An Unexpected Podcast: Talkin' Tolkien

Another Silly Silmarillion Solo venture- but this time, it's Lane battling the dimming light of his very own eyesight and the unrest of his mind (undiagnosed ADHD), as we all wait to see- can he actually navigate us through a chapter without the guidance of the Flannel Wizard? Only you will decide!
Creation. Contrivance. Corruption. Chapter Seven has it all, as Fëanor, son of Finwë, greatest Elven Smith of all time creates the Silmarils to honour the height of elvendom only to proceed in falling victim to the machinations of Melkor. At least he's not alone, right? For unrest and discord now indeed sours all Valinor.

Before the wars, before the Silmarils, before the exile… there was Eldamar.
In this episode, we step into the Blessed Realm itself — the shining lands of the Elves beneath the light of the Two Trees. But beneath the beauty, Tolkien quietly plants the seeds of one of the greatest tragedies in all of Middle-earth.

In this episode, we journey into one of the most quietly powerful chapters of The Silmarillion: Of Thingol and Melian.
This is the story where myth slows down and something rare happens — an Elf and a Maia meet beneath the stars, and Middle-earth is changed forever. But obviously we caught a whiff of some conspiracy stuff ...
