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.

It's not that the Valar were against the Noldor going after Morgoth,but they saw there would be no point,as without their help,they couldn't defeat Morgoth.
Nicely done video
At 16.17 it shows fingolfin travelling across the sea but earlier it states he went north across the frozen land bridge
Would you ever contemplate covering Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time series?

Elves in the first age - HEAVY METAL MUSIC INTESIFIES.
Elves in the later third age - Soothing Harp Music.
Ever listen to Blind Guardian?
so it was just a faze?
I think it's amusing that elves in generic fantasy fiction and RPGs tend to be frail, magical hippies, while in Tolkien's texts they are gigachad warriors overflowing with pure testosterone and rage.
@@MarkAVP i just came to ask. Bards song is the closest to my heart
Metal opera
Slight error. Osse was actually a guy, and it was his wife Uinen (who was usually the one who restrained her more violent husband) who caused havoc in the seas.
The Silmarillion is a tough read and it is easy to miss a lot of details.
Thank you for making these videos and beautifully summarizing all of the events taking place in the First Age.
I have read the Silmarillion atleast 10 times.
My favourite novel
A tough read indeed. Had I put the same effort into studying as much as I did into reading Silmarillion, I would have been a scientist by now.
Only just finished The Silmarillion and loved it
I found it tough too but after constantly referring to the index, the information (lineages, geography, names, the gods etc) began to make more sense. I refer to the first half of the book which mainly talks about elves, dwarves, the valar/Maia, the enemy. Just when I thought I had a pretty good grasp of what was going on, men are introduced and the painstaking but rewarding process started all over again. That's one of the things that makes this book so awesome! There is so much to digest and learn!
You can criticize Feanor (and you should), but if he hadn’t come to Middle Earth for selfish reasons Morgoth would have likely conquered the entire continent.
And you shouldn't.
Feanor was a great ruler who was treated dishonorably by the Valar. They showed no compassion for the fact that he witnessed the death (or rather, a coma) of his mother. They gave him great knowledge, but regarded the Silmarils as THEIR PROPERTY (which is beautifully stated in the prophecy of Dagoth Dagorath). They provoked conflict between Feanor and Fingolfin, preparing the latter for the role of High King (simply because Fingolfin had a more accommodating character).
And the most disgusting thing is that when Finwe was killed, they not only did not take the side of Feanor, but tried to bypass his hereditary rights to make Fingolfin king, and send Feanor himself to Formen (since the 10-year period of his exile had not passed).
And instead of helping the Noldor in the fight against Morgoth, the Valar withdrew themselves, cursed Feanor and his descendants, and took up their heads only a few centuries later, when the population of Beleriand was sharply reduced.
@@Крэйден_х Feanor was corrupted by Morgoth... He believed his lies and accused his brother.. He even threatened him with a sword while they were in Valinor! He was cursed because he slew his kin and cursed the name of the Valar.. He was very stubborn and the rest of the elves payed the price
@@KostasTsilipakos Feanor was no more cursed than any of the other Quendi. Morgoth's lies were believed by many, including the Valar, and he very skillfully played on their goals, ambitions and so on. However, he could not persuade Feanor to his side.
As I said, BOTH FEANOR (who threatened his brother with a sword) and VALAR (who came up with all this idiocy with the statute of Miriel, which could deprive Feanor of hereditary rights) are to blame for the conflict with Fingolfin.
Nor was Fingolfin an innocent lamb. He craved power and the crown, though I believe he may have been motivated by such ambition due to pressure from the other Noldor.
Say anything you like about what drove Fëanor and Even Morgoth to have petty grievances.
They each had certain options they elected not to exercise: supplicating to Oromë, Varda, Manwë, or Eru in near that order, laying down their own will, begging for assistance.
With pride they took matters into their own hands.
It is subtly hinted that the Thrones of Varda and Manwë are like the greater more encompassing sense of which Amon Hen and even all the Palantirí are but as shadows; yet if the King and Queen need each other to have Full Sight and Hearing, then individually they are both less than Melkor.
They might have not had omniscience but they were wise in this:
Melkor was of an order equal to they. To strike at him would wound Arda very directly, because he was so involved in its making and because he poured his essence into it to bind it and he even closer together.
If Evil came about from the reticence of the Valar to aid the Noldor, it was first the case that Morgoth had all them under blackmail and worse.
It might have been chosen by the Valar to ask Eru's intervention immediately, instead of wait for the Downfall of Nûmenor.
But it was not hate of the Noldor but grief that their common enemy was too great for either Noldor or Valar that drove Manwë and Mandos.
Without the option to assail Morgoth directly, he had free reign to do Evil as he would, and he willed it.
The Sindar and Laiquendi could have been in Aman but chose themselves not to go. Abandoning them to Morgoth seems unkind and unnecessary but they did have Melian and she was protecting them in any case.
If the Noldor had stayed in Valinor and given up the Silmarils as though they had been slain, Morgoth would not be troubling them anymore, and it would be upon Melian and Thingol to send for aid by ship messenger.
I think they would have been able to beg Ossë Uinen and Ulmo to carry their cry the rest of the crossing.
The Kinslaying was Fëanor's choice as much as any of the Children had choices, Fëanor was obviously the Freest in Spirit of them all.
His Fire had a right to burn hot, but it could have been wiser, and his Hatred of Morgoth would have found love from the Valar, particularly Kementari, had he not murdered the Teleri, burnt ships which were stolen off the slain kin for the purpose of abandoning more kin.
Fëanor had a very troubled relationship with his family tree. It is hard to say he really considered any of his kin as he should have except maybe his father and mother alone.
He did two unloves to even his eldest son Maedhros:
Maedhros should not have been forced to burn the ships, and desiring to hold the Oath even after seeing it laid futile, with its new goal Not to recover what can't be recovered but Only to seek vengeance and death, was to bitterly enslave his sons in poor repayment for their fealty.
The Oath might have been amended at Fëanor's death to a humbled form recognizing the need for aid reconciliation and many miracles and begging the Valar's forgiveness.
Fëanor felt as you do but those thoughts came from Morgoth.
I can't promise the Silmarils would be returned but I could promise the Valar themselves would desire justice done to Morgoth. Fëanor was a fool to despise the only allies that could have availed.
@@darthparallax5207 You are wrong from the beginning. The oath given by Feanor had already deprived his sons of the opportunity to act freely, to live as they saw fit. And not realizing that they were victims of circumstances and victims of the stupidity and carelessness of the Valar, further argument does not make any sense. Because Feanor is a tragic character, like his sons. And certainly not a villain.
So much lore, so many battles of glory and victory, but also so many disasters and heartbreak, thank you for bringing the early ages to life kings and generals. I always love the time of the two lamps, time of the two trees, and the 1st age 🎉
Such epicness of stories
I imagine Feanor was probably severely tormented after he died and his spirit went to Mandos. He was met there by his dead father, and all the Teleri he had murdered, and all the Noldor who died for his selfish reasons. And almost all of the Elves to die after that were probably pretty angry with him too. Imagine all those many thousands of Elves died as a result of your quest for the silmarils, and now you have to walk among their spirits for a VERY LONG TIME.
Doubt that. He is a superior being to his own race and even more than the lesser race. And they all need his help at the end to defeat morgoth and unmake the gems to heal the trees. Lmao inferior scums will always be inferior scum. Doubt a superior being like feanor needs to bow to any of them than to eru alone.
"There long shall ye abide and yearn for your bodies, and find little pity though all whom ye have slain should entreat for you." -Prophecy of Mandos, Of the Filght of the Noldor
Props to whoever is making the art it's helping explain are bring everything to life so well
The kin slaying of the Tilari always was sad, couldn’t have been an easy decision for Feanor and his followers but they felt so betrayed by the Valar that nothing would stop them. Thanks Wizards soooo much 🤩👍
Teleri*
Oh it was an easy decision Feanor’s part. Doubt he felt any remorse about that considering he burnt the ships and abandoned his brother.
@@aghaonubenjamin3644 It wasn't an easy decision, since Feanor, as greedy as he was, was still an Elf and good at heart.
@@thebeastofrome3600 Really? Feanor was an arrogant dick that slaughtered an entire group of people. I don't give a damn what his perceived motivations were.
@@thebeastofrome3600 Fëanor had a mindset of you weren’t directly subordinate to him, you were expendable. He hated his half brothers and any who weren’t directly pledged to his cause. Doubtless he would have attacked Thingol if Morgoth hadn’t destroyed him first.
Great video, but Osse took the form of a man. His wife was Uinen.
The art and delivery of this material is fantastic. There is a rough road ahead for the elves, and your delivery of the Doom of Mandos and the reasons for it is very well done. It was an aspect of The Silmarillion I didn't quite grasp when I was a younger reader. I cannot wait to watch the rest of the episodes of this documentary.
Feanor was right about cursing the Valars, they kind of released Melkor and allowed him to cause so much death and mischief.
Don't curse higher powers you can not hope to understand. That would be like a child cursing its parents for making him eat vegetables.
That's equivalent to cursing the angels because Satan was once one of them.
Kudos to you guys for the video! A small mistake though, Ossë is actually male. You might have confused him with Uinen his wife, who is also a Maia of Ulmo.
If I recall, Osse was also forbidden to act in any way to avenge the Teleri, however, he told his wife; consequently, Uinen's grief was so great that her tears raised the seas to such heights that many of the captured ships were wrecked. Clever, clever, Osse.
@@colindunnigan8621 yep, because _if_ Osse was alllowed to let out his anger, there would not have been much left of Beleriand's and Valinor's coastlines and therefore the Teleri and Falathrim
@@donpula6349 Oh, I am acutely aware. I just used Teleri for the Falmari here because they were more prominently known as "The Teleri" while the Teleri of Beleriand and Middle-Earth, while having a shared history, had been separated from their brethren for a long time by then already that they were basically a different kin, aka "The Sindar".
Also, the video referred to the Falmari as the Teleri, so I wanted to be in line to reduce confusion.
I love how Feanor went out as a powerful being. Even with his faults he was an absolute power.
Amazon could have saved themselves half a billion dollars if they had just hire Wizards and Warriors to get the Rings of Power story right.
This is lore, not a story. Lord of the Rings and Hobbits are stories but most of the second age is lore.
Ossë identified as male, he wasn't female. He had a wife who always had to calm him down cause he was on Morgoths side and forever after he had a little darkness in him.
Ossë non-binary? Based.
@@concept5631 Besides it was Ossë's wife Uïnen that was enraged and who sunk many of the ships manned by the Noldor. Ossë however was not allowed to do that.
so much better than Amazons Ring Of Power.....
give it one more season
@@theawesomeman9821 what is that gonna do
@@lurdkatmin3298 make it redeemable, perhaps?
@@theawesomeman9821 I don't think this show is redeemable
@@lurdkatmin3298 the last episode was pretty decent
This is better than rings of power,and you didn't even have to spend a billion dollars
A video that costs maybe 100$ to make, still better that "The rings of power"
It's amazing when love and care is put into their work transcends it and become art. ROP was a product to Quote a better written series on the same network " It's just bad product"
This is the story every Tolkien fan wants to see adapted and def not by Amazon
True Tolkien fans know that the Tolkien family doesn’t want The Silmarillion to be adapted to film.
Thank you for covering the First Age!
Atleast the elves didn't have to worry about there data services 🤣🤣👌
The Elves of the First Age seem so different from the ones we meet at the end of the Third Age. It makes sense to me that this would be intentional because Impulsiveness and rash actions are usually associated with youth and at this point the Elves were young.
Yeah young, just some 4000+ years of elven history already.
@@kauetadaieski3131 when you are immortal what to others may seem a long time to you it would seem normal
@@NP3GA Not really.
With many Elves being almost as old as the world itself (and a good number being older than the literal sun and moon), The Elves of the First Age are in a weird way in a kind of teenager-phase. They're cocky, arrogant, and eager to prove themselves.
Then, they are BRUTALLY humbled and broken. In the Second Age, bloodied and more mature, they settle for a more stable life, but still have the desire to do great things and innovate, such as Celebrimbor and the Rings of Power. And then they face more problems with Sauron and the breaking of their kingdoms.
In a way, when we meet the Elves in the Lord of the Rings, they are collectively kind of in their elderly stage. They mostly look back to the past for their great achievements, not really expecting too much of the future. And they have lost much of the confidence and arrogance they had in the past. Hell, they even start to "retire" to Valinor.
One individual who exemplifies this is Galadriel. She has a personal arc that starts with joining Feanor, and ends with managing to resist the desire to take the ring from Frodo.
No elves are as old as the world. The elves first awoke in Cuiviénen many ages after the beginning of the world.
Can't wait till you guys get to Turin.
Feanor and Melkur were so alike in character they should have gotten married . Sometimes self love gets in the way of romantic love as it did with those two .
What about battles from mythology? The many battles of Greek myth, Norse myth, etc.
Fighting among themselves while the Greater Evil flourish.
Classic sh*t from divine deities.
100000000000000000000 times more enjoyable than rings of power, please keep making these!
The Dagor Nuin Giliath is my favorite fantasy battle ever. It's description in the book was so badass
"Ten days the battle lasted and of the force Morgoth prepaired for the conquest of all Beleriand little remainded but scattering of leaves."
jesus.. ten days of battle and hardly a rest this noldors sure are tough to crack
@@shawnmelchortrondillo7837 "For the Light of Aman had not yet dimmed from there eyes, and their swords were long and sharp, and they were great in anger."
@@gavinsmith9871 I think this noldors are like Super soldiers in the 1st age being expose to the light of the trees and being super fresh.
@@shawnmelchortrondillo7837 I do think that it wasn't meant to be literally be that they were slashing enemies for 10 days straight but more like held them in a pocket with occasional skirmishes and battles and resting or saturating them with arrows.
Faenor and his sons are some of my favourite characters in the Silmalirion because they break the mould of what to expect from Elves in modern fantasy. In a way Tolkien made both the trope and the Subversion of Fantasy Elves
Great video. But if I might offer well ment cricism; the crossing of the Helcaraxe was underplayed. The animation even showed them crossing the oceans without boats. That alone could be very confusing to newcomers. Even if the hardship of the crossing was not narrated, the army portraits should have been animated moving in a curve over the land, not in a straight line over the sea.
That said I look forward to your next videoswith great anticipation.
Man, this would make for a great tv series adaptation.
Nah. Better to invent a story about warrior Galadriel and the forging of the Rings of Power, even though everyone already knows that tale and how it ends. Brilliant!
I find it amusing how Morgoth started a completely unnecessary war and jeopardized his control over middle earth because he wanted some beautiful but ultimately useless Jewels. I can see why Saron/Halbrand got disillusioned with his master's stupid and insane desires. Morgoth may have been one of the strongest beings in the Tolkien mythos, but he was ultimately a child having a very destructive temper tantrum when his dad, Eru, didn't give him a toy (the flame imperishable).
Isn't Osse a Male Maiar? He had a wife
good catch
Maiar is plural. Maia or Máya is the singular.
This is a balm to the soul now that Rings of Power is over.
Impeccable timing. Just started re-reading Quenta Silmarillion.
❤️
I love the animation style and artworks of this.
But:
The host of Fingolfin went over the Helcaraxe. A huge part in this story. Also between Doriath and the Ered Gorgoroth there was a strip of land called the "Nan Dungortheb"
Hope you will work on these small inaccuracies and keep up the great work.
They do say that Fingolfin went over the Helcaraxe at 11:55, and even spend some time on the subject. I guess the animator just didn't get the memo for the part at the end.
Thats where Ungoliant fled to, and made her lair iirc.
@@Rahbekkk the dark terrors spread to Nan Dungortheb. But it never was forest of Eglarest nor in the realm of Doriath
Can you imagine if Wizard and Warriors making a lore series of Dark Souls and Bloodborne...
Please do more witcher and conan. I want the battle that almost exterminated the witchers of Geralt school.
Please do the Nirnaeth Arnoenidad!
Excellent video showing the treachery of the Noldor to even their own kin to pursue their family treasures. Keep up the hard work!
Omg you did it, you beautifull bastard you did it, keep up the lotr series!! 0_0
The First age overall is such a rich collection of lore and stories. The best ones in my opinion. Too bad we will never see a faithful adaptation to it in the big screen.
Shame indeed
Could you even imagine seeing a faithful big screen adaptation of The Battle of Unnumbered Tears? "I'm not crying! You're crying!"
Great video, just one thing, Maia Ossë is male.
This series are so much better than rings of power. And it does not require millions of dollars
Nice video, but some remarks....
Dissent between the Noldor did not break out at this time and over this issue, but sometime before. (2:45)
Battle at Aqualondae started in as a raid on the harbour not as a field battle (4:38)
Prophecy of the North happened at another place (5:45)
FEANOR: AND I WAS SO ANGRY AT MORGOTH, MY CORPSE CAUGHT FIRE AFTER HE KILLED ME.
You save money on the funeral costs too.
Overall this video was far more accurate than the last, but I still have some pointers, with the 5th one being the worst:
1. This is a nitpick, but instead of having the Two Trees on the map it should just be Ezehollar, the hill upon which they stood. The Two Trees are dead by this point.
2. The map of Beleriand was pretty good, but the Girdle of Melian (and the realm of Doriath) did not extend so far northward to the mountains (Ered Gorgoroth). The land between Doriath and that mountain range was known as Nan Dungortheb, the Valley of Dreadful Death, where Ungoliant spawned many spiders.
3. Blatant typo. It is the Firth of Drengist, not Frengist.
4. May have been mentioned in previous video, but I heard no mention of the Thangorodrim.
5. The so-called "Battle of Lammoth" is a fabrication for this video. I don't know where they read about it, but it doesn't exist in the Silmarillion. In "Of the Return of the Noldor" page 108-109, Fingolfin's arrival into Beleriand is associated with the rising of the Sun, which caused all Orcs to retreat to Angband in fear of the light. Fingolfin marched unopposed to Dor Daedeloth but then withdrew to Hithlum when he realized that the Thangorodrim could not be assailed.
That being said, pronunciation improved substantially from last video.
PoME explain Fingolfin battle and death of his son.
Battle of Lammoth exists.
Can you please do full story on Sauron? PLSSSS
Feanor gets all the blame, but the Valar man, the Valar...
First they just release Melkor, ok he did his time but at least keep a look on him.
Then he destroys the Trees and runs off with no resistance nor chase from the Valar, why??
Then he proceeds to enslave the Middle Earth for ages but the Valar are more focused on holding their grudge vs Feanor than helping a mostly innocent continent against their brother.
Yes Feanor messed up at the Kinslaying but hadn't it been for him and for the Noldor, Morgoth would have expanded his influence to all of Middle Earth unchallenged, and who knows if the Valar would have been able to stop him by the time they realized the danger...
The stewardship of the Valar was worse than useless, despite their knowledge and power. All they wanted was to play in their own heaven, which allowed Melkor to destroy the rest.
The whole business of there being no Sun or Moon during the start of the War of Jewels makes it hard to picture it properly, I guess it is supposed to have happened lit only by starlight. Maybe the Elves themselves are meant to have also glowed with light at the time.
A minor but important context for the First Kinslaying:
While the 2nd host followed the banner of Fingolfin, it was his son Fingon (who was close in friendship to the House of Finwe) who commanded the van, and it was this vanguard that helped decided the Battle. Had Fingolfin or Turgon, the son that most aligned with his father in temper and lack of desire to leave Aman, been in command the Second host may have hesitated to join in the kinslaying.
Fingon supported the choice to rebel and came to the aid of the sons of Finwe more than once out of love rather than strictly out of duty. Fingolfin did so to protect his people from Feanor and to not break with his oath to not supplant his brother, neither of which would have been enough to get Fingolfin to commit to killing other elves without at least getting a better sense of what was going on.
Look people, I just want Battle For Middle Earth III.
Just a small correction* Ossë is a male.
The Silmarillion is the only work of fiction I've ever read where I had to take notes.
‘Fair shall the end be,’ he cried, ‘though long and hard shall be the road! Say farewell to bondage! But say farewell also to ease! Say farewell to the weak! Say farewell to your treasures - more still shall we make! Journey light. But bring with you your swords! For we will go further than Tauros, endure longer than Tulkas: we will never turn back from pursuit. After Morgoth to the ends of the Earth! War shall he have and hatred undying. But when we have conquered and have regained the Silmarils that he stole, then behold! We, we alone, shall be the lords of the unsullied Light, and masters of the bliss and the beauty of Arda! No other race shall oust us!’
Then Fëanor swore a terrible oath. Straightway his seven sons leaped to his side and each took the selfsame oath; and red as blood shone their drawn swords in the glare of the torches.
‘Be he foe or friend, be he foul or clean,
brood of Morgoth or bright Vala,
Elda or Maia or Aftercomer,
Man yet unborn upon Middle-earth,
neither law, nor love, nor league of swords,
dread nor danger, not Doom itself,
shall defend him from Fëanor, and Fëanor’s kin,
whoso hideth or hoardeth, or in hand taketh,
finding keepeth or afar casteth
a Silmaril. This swear we all:
death we will deal him ere Day’s ending,
woe unto world’s end! Our word hear thou,
Eru Allfather! To the everlasting
Darkness doom us if our deed faileth.
On the holy mountain hear in witness
and our vow remember, Manwë and Varda!’
*Feanor and his host arrive at the shores of Valinor*
Feanor: "Oh ye, this Ocean exists ... so, what now?"
Guyladriel: "We could swim!"
Feanor: " ... Ye right and on our way across the sea we might just happen to stumble across Morgoth on a raft haha. Ok lets murder those Teleris over there and steal their ships!"
I love the animations, I can only imagine what fans and people who truly love Tolkien could do with the same resources Amazon spent on political messages and bad acting.
This is so incredible! I've read the Silmarillion four times (!!!) and never truly grasped the stories as well as you have laid out. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart! I will read again with new understanding.
Awesome, as always. Do please tell if you have any plans to cover the battles in the DUNE universe? Cheers!
Outstanding recap 👌🏽. I couldn’t be happier I’ve found this wonderful channel.
Plz more battles from Ice and fire world..
Great artwork and storytelling, really brings this somewhat obscure Age to life
Osse is a Dude, Mr. WeirdBritishSoundingMan
Uinen is his wife. 😓😮💨
Again, these video's are of the highest quality! Superb work and i hope you enjoy making them as much as i do watching them
All I have to say, all this could've been avoided had the Valar paid more attention to this guy Melkor, literally they fell for his act several times, tricked them again, and it took a Half Human and his Wife to get the Valar and Maiar to do something.
Also it’s the Firth of Drengist, not Frengist
There are several mistakes but the whole story is pretty well covered
If elves can behaved and acted like humans, do they deserved their own series in the world without humans?
Osse is a guy. Other than that great video.
And Fingolfin went over the Helcaraxe
I think a LOTR first age series and or movie would be EPIC.
Be safe and be 😎
Is it just me, or are ALL of the Valar the actual villains? Melkor steals the Silmarils, destroys the two trees and causes untold suffering in his effort to destroy the world, and the other Valar just sit around. "Oh, that's just Melkor being Melkor. You guys just let him be." Then they hinder the Noldor and curse Feanor for wanting to do something about this guy who is actively destroying the world. Meanwhile, Melkor is slaughtering elves in Middle Earth, and the Valar are just sitting in their circle jerk in Valinor, not caring. They actually have to be BRIBED to intervene. F those guys.
Not villains, but out of touch, for sure.
Hey guys just wanted to say i was really disappointed in that war of the ring episode on rohan that you didnt follow the vook and used the pretty bad novie narrative. Anyway: these first age videos are really cool
This is so good! Looking forward to you going all the way through the first age. It's too bad the RoP TV show doesn't have the rights to the Silmarillion so they had to leave a lot of context out
Just as well.. they would likely have screwed it up!
"Feanor kind of forgot about the ocean."
Finwe was not Melkors father. Melkor existed before the elves. Melkor was one of the Valar.
Edit: Finally found time to finish the video. Very enjoyable! Thanks for the upload. 😊
You misunderstood. The "his" in this case is attributed to Fëanor and not Melkor, i.e. Fëanor's father (Finwë), Fëanor's Silmarils.
They never said Finwe wasMelkor's father, I think you misunderstood
Finwe was Eru's father, everyone knows that
Great video again. But I thought Osse was male.
I think they confused Osse with Uinen. Osse is indeed male.
I think at some point, the jewelers in this world need to realize that it's time to pick a different line of work. Best case scenario you're stuck with a stock that has some bad associations. At worst you get kidnapped and made to create a weapon of magical mass destruction.
Maybe just become a baker.
Feanor was totally a jerk
Osse was male and it was Uinen who was the female and the wife of Osse
just a minor correction, as there where two maiar who served Ulmo, Osse and his wife Uinen
Holding my breath until the next video in this series; please don’t make me wait too long ☠️
It is in the works!
Could you possible cover battles from the Chronicles of Narnia?
I gave a little squeee when I saw this
Finally some first age content
Wohoo
Now this is a faithful retelling of Tolkiens work
There are few 😁
Not really. It’s pretty riddled with inaccuracies.
We want to know what… which videos you want to see.
Soul Reaver. The Legacy of Kain.
In absolute ecstasy that I’m getting a first age series and the end times serious at the same time keep up the great work
Can you guys please double check your lore research? Osse is a dude, and it's his wife Uinen who created the ship wrecking storms through her grief. Osse specifically was forbidden from JOINING THE FRAY.
""And Olwë called upon Ossë, but he came not, for it was not permitted by the Valar that the fight of the Noldor should be hindered by force. But Uinen wept for the mariners of the Teleri; and the sea rose in wrath against the slayers, so that many of the ships were wrecked and those in them drowned.""
--("Of the Flight of the Noldor", The Silmarillion).
This isn't the first Tolkien inaccuracy I've come across in your videos, which is a pity, since you guys have the best visual representation on TH-cam right now. But you research department (or person) needs to up their game.
They need to hire Darth Gandalf to direct the troop movements.
15:42 Faenor gets post-nut clarity
Man that was amazing. Great work
Feanor was an absolute chad the Valar are tryants abusing their power
🤔 pretty sure Finwë wasn't Melkor's father (although an elf fathering a Valar would be epic)
Fëanor: "Elf literally too angry to die".
i love this so much thank you!
Brilliant! I keep rewatching the 2 videos so far on Silmarillion. Been wishing for this forever, thank you.
The animation in these is so amazing. Absolutely love
Does anyone know who did the art for the Elven figureheads? They look real great, but I don't think I've seen them before.
Created in-house, glad you liked them
Just saying but this part of the history of middle earth is my favorite part because I know very little about morgoth.
interesting. I thought that Feanor and his armies not even reached the shores of Aman, but got defeated still at the sea. But based on this video, they not only reached the shores, but they marched and battle as well in there. Interesting.
Small correction, Osse is male, not female.
I am freaking out so much now. You covered Quenta Silmarillion! 🥺
