THE FELLOWSHIP OF THE RING
This is a conversion of the characters of the Lord of the Rings into D&D stats, using the assumption that since Middle Earth is a relatively low-magic world, the best way to simulate it is with low-level characters.

Dwarves: As D&D Dwarves
Elves:
Noldor: As Grey elves, with half-celestial temple
Sindar: As High elves, with half-celestial template
Wood elves: As D&D elves
Men:
Rohrrim/Gondorian: As D&D humans
