Hurin's family fate was cruel, but what would you say about souls tortured for eternity like for example in warp space in W40k.

[@richardthomas9497]

In the aftermath of the battle the dead Elves and Edain were piled into a mound that would be called Haudh-en-Nirnaeth (Hill of Tears)/Haudh-en-Ndengin (Hill of the Slain). Afterwards it became covered in grass becoming a green mound in a burned and ruined land of Anfauglith. Among the dead was Húrin's brother Huor, he had only been married for two months before the battle to Rían a kinswoman of Beren. Months later, Rían after giving birth to Tuor leaving him in the care of the Elves, came to the mound and died of grief when she heard no word of his fate.

Yeah also one of my favorite metal albums but it had some missed opportunities imo. They failed to mention that Fingolfin actually managed to hurt Morgoth several times with a wound that never healed. They could have made a very epic song about the host of Valinor including the Vanyar and the Noldor of Finarfin finally marching upon Angband, about Finarfin fighting with Sauron "wuth Songs of Power" wich would just be perfect to be adapted in Song (although Clamavi de Profundis') version is although awesome and maybe most importantly about Eärendil and his yourney. I actually cannot understand why they didn't really mention him at all but made a whole song about Maeglin.

But now a cry went up, passing up the wind from the south from vale to vale, and Elves and Men lifted their voices in wonder and joy. For unsummoned and unlooked for Turgon had opened the leaguer of Gondolin, and was come with an army ten thousand strong, with bright mail and long swords and spears like a forest. Then when Fingon heard afar the great trumpet of Turgon his brother, the shadow passed and his heart was uplifted, and he shouted aloud: ‘*Utúlie’n aurë! Aiya Eldalië ar Atanatári, utúlie’n aurë!* The day has come! Behold, people of the Eldar and Fathers of Men, the day has come!’ And all those who heard his great voice echo in the hills answered crying: ‘*Auta i lómë!* The night is passing!’ Thank you Mr. Tolkien, we will always miss you.

Seems like in the first age of Middle Earth at least, the more pissed off an elf is, the closer they get towards the gates of Angband and Morgoth. :D That being said, rage is always tempered by destruction as seen time and time again in Tolkien's lore.

It might be prudent to point out that it was the betrayal of the traitor Easterlings that prevented the eastern host from reaching their target in time. This enabled the western host to be taunted and lured.

Massive video lads, loving it! Two minor corrections: yall mentionedd, when it comes to the caption of Hurin, that it was Melkors Trollguard but it was Gothmogs Trollguard if im not mistaken :) And yall said correctly that Beleg and Mablung went with Fingon, but the animation showed them joining Maedhros forces :) No big deal at all, video is 12/10 haha

[@bobjenkins9208]

Fantastic account of the battle, so much easier to visualize the actual flanking maneuvers tactics overall. Tolkien never did have enough maps. I love this series a great deal, and very much look forward to each new one as they come. The quotes are great, would love to see more thrown in, thanks so much guys.

[@Schmierhaar]

Great Video, one minor mistake though. In the Silmarillion, it is specifically mentioned, that Thingol forbid Mablung and Beleg to fight with the sons of Feanor, so they were part of the western hosts under Fingon. You placed them on the eastern side under Maedhros, wich contraticts Tolkiens writing.

[@wedgeantillies66]

Another compelling great video on the war of the jewels and one its most bloody and destructive battles. Problem was that the elves for all their strength and might could never win against Morgoth with the doom of manwae upon them. As to defeat the devil in god form, they needed the power and might of his fellow gods to defeat him, which they would only gain once they had absolved themselves of their former sins.

[@Minstrels-of-Middle-earth]

Nice work! I took a more emotional perspective when we tried to create a metal song about the Dwarves of Belegost in the Nirnaeth Arnoediad recently. That episode is one of the very highlights of the entire legendarium, for me.

[@richardthomas9497]

It should noted that Húrin and his brother Huor were the first Men to arrive in Gondolin, after being rescued by Thorondor's eagles. They were allowed to leave under an oath of silence by King Turgon, even though the law of the city forbade the leaving of outsiders once they entered.

[@kylemoore687]

Great video but you had a mistake in the visuals. You had Beleg and Mablung's icons in the East with the sons of Feanor. They were only given leave by Thingol to join the union under the condition that they were only to take up arms alongside the house of Fingolfin. So they should have been shown with Fingon in the Western host.

Hi. As shown in the video, beleg and mablung went to maedhroses host. They infact went to fingons, as thingol did not permit them to fight under a son of feanor

[@lisboah]

What always bothered in the aftermath of this battle is how both the Elves and the Valar unfairly treated the Easterlings and other tribes of Men from Middle-Earth. Yes, Ulfang's people betrayed the League of Maedhros, but Bór's people remained loyal and fought till the end. However, the Elves ceased all relationships with Men, aside from the Houses of Beor, Haladin and Hador, and the Valar forsook all Men from Middle-Earth. Because one clan betrayed them, the rest of the race of Men had to suffer. Is it any surprising that several clans of Men resented the Númenóreans and ended up joining Sauron during the Second and Third Ages?

[@MrRenanHappy]

The Valar abandoned Men from the start, left them to their own devices to stand against Morgoth on their own. Primitive Men trying to stand against Morgoth, which not even the Noldor could do in the peak of their might, it isnt surprising that so many were corrupted. Not only that, Eru himself punished Men for not being to withstand it. All in all, Men had the deck stacked against them, and it is surprising that so many living under the dark for generations still chose good.

[@lisboah]

@@MrRenanHappy That's true! The Valar pretty much favored the Elves from the start. Let's compare: The Valar went to war after knowing that Melkor captured and corrupted some Elves vs the Valar did nothing to prevent Morgoth from corrupting so many Men The Valar guided the Elves to Valinor in order to nurture them vs the Valar forbade Men from ever going to Valinor, including the Numenoreans, under the implicit threat of extinction The Valar kept aiding the Elves even after the Three Kinslayings vs the Valar never aided Men in general The Valar were willing to forgive the Sons of Feanor (aka the guys that commited three kinslayings and that stole two Silmarills) vs the Valar abandoned the Men from Middle-Earth because some of them bought into Morgoth's lies and joined the latter

[@gustavosimaca]

@@lisboah the men are not to inherit middle earth, their journey is in the afterlife.

[@Ishkur23]

@@lisboah Ah, but the men have the Gift of Iluvatar: Death. How is that a gift? Well, of all the races, men are the only ones who actually leave the world of Arda when they die. Where they go no one knows (not even Mandos), but the key thing is that they go somewhere special to be with Eru Iluvatar (Tolkien alludes this to be a secular form of Heaven). Elves, meanwhile, are stuck on Arda forever. They cannot get out and they won't ever be with Eru Iluvatar, which from a certain perspective is a fate worse than death. They have nowhere better to look forward to, when they die they go to the Halls of Waiting and wait until the end of the world which may take so long it might feel like meaningless eternity. The dwarves? They were made by Aule the Smith and so are part of the physical land. The elves believe that when the dwarves die they return to the stone from whence they came , but they are stuck on Arda like everyone else even though they don't go to the Halls of Waiting. The Varda are tied to the world as well. They accepted that fate when they chose to come down from the Heavens, to give up their celestial nature and become a physical part of reality. All other living things are of Arda, therefore they are Arda. The only thing that isn't is man, so both the Varda and the elves resent man for having this gift -- of joining Eru at the end when they cannot.

[@lisboah]

@@Ishkur23 That's true, but Men have no idea about this gift. And, even if they did, I think many of them would have preferred the gifts bestowed on the Elves, such as immortal life, stronger bodies and etc.

[@JohnnyElRed]

For all they imply to care about the people of Middle-Earth, the Doom of Mandos and the actions of other Valar seems to only hamper any attempt to stop the Great Enemy. They surely seem as imperfect Greek gods.

[@MicaiahBaron]

The logic seems to be that the Valar could easily overpower Morgoth again, and someday will; he won't win forever. But in the meantime they cannot let the Elves be the victors for fear they'll go on to become even worse in their arrogance; given that the entire thing started with mass slaughter just to get their way.

[@nonebusiness2023]

First bit is not true second bit is correct . hindsight 20/20 you also have to remember. Our understanding is by the account of the elves . We have only partial picture and partial picture of that..

[@lisboah]

Let's not forget that Turgon sent several times an envoy to Valinor in order ask the Valar for aid, and the Valar denied every turn. And yet, after all these attempts, Ulmo somehow expected them to listen to his warnings later on. This is like the opposite of the "The boy who cried wolf" fable.

[@Apollo1989V]

They are imperfect, yes, but they don’t screw with the lives like the pagan gods. Fëanor committed unspeakable crimes and made a terrible oath with his sons. In marching out to Middle Earth, Fëanor basically said that they don’t need the Valar. Ulmo tried his best to help the exiles, but pride and the Doom of Mandos worked against his efforts.

[@TimC1517]

I don’t think the Valar are very comparable to the Greek pantheon, the mistakes of the Greek gods were caused selfishly pursing their all too human desires, whereas the potential mistakes by the Valar come from sincere desire but imperfect understanding in following Eru’s will for his Children, especially in balancing their charge to care for the children while respecting the free will of the Children, and the consequences that came with it

Maybe one of my favorite things about the Nirnaeth Arnoediad is the build up in the Children of Húrin. The moments in Dor-Lomin where he rode of in hope, the beginnings of the battle where the armies of Fingon qnd Maedhros marched towards Thangorodrin when they realized Turgon opened the gates of Gondolin to come to their aid. It also has one hell of a quote: _Utúlie'n aurë! Aiya Eldalië ar_ _Atanatári, utúlie'n aurë! The day_ _has come! Behold, people of the Eldar_ _and Fathers of Men, the day_ _has come!' And all those who heard_ _his great voice echo in the hills_ _answered crying: 'Auta i lómë! The_ _night is passing!'_ which is paid of later perfectly with Hurin's cries of _'Aurë entuluva' Day shall come again_ Every time I read this part I hope the Elves could win and I am always heartbroken when I read further (Edit: Formatting)
