What a UC & can I have one?

"Men of the West!

 A day may come when the courage of men fails, when we forsake our friends & break all bonds of fellowship; but it is not this day.

An hour of woe, shattered shields, when the Age of Men comes crashing down; but it is not this day. This day we fight!"

I don't know (haven't read), the guy (hooded) in the center's on a throne with a wolf, a striking serpent is over his shoulder (in the background), and on the other side is a man with a helmet. I'm trying to figure out who they are; since I haven't read it yet it's difficult. On another forum it was suggested that Morgoth was in the center with Carcharoth. The other guy is Turin maybe? The snake is maybe Sauron?

Quite sure that is Morgoth/Melkor and Carcharoth (alhtough not at all how I had them depicted in my mind).  I can't think of any stories overtly that involve snakes as major plot points, but if I assume that the picture is supposed to be around that same theme, it may be representing Sauron.  During his battle with Haun, Sauron shape-shifted into various forms, one of which was a snake, before escaping as a vampiric bat (if memory serves).  I think the most questionable part about the picture is the man/orc in the upper left…  I saw it suggested in another forum (cuz I obviously have no life but to surf for Tolkien-themed forums out there… lol) that it might be Turin after getting burnt by Glaurung?  If so, I think it's horribly out of place in this particular painting, but can't honestly think of who else in the Melkor/Carhcaroth/Sauron/Huan theme would be represented by such an odd looking figure…  Beren doesn't match at all.  I could maybe think it was Hurin possibly?  He was improsined/tortured by Morgoth for 20 years, and his children figure heavily in those stories?  Just an odd, but definitely conversation-provoking, picture.

Nobody got playmats from the art suggested here did they ? Surely it would be blocked for copyright.
