Tolkien's Tragedy: The New Dark Lord (The Second Millennium)

In the latest episode of our epic, chapter-by-chapter Silmarillion journey, we explore "Akallabíth", the legend of Númenor's rise and fall. With Morgoth having been defeated in the War of Wrath, the Men allied with the Elves of Beleriand are rewarded with an earthly paradise: the Island of Númenor. Yet over the course of a 3300 year history, the Númenoreans tragically discover that the soul of Man desires things that the natural world cannot provide.

Tolkien's Tragedy: Númenor & The Mind of Tolkien

In the latest episode of our epic, chapter-by-chapter Silmarillion journey, we’ll explore Chapter 22, “Of the Ruin of Doriath”
After the devastating tragedies of Chapter 21, we get…more devastating tragedies! Chapter 22 picks up with Húrin, now old and worn out by Morgoth’s tortures. Set free to wander aimlessly in the wasted regions of Beleriand, he inadvertently sets in motion a series of events that will lead to end of the kingdom of Doriath, once the hidden heart of Beleriand’s free regions.

Silmarillion Readthrough 2026 » Episode 26 » Chapter 22 » Of Túrin Turambar (EP302 REVISITED)

With this episode, the War of Sauron Upon The Elves (aka The War of the Three Rings) begins! And given the relative length of the next 3 chapters, as well as their unified theme, I decided to combine them into this one episode.
