  • The Two Trees of Valinor lit the Middle-earth after the destruction of the Two Lamps and before the creation of the Sun and Moon. Their destruction led to much chaos throughout Arda. Thank you all so much for watching, I really hope you all enjoyed it! Let me know your thoughts about the Two Trees of the Valar in the comments. As always, a big thanks to the online artists whose visual works made this video possible! If you are one of the artists, please let me know and I will post your name and a link to your work in this description!

    I have learned so much about Middle Earth and I love your timeline series.
    I just can't help but think if the Valar were known to say Melkor is why we can't have nice things. He destroys the Lamps, he destroys some of the Elves, he destroys the Two Trees. Can't help but wonder if his influence in Middle Earth made Feanor the way he was.

    Beautiful video Yoystan!!!! Ya know when I first read The Silmarillion and first read the part of the Creation of them I honestly was just so blow away and was in complete awe and amazement of how they were created and how Tolkien described their beauty and shape and appearance it would have been a great honor to see those trees and once when I went to sleep once not long after reading the Silmarillion (for like the 50th time XD) and I had a dream about me being a Noldor Elf and standing in front of the Trees and feeling pure peace and amazement of their indescribable light and appearance and sang a Queynan song of joy and light it was a dream I honestly never wanted to wake up from but anyway loved this video and can't wait for the next one!!!! :)

      Luke Skywalker the 2nd you can see lots of parallels between the Silmarillion and Catholicism as you know Tolkien was a devout Catholic you can see how melkor is Satan and plagues the world but iluvatar like God allows it and has plans unknown even to the Ainur. It all ends a Dagor Dagorath.

    Hey man, love the video! Just wanted to comment on a pronunciation.
    You said "Ainulindale" around @1:31 a bit incorrectly. Took me a second to realize what you meant. The word is Quenya, and so the "e" at the end is not silent, nor is the last "a" long (following English rules.) You could kinda think "Ainulindaleh." You got it in "Manwe," kinda like "Manway/Manweh." Same idea.
    Also, more of an obnoxious nitpick, but the second "i" is pronounced more like a long "e" in English.
    Keep the videos coming though!

      I think he meant to say "Mae g'ovannen, mellon" which literally means "Well met, friend" in Sindarin (Language of the Grey Elves). Mae govannen (familiar) or Mae l'ovannen (formal) are equivalent to saying "Hello" or "Greetings."

    Great video! But I believe the stars were made by Varda from the dew of the two trees. This was because the light of the trees didn’t quite reach Middle Earth and Varda wanted there to be more light for the coming of Eru’s children.
    Little did she know, Eru would birth the Elves immediately after.

If I may propose a subject for a video just to ease you up (and something which i would love to see of course). Maybe you can make a video on the elven kingdoms in Beleriand (you know such as Menegroth or Nargothrond, or Gondolin). Or a video about the valar, whoe they are and what were they best at. Those are just suggestions of course. I wrote this comment just to show that i really enjoy what you do and your videos are both educational and time killers for Middle-earth lovers, such as myself.

    I think you should do a video about the “dark elves”, or the ones who didn’t see the light of the two trees. That would be awesome. :)

    weren't the mallorn trees of lothlorien somehow related to the two trees and therefor the seed that sam gets from galadriel was also a descendant of them. Not sure about this... Someone knows?
    Could you make a video about Durin?

    These videos are great! Maybe we could get a video of your thoughts on if the Arkenstone could be the Silmaril of Maedhros? Though I personally think it unlikely I have read interesting theories

    So after the destruction of the trees, it became impossible for any other elves to become high elves?
