Greetings and welcome to my channel were I will be talking all things fantasy. inspired by the tales of Tolkien, star wars and others I will be discussing the characters, theories and the great battles that take place throughout. if you like how that sounds them please stick around and subscribe to the channel. And if you like true crime and history then please follow my other channel Lore and Court Cases. Looking forward to you guys joining this fellowship.
Thank you for this, and using the name Imladris. You have a lovely voice. I do diamond painting and just ordered one that is the picture of Imladris as seen in Peter Jackson's LOTR. It will be 4 feet x 3 feet when it's finished.
@@onenerdtorulethem-all The late Professor Tolkien was also very nonchalant- aka blunt- about his books and not a man who wanted his works turned into an allegory of nonsense. Mr. Jackson's adaptations of LotR are awesome.
It is so refreshing to finally get a video where the narrative pronounces the names correctly. Well done. I'll watch more as you release them. Good job.
A big sad moment, the 3rd eagle that met Frodo at Mt Doom was sent to retrieve Gollum, for the hopes that he had redeemed himself rather than succumbing to the influence of the One Ring.
your audio is pretty bad, you should listen to your own video before posting them. it has a pretty bad echo to it, sounds like your mic is inside a glass jar that you are talking into
This was a great and through breakdown of this battle. I appreciate that you started out with the Canon instead of the Adaptation. Though I love the adaptation, the full Canon is so much better.
@erfelgamazig thank you. Glad you enjoyed it. Both versions are amazing. I can see why certain things were changed for cinematic effect. But both versions are really good. Thanks for the support.
So a fun fact, Legolas was only in Rivendell to inform Gandalf that Gollum had escaped captivity, thus setting in motion the elf to join the Fellowship. So what I gathered from this was the Gollum was the true MVP of Middle Earth?
@@onenerdtorulethem-all Here are some quotes from the corpus: "He [Feanor] now claimed the kingship of all the Gnomes, since Finn (4) was dead, in spite of the decree of the Gods" "But the Gnomes of Tun would not renounce the kingship of Fingolfin, and as two divided hosts therefore they set forth..." SoMe, The Quenta "He [Feanor] now claimed the kingship of all the Noldor, since Finwë was dead, and mocked the decree of the Valar." "Yet the Noldor of Tûn would not now renounce the kingship of Fingolfin; and as two divided hosts, therefore, they at length set forth upon their bitter road" LRaoW, Quenta Silmarillion "...and Fingolfin ruled the Noldor of Túna." "He [Feanor] claimed now the kingship of all the Noldor, since Finwë was dead, and he scorned the decrees of the Valar." "For though he [Feanor] had brought the assembly in a mind to depart, by no means all were of a mind to take Fëanor as king. Greater love was given to Fingolfin and his sons, and his household and the most part of the dwellers in Tirion refused to renounce him, if he would go with them." MR, Annals of Aman "After banishment of Feanor (& Finwe) Ingoldo became king, and took name of Finwe; but was known as Vinya Finwe or Ingoldo Finwe. From Ingoldofinwe > Ingolfin. [If Fingolfin is used at all this must be for Finwe·nolofinwe.]" Parma Eldalamberon 17 "*tāro king: only used of the legitimate kings of the whole tribes, as Ingwe of the Lindar, Finwë of the Noldor (and later Fingolfin and Fingon of all the exiled Gnomes). The word used of a lord or king of a specified region was aran (âr)," LR, Etymologies
I love this, im always re reading and watching to understand the battles better to help me create my dnd large scale tactics. Thank you for the video, im looking forward to back watching!
Thank you so much! I'm glad you are finding this so useful. I plan to expand on this and add more interactive maps as well to further explain the motions in each battle easier. Thanks for the support
@@onenerdtorulethem-all Animated maps like you see with some history RU-vidrs would be awesome for LOTR content! Taking book descriptions of things to animate them, of course
Where do I find more information about the early drafts of lord of the rings? It was really interesting when you mentioned that the battle of the Hornburg did not exist in earlier drafts. I've always had a sneaking suspicion that must have been the case because it seems to follow the same formula as the siege of Gondor
Hi thanks for your comment. I looked around for information a fair bit, you are 100% correct in feeling that the Hornburg and Gondor were following the same stream of thinking, systematically they are very one and the same just different locations. I looked for some info on the Tolkien Estate website and a website called Den of Geek has some cool stuff about other differences from the story we know and love today. So I would encourage you looking at those because they both have some good reads on there. Thanks again for the support!
@@onenerdtorulethem-all I'm curious what you think of Tolkien having basically the same battle happen twice? Do you think it's overly-repetitive storytelling, or is there enough differences to where it doesn't bother you? My thoughts are kind of conflicted after my latest re-read, and I'd like to hear another fan's opinion
