@@mranderson718 I love that detail. Boromir blows the horn of Gondor in the middle of fighting orcs to warn the rest of the Fellowship of their presence.
During the war of the ring erebor was invaded again by the north and Sauron’s armies, resulting in the death of King brand, this is exactly what I needed to start my day off, thanks wizards
Boromir was a hero. All he wanted was salvation and hope for his people and his country. He fought and died like a true son of Gondor. Noble to the end.
@@hebl47 It does change the tone somewhat. "You shall not pass" is a threat directed towards the Balrog but "You cannot pass" is more directed at Gandalf himself ie "I cannot allow you to pass. No matter the cost"
I also prefer the movie version of his last words "I would have followed you, my brother... My captain... My king." Never fails to bring tears to my eyes.
Yes I was thinking the same. Scene gets me every single time. Prob seen it 100+ times by now BUT ... This new Amazon show already has it beat: Best warrior of all time: "you have not seen what I have seen" Elrond half-man: "I have seen my share" In her mighty moob armor: "YOU HAVE NOT SEEN.... down boy" Weakling Elrond: "yes ma'am master"
I liked the creation of Lurtz for the movies, it helped give a face to the Isengard forces at Amon Hen and expanded the ‘Rogues Gallery’ of the series.
I also like Ugluk from Two Towers. He truly showed that not all Uruks were monsters. He let his men stop to rest when they were tired, he prevented his men from hurting Merry and Pippin, he refused to allow the Mordor Orcs to disrupt the chain of command, he provided meat for his army when they were hungry for it, he gave medicine to a sick Merry who needed it, and he offered some to Pippin. What a guy!
@@raetekusu1 Medicine in the form of grog (alcoholic blood). Which Merry could barely take and was mocked for it by the party. Hardly an act of compassion.
Wasn't Helms death well known? I remember that after the death of his last son, thus ending his line, he became more grim and started to raid the besiegers on his own every stormy night. Blowing his horn before he began to cause fear among the besiegers. The damage he caused made some Dunlanders think a ice troll was roaming around at night. During the worse storm Helm went out and did not return, his horn being heared many times that night. When day broke the men of Rohan realized that the besiegers had given up and fled during that night. Helms body was found, frozen but uprigh, his eyes locked on Dunland. At least that how i remembered it, i could be wrong.
I think what they meant is that we don't know if it was the cold or hunger that killed Helm, or even if it was some other thing. We know how he was found dead, not what killed him.
@@apossiblyhereticalalphaleg3595 considering the state he was found in it seems the extreme cold killed him. However it seems more accurate to say that his own wrath killed him.
@Wizards and Warriors, I would really love to see you eventually cover the battles of the War of The Jewels in the First Age. The First Battle of Beleriand, Dagor Nuin Giliath, Dagor Aglareb, Dagor Bragollach, and The Nirnaeth Arnoediad.
For some reason the moment Aragorn choosing to pursue Merry and Pippin instead of Sam and Frodo in the books has always stuck with me. I still hope you'll do some battles from Lost Fleet some day. They can get complicated, but that's what makes them awesome and I know you guys can do it!
Hey guys, the scriptwriter here again as always hope you enjoyed this video and can't wait for you all to see the War of the Ring progress in the next few videos. It may be an unpopular opinion but Boromir was always my favorite character from the series and he plays such a pivotal role in Aragorn's development by highlighting the true strength of men in spite of their natural weakness in the face of the Ring's corruption. Would love to know what you all think about the character and how he has been portrayed so do let me know your thoughts.
I think the only detail that could have used being added was that all the while he fought the orcs to protect Merry and Pippin, Boromir blew his horn to warn Aragorn and the rest of the danger. Otherwise, awesome video all over. :D
@@resileaf9501 hey sorry I remember mentioning the horn of Gondor but must have taken it out in editing, sorry for that my friend will make sure to have that included when we do a long form video of the whole series but thank you for keeping us honest.
Ok, this is an edit. Several details: -At the chamber of Mazarbul an orc chieftain led the attack, not a troll. -Saruman did not corrupt Théoden but filled his mind with fear and doubt. -Uruk-hai is an umbrella term for all orc-kin but it is generally used to specifically refer to a taller and stronger breed of orc that can move under the sunlight. These were first bred by Sauron, not Saruman. There were big uruks in Mordor as well, Saruman just managed to secure some for his own ends.
On a small note: Umbar is actually the city you labeled as "The city of the corsairs" not the country. It was founded by the Numenorians in the second age and fell into the hands of the men of Castamir in the Kinstrife.
13:10 The reason that the Gondorains retreat is due to the power of the Nazgul We were outnumbered, for Mordor has allied itself with the Easterlings and the cruel Haradrim; but it was not by numbers that we were defeated. A power was there that we have not felt before. -The Lord of the Rings, The Fellowship of the Ring, "The Council of Elrond" 14:27 The message never arrived. Barliman Butterbur forgot to send out the letter. 15:23 Aragorn did not drive away the Nazgul. I cannot think why they have gone and do not attack again. But there is no feeling of their presence anywhere at hand. - The Lord of the Rings, The Fellowship of the Ring, "Flight to the Ford "
@@LucaPwnd The Nazgûl leave voluntarily. I cannot think why they have gone and do not attack again. - The Lord of the Rings, The Fellowship of the Ring, “Flight to the Ford” They are only waiting, because they think that their purpose is almost accomplished, and that the Ring cannot fly much further. - The Lord of the Rings, The Fellowship of the Ring, “Flight to the Ford” They tried to pierce your heart with a Morgul-knife which remains in the wound. If they had succeeded, you would have become like they are, only weaker and under their com- mand. You would have become a wraith under the dominion of the Dark Lord - The Lord of the Rings, The Fellowship of the Ring, “Many Meetings”
@@LucaPwnd No he didn't, he contributed, but he didn't drive them away singlehandedly. They were actually frightened because they saw the Hobbits had elven blades that were designed to deal with them. They didn't attack again because they'd successfully poisoned Frodo. Although they appeared to be going in again until Glorfindel arrived.
@@nmjjmn663 I believe they stopped the attack because they thought they had already won by poisoning Frodo. I remember a conversation somewhere where I believe Gandalf said that stronger men had fallen to a morgul blade much quicker, and that Frodo showed remarkable resilience to the blade's effects. If so, the Nazgul likely attacket again out of impatience and desperation, as they had believed the halfling to be corrupted long before they ever reached Rivendell.
The only error I could find was the final graphic showing the breakup of the fellowship--it happened a lot further south than Lorien. Otherwise it was great!
@11:51 This. I’ve always seen Osgiliath as the Stalingrad of Middle Earth (pretty sure one of the set designers of the trilogy said as much for the movies) so I would love to see a more detailed video of the loci and cities of Middle Earth in specific.
Fun fact tolkien when serving in ww1 heard the phrase "Ils ne passeront pas" during battle on a few occasions roughly translating to (they shall not pass) which is used by gandalf in moria
I really enjoy these videos this channel has been releasing, especially those about Star Wars. I would love it if Wizards and Warriors made videos about key battles from the Robotech franchise.
Important factor: the Nazgul were afraid of water so attack on Osgiliath was also to capture the bridge and sneak Ringwraiths on the other side of the river.
Didn’t they have fell beast to fly over the river? They took Osgiliath for strategic reasons, leaving forces at your back when attempting a siege isn’t a good idea
@@ben5056 They got fell beasts later, after they returned from their trip. Besides, literal unidentified flying object would bring too much attention to covert misssion such as claiming the ring from a halfling.

Wonderful video! I like how you are drawing from the books as part of your sources. To be honest, Boromir is one of my favorite heroes. For all his flaws, he was a hero to the end.
Thank you so much for your videos. I watch every one of them from both of your channels and thoroughly enjoy them. It's refreshing to see truly informative historical content on UA-cam, and your channels are real gems. Keep up the good work!
Just to clear something up. Aragorn was actually not a descendant of Anarion through the male bloodline. Aragorn descends primarily from Valandil. Isildurs 4th son. Who only had the right to rule Arnor. Anarions line went completely extinct when the last king of Gondor confronted the Witch king of Angmar and never returned. Because of this Aragorn never automatically had the right to rule Gondor, this was something he earned through his actions during the war of the ring.
Isildur was technically high king with the right to rule both. He left Anarion's son in Gondor when he returned to Arnor. But Aragorn is also descended through Anarion via Firiel, who married Arvedui, the last King of Arthedain.
The technicality of Ardevuis marriage to Firial granting the descendants of Isildur the right to rule Gondor was rejected both by Gondor 1000 years before LOTR and by Denethor himself. Faramir and the people of Gondorproclaimed him king for reasons aside from that very thin relation to Anarion.
@@awesomehpt8938 I thought it was the fact that Arvedui himself wasnt a descendent of Anarion and the Chieftans of the Dunedain didnt put forward their claim when the last of the line of Anarion died out. The question at the time was wheather a female could inherit Gondor not wheather her descendents were given a legitimate claim via her.
Amazing, love that you guys have expanded into fantasy, I’d love you see some of the battles from the storm light archive the Plateau runs they go on would make for some interesting visuals.
14:25 Frodo never actually received Gandalfs Letter. The innkeeper at the Prancing Pony never sent it. It was meer luck that Frodo actually got out of The Shire in time. Gandalf counciled Frodo about 6 months prior to leave.
The trailers and the information that has appeared already, clearly shows their intentions. The focus is on current identity politics, not honoring Tolkien or giving the large fan base of Tolkien what they want. It's a shame since it will be about Numemor and a time that is really interesting.
I really enjoyed this video. I was really looking forward for a strategic overview on the war of the ring and from a map perspective how the armies were moving. I like the way how you explain the armies moving on the map meanwhile at witch point or location the fellowship was during their travel. I'm looking forward for a next episode. I hope future videos will also explain the war in the north in the same style.
Can you please lay out the battles for the David Webber books especially in the Safehold series his books are great but the battles are a little hard to follow and I would love a video showing exactly what happened
This video was great. I love this series and both of your main channels. I would like to see some of the other mentioned battles in the war of the ring like the battles in Erebor and what thranduil was doing. Can’t wait for more
Simply amazing work. I havent read the trilogy for some time and was reminded of some events, but also gained a much cleared picture of how all the events coincided.
PLEASE do a series on Joe Dever's Lone Wolf! Its a sprawling fantasy epic, done in the "Choose Your Own Adventure" style of an RPG, but with cannon "correct" plot lines. The first book, Flight in the Dark, was reprinted recently by my good friend Ben Devere, son of the late author. I KNOW he would love to habe his and his fathers work presented on your channel, we've talked about it a few times. In many ways, Lone Wolf was one of the most important fantasy series ever written, though it is little known here in the US. It would be AMAZING to see you guys do a series on it! Another series on Raymond Feist's Rift war series and Codex Alera would be awesome!
Very good video- But I have a minor correction - as far as I know, the orcs who fled south because of the attacs of the dwarves even made strongholds in the White Mountains, not just in the Misty Mountains and areas around. So it took a long time until there were no orcs north and south of Rohan at the same time. The orcs who attacked the fellowship were a "combined" force of Uruks from Mordor, Uruk-hai and Northerner Orcs (who were just after revenge for their slain comrades in Moria).
Not sure how many would know about this BUT when I was a young man, early teens or so I was really into a series of books by an author named Joe Dever called 'The Lone Wolf'. They were as close to playing an RPG as books would get, a 'choose your adventure' types that were not linear in their telling, but ultimately there should be some base lore for that universe and it was the only books I personally could ever find myself urged to read and keep going, buying as many of them as I could find at the time. The universe was extremely and enthralling and I think 'could' make a good addition and bring maybe some people that wouldn't maybe otherwise be here, There HAS to be other people like me who've kept the feelings all these decades that the series gave you when reading the books. Just a thought and a suggestion if in any way you'd be willing to see if it could meet any criteria you have. Thanks for your time in these....
I believe this channel made their video based on the books, instead of the movie and I appreciate that so much. I have no problems with the movie, they are wonderful movies, probably one of the best movie that I have ever watched. But it is true that some details and information were changed in the movie, in order to make it more dramatics maybe?? But in order to truly understand the lore, I believe we must look to the books instead of just the movie, and for that I truly appreciate this channel. Hope you guys keep up the good work.
The fellowship was one of the greatest groups of heroes in any fantasy universe. They were represent by 5 races: Men (+Dunedain), Elves, Dwarves, Hobbits, and wizards (Istari or Maia).
i read the all lotr books and now this videos. also i ve heard that jrr tolkien has some unpublished notes . but it published after his death. the simillarion is one of the best books and also the lotr trilogy and also the hobbit trilogy . thank you wizards.
Great vid! Suggestions for other fantasy/sci-fi vids? How about Battlestar Galactica? BSG has lots of great battles, so I'd love to see your vids for those 🙂
Every video you make is the best but i think you must complete a whole series first and then move to the next one as it makes one to remember the previous one and the continuation makes it more interesting...
Very nice video. As usual beautifully made and visualised. But the end was a bit disappointing. The Breaking of the Fellowship happened at on Hen, as it was on the zoomed in map. But when zooming out they still were at Lorien and Frodo and Sam travelled to Mirkwood with Gollum on the videos map, not through Emyn Muil as it should be.
Hey wizards and warrior it's not a battle not a war but I'd love it if you'd cover more of the watcher in the lake and the other creatures that lurk in the darkness, I couldn't find enough information on it and I think it'll be very interesting

The technicality of Ardevuis marriage to Firial granting the descendants of Isildur the right to rule Gondor was rejected both by Gondor 1000 years before LOTR and by Denethor himself. Faramir and the people of Gondorproclaimed him king for reasons aside from that very thin relation to Anarion.
@@awesomehpt8938 I thought it was the fact that Arvedui himself wasnt a descendent of Anarion and the Chieftans of the Dunedain didnt put forward their claim when the last of the line of Anarion died out. The question at the time was wheather a female could inherit Gondor not wheather her descendents were given a legitimate claim via her.
Amazing, love that you guys have expanded into fantasy, I’d love you see some of the battles from the storm light archive the Plateau runs they go on would make for some interesting visuals.
being very familiar with the books it is actually quite nice to see the movements of the fellowship plotted on the map like this!
14:25 Frodo never actually received Gandalfs Letter. The innkeeper at the Prancing Pony never sent it. It was meer luck that Frodo actually got out of The Shire in time. Gandalf counciled Frodo about 6 months prior to leave.
Such a great video, I love all of the passion you put into your work. Thank you so much for it!
Please do more LOTR vids. I don't have high hopes with Amazon series
Only those who hate Tolkien's work are optimistic about it.
The trailers and the information that has appeared already, clearly shows their intentions. The focus is on current identity politics, not honoring Tolkien or giving the large fan base of Tolkien what they want.
It's a shame since it will be about Numemor and a time that is really interesting.
These are so in depth and entertaining! Have you considered covering the Warcraft and StarCraft universes? Those are some of my absolute favorites!
I really enjoyed this video. I was really looking forward for a strategic overview on the war of the ring and from a map perspective how the armies were moving. I like the way how you explain the armies moving on the map meanwhile at witch point or location the fellowship was during their travel. I'm looking forward for a next episode. I hope future videos will also explain the war in the north in the same style.
Can you please lay out the battles for the David Webber books especially in the Safehold series his books are great but the battles are a little hard to follow and I would love a video showing exactly what happened
This video was great. I love this series and both of your main channels. I would like to see some of the other mentioned battles in the war of the ring like the battles in Erebor and what thranduil was doing. Can’t wait for more
Great abstract that shows how desperate the free peoples of Middle Earth actually were. Nice video it is.
Wow & 4th! Wish for Stargate videos soon!
Simply amazing work. I havent read the trilogy for some time and was reminded of some events, but also gained a much cleared picture of how all the events coincided.
PLEASE do a series on Joe Dever's Lone Wolf! Its a sprawling fantasy epic, done in the "Choose Your Own Adventure" style of an RPG, but with cannon "correct" plot lines. The first book, Flight in the Dark, was reprinted recently by my good friend Ben Devere, son of the late author. I KNOW he would love to habe his and his fathers work presented on your channel, we've talked about it a few times.
In many ways, Lone Wolf was one of the most important fantasy series ever written, though it is little known here in the US. It would be AMAZING to see you guys do a series on it!
Another series on Raymond Feist's Rift war series and Codex Alera would be awesome!
"I would have followed you, my brother. My captain. My King."
So excited for the next journey of LoTR.
I require a Dain Ironfoot video AND a Balin one
love the video i saw the movie when it came out all those years ago and it brought back so many memories
I honestly know all this already, but I support the idea of the content, so I’m helping w the algorithm
Very good video- But I have a minor correction - as far as I know, the orcs who fled south because of the attacs of the dwarves even made strongholds in the White Mountains, not just in the Misty Mountains and areas around. So it took a long time until there were no orcs north and south of Rohan at the same time.
The orcs who attacked the fellowship were a "combined" force of Uruks from Mordor, Uruk-hai and Northerner Orcs (who were just after revenge for their slain comrades in Moria).
“There’s another dark lord staring these days…”
Ah yes, the Ad Lords.
Daily Reminder that Boromir, Captain of the White Tower was a hero.
Always felt special to know the council of elrond happened on October 25th my birthday!
Not sure how many would know about this BUT when I was a young man, early teens or so I was really into a series of books by an author named Joe Dever called 'The Lone Wolf'. They were as close to playing an RPG as books would get, a 'choose your adventure' types that were not linear in their telling, but ultimately there should be some base lore for that universe and it was the only books I personally could ever find myself urged to read and keep going, buying as many of them as I could find at the time. The universe was extremely and enthralling and I think 'could' make a good addition and bring maybe some people that wouldn't maybe otherwise be here, There HAS to be other people like me who've kept the feelings all these decades that the series gave you when reading the books. Just a thought and a suggestion if in any way you'd be willing to see if it could meet any criteria you have. Thanks for your time in these....
I love this series. Thanks for covering my favorite battles in the Legendarium 🥰
Your documents are incredibly well done. I’m loving them. Please keep them up 😊
I believe this channel made their video based on the books, instead of the movie and I appreciate that so much. I have no problems with the movie, they are wonderful movies, probably one of the best movie that I have ever watched. But it is true that some details and information were changed in the movie, in order to make it more dramatics maybe?? But in order to truly understand the lore, I believe we must look to the books instead of just the movie, and for that I truly appreciate this channel. Hope you guys keep up the good work.
Can’t wait for the next videos on the lord of the rings lore , you guys are doing an Awesome job
Thank you
The fellowship was one of the greatest groups of heroes in any fantasy universe. They were represent by 5 races: Men (+Dunedain), Elves, Dwarves, Hobbits, and wizards (Istari or Maia).
Did not know much about boromir or the battle at Gondor pretty cool gotta love a rear
Guard action
Loving your Middle-Earth videos guys and amazing animations really bringing the lore to life! ⚔🏹
It's cooler when Sir Ian does the Bridge Speech 😁😁😁😁
Dam I love this documentary!!!! Will you guys be doing any of documentaries of middle earth fighting Morgath?
I can only see Aragon as Viggo. We are SO lucky they replaced Stuart Townsend with him after filming had begun.
My great grandfather met gandalf he said he is as intense and always speaks in riddle as advertised during his interview with oprah.
i read the all lotr books and now this videos. also i ve heard that jrr tolkien has some unpublished notes . but it published after his death. the simillarion is one of the best books and also the lotr trilogy and also the hobbit trilogy . thank you wizards.
Once again, thank you for your work !!
I hope you guys cover the battles in The Silmarilion. That would be rad.
I really like this new channel, it is so much fun seeing your grest format handle fantasy and sci fi. 🙌
chills 17:39 , literal chills
C'mon guys, you gotta do some content on the stormlight archives. That would be so 🔥
Great vid! Suggestions for other fantasy/sci-fi vids? How about Battlestar Galactica? BSG has lots of great battles, so I'd love to see your vids for those 🙂
Every video you make is the best but i think you must complete a whole series first and then move to the next one as it makes one to remember the previous one and the continuation makes it more interesting...
Amazingly well done!
Kingdom of Gondor must be destroyed.
Sauron delenda est!
An excellent video. I'm really starting to like this channel. My compliments to all those who made this video a reality.
As beautiful as the first time I saw it!
Hope that, once you have finished with the 3rd Age you may be able to do a series on the 1st and 2nd ages!
17:39 You cannot tell me that wasn't your favorite part of the script.
It was, one of my favourite movie scenes ever, was hard to do it justice!
"I would have followed you to the end, my captain, my brother, my king."
So excited to see this on my suggestion list!! :D
Fantastic video keep it up your doing amazing job
Very nice video. As usual beautifully made and visualised.
But the end was a bit disappointing. The Breaking of the Fellowship happened at on Hen, as it was on the zoomed in map. But when zooming out they still were at Lorien and Frodo and Sam travelled to Mirkwood with Gollum on the videos map, not through Emyn Muil as it should be.
Love all the Content you guys make, Please continue on making more Videos like These!
Cheers great vid. Makes me want to watch the movies. Thank You KnG's
These videos are so good. I hope one day to see some battles from Warhammer covered
very good video nice to see some characters we know from the series
These videos are better than reading the Silmarillion.
Great video, great visuals, great narration, I love this channel!
got RAID got both of 7 day champoins since i've signed up to raid really good game really glad they are sponsering you KandG
C'mon men, so much high level content from you guys... Youre great
so exceptional. Thank you.
Hey wizards and warrior it's not a battle not a war but I'd love it if you'd cover more of the watcher in the lake and the other creatures that lurk in the darkness, I couldn't find enough information on it and I think it'll be very interesting
