Music of Time .

neg: Robert Reuland Robert Charles Reuland ( born 1963 ) is an American novelist and attorney . He commenced his legal career in 1990 in the litigation department of the Wall Street law firm of Winthrop , Stimson , Putnam & Roberts and later Brown & Wood . A graduate of Cambridge University and the Vanderbilt School of Law , Reuland specialized in international law and authored several law review articles on various topics of international jurisdiction and litigation . In 1996 he left private practice to join the District Attorney 's Office in Brooklyn , New York , where he served as Senior Assistant District Attorney in the Homicide Bureau .   Since 2001 Reuland has had a parallel career as a novelist . He is the author of five novels , including a series originating with his first novel , Hollowpoint ( Random House 2001 ) , which was nominated for a Dashiell Hammett Award in 2002 , and followed by Semiautomatic ( Random House 2004 ) , and Represent '' ( 2011 ) . All three books are set in the Brooklyn D.A. 's office , where Reuland worked an assistant district attorney between 1996 and 2001 .   Influenced by Graham Greene and James Salter , Reuland 's hard-edged but elegant writing is known for its gritty realism and has drawn praise from Dennis Lehane , Alan Furst , and George Pelecanos . A reviewer for the Washington Post referred to Semiautomatic as `` the best-written legal thriller I 've ever read , hands down . '' Marilyn Stasio of the New York Times called Reuland `` a daring writer . His cityscapes are ugly to the point of insult , his characters have no hearts , and his abrasive dialogue will rub you raw . It 's an irritating voice for a new writer -- too quick and smart to toy with civilizing subtleties -- and I like it a lot . '' Of Reuland 's second novel , `` Semiautomatic , '' Kirkus , in a starred review wrote , `` Reuland is a real-life ADA , and if he prosecutes as effectively as he writes , Brooklyn is a lucky borough . ''   Following the critical success of his first two novels , Reuland wrote `` Way of the World , '' a fictionalized account of the Abner Louima affair in Brooklyn , told from the perspective of a police union representative . `` Way of the World , '' Reuland 's first novel after the completion of his two-book contract with Random House , was rejected by his publisher as too difficult and remains unpublished .   In 2006 , in something of a literary departure , Reuland completed `` The Convict Maiden , '' a sprawling historical novel set in the penal colony of New South Wales in 1827 . Written in the voice of the female protagonist , `` The Convict Maiden '' is Reuland 's first work of historical fiction and first to be set outside his home of Brooklyn , New York .   Reuland gained additional national notoriety in 2001 when fired from his position in the Brooklyn D.A. 's office shortly after the publication of his first book , Hollowpoint . In an interview with New York Magazine '' , Reuland observed that Brooklyn had `` more bodies per square inch than anyplace else , '' which angered Brooklyn District Attorney , Charles J. Hynes . Hynes demoted then fired Reuland , who brought a federal lawsuit claiming infringement of his First Amendment rights . Reuland prevailed after trial in 2004 .   Upon leaving the D.A. 's Office in 2001 , Reuland established himself in private practice specializing in state and federal criminal defense . As a member of the Homicide Panel of the Mayor 's Assigned Counsel Program , he represents indigent or poor persons accused of homicide or other serious felonies . Reuland is the first criminal defense attorney ever to successfully assert an alibi defense to a felony charge based upon his client 's use of Facebook at the time of the crime .   Born in Dallas , Texas and raised in Dubuque , Iowa , Reuland has lived in Park Slope , Brooklyn since 1990 .

neg: 25th Academy Awards The 25th Academy Awards ceremony was held on March 19 , 1953 . It took place at the RKO Pantages Theatre in Hollywood , California , and the NBC International Theatre in New York City .   It was the first Academy Awards ceremony to be televised , and the first ceremony to be held in Hollywood and New York City simultaneously . It was also the only year that the New York ceremonies were to be held in the NBC International Theatre on Columbus Circle , which was shortly thereafter demolished and replaced by the New York Coliseum convention center .   A major upset occurred in the category of Best Picture . The heavily favored High Noon lost to Cecil B. DeMille 's The Greatest Show on Earth , eventually considered among the worst films to have won the Academy Award for Best Picture . The American film magazine Premiere placed the movie on its list of the 10 worst Oscar winners and the British film magazine Empire rated it # 3 on their list of the 10 worst Oscar winners . It has the lowest spot on Rotten Tomatoes ' list of the 81 films to win Best Picture .

The Bad and the Beautiful won five awards , the most wins ever for a film not nominated for Best Picture . It was also the second Academy Awards in which a film not nominated for Best Picture received the most awards of the evening , excluding years where there were ties for the most wins . The only other film to do this was The Thief of Bagdad at the 13th Academy Awards ; as of the 87th Academy Awards , it has not happened since .   Until Spotlight won only Best Picture and Best Original Screenplay at the 88th Academy Awards , this was the last year in which the Best Picture winner won just two Oscars . It was also the second of three years to date in which two films not nominated for Best Picture received more nominations than the winner ( The Bad and the Beautiful and Hans Christian Andersen , both with six ) . This occurred again at the 79th Academy Awards .   Shirley Booth also became the last person to win an Oscar in a Leading Role to be born in the 19th century . She also holds the distinction of being the first woman in her 50s to win the award , at the age of 54 ( the second woman in her 50s to win , Julianne Moore , was 54 when awarded at the 87th Academy Awards ) .   John Ford 's fourth win for Best Director set a record for the most wins in this category that remains unmatched to this day .   For the first time since the introduction of Supporting Actor and Actress awards in 1936 , Best Picture , Best Director , and all four acting Oscars went to six different films . This has happened only three times since , at the 29th Academy Awards for 1956 , the 78th for 2005 , and the 85th for 2012 .

It may be the oldest surviving long poem in Old English and is commonly cited as one of the most important works of Old English literature . A date of composition is a matter of contention among scholars ; the only certain dating pertains to the manuscript , which was produced between 975 and 1025 . The author was an anonymous Anglo-Saxon poet , referred to by scholars as the `` Beowulf poet '' .   The poem is set in Scandinavia . Beowulf , a hero of the Geats , comes to the aid of Hrothgar , the king of the Danes , whose mead hall in Heorot has been under attack by a monster known as Grendel . After Beowulf slays him , Grendel 's mother attacks the hall and is then also defeated . Victorious , Beowulf goes home to Geatland ( Götaland in modern Sweden ) and later becomes king of the Geats . After a period of fifty years has passed , Beowulf defeats a dragon , but is fatally wounded in the battle . After his death , his attendants cremate his body and erect a tower on a headland in his memory .   The full poem survives in the manuscript known as the Nowell Codex . It has no title in the original manuscript , but has become known by the name of the story 's protagonist . In 1731 , the manuscript was badly damaged by a fire that swept through Ashburnham House in London that had a collection of medieval manuscripts assembled by Sir Robert Bruce Cotton . The Nowell Codex is currently housed in the British Library .

neg: Drogo of Hauteville Drogo of Hauteville ( c. 1010 -- 10 August 1051 ) was the second Count of Apulia and Calabria ( 1046 -- 51 ) in southern Italy . Initially he was only the leader of those Normans in the service of Prince Guaimar IV of Salerno , but after 1047 he was a territorial prince owing fealty directly to the Emperor .   Drogo was born in Normandy , a son of Tancred of Hauteville and his first wife , Muriella . Around 1035 , he arrived with his elder brother William in southern Italy . With his brother , he took part in the campaign of the Byzantine catepan George Maniaches in Sicily ( 1038 ) and then in the campaign of Guaimar IV against the Byzantines in Apulia ( 1041 ) . In 1042 , Drogo was one of the twelve Norman leaders who met at Melfi to elect his brother William their first count under Guaimar 's suzerainty . In the ensuing twelve-part division of the conquered territory in northern Apulia , Drogo received Venosa . In 1044 -- 45 , Drogo fought on behalf of his brother in Apulia . In 1045 , he seized Bovino from the Byzantines .   After William 's death in 1046 , Drogo and Peter of Trani were vied to succeed him . Having the support of Guaimar , Drogo was elected by his fellow Normans . In 1047 , Drogo married Altrude of Salerno , a Lombard princess . He reached an agreement with the Abbey of Montecassino , which intervened on his behalf to convince Guaimar to release the Norman count of Aversa , Rainulf II , whom he had imprisoned .   On 3 February 1047 , while the Emperor Henry III was visiting southern Italy , he received Drogo 's homage and invested him with all the territory which he already controlled . After this Drogo began using the title `` Duke and Master of all Italy and Count of all the Normans of Apulia and Calabria '' . Although legally , as a direct vassal of the emperor , he was on the same plane as Guaimar , according to the opinion of the historian Ferdinand Chalandon , he remained a feudal dependent of the prince of Salerno . When Drogo 's younger half-brother , Robert Guiscard , arrived in Italy before 1050 , he was ordered to leave the service of Guaimar 's rival , Prince Pandulf IV of Capua , presumably on account of Drogo 's obligations to the former . Other newly arrived Normans also gave him trouble : Richard Drengot attacked him and was captured . Only the intervention of Guaimar could secure Richard 's release late in 1047 or early in 1048 .   In 1051 , Drogo met with Pope Leo IX , when the latter visited southern Italy at the emperor 's command to re-establish the `` freedom of the church '' ( libertas ecclesiae ) . Leo forced a promise from Drogo that he would stop the Normans from pillaging . In August , as he was returning from this meeting with the pope , Drogo was assassinated at Monteilaro , near Bovino , the victim of a Byzantine conspiracy organised by the Catepan Argyrus , who was planning the reconquest of Apulia . Drogo was buried in the church of the Santissima Trinità in Venosa .   Drogo was succeeded by his younger brother Humphrey after a brief interregnum . A certain Richard , who joined the First Crusade , has been identified as Drogo 's son .

neg: Angband In J. R. R. Tolkien 's fantasy world of Middle-earth , Angband ( Sindarin for ` iron prison ' ) is the name of the fortress of Melkor , constructed before the First Age , located in the Iron Mountains in the enemy 's land Dor Daedeloth north of Beleriand .   The fortress is described in Tolkien 's The Silmarillion . It was built by Melkor ( later called Morgoth ) to guard against a possible attack from Aman by the Valar . Nonetheless , the Valars ' attack succeeded in capturing Morgoth and destroying his main stronghold Utumno .   However , while the Valar had focused on destroying Utumno utterly , Angband , though devastated , was only partially destroyed . Over time , the dark creatures in Morgoth 's service would gather in its ruined pits . After three ages of imprisonment , Morgoth returned to Middle-earth and set himself up in Angband , raising the volcanic Thangorodrim over the fortress as protection . He seldom came out of it again , but did when challenged to single combat by the Elven king Fingolfin and earlier to investigate the first appearance of Men . He reigned there until the end of the First Age , when it was destroyed in the War of Wrath . In earlier versions of Tolkien 's mythology ( see The History of Middle-earth ) it was called Angamando , the Quenya form of the name .

neg: Duma (epic) A Duma ( , plural dumy ) is a sung epic poem which originated in Ukraine during the Hetmanate Era in the sixteenth century ( possibly based on earlier Kievan epic forms ) . Historically , dumy were performed by itinerant Cossack bards called kobzari , who accompanied themselves on a kobza or a torban , but after the abolition of Hetmanate by the Empress Catherine of Russia the epic singing became the domain of blind itinerant musicians who retained the kobzar appellation and accompanied their singing by playing a bandura ( rarely a kobza ) or a relya/lira ( a Ukrainian variety of hurdy-gurdy ) .  Dumas are sung in recitative , in the so-called `` duma mode '' , a variety of the Dorian mode with raised fourth degree .   Dumy were songs built around historical events , many dealing with the military actions in some form . Embedded in these historical events were religious and moralistic elements . There are themes of the struggle of the Cossacks against enemies of different faiths or events occurring on religious feast-days . Although the narratives of the dumy mainly revolve around war - the dumy themselves do not promote courage in battle . The dumy impart a moral message in which one should conduct oneself properly in the relationships with the family , the community , and the church . However , the kobzari did not play only religious songs and dumy . They also played `` satirical songs ( sometimes openly scabrous ) ; dance melodies ; either with or without words ; lyric songs ; and historical songs '' .

neg: House of Telcontar In the fictional universe of J. R. R. Tolkien , the House of Telcontar , previously the House of Elendil , is the Royal House of the Reunited Kingdom of Arnor and Gondor . The House was founded by Aragorn II during the War of the Ring , who was the last surviving Heir of Elendil , and took the throne under the name Elessar .   The name of the House finds its origin in Quenya , one of the Elvish languages . During the War of the Ring , Peregrin Took , a companion of Aragorn 's in The Fellowship of the Ring , became a member of the elite Citadel Guard at Minas Tirith , capital of Gondor . When Lord Aragorn entered the city , Peregrin persisted in familiarly referring to Aragorn by the nickname he had garnered as a Ranger of the North : `` Strider '' , even in front of foreign dignitaries such as King Éomer of Rohan . Aragorn was amused , and decided that the name of the lineage he founded would be `` Telcontar '' , which translates as `` Strider '' in Quenya . Members of the House of Telcontar are referred to as the `` Telcóntari '' ( Striders ) , the plural of Telcontar in Quenya .   Aragorn then took the royal name `` Elessar '' ( translated as Elfstone in Quenya ) .   With Queen Arwen , King Elessar reigned for 120 years , before finally surrendering his life . This long reign is attributed to Elessar 's descent from the Men of Númenor , who are blessed with long life ( he was 88 when he took the throne ) . He rebuilt the old capital Annúminas in Arnor and later ruled from this northern capital , although the old capital Minas Tirith was still of great political importance .   Elessar had one known son , Eldarion , and an unspecified number of daughters . King Elessar was buried with great honour in Minas Tirith . King Eldarion ( his name meaning `` from the Elves '' in reference to his mother Arwen ) was `` full ripe for kingship '' at the time , and ruled for an unspecified amount of time well into the Fourth Age of Men . Little is known of Eldarion , save that he left heirs to continue the House of Telcontar after him .

Iago took Ieuaf prisoner in 969 and ruled another decade , with a brief hiatus in 974 before Ieuaf 's son Hywel usurped him in 979 . There appears to be no surviving record of Iago 's fate .

neg: Glorantha Glorantha is a fantasy world created by Greg Stafford . It was first introduced in the board game White Bear and Red Moon ( 1975 ) by Chaosium , and thereafter in a number of other board , roleplaying and computer games , including RuneQuest and HeroQuest , as well as several works of fiction and the computer strategy game King of Dragon Pass . The Gloranthan world is characterised by its complex use of mythology , heavily influenced by the universalist approaches of Joseph Campbell and Mircea Eliade , its Howardian ethos , its long and distinctive history as a setting for role-playing games , its community development and expansion , and ( unusual among early American fantasy role-playing games ) its relative lack of Tolkienesque influence .   Stafford began imagining Glorantha in 1966 as a way to deepen his own understanding of mythology . He founded the company Chaosium to publish the board wargame White Bear and Red Moon in 1974 ( other sources say 1975 ) , which was set in Glorantha . Chaosium later published other games in the setting , including the critically acclaimed RuneQuest . Various later editions of RuneQuest , the narrative role-playing game HeroQuest ( the first edition of which was published as Hero Wars ) , and the video game King of Dragon Pass were also set in Glorantha , as were several prominent fan efforts . Stafford has also explored the Gloranthan setting in the fantasy novel King of Sartar and a number of unfinished works published under the collective name of `` the Stafford Library '' .   In Glorantha , magic operates from the everyday level of prayers and charms to the creation and maintenance of the world . Heroes make their way in the world , and may also venture into metaphysical realms to gain knowledge and power , at the risk of body and soul . In the more recent material competing magical outlooks , such as theism , shamanism and mysticism , exist to explain the world . Within each metaphysical system , adherents may also compete - such as when theistic worshipers of rival gods battle each other . The world is flat , with a dome-like sky , and it has been shaped in large and small ways by the mythic actions of the gods . The ` historical ' world of Glorantha is in a more or less fallen state , having recovered only partially from a universal battle against Chaos in the mythic Godtime .   Humans are the dominant race , but other sentient beings abound . Some , such as the mystic dragonewts , are unique to Glorantha . Familiar nonhuman races , such as elves and dwarves , are distinct from their common , Tolkienesque portrayals .

neg: Draconian (Doctor Who) The Draconians are an extraterrestrial race . They were featured in the British science fiction television series Doctor Who . Their only television appearance to date was in the 1973 serial Frontier in Space . Unlike many `` monster '' races in Doctor Who , the Draconians were articulate and portrayed as having a sophisticated and advanced culture like feudal Japan . In later interviews , Jon Pertwee cited the Draconians as his favourite of all the monsters he had encountered during his time as the Doctor .   The Draconian Empire was a vast spacefaring feudal civilisation of reptilian humanoids , centered on the planet Draconia , with a society stratifed along class and gender lines ( for example , females were not permitted to speak in the presence of the Emperor ) that was bound by a strong code of honour . The Draconian Empire dated back to at least the 21st century , when a space plague that afflicted their world was dealt with by the Doctor . For his services , the 15th Emperor made the Doctor a noble of Draconia .   The Earth Empire 's first contact with the Draconian Empire was in the year 2520 . The ship sent by the Draconians for the peace mission was a battlecruiser , as befitted a noble of Draconia , although ( as agreed ) its missile banks were empty and it was otherwise unarmed . However , both Draconian and Earth ships were caught in a neutron storm , damaging the Earth ship and destroying the Draconian ship 's communications systems . As a result , the Draconian ship was unable to respond to the Earth ship 's signals . The commander of the Earth ship saw what he perceived to be a battlecruiser bearing down on his crippled vessel and gave the order to attack , destroying the battlecruiser and triggering off a brief but bloody war in which millions of lives were lost . An uneasy peace was negotiated in the end , leading to two decades of cold war and the carving out of a frontier between the two empires .   In 2540 , several incidents involving attacks on cargo freighters along their respective borders nearly led to the war turning hot once more , with both sides accusing the other of piracy and violating the frontier . These attacks turned out to be the work of Ogron mercenaries under the orders of the renegade Time Lord known as the Master , who was using a sonic hypnosis device to make the Earth crews see the Ogrons as Draconians and vice versa . The Master had allied himself with the Daleks , who were launching another bid for galactic conquest and hoped to pick up the pieces after a new Earth-Draconia War . The plot was revealed by the Third Doctor , and instead of going to war against each other , the two empires united against the Daleks .

neg: Rhûn In the fictional world of Middle-earth created by J. R. R. Tolkien , Rhûn ( -LSB- r̥uːːn -RSB- ) was a large region of eastern Middle-earth . Rhûn ( which is also the Elvish word for `` east '' ) was the name used for all lands lying east of Wilderland , around and beyond the inland Sea of Rhûn , from where came many attacks on Gondor and its allies during the Third Age of Middle-earth .

neg: List of kings of Ulster The King of Ulster ( Old Irish : rí Ulad , modern Irish : rí Uladh ) also known as the King of Ulaid and King of the Ulaid , refers to the kings of the Irish provincial over-kingdom of Ulaid . The title rí in Chóicid , which means `` king of the Fifth '' , was also sometimes used .   Originally referring to the rulers of the Ulaid of legend and the vastly reduced territory of the historical Ulaid , the title rí Ulad ceased to exist after the Norman invasion of Ulaid in 1177 and the subsequent foundation of the Earldom of Ulster . The Mac Dúinnshléibe dynasty of Ulaid , however , were given the title of rex Hibernicorum Ulidiae , meaning `` king of the Irish of Ulaid '' , until the extinction of their dynasty by the end of the 13th century .   After the earldoms collapse in 1333 the title was resurrected and usurped after 1364 by the Ulaid 's chief Gaelic rivals the Northern Uí Néill who had overrun the ruins of the earldom . The Northern Uí Néill had achieved dominance over the north of Ireland , their territory corresponding largely to the modern day province of Ulster . The title thus came to apply to their territory , which they likewise renamed Ulaid , now reflecting an area roughly corresponding to the extent of Ulaid in legend .

neg: Khotogoid Khotogoid ( Mongolian : Хотгойд , transliteration : Khotgoid ) is a subgroup of Mongol people in northwestern Mongolia . The Khotogoid people live roughly between Uvs Lake to the west and the Delgermörön river to the east . The Khotogoids belong to north western Khalkha and were one of the major groups that make up Khalkha .   The best known ruler of Khotogoids probably was Ubashi Huang Taizi also known as Altan Khan of Khotogoid ( not to be confused with Altan Khan of Tumed ) who was successful in subjecting Yenisei Kirghiz and pushing Oirats out of their domains in western Mongolia .  The northern border of the Khotgoid Khanate reached modern Russian Krasnoyarsk city and the southern border reached the eastern Altay Mountains of Mongolia in the 17th century . The Khotogoid Khanate was not an independent state and its ruler was subject to Zasagt khan aimag of Khalkha .   In mid 17th century , because of the conflicts with neighboring Zasagtu Khan , the Khotogoids disintegrated and ceased to exist as a separate political unit . As a result , Khotogoids were frequently invaded by both other Khalkhas and Oirats .   The Khotogoids moved into the area in the 16th century . In 1694 , they were organized into the Zasaghtu Khan aimag 's Erdeni Degüregchi Wang khoshuu . After Chingünjav 's rebellion in 1756-57 , this khoshuu was split up into five smaller entities : Erdeni Degüregchi Wang khoshuu , Akhai Beise khoshuu , Mergen Gong khoshuu , Dalai Gong khoshuu , and Tsogtoo Wang khoshuu .   Chingünjav ( mentioned above ) is probably another well known Khotogoid besides Ubasji Huang Taizi .

neg: Angmar Angmar ( Sindarin : ` Iron-home ' ; pronounced -LSB- - artˈaŋmar -RSB- ) is a fictional kingdom in J. R. R. Tolkien 's continent of Middle-earth , at the north end of the Misty Mountains . It was used by the Lord of the Ringwraiths as a base from which to attack the kingdoms of the Dúnedain in the North , all of which were eventually destroyed . Angmar itself was subsequently destroyed by combined armies of men and elves shortly thereafter .

neg: Maelienydd Maelienydd , sometimes spelt Maeliennydd , was a cantref and lordship in east central Wales covering the area from the River Teme to Radnor Forest and the area around Llandrindod Wells . The area , which is mainly upland , is now in Powys . During the Middle Ages it was part of the region known as Rhwng Gwy a Hafren , or `` Between the Wye and the Severn '' .   Originally an independent kingdom , Maelienydd became an area of great strategic importance after the Norman conquest of England , due to its position . It appears to have come under Norman control before 1093 , but during the 12th century became a battleground between the Welsh Princes of the area , notably Cadwallon ap Madog ap Idnerth ab Elystan Glodrydd , and the Mortimer family . In 1179 Prince Cadwallon was killed by the retainers of Roger Mortimer when he was returning from the court of king Henry II of England . Mortimer was imprisoned by the king for this and Maelienydd was inherited by Cadwallon 's son , Maelgwn ap Cadwallon , not to be confused in any way with Maelgwn Gwynedd , who lived centuries before . On Roger Mortimer 's release from prison he seized much of the lordship , though Maelgwn was later able to recover it with the help of Rhys ap Gruffydd of Deheubarth . In March 1188 , Gerald of Wales records the visit to Maelgwn 's castle of Crug Eryr , during Gerald 's journey through Wales with the Archbishop of Canterbury , who was raising an army for the crusades ; Maelgwn ` took the cross ' just as his cousin Einion o ' r Porth , Prince of Elfael had done at Radnor Castle just a few days earlier , along with Einion 's father in law , Rhys ap Gruffudd ( `` The Lord Rhys '' ) , Prince of Deheubarth . After Rhys ' death the Mortimers again took possession .   The struggle for the rule of Maelienydd continued during the 13th century , involving the kings of England and Llywelyn the Great and Llywelyn ap Gruffudd of Gwynedd . A number of castles were built here , notably Cefnllys Castle and Cymaron Castle . One of the main versions of Welsh law , the Cyfnerth Redaction , is thought to originate from Maelienydd when it was in the sphere of influence of Rhys ap Gruffudd in the second half of the 12th century .   Maelienydd was one of the cantrefs brought together to form Radnorshire . The name survives for the general area .
