Rise of Melkor: The War of the Valar | Silmarillion Documentary

[@josebisk]

Probably the coolest lotr lore videos I’ve seen. One of the most impressive aspects of Tolkien’s lore/world building is its near Biblical scale. You’ve managed to capture that grandeur and you nailed the visuals and summarized it all in a beautiful, complete way.

[@TalesoftheRings]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@moussagalal70]

As an Egyptian devoted to Tolkien's work and as his translator, I am in awe of your creative work 👏

[@TalesoftheRings]

I'm so glad you like it

[@ashtonhaggitt216]

I almost skipped over this. So many bad recommendations by the algorithm gods, but this is just absolute perfection. I daresay Tolkien himself would blush. Thank you my friend and please continue!

[@TalesoftheRings]

Ahhh, there is no higher praise! Absolutely friend, I've just begun!

[@dorampmu]

Absolutely incredible work, would love to see lots more of this sort of first age middle earth visuals / story telling

[@TalesoftheRings]

Thanks! We are counting the story this Sunday!

[@EryichAra]

After a major frustration with ROP, this is so refreshing, thank you sir.

A documentary style telling of the mythology of the Silmarillion… well, it's about time.

[@strangerinwhite]

This is awesome

[@edit9246]

This project is absolutely incredible, I've dreamed of the community doing this one day! Congratulations to all the artists involved, the passion and vision behind these frames comes out of the screen. I can only hope further leaps on technology will make us able to recreate Tolkien's vision in audiovisual form.

[@TalesoftheRings]

Thank you 🙏

[@wulfshead]

Incredible. As is all your content.

[@Pete_Veee]

This is a fantastic description of the “Genesis” chapter of Middle Earth (Arda)! Wow! 🥺🤩🥰 Stunning visuals accompany perfect commentary. Musical score is sublime and adds emotion (heart/tension/hope/sadness/despair) to the story exactly as intended. Top notch production values! I would watch THIS story line 10 times out of 10 versus the Amazon debacle. It’s so true to the source material! Absolute brilliance. Bravo to all involved in bringing this production together!!! 10/10 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼💯 Why is this team not producing shows on Amazon?!!! 😳

[@TalesoftheRings]

Thank you for the beautiful words, it really means a lot ❤️

[@Gerbuho]

Great homage to the professor's work. This is mesmerising. 👍🏻 Instant sub.

Thanks 🙏

[@kirankumar9434]

As a longtime fan of Tolkien, I have been so happy to see this beautifully unique presentation on the origins of Arda-it makes me eager to see more videos about its history and lore, including that of Middle Earth

[@TalesoftheRings]

I'm so glad you like it 😁

[@richardsrichards2984]

the spring of arda....how beautiful....too bad the elves didnt even get to witness its grandness let alone men.

[@Gozerthegozarian1984]

Glad you think so!

[@terencegrey4136]

The sound edited in this video when Melkor flee was great calm me Melkor is really something else first and the Mightiest of the Valar really liked this video

[@ondrejjuricek]

I´ve been blessed by the mighty algorithm to find your channel. This is a real dream come true for any Tolkien fans. Love your work!

May the gods of the algorithm assemble the greatest host in Arda! Thank you ❤️

[@JACKAL98]

​@@TalesoftheRings For MIDDLE EARTH!!!

[@TalesoftheRings]

Algorithm!! 😂

[@crcurran]

When the Aiunur descended into Arda, it seemed like they were all playing in a sandbox. Like most groups of children there is always at least one in the bunch knocking over sandcastles that are not their own and throwing toys, water, whatever at the other toddlers. Someone needs a spanking.

[@adammoir7894]

Great visuals... There should be reference to the 3 Great Songs sung by All the valar and malar to the glory of Manwea...

[@treyowen9213]

I hold Tolkien’s work in the highest regard as I do with the Bible. I do wish however that Dagor Dagorath was given its own book. But sadly that will never happen. Revelation must be complete.

[@matusknurovsky2090]

[@TalesoftheRings]

Thank you!!!

[@benshields4320]

I’m just finding the first two videos of your Silmarillion documentary and look forward to the rest! It looks like the quality of your channel continues to improve. A suggestion: make a new documentary playlist with these first two videos and update it as you go! It will make the series easier to share.

[@TalesoftheRings]

Will do! Thanks a lot

[@scottgoeringer3023]

This is the best and most visually stunning telling of the story. Exceptionally created!

[@TalesoftheRings]

Thanks ❤️

[@LordVerdo]

Excellent video! And dare I say that the narrator sounds like Martin Freeman!

[@GRasputin91]

I love how they incorporate actual fan paintings into this. Gorgeous

[@istari0]

Another stunning visual experience! The visuals accompanying the narrative really bring the story to life! Would you consider at some point editing various videos together to make something along the lines of an actual movie?

[@TalesoftheRings]

I definitely have enough material for the one-hour-long "Of the Beginning of Days" documentary 😁 However, I still need to create a chapter specifically about the awakening of the elves and their migration.

[@CrimsonRaiderOiler76er]

@@TalesoftheRings would fall asleep to this countless times for countless nights, as would others im sure

[@sarge2742]

This has the feel of a documentary about ancient middle east and Biblical kingdoms , and somehow fits perfectly with the Silmarillion. Wonderful presentation, music, graphics, style. Well done indeed.

[@TalesoftheRings]

Thanks for support!

I am so impressed! Wheres my sword, I have to unsheath it and raise it up to you. Here here! Well done, sir. Well done.

Very, very good. I only wonder if you had added how Melkor was originally corrupted...the void itself outside of Eru's influence.

@Tales of the Rings Will you be continuing on from the point you left off? The awakening of the First Born, etc?

[@TalesoftheRings]

@@dmitrizverev3142 no sadly, next video is about the destruction of the two trees as the story I've begun is focused on Melkor. But I'm planning to cover migration in the near future. Just that will be a bit different with much more map movement as it will be boring to watch elves walk for nine minutes 😂

I keep hoping someone will produce series or movies about this era and follow the lore. I would pay a month salary to see that shit if it’s done correctly.

[@voodoochild1975az]

I've always said when discussing fantasy authors.... You have to pull Tolkien out, set him aside, he's in his own league. I actually suspect most fantasy authors would even agree with that. In my mind, a closer peer to Shakespeare than George R. R. Martin (and I LIKE Martin). What he created was so deep so well thought out, that we will be plumbing the depths of his writing for centuries.

[@TalesoftheRings]

You're absolutely correct! Tolkien's writing is so powerful and emotionally charged that I found myself shedding tears over parts that I've read at least ten times.

[@SussedRage]
