    Hey everyone, I am currently making a video on Elendil and noticed an error that I have made here and in other videos that I would like to amend! Elendil's father Amandil was the last lord of Andúnië in Númenor, not Elendil himself. Sorry about the mistake, thanks!

      That's essentially the point of Men, I suppose.
      Elves and Dwarves can perform varieties of magic, but Men (and Hobbits) kind of get the short end of the stick.
      Though they basically get all of Middle-Earth after they defeat Sauron, so that's something.

      There is an excellent ancient history of Bree in Fellowship of the Ring in the At The Sign Of The Dancing Pony chapter. Other than that there isn't much old lore about Bree, but of course there is plenty in the LOTR about events at Bree during the war of the ring.

    I love hearing the histories of middle earth , I just watched the extended versions of the Lord of the Rings trilogy, The Hobbit and its 3 films. I'm 73 and I read The Hobbit and Lord of the Rings over 40 yrs ago and read them at least 10 times and dreamed of the day someone would put them on film. I am happy that Peter Jackson was able to bring it to life, Some people I have talked to said he left out so much , if he had put everything in the movies we would all still be in the theater's watching them lol

    Grima: There were 3 who followed the wizard, a Elf, a Dwarf and a Man.
    Saurman: *sniff* You stink of horse... the Man... was he from Gondor?
    Grima: No, from the North. One of the Dunedian Rangers, I thought he was. His cloth was poor. And yet he bore a strange ring, two serpents with emerald eyes one devouring, the other crowned with golden flowers.
    Saruman: The Ring of Barahir, so Gandalf Greyhem thinks he's found Isildurs Heir, the lost king of Gondor. He's a fool, the line was broken years ago. It matters not, the world of men will fall.

    • @HighPriestFuneral
      @HighPriestFuneral 5 років тому +10

      I am really glad to see this comment. To me it showed that (movie) Saruman was having just the slightest bit of doubt, that for just an instant he reconsidered everything he had done and whether it was worth it. In the end he pushes back this lingering sentiment and assures himself that he has aligned himself with victory, even if Gandalf managed to recover the heir of Gondor.

    What I find interesting about this ring is that although in the films, Aragorn does still wear it with him throughout the series. But in the Books, he gives it to Arwen to promise her that they will be together once he has claimed the throne for Gondor/Arnor.

    • @raidensix
      @raidensix 5 років тому +2

      True. In the film, it was Arwen who gave a token Aragorn. Also, in the film Elrond was very opposed to Arwen and Aragorn's marriage to the point of wanting to send Arwen across the sea ASAP.

    It is often overlooked that Beren was most likely wearing the ring of Barahir during the quest for the Silmaril. Therefore it is safe to assume that the ring was touched by a Silmaril. That, and the fact that it was Elven-made, may have contributed to its physical endurance.

    I think there are some things in life you love and you don't and will never understand why you love them. You were made to love them by God. For me LOTR is that thing. as a young teen i read the Hobbit and the Trilogy that follows and i couldn't put them down (i remember getting so mad when my mother or father would call me for anything that stopped me from reading those books) I cannot wait to see these shows. The movies were amazing to me. The ideas that came from J.R.R. Tolkiens mind are so amazing. I say all the time if Tolkien died, went to heaven (and still wanted to work on Middle Earth) and God didn't allow him to i'd go straight to hell. Theres no way a god wouldn't let such a beautiful world be completed. His works are truly gifts to anyone who will take the time to read them and im shore the people creating the new shows are doing the most amazing job.

    The One Ring can change size of its own will. I thought that was why it slipped off Isildur's finger in the Anduin. To me, it makes sense that Isildur would've still had the ring of Barahir on his finger after he had been killed in the river.

  • @GregMadytinosOfficial
    @GregMadytinosOfficial 5 років тому

    Hi Yoystan. Your story regarding how the Ring of Barahir got to Rivendell after Isildur's death in the Anduin made me wonder. Wasn't Isildur's body recovered from the river? Could he not still have been wearing the Ring of Barahir? Only the One Ring was missing. The One Ring had a will be to lost by him and found later by others. It was trying to get back to its master. Could it have slipped off his finger due to that malice, leaving the Ring of Barahir to be recovered to his line? I'd love to hear your thoughts on this theory. Thank you as always for the great videos!

  • @daliborsimic6973
    @daliborsimic6973 3 роки тому

    The only ring that could be not under control was a The Ring of Barahir. But still The Ring of Barahir probably was a strongest one, even on Sauron Ring. Why... It is very simple. Sauron has put all of his malice inside The One to rule them all. The Ring of Barahir was not corrupted, and that is where true power begins. It is a story through all 3 ages....friendship between Elfs and Men at a start, later with Dwarves and Hobbits. Something that shared a pure power and energy of loyalty, love, devotion and friendship. From mine point of view... The Best ring at all.

    "No powers," but it does seem... "well preserved."
    Also it didn't get lost when The One Ring did so maybe it's more powerful... just... even more subtle?

      Finrod was the first of the Noldor who met the men of Bëor, yes indeed. He was the one that negotiated with Thingol to let the Men of Beor live in Dorthonion near Doriath's borders as he was both a nobleman and Thingol's grandnephew
