Wizards and Warriors animated fantasy documentary lore video series on the world of Middle-Earth - Lord of the Rings continues with a our first video on the First Age, as we discuss the creation of the world of Tolkien, its powers and races and we see how and why the Elves became the enemies of the Dark Lord Melkor, who they called Morgoth, after their leader Fëanor cursed him for killing his father Finwë and stealing his prized possession - Silmarils. In this episode we see how the evil first rose in the world of Arda and will talk about Ungoliant and other evils, about the Valar and Maiar, about the Elves and their sub-groups - Vanyar, Ñoldor, Teleri, and Avari.

UA-cam algorithm kinda dislikes us right now, but you can turn this around by liking, commenting and sharing. Please, do that. :-)
The algorithm must be a secret servant of Morgoth.
Oof 😅
And in the first age Mogroth created the you tube algorithm to plague the pepoles of arda
does youtube explain themselves or is this just a blatant attempt to keep all the ad money for themselves?
You got to e kidding me why in the world are they trying to strangle content?
No matter how goth you are, Melkor is Morgoth.
😲
Bro really had "goth" in his name.
What an edgelord.
🤯

... Take your thumbs up and go.
It's interesting how in most stories about elves and men there's usually some single war or petty politics that divides the two races, but in Tolkien's lore it's interwoven into the very creation myth of the two races. The elves believe that men are put above them in the eyes Iluvatar since "men will play a great role in Ilvutar's final song" and that the world, a beautiful and wonderous place, would be their birthright which the elves resented bitterly. Meanwhile the race of men was like "Oh, so you guys get eternal youth, great gifts from the Valar, and incredible magic, but somehow YOU all are the put upon ones. Boo frickity hoo."
It's very much like two siblings squabbling over who's got it better
The elder one resenting the younger for being distant daddy's favourite, and the younger one resenting the elder for being foster aunts' and uncles' favourite.
I like this reading
Had you thrown in the dwarves as the middle child, I would not have objected in the least.
@@CodeRonin42 dwarves are adopted cousins
@@CodeRonin42 *adopted child
The algorithm is a shallow and capricious god. And, can't say why, but I get the sensation that you aren't very satisfied with its work.
The Silmarillion is really funny sometimes..
Morgoth, mightiest of the valar, visits Feanor at home.
Feanor: *just shuts the door and yells "Go away I dont buy anything"
No, thank you. We don’t want any more visitors, well-wishers, or distant relations
...later..Feanor tries to go to Morgoths home and fight him but gets jumped by Balrogs and is mortally wounded, at the steps of Morgoths stronghold, didnt even get to fight him. Also, Ecthelion of the Fountain fought 1 vs 1 with that same Balrog, Gothmog the lord of all balrogs and Ecthelion slayed Gothmog as well as 3-4 other Balrogs. Feanor was overrated and caused more hurt than help. Yes silmarils, yes, thats all. How many of his own people did he and his brothers kill? or trap in their oath? Worthless, that was the point Tolkien was making, beware hastily oaths made in anger for one.
@@MrSneaksful Feanor certainly is a bad person but his feats shouldn't be denied. He fought multiple Balrogs including Gothmog alone.
@@MrSneaksful Feanor was angry that morgoth had killed his father. Saying that he's bad because his speech inspired his brothers to follow him to their deaths is a very simplistic and disingenuous interpretation.
Feanor: "GET OFF MY LAWN!"
The coolest thing about Tolkien will always be that he imagined Middle Earth being created in a huge musical number!
“Eru Iluvitar: Superstar”
and the funniest thing will always be that Melkors first great sin was being that annoying asshole refusing to sing along with everyone else and instead sing "SMOOOOOOOKE ON THE WAAAAAAAATEEEEEER!" really off key.
No he didn't. These themes were pure music in an abstract timeless hall. There was 'number.'
@@thuzan117 I am in awe at your level of humor
Morgoth invented Mumble Rap
The story of Melkor making his discordant music in the beginning is just like any rebellious teenager blaring music from his room that his parents think is crap and too loud
Feanor's oath still gives me chills.
To me, it was the Prophecy of the North.
When Mandos speaks, shit gets real.
Ooh boy here we go, First Age time. While I admit I’m not an avid fan or consumer of the Legendarium stuff, First Age stuff has always fascinated me on a lore level because of how in-depth it is as being the origin of everything.
but it is simple and childish....I never liked lord of the rings....I watch this videos only to support the channel....but reading tolkin was fine as a kid but as a grown up it is simple world of black and white....and just like in the real world last century and today east is portrayed as evil and west as paradise with middle earth in problems.....never understood why grown people like it soo much when it is soo simple....try Mo Jen books...."Tired of life and death" is one of his best works....there is nuance in characters....but in lord of the rings there is only greed and evil urging it or pure good...and the worst part of the story of the before and during first age is that no one has realized that Eru iluvatar said to Melkor his disruption is the plan of Eru iluvatar. Eru iluvatar also made Melkor the strongest one....13 valar needed to win over one....and he gave melkor ambition, greed and everything else...that wasnt balanced creation.....Eru iluvatar is like god people on earth believe in...a piece of s..t...melkor is pandoras box and a gift from god
The Zeroeth Age, as the Powers fought to build the world...there's a story.
@@n.v.9000 you're pathetic. Compared to most fantasy stories, Middle Earth isn't simple. It also isn't allegorical. You make it an allegory, that fault is on you. Aside from that, the author you mentioned doesn't even write compelling fantasy.
Epic representation of the oath of Fëanor! Can't wait for the Battle of Unnumbered Tears!!! Don't mind the algorithm, this is wonderful.
Corrections:
-Melkor's character is oversimplified. He was not born evil, this goes against one of Tolkien's key philosophical ideas which is evil only comes from things that were once good. Melkor's only intention in the Ainulindale was to create something he could call his own. He knew that he was the mightiest of the Ainur, so he believed that he should be able to make his own things. Eru, however, scolded Melkor by saying that Melkor is just an extension of Eru's mind, and that he basically has no free will. This angered Melkor so much that he made his life's goal to corrupt and destroy everything the Valar created because he saw them as usurpers to his rightful authority.
-The colors Illuin and Ormal shone are speculation based off of the etymology of the words. Illuin means "sky-blue", so that may have meant that its light was silver/blue, but we really don't know.
-Aman is the name of the continent created after the sundering of the two lamps, while Valinor is the actual realm of the Valar upon the continent. Nitpicky I know but still.
-The story of the Sindar is too oversimplified to be considered accurate. The elves that came to occupy Doriath were elves that followed Elwe after he met Melian in Nan Elmoth.
-Not enough emphasis on Melkor's own desire of the Silmarils and that much of his focus was on Feanor because of this. It was Melkor's theft of the Silmarils that drove Feanor to forsake Valinor.
-Feanor's confrontation with Fingolfin was more or less caused by Melkor claiming that Fingolfin planned to usurp the High Kingship of the Noldor from Feanor, along with the theft of the Silmarils of course.
-The location of Ungoliant's attack on Morgoth is inaccurate. This took place in a valley called Lammoth in the northwest of Beleriand, not in Ard-Galen.
-The pronunciation of names and words makes it well known that the narrator has no clue about what he is talking about. Whenever there is an e with an umlaut over it it is pronounced as "ay" like in "day". He pronounces Manwe correctly, but then proceeds to pronounce every other name with umlaut e at the end as a long "eeee" sound, which is not correct.
sometimes it really annoyes me how oversimplified this middle earth videos are at this point it's so oversimplified that it can be called not accurate
Love the art in the videos! ^^
Awesome video, keep it up! Just few tiny mistakes in pronouncing (Avatahar-Avathar) and part where Ungoliant attacked Melkor were wrong but I love this 😁
Love this content! Thanks so much for starting to cover the first age!
I love kings and generals, and seeing that formula applied to fantasy stuff is a dream.
UA-cam is quit the monster, but I guarantee this channel will grow. From acorn to sprig to giant tree-man of doom. Shelob's mother, Ungoliant, is hinted at being from space, something foreign even to the gods, which makes it even more terrifying.
she is more like ctulhu
Very excited for the upcoming videos of the first age! Great video as always.
Always look forward to look to this channel videos, Down to the algorithm!
YESSSS!!! I asked for this on the very first Wizards and Warriors video. And now it is here.
Thank you!!!
Great to see the first age. Got some of the greatest battles and stories so should be a perfect match for the channel.
Don't worry fellas, this is honestly the best channel for this type of content.
this was an incredibly good video!
Your channels (all of them) are awesome.
Great stuff indeed. First Age has always been my favourite… keep them up 😄
Can’t wait for the next video!
Amazing videos! Thank you so much for doing this !!
And Kings and Generals did swear a mighty oath against the Algorithms, damning it, and all of its subsidiary channels, for all time.
That was great! Thank you!
I love the vids keep up the good work
I remember my father telling me Tolkien stories in simplified way when i was little kid. Good stories from another time...
Nice video as always
I loved your prior episode on the first age. I'm sorry if it has been removed due to the unholy actions of "The Algorithm". But know that though that first light shone bright, this new emergence of the 1st age is better. Though you may have always planned to do more detail, this one does the Simarilon due justice in my opinion.
I love this channel with all my heart
All hail the Algorithm! Allegedly. I'm not a fantasy fan, but Wizards makes it palatable for a grognard. Hell, I even hit the like button before viewing because I know W&W will deliver quality. Cheers.
Only a small fraction of the Ainur descended into Ea. The rest just stayed in the timeless halls or whatever it is called that exists literally outside of the entire universe
awesome video as always
Ainulindale is not “Ay-new-lindalay”. It’s “Ay-new-lin-dah-leh”.
As we used to say in the first age:
It's Finwe or the highway!
Fantastic to see the series. Thank you and keep them coming!
Ah, yes, the infamous UA-cam Algorithm, Spawn of Melkor, Companion of Morgoth and Outcast of Eru Iluvatar..
I LOVE these *LOTR* & *GOT* history videos! 👑
Totally love Tolkien's work.. Short and sweet your commentary and I will be tuning in for more👍
Thank you for all the great videos!
Great content, keep it up
Thanks for the video
yess, this is precious, also commenting just to help with the algorithm
It was all going well for Morgoth until Galadriel told all the men, "I've got this," and jumped 70ft into the air and with the flick of her perfect wrist destroyed his entire army. Eru finally realized her superiority and made her God of all of Arda.
-Excerpt from Rings of Power Season 2 flashback.
Look out soon on Broadway for: Middle-Earth; the Musical!
Erù Iluvatar would be proud.
Basically the family of Finwe and Feanor filed a restraining order to the Valar against the creep Melkor.
love ur videos, trying to help in every way I can
Awesome! I look forward to seeing more.
First Age, yessss
Fingolfin bestest elf
Facts
Just thank you man, really thank you
I somehow remember different reading in the books. I remember Melkor was so deep in thoughts during Eu`s music so he didnt pay enough attention to the great music itself. And since he didnt pay attention to the part mentioning the elves, Melkor created the orcs from his thoughts and from the music as much as he remembered. Not that he captured and twisted first comers...hmm....
No one can make intelligent creatures except Eru, and Melkor intentionally deviated from the music. Hope this helps!
@@Ilquendil now I need to read the books again :D Thanks
Great job
Awesome video guys. Keep up the good work 👏
Love your videos , keep them coming
Great work, but I have some suggestions: some of the locations are wrongly placed on the map. For example the Halls of Mandos are placed in the far North of Aman and Alqualonde is much closer to the "gap" that should be aligned with Eressea and the gulf (the gap was made to make the light of the Trees reach Eressea).
I also have a suggestion. Care. Care about pronunciation. Care about quoting the text right. Care about not actually making up names of characters. Who is "Tauras," anyway?
Best story ever written.
Amazing!!
why didn't i get notifications for this? I was asking for the war of wrath
THIS IS GONNA BE GREAT AND IM ON IT, LETS GO
Nice 1
Commenting to fight the youtube choking of your AMAZING videos!! UA-cam = Morgoth , W+Generals = Elves, Men and all free folk!
commenting for the algorithm, glory to the aldmeri dominion
you know what may help defeat the algorithm?
Do a battletech video.
@@steelshanks1265 the purple bird is strong!
I don't have anything to say....except this would probably make a pretty cool show.
Keep up good work!
Killing it
Well done!
Consider posting on Rumble.
Curious, how do you know that algorithm doesn't show your videos on third age? :o
Damn you algorithm! Leave'm alone!
I love the 1st age :D
Guys, I *_love_* your videos...
But some words _need_ 5 minutes of instruction for the voice actors.
Alouis???
Oh, Almighty Algorithm bless this channel!
Now what would be a proper sacrifice to the algorithm?
very cool
Aulë not Alouie ;) its funny
The Almighty Algorithm is a fickle beast to be sure. Maybe you'd get more love from it if you did a video of lore about Fortnite or Roblox??
Feanor disliked him step mother (she was his father's second wife). She couldn't have been his mother-in-law.
Nice
Can u do a video on world of warcraft
Can we have some dragon age stuff please
Really! The 3rd age of Tolkien's universe was controversial by UA-cam?
The algorithm taketh, the algorith giveth. The algorithm put this in my feed and I subbed for it, so.🙈
the algorithm showed it to me 😅
His name is Melkor not Morgoth. Morgoth is a filthy Elvish slur against a misunderstood Valar.
Well done.
What objections did UA-cam have over covering Tolkien's universe?
So the lord of the rings is some homebody hairy hippies killing the results of discordant metal music
great video, thank you for these
Never trust an elf!
Why the Elves became the enemies of Melkor/Morgoth: Simple - Melkor wants to destroy everything he didn't create because he didn't get the Flame Imperishable to breathe true life into beings.
In short, because Morgoth is a big baby having a temper tantrum.
Very Putin
All pure evil villains are big babies having a temper tantrum
In the words of Death from Supernatural, Morgoth is a bratty kid with a temper tantrum.
Having finished reading the Silmarilon last spring, I can't wait for this series! Oh Almighty Algorithm, small as we may be, hear our prayers, and keep these videos!
disappointed now?
arent you glad you read the Silmarillion? Literally none of it is in Amazons dribble......
Rings of Power is trash
@@MrSneaksful he is talking about this video series not rings of power
@@Mr_AlterEagle Oh, not the amazon series, but the W&W series! Haven't watched a single episode of the former, actually, and don't really intend to. So much wasted potential...
Thank you so much for starting to cover the first age, you have made this halfling happy. Please cover unnumbered tears 😊. Also, a nice sidenote to add is that when Feanor was making the Silmarills, he asked Galadriel 3 times for a lock of her hair to be used in the creation of them but she refused him 3 times, making her gift to Gimli far more important and beautiful by giving him three locks of hair
The Wars of Morgoth were so impossibly massive, they would be incredible if put to film.
John Baxter, true - but Amazon shouldn't be allowed to get anywhere near these incredible stories!
I'd love to eventually see the Silmarillion & unfinished tales brought together on screen. Problem is there's WAAAYYYY too much material to combine into several movies. In fact, that'd be the greatest disservice of all. It'd have to be what Disney+ is doing for Marvel and Star Wars: divide the different stories into a bunch of tv series. Morgoth, Feanor and his children, Beren and Luthien, Turin Turambar, Elrond and Elros, the War of Wrath, others. It's gotta be done right. Can't take too many liberties for the screen (I'm looking at you, Amazon...)
For now, the Tolkien family won't sell the rights to The Silmarillion and the other works. Hopefully it stays that way until someone worthy emerges who can do it well.
It would be liken to seeing Terminators riding Tyrannosaurs into battle
@@Loe_Jist Amazon's Rings of Power shows how little they care, all they see is an IP and a label to latch onto to spread a specific message and the destruction of Tolkien's ideals that they have disdain for. Much like how Melkor has disdain for the ways of Eru.
They are on such a scale it would impressive just to see it animated. I can barely imagine the valor coming to aid the people of middle earth and then the breaking the land by Iru.
Feanor made them, but...
"And Varda hallowed the Silmarils, so that thereafter no mortal flesh, nor hands unclean, nor anything of evil will might touch them, but it was scorched and withered; and Mandos foretold that the fates of Arda, earth, sea, and air, lay locked within them..."
"But who shall deny Yavanna? And did not the light of the Silmarils come from her work in the beginning?"
“Speak, oh Noldo, yeah or ney?”
Morgoth is almost as Evil as the Harfoots.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 God i hated those idiotic foots
This has to be the best fantasy world of all time
It is.
