Appendix
If your a big fan of 'The Lord of the Rings' but you haven't read the Silmarillion, do so and read the entire trilogy over again. But for those of you who do not have the time I've created an appendix to guide you through some of the names and even how I got those names. Theirs a bit of Sindarin Language that I picked up from the back of my Silmarillion and maybe if you new some of the surnames you'd understand.

Oromë was the offspring of Vána. He was the great hunter and friend of the Quendi.
Panawë is the leader of the group of remnant elves that did not follow Oromë over the River, as it's explained. I used no real naming guide to make this name up. I simply took all the elven names into consideration and came up with this. Their is no entry for wë or pana.
Morkánodel was a fun name to create. Combining the surnames mor, káno, and del I created a name of evil import. Mor means evil of course, like Morgoth. Káno means Commander or leader. And del means horror. So, putting them together, this name means something like 'Evil Commander of Horror/Terror'. He is actually the lord of the Balrogs which were the carriers of horror.
Taur-Khelek is the Frozen Forest to the north. Basically its a tundra like area where there is much timber. Taur means woods, forest; and Khelek means ice. I would have used los, which means snow, but Taur didn't fit right with it. So Taur-Khelek means 'Forest of Ice, or Icey Forest'.
Khelënen was the frozen river near Taur-Khelek. I cut the ending k off of khelek and added a ë to add color to the word. Khelë means the same as khelek, 'ice'. Nen means river, or water. So the meaning of this word is 'Ice River, or River of Ice'.
Balrogs are the demons that Melkor created during the First Age. Balrogs are dark demons of large horns and terrible wings. They wield fire whips and flame swords. They're appearance was a bit altered in Peter Jackson's movie, but they were still pretty evil looking.
Taniquetil is the mountain that Manwë, leader of the Valar sits in his mansion. Most of the Valar live here.
Melkor one of the Ainur/Valar who had the greatest power. He was strong willed to make his on things like Eru (the one God) did with him. The secret desire finally overwhelmed him and he became evil. He created dark things and destroyed much of what the Valar laboured to build. He created the Morkánodel and the Balrogs.
Quendi is another name for the elves. The Sindarin word for it, however, is edhel.
Sindarin your probably wondering, 'what the hell is Sindarin?' Well, Sindar are the grey-elves (Mithedhels) and they speak the language Sindarin from Beleriand.
Valar the Valar are also the Ainur in which the One, Eru a.k.a. Ilúvatar had created before everything else so that they could sing for him. Their singing had created a vision that Eru had shown to they. That vision was Eä, or Middle-Earth.
