    Love the idea of Dad and Son bonding over nerdy legos! I'm looking at two games on display, preserved from my middle school years (Avalon Hill's Waterloo and Simulation Publication's War of the Ring) precisely because my memories playing them with my father. Enjoy the time and make those memories...

    Helm Hammerhand is probably my most favorite Character from LotR who wasn't in the 4 main books (besides a quick mention). He was truly a badass and deserved every bit of fear he instilled. Also Helm would also hunt the Dunlandings (and their allies) with a hammer occasionally.

    One of the most baffling and impressive things about Tolkien is his unbelievably detailed and vivid lore and backstory.
    To create a series of great stories, then characters, but also back story for each character and their family origin, and language, traditions, and culture is AMAZING.

    It is said that after the horn in the hornburg was sounded before the charge of king Theodin. It's sound echoed throughout the valley as if something or someone was still blowing on it. Many believed it was the wraith of Helm Hammerhand blowing his own ghostly horn.

    Superb. This is one of the best videos on this channel. Your geography-oriented method of storytelling fits perfectly with this kind of topic, more so, in my opinion, than the "Complete Travels of ..." series. I think you are at your best when you focus on geography rather than characters.

  • @NikolajsenNiklas

    You could also have mentioned, that Tolkien was inspired by place names in eastern Jutland (Denmark) where you find the small Island of Hjelm/Helm, and where the waters between the island and Jutland, is called Hjelm Dyb / Helm's Deep.

    @thedoctor755 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I did not remember that Eowyn took the women & children to Dunharrow instead of the Glittering Caves. I understand though why PJ had them all in the Caves in the movie.... made for more dramatic tension when the Uruks started breaking in. The Elves & Haldir showing up was kind of an unnecessary change, but it didn't bug me that much overall. I'm just glad they didn't go with the original idea of Arwen showing up too! Great stuff though, sir :)

    I find it funny that no Steward ever decided to become King, even when all were certain no appropriate heir remained, or would appear, yet they had the authority to make another man a king, and start the royal line of Rohan. Good thing none of the other, later Stewards felt this gift of their own territory had been a mistake, and demanded its return from the "phony king" of Rohan.

    • @Omnilatent
      @Omnilatent 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Well, they acted in the "kings behalf". They didn't have the numbers of people to fight in their northern realm and knew the Rohirrim had "the opposite" issue in the north: Too many people and too little land, so this was a win-win situation for all: Gondor got an ally, that saved them from attacks from the west, east and north and Rohan got a land to live and strive on.

    • @QuasarEE
      @QuasarEE 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      I've heard it explained that it's due largely to the Numenorean custom and law still maintained in Gondor, which is a highly conservative (in the sense of unchanging over time, not some kind of political rubbish) society. The steward proclaiming himself king would be in violation of the law, and would not be accepted by the people, and according to Numenorean custom a king needed his peoples' consent to rule.

    I know this is a super long shot, but would you mind doing a video that explains in detail Aragons claim to the throne of Gondor?
    I have already seen your video about Aragon before LOTR and your video on Isildur, but I am still a bit confused.
    I would prefer something with a family tree in the side of the video where characters are cross off a they die, so that it is clear what line remains possible candidates for the throne and what died out.
    Hope you find the idea good enough to create a video :)

    What's the song that plays everytime at the end of his videos, when he's listing the patreons?
    It's so soothing, but I don't know the name.

    To my knowledge Helm's Deep is the valley/gorge and the fortress is called The Hornburg. What is your sources to claim that the defensive system is called Helm's Deep as well?

      In the appendices (The House of Eorl) it is stated: “The Rohirrim were defeated and their land was overrun; and those who were not slain or enslaved fled to the dales of the mountains. Helm was driven back with great loss from the Crossings of Isen and took refuge in the Hornburg and the ravine behind (which was after known as Helm’s Deep). There he was besieged.”
      I suppose you could argue that this proves the fortress was named Helm’s Deep. I can see the confusion, since that is not how it is described in Chapter 7 of the Two Towers.
      I believe you are right though, and the fortress is called The Hornburg and the entirety of the fortress, valley and ravine are called Helm’s Deep.

    Can you do a short video about the Lego Ideas Project the Inn Of The Prancing Pony (and any others you find interesting), I don't know the creator my only motivation to get it to 10,000 supporters so Lego can at least know how much we want Lego Lord Of The Rings back at worse and have the set made restarting the theme at best. There have already been a bunch of Tolkien sets on it recently and I want to keep it up.

      That's a great idea! I've seen some truly great LOTR set ideas. I really liked the Middle-earth map one I saw a while back
