This article outlines the context for the creation of J. R. R. Tolkien's legendarium, through exemplifications of language, mythological characters, and the way they interrelate in the works about Middle-Earth. Language enables the construction of the foundations of Tolkien's ideology, to which the mythological characters that make up the universe created by this author are added. This universe is most visibly shown in the works of The Lord of the Rings and The Silmarilion. The article begins with a brief biography of Tolkien, in addition to the publication chronology of his works, which complement each other. Tolkien's way of narrating provides the basis for the total construction of a new world sustained by its characters and their language.
