What did gandalf find in Dol Guldur

Not much is known from Gandalf's visit to Dol Guldur, what did he actually find there? This was a time when the fortress was inhabited by Sauron under his guise the Necromancer.
Stealthily moving through the shadowy corridors, Gandalf uncovers very unusal things in the dark citadel, gathering crucial evidence that would later fuel his urgent warnings to the Council.
This instalment is full of speculation and unproven theories, because that is what we like to explore on this channel! :)
This clip is part of the longer title "The Wizard Who Called Out Saruman. Middle-earth lore" • The Wizard Who Called ... But works well as a stand alone video as well.

I am astonished at the quality of these videos, the writing, visuals, and presentation are far more gripping than recent streaming productions pretending to be in the same world of Middle Earth.

[@numenorean81]

Thank you! I put a lot of time into these videos, so I can really appreciate your comment and it validates that something is working 😄

[@WooRidersDg]

Yeahhhhhhhh 😊

[@Cryton81]

​​@@numenorean81These videos are amazing! I can definitely tell you put some real effort into their quality. I'm dying waiting for the next part of the most recent Sauron video! Keep up the great work and thank you!

[@adrisan6296]

Amazing production. These are by far the best visually pleasing Middle Earth videos in the web

[@numenorean81]

Amazing comment, thank you :)

[@davechristoffersen6633]

Brilliant looking foward to the next episode

[@numenorean81]

Thank you, glad to hear that!

[@GentleReader01]

Well, I’m hooked, and subscribed. :) I just finished re-reading Lord of the Rings a couple days ago, so I’m really tuned in to all the Tollkienian details in phrasing. Excellent work. Also, some great sound effects!

[@numenorean81]

Thank you so much! This motivates me to keep improving

[@jannickpedersen546]

Erus unconscious thoughts created the name less beings Gandalf saw after he fell deep below khazar dun, just a theory though xD

[@anadmirer8789]

This style of menacing prose would’ve made H.P. Lovecraft proud.

[@numenorean81]

Thank you, what an amazing compliment!

[@jurajchobot]

@@numenorean81 Did you write it though? It was actually written really well and I was surprised such high quality story telling can be found on KZbin. Please don't tell me an A.I. generated the story 😬If this was a book, I would likely buy it and I am a picky reader. Works of Tolkien himself bore me, but this seemed to be written quite well. Maybe I should give Tolkien a second chance though. It's been over a decade since I gave Lord of the Rings a try.

[@numenorean81]

@@jurajchobot Thank you! I do write my own material. However I don't consider myself a "good" writer, just a lot of patience and then I can also manipulate a scene with a particular piece of emotional music to enhance the experience :) Without the music, these videos would be nothing. Do give Tolkien another go, I am currently listening to the Silmarillion, narrated by Andy Serkins, Tolkien's prose in this is very nice I think.

[@jurajchobot]

@@numenorean81 Maybe it was the music and visuals that made it so much more interesting, but I still think your writing is amazing. Maybe it was because of the similarity of mind, because I could kind of feel what was the intention behind even tiny details in phrasing. It made the story more interesting as I felt like I am being led by the author in the right way, forming a vivid picture of the place in my head that went beyond the physical, just as good writers should describe mythical places.

[@alexiachimciuc3199]

There Gandalf founds Amazon's script for Rings of Power! 😮

[@numenorean81]

😆

[@vicel7377]

A master piece...👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@AndrewB221]

Why do you think he fainted and a battle ensued in Magic and Galadriel casted him back to the Shadow in Mordor

[@numenorean81]

I am not sure you have the right time line here.

[@darrylzzz]

looking forward to the next video

[@AndrewB221]

Use that Organ called a BRAIN!

[@numenorean81]

trying to

[@docholiday1476]

You know I liked the narrative and most of the visuals but the AI version of Gandalf was good yet the eyes lacked life. It is something I really notice. The spark of life, light, sentience is just missing. Flat and soulless.

[@numenorean81]

I see your point exactly, it can be a struggle to get "enough" life into the characters, especially if they are animated. sometimes it is a miss.

[@vladimirdosen6677]

Insaneee!!!

[@AndrewB221]

Stick to Star Wars, it is also extremely exquisitely beautiful and massive and Lore and Homage is paid Respect to Tolkien by Lucas for FICTION! That is where their story line is based from, with Aliens and the Future!

[@numenorean81]

I am sorry to say but I pay very little attention to Star Wars. Never was my cup of tea.

[@madlipzjagd5378]

Good one...lol.

[@Mr.Feanor]

And you said that seriously?😮🤣🤣🤦‍♂️

[@26snoopy82]

Where did you get the cool creepy video from?

[@numenorean81]

A multitude of applications are involved. But for the imagery that was created with the help of Midjourney

[@thepyroguy624]

NeXT episode?

[@numenorean81]

Yes, I have it planned. So it will be coming.

[@drewrussell3721]

Why is Saruman going to lectures?

[@numenorean81]

He as holding A lecture.

[@boydpease4103]

Had to make it past all the vendors!!! Knock off: Magic Rings, Elf Robes, Brass Bittons, Moria Silver Nuggets, & vials of Dwarf Pool Water!

[@numenorean81]

What am I missing?!

[@BlackSkeletonDragon]

ohhhhhh, more, more....

[@AndrewB221]

Shame on all of you

[@numenorean81]

Ok

[@redbarchetta8782]

AI created content. No thank you.

[@numenorean81]

ok

[@thomassmith6232]

Lousy ending. Saruman's voice is supposed to be hypnotic and melodious. I also doubt he would use an excuse like that.

[@numenorean81]

It wasn't really an excuse, Saruman will actually be doing a lecture on Greenwood/Mirkwood, will post that video soon 😄

[@dronesclubhighjinks]

This is amazing! I’m sure this is a dumb question, but from where did you get this information? Was it in the unfinished tales? I only just found your channel now. 🙏🧝‍♂️💚

[@numenorean81]

Well, the information is very sparse regarding Dol Guldur, and that gives me room to speculate on what could have been found there. Thanks for watching!
