Palantiren
- Forodrim
- Tolkien Society in Sweden
- Palantiren website (in Swedish)
Palantiren is a publication for fairy tales, myths and fantasy, but also for SF, skrÀck (don't know where that stands for, the translation is 'fear'. Some kind of thriller or horror-stuff I guess?) and cyberpunk. For many years, Palantiren was a publication of Hirgon's guild in Forodrim. Most published material is written by members of Forodrim, but also others have contributed, and are welcome to contribute.
It appears that (at least for Nya PalantĂren) this is a fiction fanzine only (no critique, commentary, reviews, etc.)
