If you enjoyed this and crave more, I highly recommend tuning in to the podcast. It's truly incredible, with captivating storytelling that delves so deeply into the books that I can't help but strongly recommend it!

Dude. The bright one is Venus, not Mercury.

@LordoftheRingsLorecast 4 ай бұрын

Dude. You're right. It also depends on if Venus has passed the horizon yet. If not, Mercury is often the first star-looking light we can see, just over the horizon near where the sun went down.

Last year I read almost everything except the histories of middle earth. Reading the same stories told completely different for the 3rd or 4th time was getting overwhelming and I needed a break 😅 I was surprised how much story predated what I saw in the movies and TV show. Believe it or not the TV show was what started my Tolkien bringe read last year. I'm in my 40s so you can never be too old to get into this stuff.

Following the pronunciation guide of LOTR appendices, Cuivienen might be pronounced as: Kuy-vee-ye-nen; as "C" always has the value of the sound "K", much like the "C" in "Celeborn", hence "Keleborn". The diphthong "ui" is "uy" AFAIK. Hope this helps. Awesome video.

Angband. Sauron manned Angband. It was Melkor's westernmost fortress.

I think 🤔 the bright star 🌟 near the moon 🌕 is usually Venus

@LordoftheRingsLorecast 4 ай бұрын

Yes, Venus is brighter. Mercury is closer to the sun and is often one of the first star-like lights in the sky. I also goofed by saying moon. Oops.

I know this video is about the Elves and the Valar. But watching this video (great video btw) just made me wonder why the Valar are so hands-on with the elves but not with man. Like were SUPER involved with the Elves and their development, but was there ever a time when they sought to know the second children of Illuvatar?

The morning star and the evening star reference the brightest planet, Venus, not Mercury.

@josephperry1168 3 ай бұрын

The morning star was NOT created at this time, the brightest star in this time was Hellion now identified as Sirius, the Dog Star.

Wasn’t orcs their own race ❓ Wasn’t it the Uruk-hai that were former elves ? 🧝‍♀️

@TheDJMeyer85 4 ай бұрын

Originally Tolkien said they were their own race but then he eventually changed that to orcs being former elves that were captured and tortured by Melkor. Uruk-hai were orcs crossed with goblins, I believe

⁠@@TheDJMeyer85I heard somewhere that goblins are orcs and orcs are goblins just different name for the same creature. Uruk ahai are orcs that were selectively bred by Saruman.

@LordoftheRingsLorecast 4 ай бұрын

@@TheDJMeyer85 Tolkien was never 100% sure exactly where the orcs came from. They went from being twisted and broken elves to elves and men to both of those ideas not feeling right to him later in life. The Uruk-hai were crossbred orcs with humans. The names Orc, Uruk, and Goblin are basically interchangeable but generally used to indicate different sub-breeds or groups.
