Wizards and Warriors animated fantasy documentary lore video series on the world of Middle-Earth - Lord of the Rings continues with the second video on the First Age. Previously we discussed the creation of the world of Tolkien, its powers and races and we see how and why the Elves became the enemies of the Dark Lord Melkor, who they called Morgoth, after their leader Fëanor cursed him for killing his father Finwë and stealing his prized possession - Silmarils. In this episode we see how the evil first rose in the world of Arda and will talk about Ungoliant and other evils, about the Valar and Maiar, about the Elves and their sub-groups - Vanyar, Ñoldor, Teleri, and Avari ( • Beginning of the Age -... ), while this video will show the continuation of the events. In Middle-Earth, Morgoth attacks the Teleri Elves in Doriath under Thingol and his allies Cirdan and Denethor starting the War of the Jewels with the First Battle of the Beleriand. Meanwhile, in the Valinor, the Noldor Elves of Feanor attack their Teleri relatives in the First Kinslaying in order to take their ships. Afterwards, Feanor and his sons travel to the Middle-Earth in order to fight Morgoth and take the Silmarils, leading to the battles of Dagor-nuin-Giliath and Lammoth and the death of Feanor ( • Feanor Strikes Back - ... ). The third episode episode showed the aftermath of the death of Feanor, as the Noldor kingdoms rise in the Middle-Earth taking on Morgoth once again, this time at the battle of Dagor Aglareb, where Feanor's sons Fingolfin and Maedhros, and others fought against the Dark Lord and we also talked about the rise of the humans - the House of Edain ( • Dagor Aglareb - Noldor... ). The fourth episode will describe the battle of Dagor Bragollach and the rise of the father of Dragons Glaurung ( • Dagor Bragollach - Ris... ). In the aftermath of the defeat at the hands of Morgoth, the Elves and Men were on the back foot and the evil spread in the Middle-Earth, but from those dark days, an unlikely pair rose to challenge the darkness - Beren and Lúthien.

Meh 😑
Do history of Ohio next
@@ap6480 Hawthorne Heights happened then Toledo existed. That's all of it
I'll definitely consider this over a HK Scottish novelty
You say that your doing Sci-Fi and yet you haven't done a single Sci-Fi video in quite awhile. What's keeping you Wizards and Warriors?
Hey guys Frank Ó'hÁinle the scriptwriter here again. I just wanted to thank you all for your continued support of our retelling of the events of the first age of Tolkien's work, the response has been fantastic so far.
Above all else though I really hope you enjoy this two part series on Beren and Luthien. It is my joint favorite tale (alongside the children of Hurin of course) in all of Tolkien's work and I sincerely hope you enjoy watching these videos, as much as I have enjoyed working as part of the team to put them together for you all.

Great Frank 👍
Thanks to you man.
Keep em coming ☘️
Eww
I hope the people of Amazon could see this series and learn how to properly adapt Tolkien's work.
Facts
On the condition of staying true to the source Material.
They have aldready destroyed the lore, they have no chance to repent!
I wouldn't hold my breath. I'd rather continue to trust Frank Ó'hÁinle for quality content, and ditch Amazon entirely
Keep hoping
Here is a letter that J.R.R Tolkien wrote to his son Christopher shortly after the death of his wife Edith:
I never called Edith Lúthien - but she was the source of the story that in time became the chief pan of the Silmarillion. It was first conceived in a small woodland glade filled with hemlocks at Roos in Yorkshire (where I was for a brief time in command of an outpost of the Humber Garrison in 1917, and she was able to live with me for a while).
In those days her hair was raven, her skin clear, her eyes brighter than you have seen them, and she could sing - and dance. But the story has gone crooked, & I am left, and I cannot plead before the inexorable Mandos.
I will say no more now. But I should like ere long to have a long talk with you. For if as seems probable I shall never write any ordered biography - it is against my nature, which expresses itself about things deepest felt in tales and myths - someone close in heart to me should know something about things that records do not record:
the dreadful sufferings of our childhoods, from which we rescued one another, but could not wholly heal the wounds that later often proved disabling; the sufferings that we endured after our love began - all of which (over and above our personal weaknesses) might help to make pardonable, or understandable, the lapses and darknesses which at times marred our lives - and to explain how these never touched our depths nor dimmed our memories of our youthful love.
For ever (especially when alone) we still met in the woodland glade, and went hand in hand many times to escape the shadow of imminent death before our last parting.
That is amazing.
@@mr.s2005 They do, there's even an image of the tombstone on Tolkiens Wikipedia page.
Oh man that hits the spot 😭😭
What I like on Sauron was not only that he had a (cruel) sense of humor, but he was much less than Morgoth after destruction for destruction sake. He wanted to forge the world, not just destroy out of anger that something was denied to him. I think that is a much better motivation for a dark lord.
If I remember right than in The Two Towers it is speculated that Beren met on his escape towards Doriath Shelob (and I guess that was a unpleasent surprise for him). So the spider was among the few beings at the end of the Third Age who still remembered the events in the story of Beren and Luthien in person.
One of the key differences between Morgoth and Sauron; Morgoth representing chaos hated everything and wanted to break it. While Sauron represented despotic order.
I think people sometimes forget that Sauron was originally a Maia of Aule and a powerful one at that before he turned to Morgoth
I'm ready to see Huan and Luthien facing against the werewolves and Sauron. Huan is 1 of the greatest hound and hunter from Valinor.
Best boi.
Luthian: Hey Sauron.
Sauron: What?
Luthian: That's a pretty nice fortress you got there.
Sauron: What's it to you?
Luthian: ...It'd be a shame if someone were to...do something to it.
Now, do Isildur next, mate.
You know that Luthien literally sh*t herself and fainted in fear and terror when the wolf-Sauron came forth. lol
The Lay of Leithian book mentioned that even Luthien's eyes were darkened with fear
When your GF is an immortal elf-Maia princess and you’re just an average joe you know you’re doing something right.
True, he is taking his serious task, its like winning his love for her. True love. No wonder his descendant Aragorn did the same to Arwen. Like great great great great grandfather and great great great great grandson.
Seems Illuvatar has his favourites XD
Well, but the story also had really, REALLY nasty consequences for both of them, and Luthiens father, and Finrod, and...
@@casper2694 Yeah by seeing his 2 creations as part of his plan that which the Valar didn't know.
Calling Beren an average joe is pretty unfair though. The man had turned into a one-man army out of sheer desperation, and had the bounty of an elf-lord on his head. Not to mention he made it through the Ered Gorgoroth while still retaining his sanity.
There's only 3 times in Tolkien's works that an Eldar marries the Edain, Beren and Lúthien, Idril and Tuor; Arwen and Aragorn.
What about Elwing/Earendil?
@@killgriffinnow Earendil had some elvish blood so he had a choice whether to be elf or man. He was the father of Elrond and Elros, they got the name Halfelven because of Earendil's half elf blood. Elros chose to be a man and became the first kind of Numenor.
There was another in Gondor, I can not remember there names now but Prince Imarahil (not sure of the spelling) was from that line and Legolas recognized him as having elvish blood when they met in Minas Tiriith.
@@lnwolf7563 yes, an elven maid named Mithrellas married Imrazor the Numenorean, from whose line Prince Imrahil is descended.
@@lnwolf7563 There are conflicting version who that was. A unlikely version was that one of them married Nimrodel of Lorien, but the more likely version is that Imrazor, the Numenorian found one of her maids, Mithrellas. She was among those who fled in 1980 TA when the darkness in Moria grow together with Nimrodel. Mithrellas lived with him for some time and they had a son (Galador) and a daughter (Gilmith), but later she left him without warning one night and he never saw her again.
Of course she was a Wood Elf, not a High Elf.
The story could be found in Unfinished Tales of Numenor and Middle-earth in the story of Galadriel and Celeborn and from Amroth, King of Lorien.
Thingol fell for one of the classic blunders. Never underestimate how far a man will go in a quest to get the girl he loves
Which is kinda funny because the very thing he asked for Beren to bring just to get him off his little girl caused his misfortunate death many years later 😅
The Love of Beren and Luthien saved The Middle Earth
This is my wife and I’s favorite story for I found my Luthien as she found her Beren. Luthien was the most precious gift to middle earth ever.
Not only that she is the most beautiful and the fairest with a graceful voice in Arda history. She sang like the Ainur. Thats what they called her, "The Lady of Twilight"....
Sauron VS Finrod: Epic Rap Battle of History before it was cool.
One of the greatest tales in all high fantasy .
Finrod gave up his crown to go on a suicide mission with the son of the man he owed a debt to? What a bro
I love how Morgoth wears the silmarils on his head despite them burning his flesh, pain is temporary, but drip is eternal
Beren and Luthien.. my favourite story in the whole legendarium.
I was reading Beren & Luthien and I stopped in the moment which Rhuan found Thinuviel. Then I opened YT and this video was recommended... Sometimes, I think that my phone is spying me (lol)..
Who would win, an immortal shapeshifting sorcerer of godlike powers or one good boy?
These are some of my favorite videos! Hope you go through all 3 ages up to the War of the Ring!
They kind of already did that, unless you mean in more detail?
@@richardthomas9497 Up to right before the War of the Ring is what I meant.
I'd rather watch these videos over the Amazon version any time.
I wonder how mad Sauron is after this venture ended in total failure? If his superior found out, I think he needed to run to keep his head on his body.
He apparently went and hid in a forest called Taur-Nu-Fuin ('Forest under the Night'), and didnt return back to to Angband for a while.
@@Xevos701 But it seems Morgoth did not punish him (or at least so far I know). Maybe because he wanted to forget the whole thing (since he made not a good figure in it either).
@@Xevos701 No, nowhere in the book it is mentioned that he "hid" from Morgoth or something like that. In Tolkien's the Lay of Leithian book, we have been told that Sauron went to Taur-na-Fuin *to establish a new throne and a darker stronghold. And he used to send messengers from his mansions in Taur-na-Fuin to Angband/Morgoth very oftenly.* Even Morgoth himself approved that when Luthien introduced herself as 'Thuringwethil' to Morgoth. Later, Morgoth catched her lie and told he(Sauron) had already send messengers and tidings recently.
Morgoth probably didn't even punished Sauron for this because when disguised Luthien told Melkor that she brought new tidings from Sauron's mansions in Taur-na-Fuin, Morgoth said Sauron already sent tidings very recently and he suspected that Luthien was a spy. So as we see that there was no problem between Sauron and Morgoth after the events of Tol-Sirion. Also the Silmarillion says after the War of Wrath; *in him(Sauron), the bonds of Morgoth were very strong.*
Tolkien pouring so much of himself into this story and immortalizing his love for his wife in the world of Middle Earth has always been so touching to me. Great rendition.
These are some of my favorite lotr videos keep up the good work
Meilin: Hold the up you know you do realize that having that kid get you that fancy jewel will get us all in trouble with Feanor's kids right?
Thingol: Come on honey its not like he would succeed that would indirectly led to the misfortunate downfall of our turf am I right?
( Later in Valinor )
Meilin: Well? 😑
Thingol: IT WAS THE DWARVES HONEY! THE FOCKIN DWARVES! 🤬
I don't think Thingol was even released from the Halls of Mandos. He was a kinda evil arrogant elf. Only the good-hearted elves, such as Finrod had right to 'reincarnate' into a new body after their death in the undying lands.
Also we should keep in mind that Thingol is responsible for the genocide of the small dwarven race in Beleriand. Thingol's warriors literally hunted that Dwarven race like they were animals, throughout ages...
@@_semih_ The Petty-dwarves (whom the Sindar thought some sort of animal) initiated the hostilities and when the Sindar were informed that they were Incarnates, they stopped hunting them:
"The Eldar did not at first recognize these as Incarnates, for they seldom caught sight of them in clear light. They only became aware of their existence indeed when they attacked the Eldar by stealth at night, or if they caught them alone in wild places. The Eldar therefore thought that they were a kind of cunning two-legged animals living in caves, and they called them Levain tad-dail, or simply Tad-dail, and they hunted them. But after the Eldar had made the acquaintance of the Naugrim, the Tad-dail were recognized as a variety of Dwarves and were left alone."
WotJ, Q&E, Elvish names for Dwarves
Beren is an absolute chad.
I love how the only one with nickname was poor gorlim
No. His nickname was "Gorlim the Unhappy"
Wow! Everybody's favourite Tolkien tale. Can't wait to sit back and enjoy this one ☕☺️
The beginning of one of my favorite stories! Thank you for a great video!
A fool's hope. Sometimes that is all that is needed.
First, Beren and Luthien; then, Gil-Galad, Elendil, and Isildur; lastly, the Fellowship and the Grey Company.
Sauron will never learn.
The biggest mystery of the Silmarillion is whether Orodreth was Finrod’s brother or nephew.
They both were the Sons of Finarfin, probably just an oversight in the video
Edit: apparently there is another version that has Orodreth as the son of Angrod (didn't know that, whoops).
Oh my godddd!!! I was never sure if you were going to do this bit or not. Thank you ! Thank you !!!
Amazing as always!!! Thank you guys!
Love it. Thank you for the Silmarillion series.
I can finally educate my wife
I love this channel
This series really some of your finest work. Great artwork and a great re-telling. Can't wait for the conclusion to this.
a wonderful series by you guys tyvm!😊
This series is amazing
Keep up the good work
One spoiler for next episode: Sauron is gonna lose to a flipping dog. Admittedly, the most powerful and intelligent dog to ever exist, but still.
Why didn’t they use the dog earlier!
And a half-goddess, don't forget. Huan was so terrified that he even step back for a moment, and that mean something. So it was really close I would say. And it was said that only the greatest of all wolves could kill Huan, so I think it is not THAT much of a shame that Sauron lost. Huan was much more than just a dog.
He was The Goodest Boy
I love this series, keep up the good work.
Ah, Elbereth Gilthoniel, silivren pena miriel, oh-menal aglar elenath, na-chaered palan diriel!
Nice cliff hanger ending! Definitely can't wait for the next video!
"Let Beren speak!" Said Thingol, and looking back to Beren said: “What would you here, unhappy mortal, and for what cause have you left your own land to enter this, which is forbidden to such as you? Can you show reason why my power should not be laid on you in heavy punishment for your insolence and folly?" Then Beren looking up beheld the eyes of Luthien, and his glance went also to the face of Melian; and it seemed to him that words were put into his mouth. Fear left him, and the pride of the eldest house of Men returned to him; and he said: "My fate, O King, led me hither, through perils such as few even of the Elves would dare. And here I have found what I sought not indeed, but finding I would possess for ever. For it is above all gold and silver, and beyond all jewels. Neither rock, nor steel, nor the fires of Morgoth, nor all the powers of the Elf-kingdoms, shall keep from me the treasure that I desire. For Luthien your daughter is the fairest of all the Children of the World."
😬😬😭😭
This series is one the best in fantasy genre. Brilliant doc. Love from Sri Lanka ❤️🔥❤️. We always appreciate your hard work and dedication towards these videos. We know it take lot of time and hard work to make these videos. Your fan from Sri Lanka ❤️.
Nice work dude thanks
I want to say I really like the kind of ongoing theme in these videos that "courage/valor alone is not enough".
I love you guys y’all amazing , you should be the producer for the Amazon rings of power. In your historical channel you get the facts right and amazingly on the lord of the simirilian also keep it up
btw awesome art work and storytelling thank you for this video.
TY for your history in everything
Show More images of luthiens beauty. She diserved. Love your videos!
Wow, great episode!
Now *this* was worth waiting for. 💞
Great stuff guys
What a terrible cliff hanger to leave us at lol I was prepared for the next epic part of the story of beren and luthien with fucking Huan showing up haha
Thank you
Sauron is Morgoth’s terror weapon here, he clearly prefers to capture, torture and kill his enemies after they’ve run out of uses for him. Kinda seeing a similarity to the Witch King of Angmar being Sauron’s chief commander and tool of destruction operating in Angmar and Minas Morgul while Sauron serving Morgoth has his own base of Tol-in-Gaurhoth and goes to his own ends to terrorize the enemies of Evil.
Wow. Excellent.
The elves are soooo bad ass in these series… kudos to your team and the artists specifically, I fell in love with your art, specifically the helms of Armorian kings and armor of elvish lords. How I can purchase the one?
I love this this story
Awesome wallet and KeyCase 💯
A long and protracted duel through song? What were they doing, having a rap battle in Quenya?
Sort of. Magic in Tolkiens world is often sung (as you could see in the Lord of The Rings with the song of the barrow wight). And here Finrod recalled songs of hope and light, of distraction and courage, but Sauron countered every of his words with melodies of dicoveredtruth, and of despair and destruction, and of course in the end he won and all their disguises were ripped of them and they were defenseless before his eyes... I think there is a poem in the Sil which recalls that.
Basically, yes. It’s probably my favorite part of the Silmarillion and the Lay of Leithian.
Could you do videos about Warhammer40k?
Maybe the Horus Heresy?
I'll be waiting for any gears of War episode patiently
Beautiful love story
this is truly a sad story
Great video would be what if Czechoslovakia had defended in 1938
Grief is the price we pay for love.

Hi Wizards and Warriors , I just wanted to ask why you guys changed the way your thumbnails looked , right now they look like they depict an important event occurring but they used to be maps with the place of the battle taking place somewhere in the top of the screen, personally I liked the latter more but I just wanted to know why you guys changed it , still love your work!!
Lovely
Cool vid
Wait a powerful sorceress and Warrior riding on a dog? VENAT, is that YOU????
Yep I forsee nothing but positive things and absolutely no problems with this Sauron fellow.
If any man wishes to marry my daughter, I shall ask him to first bring me the Crown Jewels.
wow! what a great story. This is what rings of power should have been.
Am i the only one who had to laugh at "following a long and protracted duel with Finrod through song" and imagined something similar to Eurovision?
Greatest love story period.
They were straights who yet again got the focus & attention, because they fulfilled some ridiculous idealisation of meta-physical purity & perfection... that got mapped out onto/into our physical realm/world. That's basically the main point of/for their creation in the end.
They had some interesting aspects (everybody does), but would be nice to get outside of such very small boxes.
Concerning Thingol as "one of the greatest kings" I am sceptical. I always saw him as rather arrogant (even for an elven king) and short-sighted in his isolationism. That he was eventually killed by the dwarves might have been tragic but in this he was not completely innocent I think...
You know I've given this a lot of tought and I'm pretty sure that Morgoth would have won the War of Wrath if he didn't rely on Sauron and Gothmog to safeguard his plans but used NordVPN, the best online VPN service for speed and security. Get NordVPN and upgrade your privac...
Oh! I know this one actually!
Thanks Tolkien Untangled!
Sia su wizard che su king's general potresti mettere i sottotitoli in italiano
If this was Beren and Luthien story, next one must be Nirnaeth Arnoediad
Well I think next one will be the rest of B+L's story. Then the Nirnaeth comes soon after that. Then the story of Turin, where things get REALLY dark...
@@desmondd1984 I guess they will split that story in two parts too, since that guy was really into a lot of catastrophes. To be honest, the "person" I liked in that story the most had scales. The great wyrm had some cool scenes, although he spoke only a few times. But the scene in which Morgoth curses Hurin is also cool.
Finrod lives. He was resurrected in Valinor and was reunited to his fiance whom he loves. Never mind ROP's story.
What if Beren took all the silmarils from morgoth
What if the elves won the battle of unumbered Tears
What if Fëonor survived
❤️
R.I.P. Finrod 😞
What had they done to you in Rings of Power?😠
Finrod Brolagund
who does this music?
Everyone asks "who were Beren and Luthien"
But not "How were Beren and Luthien"😔
Try 1 of asking the channel to ( for April fools) cover the paintball war from community
Can't wait for that mongol alt history
But I thought Finrod was killed by Sauron off-screen after talking about stones
Warhammer Fantasy pls
Better love story than Twilight.
What if Finwe and Fëonor survived
juhu!
!
They really are ignoring better storylines like these and focusing on other storylines that really could be put back.
Although I love this channel, this is one of those things that shouldn't be spoiled by a summary regardless how well done.
This should've been the story for The Rings of Power. Except they probably would've screwed it up too and made Luthien another stereotypical girl-boss like Rey/Galadriel etc, and made Beren a Homer Simpson type bumbler.
So, I guess I'm glad they didn't try to tell the story of Beren and Luthien
