Middle-earth was never just fantasy.
Behind Tolkien's epic lies a racial cosmology - a hidden grammar of light and dark, north and south, pure and mixed, seen and unseen. At the same time, in modern Britain, police Identity Codes (IC1-IC7) quietly organise real people into the same categories.

This book, produced as an IC3CSI investigation, uncovers how myth and law mirror one another. From the Rohirrim to the Valar, from Gondor's noble decline to the faceless Haradrim, from the Half-elves' tragic choices to the Eye of Sauron's surveillance, Tolkien's world and the IC system reveal the same structure:
For Tolkien fans, this book offers a new way to read the legendarium. For communities living under IC codes, it exposes the myth behind the form. And for every reader, it asks the final question: Who will write the next codex?
- IC1 - The divine authors of order
- IC2 - The noble but declining heirs
- IC3 - The erased and demonised enemy
- IC4 - Colonised auxiliaries
- IC5 - Exoticised outsiders
- IC6 - Hybrids, unstable and mistrusted
- IC7 - The watchers, bodiless and unaccountable
