We are thrilled to present Keep On Tolkien Podcast's 100th Episode!

Hold onto your butts because this series is going to be lore heavy!
We begin our series with Tolkien's great love story, and the most fairytale-esque of all his works: the tale of "Beren and Lúthien"! Of the Three Great Tales, this story had the most significant changes over the years. Tune in as we begin by covering the Canon version of this tale found in the Silmarillion!

    The Palantir, in canon, iirc, are keyed to each other so pretty much anyone can use them to communicate with another of the seven. But, those of strong will can use them to see other things. Including the past and the future.

    I made an awesome title for an episode! Rings of Power: Brokeback Misty Mountains! In this episode, not-Gandalf falls in love with not-Frodo and they make deep, magical love. And not-Gandalf finds his magical staff up not-Frodo's butt.....what, you don't like the storyline? Then you're a homophobe and need to be canceled!

    i feel like its fine for them to say that perfection has been brought to Middle-earth, because to me it seems like the creation of the Elven rings was an act of hubris, especially in light of this passage in letter 154. though this further highlights imo a misstep of the show, with the Rings being more of a staving-off-literal-corruption tool instead of a way to postpone the weariness of the world that was felt by all Elves eventually but most keenly by the Noldor at this point. "Some reviewers have called the whole thing simple-minded, just a plain fight between Good and Evil, with all the good just good, and the bad just bad. Pardonable, perhaps (though at least Boromir has been overlooked) in people in a hurry, and with only a fragment to read, and, of course, without the earlier written but unpublished Elvish histories. But the Elves are not wholly good or in the right. Not so much because they had flirted with Sauron; as because with or without his assistance they were **'embalmers'** [emphasis mine]. They wanted to have their cake and eat it: to live in the mortal historical Middle-earth because they had become fond of it (and perhaps because they there had the advantages of a superior caste), and so tried to stop its change and history, stop its growth, keep it as a pleasaunce, even largely a desert, where they could be 'artists' - and they were overburdened with sadness and nostalgic regret. In their way the Men of Gondor were similar: a withering people whose only 'hallows' were their tombs. But in any case this is a tale about a war, and if war is allowed (at least as a topic and a setting) it is not much good complaining that all the people on one side are against those on the other. Not that I have made even this issue quite so simple: there are Saruman, and Denethor, and Boromir; and there are treacheries and strife even among the Orcs."

    I am 87 and live in the great city of Beaconsville, IA. Fellas, I was initially turned off by the garish colors ya'll have on. I see lots of different shades of beige, a blinding shade of teal, a shirt with multiple cats on it, and that curly haired feller even has a Star Wars shirt on (I take it he's a Reagan fan?). Anyhows, I thought about it, and even though you boys are much too flashy and presentable looking for me, I won't judge a book by its cover. You boys keep looking sharp. From one Harry Potter fan to another 👍

    So in the prologue we are shown it's the dawn of the second age..when Halbrand meets Galadriel you just have to put two together..also before the camera cuts it looks exactly like Gollums cave where he hid for 500years.. so 500years?

    If Sauron were to to hit Prince with his mace, Prince would simply come back as a symbol, but without the constraints of any contract spells, and would wield such unimaginable power that, based on golden ticket magic alone, would smote Sonyron (👀) upon the nearest mountain of disillusioned fans. Surely? 🤷🏻‍♂️😆😆

    Gandalf doesn't just get extra lives, guys. He does, that one time, in the third age, but that's for an Eru sanctioned specific reason. This won't wash in the context of a cross-literary wizard battle, I'd venture to suggest. 👀

    Tolkien often doesn't say how big things really are, or how they really look. Like, could someone say how big a balrog is by reading LOTR? How tall is it? How wide are its wings etc? And the same for appearance - Tolkien often says things like "gandalf seemed to glow" or "the ring seemed to shrink"...and you can never tell if it's real or just someone's perception.

    I'm pretty sure the G in Giles is pronounced as a J, like the first G in gigantic. People in the UK say "farmer Giles" to refer to any generic unnamed farmer, like they might say to their kids "don't go across those fields because farmer Giles will set his dogs on you" etc

    I love this podcast. Quick observation about lithlad...unless I'm mistaken you're describing it as being in the south of Mordor around the sea of nurnen, and this does make sense to me. But if you look in the encyclopedia of Arda they have lithlad in the far north of Mordor.

    • @keepontolkienpodcast963
      @keepontolkienpodcast963 Рік тому

      You're right! We were going off of the map of Mordor provided in Karen Wynn Fonstad's Atlas of Middle-Earth (pg 92), but The Encyclopedia of Arda does state that Lithlad is "a plain that lay in the north and east of Mordor, connected to the Plateau of Gorgoroth". The Encyclopedia of Arda also says "we know that it lay to the east of Barad-dûr, and it seems to have represented the eastern parts of Mordor's northern plateau, above the point where that land descended into the more fertile lowlands of Nurn." I wonder if Karen may have gotten it wrong? Or perhaps the map was just poorly marked? Her map seems to show Lithlad right next to the land of Nurn on the east side. I wonder if she meant that to cover the entire eastern and northeastern portion of her map of Mordor? Either way, a very good catch! It would seem mythological geography is hard to nail-down sometimes lol
