The Rohirrim are some of my favorite people from Middle Earth. Their love of horses is admirable and their resilience against overwhelming enemies is awesome! Thanks a lot, WAW!

1:11:27 A rather Underrated Line. "Out of doubt, out of dark to the day's rising I came singing in the sun, sword unsheathing. To hope's end I rode and to heart's breaking. Now for wrath, now for ruin and a red nightfall! Ahahaha!" "These staves he spoke, yet he laughed as he said them. For once more lust of battle was on him, and he was still unscathed, and he was young, and he was king, the lord of a fell people. And lo, even as he laughed at despair he looked out again on the black ships, and he lifted up his sword to defy them. And then wonder took him, and a great joy, and he cast his sword up in the sunlight and sang as he caught it. And all eyes followed his gaze, and behold! upon the foremost ship a great standard broke, and the wind displayed it as she turned towards the Harlond. There flowered a White Tree, and that was for Gondor, but Seven Stars were about it, and a high crown above it, the signs of Elendil that no lord had borne for years beyond count. And the stars flamed in the sunlight, for they were wrought of gems by Arwen daughter of Elrond; and the crown was bright in the morning, for it was wrought of mithril and gold. Thus came Aragorn, Son of Arathron.

I have often cited this paragraph to be my favorite scene in the books. Such a buildup of tension, despair and defiance, only for Eomer to realize who it is in the ships. And then this bit: "Thus came Aragorn son of Arathorn, Elessar, Isildur’s heir, out of the Paths of the Dead, borne upon a wind from the Sea to the kingdom of Gondor; and the mirth of the Rohirrim was a torrent of laughter and a flashing of swords, and the joy and wonder of the City was a music of trumpets and a ringing of bells. But the hosts of Mordor were seized with bewilderment, and a great wizardry it seemed to them that their own ships should be filled with their foes; and a black dread fell on them, knowing that the tides of fate had turned against them and their doom was at hand. East rode the knights of Dol Amroth driving the enemy before them: troll-men and Variags and orcs that hated the sunlight. South strode Eomer and men fled before his face, and they were caught between the hammer and the anvil. For now men leaped from the ships to the quays of the Harlond and swept north like a storm. There came Legolas, and Gimli wielding his axe, and Halbarad with the standard, and Elladan and Elrohir with stars on their brow, and the dour-handed Dunedain, Rangers of the North, leading a great valour of the folk of Lebennin and Lamedon and the fiefs of the South. But before all went Aragorn with the Flame of the West, Anduril like a new fire kindled, Narsil re-forged as deadly as of old; and upon his brow was the Star of Elendil." Just... Wow.

“Arise, arise, riders of Rohan! Fell deeds awake, fire and slaughter! Spear shall be shaken, shield be splintered! A sword-day, a red day, ere the sun rises! Ride now, ride now, ride to Gondor! Death!”

[@jeffcordova9633]

For GONDOR!!!!!

[@tylerhampton1]

This is definitely going to be better than the show.

[@emerestthisk990]

Good stuff the production quality of this is top notch.

[@Emanon...]

*"Where was Gondor when the Westfold fell?"* Two things, Theo, old boy: 1. Did you in fact _ask_ Gondor for help? 2. Where was _Rohan_ when the Westfold fell?

[@Unammedacc]

Is Dune somewhere on the schedule for SciFi lore ?

[@the_feedle]

I was asking myself the same

[@barftrooper102]

Dune blows

[@Richard.Vox.]

Dune lore is weaker than LOTR. Hell it's weaker than even my little pony.

[@ARandomLetterA]

They should try the wars in the Transformers universe.

[@D.U.O]

It would be the only way I could give a shit about Dune lol

[@danielsantiagourtado3430]

Thanks For this! Love your content guys ❤❤❤

[@ivanivanovic5586]

Interesting to see the differences between the books(haven't read those, yet) and jackson trilogy(I knew he had to cut some corners/shorten/omit things somewhere so overall scenario would fit the still lengthy runtime).

[@ww2fromthefields872]

If that was the other Faramir we all know I think his father would have been happy 13:10

[@lordoblivion8038]

When what if alt history just like Mongols 🤔🤔🤔🤔

[@noahtylerpritchett2682]

I will often assume that many of the northmen who moved into Anduin from Rhovania some stayed behind and when many Of the Anduin northmen moved to Rohan some stayed behind. It would be impossible for ALL of them to move. Look at the Saxons and Danes, some stayed in Germany and Jutland, not all of them moved into Britain for example.

[@rohanpatel7472]

History of me? Why thanks ☺️

[@derda5110]

Nice

[@marcbartuschka6372]

IThe Rohirim are together with the dwarves my favorite faction of the "good" nations of LotR. It is however sad that in the new film they seem to habe made Helm Hammerhand nicer than he was. I mean the guy was a racist brute who broutgh despair and harm upon his family and his people with no reason. As your video shows Wulf had very good reason to strike against Rohan - I mean its king murdered his father and drove him and his kin of their home just for an insult (after he insulted Wulfs father first). Less the action of a good or just king, more that of a tyrrant.

[@iloveplayingpr]

When fan-made content is more faithful to the source material.

[@RilfDanielson]

We surely must have skipped a story somewhere in the middle here about a girlboss queen for rohan named hera? /s

[@benji285]

(Non)fanfiction dude. Terrible modern (non)fanfiction.

[@markgregorygacosta531]

that's a self insert by the writer philipa boyens. Hera was never even named by Tolkien. And Hera is a Greek name, not even Germanic/Nordic which LOTR is based on

[@theawesomeman9821]

I heard an anime adaptation of this is being made

[@Vonihidilix]

Is it the new content, or re release old series in one video?

[@arbpaninken6719]

The first 15 minutes or so is new content

[@KroiAlbanoiArbanon]

Please do some tarzan and john carter videos.

[@benji285]

Is there really enough geopolitics in the Tarzan novels for it to be relevant? (I know little about it) Wouldn't it be better to have videos on the Pellucidar saga?

[@KroiAlbanoiArbanon]

@benji285 No need for war. A good story is a good story. Plus John Carter has some epic battles.

[@benji285]

@@KroiAlbanoiArbanon Yep, I agree for John Carter.

[@KroiAlbanoiArbanon]

@@benji285 John Carter is soo overlooked and underrated. I would kill for an AC,witcher,prince of persia video game style with John Carter. Same with Tarzan.

[@dannyboiz07]

GROND

[@Marcusmanca]

[@foxx1111]
