Never stop making videos
This aged well
the opening of this video "GONDOR! GONDOR!" startled the shit out of me
Kyle James Whoops haha sorry about that!
I don't consider myself an expert on the Tolkien lore by no means, but I would say I know a fair deal of it. That being said, with this video you taught me something I had always wondered but never knew: who the statues of Argonath were depicting. I had always just assumed it was just some of the kings of old whose names had passed from memory.. Thanks for passing on your wisdom in these videos. I greatly look forward to your part 2 :)
Amazon should seriously bring you on as a consultant for their new LOTR series.
Daniel Betts That would be so much fun!
Wait wait what is amazon planning
@@MrHistory269 a tv series set in the second age
They better, because if they don't and screw up this New Lord of the Rings Numenor series the same way Disney "Death-Stared" Star Wars......How should I say It properly: "There will be NO DAWN FOR THEM......"
@@sabakka-e5u i think its in the before the or directly int he first age actually
Men of the West. This is on a whole new level. Thank you for using your momentum and diving deep into Tolkien's work. It would have taken me years to experience all of this content and understand it like this. Great job.
Ethan Légère Thank you so much, I’m glad you appreciate it. To make these videos and communicate with all of you is one of the greatest honours I’ve ever had. Thank you for your support!
Anyone else sad that we may never see the former glory of Numenor. What wonders there must have been before their fall.
You get to now friend.
LOTR stands alone as a peerless epic of fantastic
It strides over the genre like a true colossus
The lore and complexity are unmatched
Plenty of fine novels and series around of course
Excellent channel and gorging on entries
Men of the West - I salute you
Awesome !
OMG! I can't resist clicking on these videos. It's like the one ring for me, in the sense that I have to do other stuff but these videos are too good to resist.
Thank you so much! :)
Your narration is on point as always
Samuel Glaze k
Again....its been a long time since since I've been deep in the details....like 10 plus years....I think the Silmarillion will be my Christmas present to myself. Thanks Yoysten...you gotta have the prettiest guy's name ever btw...thanks for your lore work....its appreciated of your fans!!
This is literately the best channel on youtube, please continue with videos like this!
Amon Amarth, so that's where that viking metal band got their name
Horned Reaper I know right! I just realized that too!
Or its one of the many things or in this case words Tolkien took from nordic mythology...
Presbiter what does amon amarth mean in nordic mythology?
Amon Amarth is the Sindarin name of Mount Doom
Lol I was waiting for him to respond, but knew he wouldn't be able to..
What if the fellowship never went to moria and went to rohan instead?
I like your videos first, then I watch them.
I would love to see a video about the dunedain, the Gray Company and everything related to them after the fall of Arnor. I feel like Halbarad and the company should be mentioned more because they were not included in the trilogy but played an important role.
Yes!!! I completely agree! I've been dying for a video on the Dunedain, The Grey Company and Halbarad. But as it is, we hardly know anything on him *sighs*
This gives me something to look forward to on Monday.
Yoystan, I have one topic for you on next week's Q&A: what really happened to every dwarf in Thorin's company after the battle of five armies?
I agree this would be a great video
You never fail to enlighten me with these great videos. Can hardly wait for part two!
The pelennor was an empty field but the movie missed farms and fields and the rammas echor or the black first ring of minas tirith... and then i listened to the documemention of the making of and they say how they paid attention so pelennor is as true to the books as possible ??? Eventually it inspired me to make a 3d rendering on my vision of the pelennor
I would love to see it! The movies didn't give me a good visual of what the Pelennor Fields really look like.
It's possible that Peter Jackson just meant that tried to make it as accurate as possible within the confines of what we wanted to show in the movie. They say a lot of this kinda stuff. And I've watched those behind the scenes docs many many times
Thank you.
Is is my vote that you release the next in this series right away.
Gondor's symbol was the Tree. Arnor's was seven stars (for the palantiri). The House of Elendil had both, surmounted by a crown, as Elendil was high king of both kingdoms.
Oh hello! Your intros startle me though lol. You shout Gondor all bold and proud and I'm like WOAH! But hey, it happens.
Finally the Gondorian kinstrife. I've been hoping you'd cover it for some time. Keep up the good work.
These videos are absloutly mesmerizing. Looking foward to the next video
Could you do this for Angmar too?
Voxdalian Definitely!
these videos are awesome keep up the good work, a video talking more about queen beruthiel would be really interesting
Excellent video! If I could make a suggestion, have you considered doing lore videos on some of the weapons in LOTR? There may not be a lot to work with, but Narsil/Anduril, Glamdring and Sting must have some interesting history of their own.
Anyway, great video. Looking forward to part 2!
Christian Farren Great idea! A weapons of Middle-Earth video would be fun! Thank you for the support!
Love the video and love the channel! Keep up the amazing work
Q&A: Where do you get all the artwork featured in your videos? Do you do any yourself? Keep up with your quality work!
Your knowledge of the history of Gondor is vast but I do question you pronunciations of some of the names. I look forward to part 2.
I would love a video on Feanor and his sons. Your videos are always so interesting and entertaining 😍😁
Keep making videos man. I really enjoy watching them.
I certainly want to see part 2 of this video
Great video Yoystan!
Gondor! Thanks for the heart attack from the start of this video after hours of talking in a calm, soothing tone hahaha. Me and my cat jumped at the same time.
can't wait for part 2
Q&A How and when did you get in to Tolkiens legendarium? Which books/movies/games did you read/watch/play. Did you read the 12 book series The History of Middle-Earth and if you did, do you think they are a must read for the biggest diehard Tolkien fan?
P.S. if you chose these questions dont bother pronouncing my name, its just Ambarad :)
Finally the prince of Gondor and the princess of Rohan marrying you would think that the relationship of these two countries would have a strong bond.
We’d like to see part 2 right away. Thank you for making these. I really enjoy them. 😁
Love to see a video on Angband and Utumno!
Sooo well done, can not wait for more and to hear your thoughts on the new LOTR series, Cheers
First normal video since I subscribed! Wish I had found this channel sooner.
Did Tolkien start the crazy cat lady concept?. 😂
just me 😂 That would be hilarious!
It's more complex - in fact, the Queen hated cats. That was exactly why the cats were attracted to her. This shows a great insight in the nature of cats, in comparison with dogs!
Such incredible passion in your narration. Well done. I love watching your videos.
I found your channel a few days ago and am love it!
I just finished watching the history spotlight for the shire, and this video auto played. I'd kinda dosed off to the nice outro music, and then i heard "GONDOR!!!" and jumped out of my skin ;) super cool video though!
Thank you! These videos are beautiful and help smooth my anxiety :)
I️ LOVE your videos!!! Please keep making them, they brighten my day❤️
Suport from philippines!
Omg...thank you for reminding me of Beruthiel...
Could you make a video about gollum
Hi, big fan and learning lots. Just finished RotK on audiobook and was amazed to listen to the Mount Doom chapter where Sam sees a vision of Frodo dressed in white and the shadow of Gollum. I found the same passage in the book and it was the same. Could you please make a video about this if you know the answer. Is this because Frodo is related to the Tooks? Does he have a magical essence of some kind?
Awesome Awesome. Keep it up.
Warriors! Sauron's army is pushing it's way across our lands. We must press them back, across the far bridge. This day we will fight with all our strength and courage. If we die today it will be as free men. And not as slaves to Mordor!
- Boromir at the battle of Osgiliath.
This was awesome. Now do Gondolin!
Wow nicely presented
Another great vid dude.. Hopefully the new series will be this respectful to the lore....
Man! Ur introductions on ur vids r badass, & it tips the hat to whatever lore ur covering. But its good shit brother so keep doing what u do. Giving ur channel that originality all great channels do. & u Sir r deftly 1 of those greats lol. For real tho well done
Man, you really know what you are talking about. I've been reading Tolkien for more than thirty years, even studied some at college... And yet you find things I don't know or at least haven't thought about or connected. But. Where did you find info on queen Beruthiel, apart from that one line by Aragorn? Always a pleasure watching your videos. Keep it up 👊🏻
What a nice topic this would be for the upcomming series...
Awesome video Yoystan Gondor honestly is one of my most favorite Kingdoms of Men in all of Tolkien's works and in Fantasy and Literature and thanks so much for making this video about it I find it so sad that Gondor one of the last true kingdoms of Middle Earth and one of the last descendent kingdoms of Numenor slowly had begun to fall into corruption and Chaos but of course ever so is the nature of Man ever since Morgoth tainted almost all of Arda before The First Age and The Awakening of Men anyway loved this video can't wait for the next one and for my question for the Q&A is
#Q&A If you were in Middle Earth what character would you want to be out of any in the Legendarium?
Can you make like a short video covering all the major events of the first age of middle earth?? Your channel is amazing...
Well now I wanna find out more about this Queen Beruthiel. Maybe one day you could do a little history video about her?
Sam Rosania Definitely! That would be a lot of fun!
Great job dude.
Great video dude, do you think you can do a video on the druedain or the tauredain
Connorconvoy12 Gaming Will do!
i love your videos i have loved the lord of the rings ever sins i could remember but i did not know much about the world but your videos have really love the world that Talkien made never stop what you are doing man you are awesome.
Love the videos, keep it up 👍
I love this channel!!!!!
Q and A. i've just been wondering if you could make a short video on hobbits in middle earth and when they first appeared. it'd be great if you could find time to do this.
Hi Men of the West, love your videos. I have a big doubt and i can't find a concrete answer. Do you know wich of the Dwarven clans lived in the Grey Mountains during the second age ? If you could reply i would be very grateful, i thank you for your attention and wish you a nice day.
Fantastic/superb narration, keep at it brother man
Could you make the History of Numemor?
Most definitely! That will be fun!
Excellent stuff as usual. Great job.
Hi Men of The West can you do a video on the history of Mordor
Of course! Great idea, my friend!
Gondor has no king. Gondor needs no king!
Hi, big fan and learning lots. Just finished RotK on audiobook and was amazed to listen to the Mount Doom chapter where Sam sees a vision of Frodo dressed in white and the shadow of Gollum. I found the same passage in the book and it was the same. Could you please make a video about this if you know the answer. Is this because Frodo is related to the Tooks? Does he have a magical essence of some kind? I’d like to hear your interpretation of this event. All the best, Victor.
Great work as always. I would love to see you make a backstory vid on Sauron and Morgoth.
Now I know where the band "Amon Amarth" got their name from.
Much like Burzum :)
Harjawulfaz :P And Gorgoroth ;)
Excellent
❤️❤️❤️ this channel
Got a question for you. How did the One Ring or Ring of Power end up in the river where it was discovered by Smeegels' brother and ultimately end up in his hands.
christopher holladay Great question! When Isildur was fleeing from Orcs near the Gladden Fields, he put the One Ring on and tried to swim across the Anduin River. The Ring fell off and Isildur was relieved of his burden. When he hit a shore, he was shot by orc arrows. This is roughly the place, if not slightly upriver to the place where the Hobbit Stoors would settle for a time, so while fishing Déagol found the One Ring and thus it came into Sméagol’s hands
Men of the West ,Thank you always wondered how it ended up there.
At the time of the War of the Ring Gondor had already been more or less constantly in war against the East for unbelievable 3000 years. Imagine what kind of special culture and no-bullshit life the Gondorians under Denethor II neccessary must have had in such a harsh reality.
Faramir mentions it a bit in the books: by necessity they became more like Rohan, prizing war and warriors over other pursuits.
Can you explain why Bilbo was able to understand the Spider Queen and her young , while they captured the dwarves and wrapped them in silk webs. I know he wore the ring, do you think that because the ring was forged in evil , it so gave the bearer , the ability to understand dark creatures & magic?
christopher holladay That’s a great question! I think the Ring did give him the ability to understand this evil speech as the Ring was evil and its powers weren’t as defined in the Hobbit. It’s also possible that the One Ring has this specific affect on Bilbo as the abilities of each wearer differed. So it’s possible he could understand other languages with it whereas others couldn’t because Bilbo is a linguist of sorts. That would be my guess at least!
Men of the West , that was my thinking as well, would love to find out what abilities each ring had on it's bearers, and was this the cause to make a few of them paranoid and corrupt?
i hope you make a video about the Haradrim too sometimes soon.one of my favourites
HOME!!!
Where is the Tower Guard image in the beginning from? As a whole, there were several pictures that were just great, but that I've never seen before...
Leo Rodés I found it on google images with the search ‘Gondorian art’. It’s from DeviantArt I believe. I really like that picture too! Thanks for watching!
It's from the Skyrim mod MERP's gondorian armament but I assume you've found it by now
Id like a video of angband and morgoth
Q&A: Will Amazon TV LOTR series cover Similarlion. Is it worth it or too complex?
Hey, could you create a video on fortresses and ancient strongholds of middle earth? Who created them, when were they bulit, what led to their downfall, and battles/heros involved with said falls.
Personal question: out of the movies which is your favorite(hobbit+Lotr)/out of the books which is your favorite (hobbit+Lotr)
Hidan Rituals Great question! Favorite movie and book both have to be The Return of the King. The speeches and character moments are so incredible. How about yourself?
Men of the West out of the movie is have to go with Fellowship of the Ring, out of the books, I agree with you, Return of the king
hobbitt and lotr 1
Yoystan! Yoystan! Yoystan! Yoystan!
Awesome.
Could you please do a vid on the battle of unnumbered tears. Love your work cheers Dean
It would be cool to see the second age of middle earth in the movies and the first age.
Awesome video, man, as usual, I really enjoy what you do but I still feel that your pronunctiation of the names could use some improvement.
I want to the part 2 fucking now
This video is soooooooo awesome
And all this time I thought the Argonath was Elendil and Isildur. Its little nuances like this as to why I think Tolkien lore is the best!
could you do a video about the tauredain?
You are a great man
I love these books
