The Fall of Númenor Pt 28 » SA2021 » Envying the Valar (EP353 REVISITED)

In the latest episode of our epic, chapter-by-chapter Silmarillion journey, we’ll explore Chapter 11, “Of the Sun and Moon and the Hiding of Valinor.” With the hurricane of catastrophes brought on by Morgoth’s murder of the Two Trees subsiding, the dust is settling, and the Valar have some decisions to make. Chapter 11 of The Silmarillion deals with the creation of the Sun and the Moon following the disasters in the Blessed Realm, as well as the hiding of Valinor from the peoples of Beleriand and all other lands.Join us as we discuss!LINKS:Show Notes: https://www.tolkienroad.com/e0290SilmGuide Page: https://www.tolkienroad.com/silmguide/sg14/Watch This Episode: https://youtu.be/-vWPUtk5kwkWatch Ad-Free: https://www.patreon.com/posts/127524831Listen Ad-Free: https://www.patreon.com/posts/65808085Shop True Myths Press: https://truemythspress.com/Join the Fellowship of the Road: https://patreon.com/tolkienroadRead Tolkien's Requiem - Concerning Beren and Lúthien: https://tolkiensrequiem.com/Read Tolkien's Overture - Concerning the Music of the Ainur: https://tolkiensoverture.com/Read Tolkien's Tragedy - Concerning Númenor, the Rings of Power, and the Second Age: https://tolkienroad.substack.com/p/tolkiens-tragedy-pt-1Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-tolkien-road--5222755/support.

In this episode, we consider the reign of Tar-Atanamir, the 13th ruler of Númenor. Atanamir’s reign was of major consequence for the people of Númenor, as his longing for immortality began to sow the seeds of discontent, restlessness, and malice toward the Eldar,  the Valar, and ultimately Ilúvatar Himself.

In the latest episode of our epic, chapter-by-chapter Silmarillion journey, we’ll explore Chapter 10, “Of the Sindar.” In Chapter 10, the perspective shifts from the Blessed Realm to Beleriand, where it will remain for the rest of The Silmarillion. We jump back to where we left Beleriand - at the point when the Vanyar, Noldor, and Teleri all departed, leaving behind some of their brethren, who become known as the Sindar, and take the Teleri Lord Elwë as their King, and the Maia Melian as their Queen.Join us as we discuss!LINKS:Show Notes: https://www.tolkienroad.com/e0289SilmGuide Page: https://www.tolkienroad.com/silmguide/sg13/Watch This Episode: https://youtu.be/24axMxpUGekWatch Ad-Free: https://www.patreon.com/posts/127024954Listen Ad-Free: https://www.patreon.com/posts/65394995Shop True Myths Press: https://truemythspress.com/Join the Fellowship of the Road: https://patreon.com/tolkienroadRead Tolkien's Requiem - Concerning Beren and Lúthien: https://tolkiensrequiem.com/Read Tolkien's Overture - Concerning the Music of the Ainur: https://tolkiensoverture.com/Read Tolkien's Tragedy - Concerning Númenor, the Rings of Power, and the Second Age: https://tolkienroad.substack.com/p/tolkiens-tragedy-pt-1Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-tolkien-road--5222755/support.
