Sudoku variants : Kropki dots, Thermometers, Palindromes, Quadruples
==== RULES ====
One Ring to rule them all : The golden One Ring is a palindrome. Its sequence of digits must read the same from both ends.
Sauron sees all : The eye of Sauron is made of a palindrome and its pupil is a (quite hot) thermo. The tower of Barad-Dûr is also made of thermos, which explains why it crumbled so easily at the end of the movie.
Fellowship rules apply : The 9 fellows of the Ring are scattered, trying to accomplish the destruction of the One Ring. Their positions are marked with white dots. Cells separated by a fellow must contain digits with a difference of 1.
It is ours, our precious : Gollum is sneakily following Frodo and Sam to take back the Ring. They took it, yes they did. Its position is marked with a black dot. Cells separated by a Gollum must contain digits with a ratio of 1:2.
Three for the Elven kings... : the 2x2 area marked with a circle in its center must contain the indicated digits.
Solution code: Digits from row 3 (from left to right) and then column 9 (from top to bottom), with no space. 18 digits total.

Fun to solve, and a fresh reminder that maybe it's time to introduce my son to the trilogy. Thanks for making it!

Nice fun one while I'm waiting for another Conway ;-P
(To be fair I still have your first one to solve, but I failed once and now I'm scared lol)
@kafkapharnaum : Haha, thanks ! It mightbe time ro release another Still Life puzzle :). I want the next one to be a real mid-difficulty one, to get some people to try it... It's not that easy to make them easy ! Also, I am moving from my appartment right now, so I don't have a lot of time to tailor puzzles... I will try to make a good Still Life for you to solve next !
