"And far away, as Frodo put on the Ring and claimed it for his own, even in Sammath Naur the very heart of his realm, the Power in Barad-dûr was shaken, and the Tower trembled from its foundations to its proud and bitter crown.
The Dark Lord was suddenly aware of him, and his Eye piercing all shadows looked across the plain to the door that he had made; and the magnitude of his own folly was revealed to him in a blinding flash, and all the devices of his enemies were at last laid bare.
Then his wrath blazed in consuming flame, but his fear rose like a vast black smoke to choke him. For he knew his deadly peril and the thread upon which his doom now hung.
From all his policies and webs of fear and treachery, from all his stratagems and wars his mind shook free; and throughout his realm a tremor ran, his slaves quailed, and his armies halted, and his captains suddenly steerless, bereft of will, wavered and despaired. For they were forgotten.
The whole mind and purpose of the Power that wielded them was now bent with overwhelming force upon the Mountain. At his summons, wheeling with a rending cry, in a last desperate race there flew, faster than the winds, the Nazgûl, the Ringwraiths, and with a storm of wings they hurtled southwards to Mount Doom."

"Felagund was in the hands of Thu"

"Then Thu slew his captives one by one until only Felagund  and Beren were left"
"and Luthien sang outside the dungeons and everyone was beguiled
and even Morgoth desired her"

and as all the wolves came out Huan slew them one by one
until Drauglauin the greatest of his wolves came out*

So there wasn't a particular lot of legendarium info that struck me as interesting, and I couldn't take pictures, sadly
The language tree that had all of the different languages and where they came from was interesting. Either directly derived from Valarin, or through Orome (all other Elvish languages) Aule (all Dwarven dialects) or Melkor (Orcish).
Interestingly, the languages of men seems to be related to but not directly derived from the languages of Orome, Aule, and Melkor.
I think this is all known info though.
There was a neat map that Tolkien drew that had a view from west to east, with the Misty Mountains running lengthwise across the map
and at an angle
not straight top down, but more like a 45 deg angle
I probably won't make the meeting, but figured I'd write that up.
Oh! There was also a map of proto-middle earth from I want to say like 1918? But I couldn't describe it well enough to do it justice.
Also some sigils for different people.
They were circles filled with various designs.
