The Full History and Story of Moria (Khazad-Dum)

[@pim4686]

The information combined with the narration and artwork is such a treat! I hope you'll continue to make these videos for a long time to come

[@danhubert-hx4ss]

THIS!

[@Imontaldo91]

Congratulations! I must say your videos stand out as truly exceptional. Your natural talent for storytelling and mastery of language captivates audiences effortlessly. Your channel is a gem that every "Lord of the Rings" fan should discover and treasure. Keep up the remarkable work, for your content is destined to enchant viewers far and wide.

My thoughts exactly.

[@Cutsman562]

Truly blown away by the quality of your videos. Thank you for using your voice for the great imagination of all things Tolkien!

This is just a rehash of the novels. The artwork is good but also recycled. Other videos in this channel are much better.

I thoroughly enjoyed your narration of the poem snug by Gilmli. It was a treat to the ears. Thank you for creating another beautiful video. I love your work!!

[@justinah7400]

The War of Wrath happened at the end of the first age. The war did not take place in the second age. Good job with the channel so far, great writing and storytelling

[@CartoonHero1986]

I remember the first time I read the Silmarillion and got to the part of Nar and Azog speaking at the gates of Moria and actually got a little creeped out by the depiction of the scene. Azog just standing in the darkness unseen like a disembodied voice threatening Nar and the Dwarves while Nar is standing over the decapitated body of his High King tossed just outside the gates to get Nar's attention. Azog probably was one of the best users of psychological warfare among the Orcs and Goblins in the stories and it was effective on the reader as well.

[@justinah7400]

He learned from a true master of psychological warfare! The orc's were created by Melkor after all. Lol

[@koriw1701]

I really enjoy your new channel. Your voice is infinitely listenable and sounds more mature than others in this field. Perhaps it is a failing of mine, but having a mature voice reading Tolkien lends gravitas and experience to his work. Do you plan on discussing whether balrogs have wings?

[@kingban1613]

I know what you mean. Now I can't watch other Tolkien tubers after finding Realms Unravelled.

[@wuothanar3544]

[@dandes7113]

Fantastic job! More content dealing with ME history would be highly appreciated. And even more I appreciate you avoiding using Jackson’s visuals, which are quite common in other similar YT videos. Btw. Your channel logo is great. You might consider offering official merchandise such as t-shirts 😉

[@RealmsUnravelled]

Thanks very much! I actually designed it myself and will definitely consider doing merch. I hadn't considered it as I didn't think anyone would purchase it to be honest! And yes I very much agree about using PJ clips, or even worse RoP imagery!

Where is the video about the unnamed things that dwell below? The video said there was a link that's missing and I don't see it in the library of videos either.

[@bobblack4996]

Why would the name moria be inscribed on the western doors if the Moria only truly became its name post Balrog encounter? Or have I missed something critical?

[@rainwatereric]

These are better than watching Rings of Power!

[@TarMody]

Apart from being a raw material used in the manufacture of war equipment, what could lie behind Sauron's interest in Mithril and his desire to collect it?

[@bobblack4996]

The fact that he is a smith by training. He does value beauty; in a rather warped sense of the word and he is Covetous of power; with mitheral representing the material power base of the dwarves at their pinnacle.

[@TarMody]

@@bobblack4996 Sauron is a pragmatist character. I don't think he would have any interest in something where he doesn't see any metaphysical benefit.

[@Owlr4ider]

Mithril was the most expensive mineral in middle earth. Basically the equivalent of gold throughout most of human history. These days there are materials even more valuable than gold but gold has been the symbol of wealth throughout history. Gold did exist in middle earth of course, but was less valuable than mithril which was only found in the misty mountains.

[@billfred9411]

Its the best metal in existence so it shouldn't be a surprise someone like Sauron who is a smith would want it. Keep in mind a Mithril has been used in the creation of powerful artifacts including Galadriel's ring of power. Certain rare magical material can be turned into objects of world changing power if they fell into the wrong hands. This even ties into why it was so shocking to the elves when Galadriel gave Gimli some of her hair. An elf named Fëanor who is also a smith that makes some powerful artifacts asked for some of her hair and was refused because Galadriel knew he was just going to try and make an artifact out of it because it's rumored her hair holds the power of the two trees of Valinor. She freely gave it to Gimli because she knew Gimli's intention are pure and he was just going to turn it into a locket as a sign of peace and respect.

[@slackerpope]

Outstanding work! Thank you very much!!!

[@nekomimi5471]

Why would Narvi and Celembrimbor call it Moria when it wasn't called Moria until much later, after Celembrimbor died during the War of Elves and Sauron?

[@michaelnp2323]

Exactly. I always wondered about that. It is specifically mentioned that Moria was not the name given to Khazad Dum before after the desolation of the balrog. Moria meaning the black pit. Yet Celebrimbor and the dwarves applied the name at the height of Khazad Dum

[@KSkrode]

"Moria" originally referred only to the abyss at the bottom of Khazad-dûm, the Black Chasm, but once Durin's Bane was awoken and the dwarves lost the mine the entire place took on that name

[@venkelos6996]

Stuff in Moria is often some of the most "how did this detail fit?" in LotR. The Orcs looted the place, yet valuable items, like Durin's Axe, and Helmet, were just there, to be found. They discovered Balin's Tomb, but it hadn't been defaced, or desecrated. The book was there, and hadn't been lugged off for fuel. Moria was the greatest, and started by the First and Father, yet Durin, alone, had no wife. Who were the other Dwarves there? Eventually the two western Dwarven kingdoms fell, and their survivors came to Khazad-dum, but it was already big before that? What other Dwarves left their communities, and Clans, to journey to KD, and become Durin's Folk? It's mostly just me whining petty, but it still always left me with questions. I also wonder if any of the Gwaith i'Mirdain could have fled there, and taken shelter, after Celebimbor was slain, and later the Door was shut?

So the dwarves lived to the end of time to the end of middle earth? or did the kill themselves by not having enough children, I do know dwarves were notorious for not having many children. Due to that fact alot of their women look similar to their male counter part.

The Josstice League as a response to Batman v Superman is a good example of angry nerds making things worse. While BvS was obviously quite flawed, it was a film made by someone who knew what he wanted to do, but then the fans got so angry about certain parts of it that the Josstice League just ended up being this wet fart of a film made by committee

Tolkien intended that "dh" in Sindarin would be pronounced as in English "th" is said. No the narration is regrettably repeatedly incorrect.
