The goodest boy in Middle Earth.
I hope more people come to hear the story of this incredible hero
this is a very good what if tale
thanks friend!
This is wrong😂😂 Nothing that happens in those games are canon. Shelob is just a big spider.
Yeah, this One is Just a fan made tale
I think you’re wrong for exclaiming that, he clearly says it was from the games lore. You Fatty Lumpkin.
That's half right, but Shelob isn't just a big spider
@@donavonhoward114 i mean yeah she kinda is, I mean she's a descendant from Ungoliant but other then that, yeah pretty much just a big ole spider yuck
@@danwillburn while he does say it's from game lore, he didn't lead with it like he probably should have. You dog staring vanderbuck 😁
Use your own voice and add some personality and you will get some subs. Your vids are good but no personal added to it
I don't speak english that well to make a full video
I like turtles.
Are the arts and voice-over AI?
Yes sir
The nameless thing could beat tom in a 1 v 1
this battle would be epic!
While the AI art is ''relatively'' good, 95% aren't canon images nor have anything to do with the subject or character. It ruins it a tad since this is a canon lore video. Other than that good video. The Witch King is my favorite servant of Sauron. Apart from Saurman
Have added a few of your vudeos to my Tolkien Playlist. Its where I send friends who want to learn. I listen in the background while writing IEPs. A few of my middle school students really enjoy listning while they work in class. Great work.
thanks so much for your support friend! It means a lot of for me!!
The witch king has to be one of the best designs for an evil character ever
His villain aspect is so cool
This narrative would have been much better served with a map illustration, versus random AI-generated images of the characters named in it.
everyone always asks who are the blue wizards but not how are the blue wizards
thats true!
Could never have forseen?! My guy, the Dwarves fought an entire war against dragons two hundred years prior to Smaug attacking Erebor.
🎻
@@TalesOfTheRing I'm over here acting like I didn't find out about the war between the Dragons and the Dwarves three weeks ago. 😂
It would be an interesting character arch if Theo was promised his mother back by Sauron. It would explain his weakness to be defeated by a lady warrior.
That's an intriguing take! The idea of Theo being manipulated by Sauron with the promise of his mother's return would add an emotional and psychological layer to his story. It would frame his descent into darkness not just as a pursuit of power but as a tragic, misguided attempt to heal personal grief. This kind of vulnerability would make his fall all the more poignant and relatable. It could also serve as a compelling parallel to the Witch-King's arc, showing how Sauron preys on personal loss and ambition to ensnare his servants. If Theo's choices ultimately lead to his transformation into a wraith, his defeat by a lady warrior could symbolize the triumph of purity, compassion, and courage over deceit and despair-a thematic echo of Éowyn's confrontation with the Witch-King.
First. I would love a story about the origin of each of the Nazgûl
That would be an incredible story to explore! Tolkien left the origins of the Nazgûl deliberately vague, which makes them ripe for storytelling.
You kinda skipped over the major connection between the two lamps and the two trees
🎻
I feel like Middle Earth would benefits from Witchers. They could slay the Nameless things hehe
they could even use them haha
I love seeing your channel starting to grow keep up the great work!!
thanks my friend. Your support means a lot of
The Book of lost tales has sketches for a story set among the wild elves of Koivie-Neni, where an Avar named Nuin awakens the two first elf children, Ermon and Elmir and teaches them language, later men separate into evil men serving Morgoths servant Fankil and good men who stay by the elves, theres a great Battle, the battle of Palisor after which the different people flee and spead into all directions... this story reminded me much of the myths Andreth tells to Finrod, how her ancestors built Morgoth a large temple and worshiped him by human sacrifices... now with the three Elf-fathers we get another piece of the puzzle... despite coming from so different stages and times in Tolkiens work they strangely align into a whole picture.
HUMAN children! Ermon and Elmir were mortals of course! The story has a Wizard king named Tû or Túvo whi is ruler of the twilight-elves of the waters of awakening.Some believed Tû had once been abducted by Morgoth and been his pupil, however he does not seem to be an evil character, rather an isolationist who mistrusts the humans... Tolkien says the Avari were led by Morwe and Nurwe in his later writings though, no Elf-Wizard Tû, instead he briefly used the name Thu for a predecessor of Sauron with no known connection to the first elves, though he reminds me of Fankil a lot.
HUMAN children, not elves!
The story sketches from The Book of Lost Tales do indeed weave an intriguing narrative that aligns with later pieces of Tolkien’s legendarium. The tale of Ermon and Elmir, with their awakening and guidance by Nuin, offers a mythic origin for early interactions between Elves and Men, one that hints at the complex relationships and conflicts that would define Middle-earth’s early ages. The parallels to Andreth's recounting of her people's worship of Morgoth add another layer to this puzzle. It shows how Tolkien repeatedly revisited the themes of moral division, loyalty, and the influence of Morgoth across different times in his mythology. The Battle of Palisor could even echo the later struggles of the Free Peoples, showing an early form of the alliances and betrayals that would recur throughout Middle-earth's history. As for Tû or Túvo, his role as a "Wizard King" of the twilight-elves feels like a precursor to the later depiction of Sauron’s manipulation or the isolation of the Avari. It’s interesting that you link him to the isolationist tendencies Tolkien later assigned to certain Elves like the Avari under Morwë and Nurwë. While Tû’s mistrust of Men fits with the theme of estranged peoples, it’s fascinating how Tolkien later shifted the narrative to integrate broader themes of rebellion and estrangement in Middle-earth's cosmology. The early drafts, while often differing from the later Silmarillion canon, reveal how Tolkien was constantly refining his mythology. The overlaps you’ve pointed out-between Nuin, Fankil, and Thu-suggest that Tolkien was working through ideas of betrayal, loyalty, and the manipulation of early peoples. It’s incredible how these fragments, when pieced together, create a mosaic of Middle-earth’s history.
A lot of unsubstantiated speculation. We see a lot of that with the blue wizards, not helped by Tolkien's own indecisiveness. It usually falls into they either turned evil like Saruman, they died trying like Gandolf (the gray), or they got distracted like Radagast. But why does it have to be like that? Remember the wizards were emissaries of the Valar they served and brought their attributes. Radagast came from Yavanna and loved nature, Gandolf came from Varda and brought wisdom, patience, and empathy. Saruman, like Sauron, came from Aule and liked building and order. The blue wizards though... <chuckles> the blue wizards came from Orome, the hunter. He liked going out at night, hunting down monster, and killing them. It was while doing so he found the Elves and taught them. While the other Valar debated on what to do he left and guided them westward. He and Tulkas were suspicious of Melkor even after he had done his time in the halls of Mandos and been released. When Melkor and Ungoliant stole the light of the trees it was Tulkas and Orome that gave chase. Morgoth feared Orome (and Tulkas). He was strong, brave, and fearless but still just and kind, he wasnt afraid to get his hands dirty. I see no reason to not think the blue wizards wouldnt mirror their patron. In fact when the first was recruited for this quest he asked the other if he wanted to come along and the answer was (apparently) some version "hell yeah, Im in" Why does their fate have to mirror the other three? Maybe they helped the eastern and southerners defeat Sauron and stayed to remain teachers and protectors. "Valinor is kind of boring, we can do more good here." Heck, they could have even split up. One going south and one going east. They might not even have seen each other for centuries. We simply dont know. As for the "only corrupt men to the east", rubbish. 4 of the 7 houses of Dwarves were there. Who knows how many Elves were also to the east. It was hardly just men. Infact, like the real world, there were probably more men, elves, and dwarves to the east than to the west.
You bring up some really interesting points! I love the idea of the Blue Wizards mirroring Oromë’s traits-strong, fearless, and proactive. It’s refreshing to think that their fate doesn’t have to mirror the others. If they embodied Oromë’s spirit, it makes perfect sense they could have stayed in the East or South, hunting down darkness and empowering the people there. And you’re absolutely right-there were Dwarves and possibly Elves in the East, so their mission wouldn’t have been limited to Men. Maybe they did exactly what you said: split up, helped various peoples resist Sauron, and stayed to guide and protect them. There’s so much room for possibility here, and that’s what makes their story so fascinating-it’s a blank canvas for imagination.
The important thing is the wealth they weren’t born, which means they were there at the creation of the Earth. They were not destroyed. All the lamps were tipped over to the world.
I much enjoyed this story of what may have happened to the blue wizards and what they faced. I wonder if Tolkien intended to write about it one day. Any letters on this?
Thanks friend. As i know Letters 156 and 211
@TalesOfTheRing thank you!!
Tell us your thoughts on Tom Bombadil, or The Witch King Of Angmar!
I have 2 videos of Tom Bombadil in my channel!! I will make on of the Witch Kings soon as possible, special for you!
I like your channel. I like the imagery. Please keep making more!
Thanks for the support my friend!!
I like the narrative but there are inacuracies
AI needs coaching on pronunciation
the voice in the new videos pronounce some of the words better
Good job really then, that Tom, an embodiment of the natural world itself is far too amorally detached from Ea's sentient humanoid races narrower drives and preoccupations. So remains substantially aloof rather than taking on the role of a sort of sporadic but irresistible deus ex machina. Or LoTR would've told a far shorter, duller tale than it actually did.
Exactly! Tom’s detachment from the narrower ambitions of Middle-earth’s races is crucial. If he had become a deus ex machina, the story would have lost its depth and tension. His aloofness allows the Free Peoples to face their struggles, make their choices, and grow through hardship. Tom’s role as a passive observer ensures the tale retains its richness and complexity, making The Lord of the Rings the epic journey we cherish.
I love the portrayal of Shelob in the Shadows of Mordor game
One of the Best games of all time
It always amazes me that the Creator of whatever universe exists is always male, in a time before male and female were even concepts. Tolkein was as male supremacist as any religion.
Much of TOlkien's own universe comes from the Bible itself
You do know that there are several religions and mythos where the first deity/creator is female, right?
Ea, the universe. Arda, the world. Middle Earth, a continent. Eru, god. Valar, archangels. Maiar, angels. Melkor an archangel, Lucifer.Valar. Manwa. An archangel, Michael.Valar. So very Catholic.
Morgoth is a Valar nuff said 😏
a very powerful one
If only Elves and Men would have consulted Tom seriously..but alas as in this world, their world learns from karma born of greed and perhaps there is a reevaluation and choices are very different in the future.
If only they had sought Tom’s wisdom, Middle-earth might have avoided so much suffering.
It could just be me but I feel like I'm just hearing the same thing repeated over and over just in different ways.
Wow Tolkien’s world is so detailed.
The Best Storyline of all time
Why didn’t Durin’s Folk ask Glorfindel to slay Durin’s Bane
That’s a great question! Glorfindel, being one of the few Elves with the power and experience to face a Balrog, might seem like a natural choice. However, there are a few reasons why Durin’s Folk likely didn’t seek his help. First, the Dwarves of Khazad-dûm were proud and independent. They may have viewed the Balrog as their own problem to deal with, especially since Khazad-dûm was deeply tied to their heritage. Asking an Elf for help-especially a High Elf of Rivendell-might have felt like undermining their own strength and honor. Second, there’s the issue of timing and secrecy. The Dwarves likely didn’t know what Durin’s Bane was until it was too late, and by the time they fully realized the threat, Khazad-dûm was lost. The Dwarves who survived likely fled without knowing the full extent of the creature's power, let alone its exact nature as a Balrog. With the depths of Khazad-dûm sealed, the Balrog was more of a forgotten terror than an immediate danger until it was disturbed by the Fellowship. Finally, Glorfindel’s focus was on protecting Rivendell and aiding the Free Peoples in the fight against Sauron. Even if he knew about the Balrog’s presence, seeking it out in the depths of Moria would have been a risk he couldn’t afford, especially with Sauron’s forces growing. So, the Dwarves and Elves each dealt with their own challenges, and the Balrog of Moria remained a hidden terror until Gandalf encountered it.
For me- Tom represents an echo of the song of iluvatar, a reflection / ripple in the pond that attempts to stabilize creation by providing a constant anchor to the harmony that was just as the discord attempts to overrun iluvatar’s song (which is creation, not necessarily good or evil as he also created Melkor and allowed him to live).
That’s a beautiful thought! Seeing Tom as an echo of the Song of Ilúvatar-a living harmony that keeps Middle-earth grounded-is perfect. He’s like a constant presence of balance, resisting the chaos Melkor introduced but not actively opposing it, embodying the purity of creation itself. He’s there to remind us of what Middle-earth was meant to be, untouched by power, simply existing as a part of the original song.
where there is light there is also darkness, and the gods use it to refine & define a soul a conscious choice, i guess in that Universe and this one, they find it useful
@@klani1309 Beautifully said! Light and darkness, both in Tolkien’s universe and ours, serve as contrasts that shape choices and forge character. The existence of both isn’t just conflict-it’s a tool for growth, refinement, and defining one’s true self. The gods (or Eru in Tolkien's world) seem to use this duality to create depth and meaning, making every choice significant.
"If frogs had wings they wouldn't bump their ass."
Haha, exactly! It’s a fun way to say that things are what they are, and changing one detail doesn’t always change the whole picture-or in other words, some things are just meant to be the way they are!
