Hi friends 🦊♥️ I’ve gotta say I had a ton of fun with the research for this one! The Witch-King is probably one of the coolest characters in all of fiction and the whole concept of the dark riders is what got me into dark fantasy as a kid. It also really hit me while rereading some of these chapters just what a fun writer Tolkien is. The way he does dialogue and clever banter is unmatched to this day! Hope you all enjoy x 🫶🏻
I’ve been on the edge of a burnout recently, using LOTR games/movies etc. as a nice little escape from the struggles of real life.. Finding this video could not have happened at a better time, thank you for making my nights at least a little more calm ❤
you fucking got this bro. stay strong. deep breaths often - realize that only YOU have control of the tools no one, nothing else. find god, he is real and has so much love to give.
Amazed at how seamlessly you move from one genre to another. This one really hit home. LOTR was my late brother's favorite and something we explored together. Last night, listening to this brought back so many memories. This old woman thanks you.
🥺thank you so much, and I’m glad I could bring some measure of comfort and nostalgia to you. continue to cherish the beautiful memories u had with your brother in this lifetime, and make even more in the next ♥️ sending lots of love your way!
I'm so glad you are doing this. We're spammed with mindless or negative or consumerism based content SO much it's a breath of fresh air to listen to something like this.... Just a talented story teller sitting by the fire sharing some lore. You're awesome.
wow thank you!!! ♥️😁 thats rly kind of u to say, and im so happy you enjoyed the lore, its always so fun diving into these insanely beautifully written worlds
he really is way too cool!! its lowkey difficult to see modern fantasy villains and not spot the inspirations 😂 Tolkien’s books and characters are blueprints for success!
How wonderful! Your storytelling is so evocative that I have to stop… it’s far too fascinating for a bedtime story, because I don’t want to miss a moment of it by falling asleep. I’m saving the rest for waking hours. Well done! So immersive and exciting, thank you!
this genuinely made my day!! thank you so much! 🥹 I put a lot of effort into the lore videos especially because theyre my personal favorite kind of videos to watch so it means the most when someone enjoys them to this degree ♥️ thank you friend!!
Funny… I was just reading The Silmarillion! I love Tolkien stories! ❤ Thank you! This is my video for the night. Your voice is so calming and soothing. Thank you thank you for making these!
great minds read alike! 😁 thank you so much and I hope you have an amazing night, appreciate all the support and love you’ve been throwing my way 🦊🫶🏻 it means a lot!!
thank you so muchh!! 🥹 i feel blessed that so many people enjoy nerding out over these topics and tales with me! appreciate you being here and the kind words 🫶🏻😁
mate this means a lot thank you! i try to make these as digestible and interesting to follow (as possible) so anyone who is trying to sleep can follow along regardless of knowledge on the topic, and it engages them. i truly appreciate the feedback brother. thanks 🙌🧙♂️🦊💤
I just happened upon this channel and love it! This is exactly what I’ve been looking for. Nicely done - love Tolkien and you have done him justice. Thank you for your research and narration!
Thank you so very much 💖 I love this and i suscribed to your channel because in this video and in the 11 hour one you read stories throughout, rather than playing music at the end. I prefer hearing your voice when I wake up intermittently. Thank you this is wonderful 🙏🏼🧡
Well this was wonderful 😊 I had all but forgotten how much I enjoyed reading lotr, thank you for sending me back in time to that experience 😍 Perhaps it's time for a re-read! Great work as always Fox! Your voice and tone really suit this great literary work 😍
yay im so happy you liked it!! 😄♥️ and I felt the exact same way rereading some of those chapters for the video!! It was difficult to put the book down I was like welp - time to read the whole thing 😭 appreciate your kind words friend 🦊🫶🏻
I love this! Thanks for another interesting video to listen to as I fall asleep! As I said before brilliant work! Thank you so much for your commitment and effort you put into your videos! Fantastic!!
Sidney!!! ♥️🦊🫶🏻 thank you so muchh?!? you are wayy too generous I’m floored at the constant support 🤯 im rly glad you’re here and enjoying these! hope you have an amazing night filled with plenty of quests and dreams 😁
It's wild that you don't have a massively inflated budget cough cough amazon and can make a compelling tale about the rings of power in a competent fashion. You somehow have more talent in one finger than what is produced with multi million budgets.
i appreciate that!! thank you so much!😁 I do wish I enjoyed the amazon show more but alas, I dont :/ doesnt come close to matching the wonder from the books and even the movies
♥️ thanks so much for watching!! i do usually add 2-3 hours-ish of extra audio so folks can sleep without being woken during the early sleep cycle by the mandatory ending ads, didnt think to add it to this one 😅 woops!
I actually enjoy having just the stories. If I'm not asleep by the time the story ends and its just music I have to get up and find a new video. With this the story goes all the way through.
@@DozingDragonASMRThank you so much for even reading let alone writing back 🎉. Could I please emphasise that my question was a request and not a demand. (I would also like to request more japanese folk tales and sci fi 😅). I do loop your videos anyway. Please, above all, just continue as long as possible. 😅😊😅😊
Oh Fox how dare you get in my head j/k 😅😂. I love this story. On a personal note I'm kinda Lord of The Rings nerd. 😅😂 I wish I can find the original books, asking with the Hobbit books aswell, also along with all of the books of Lion, The Witch and The wardrobe series. I am so very happy my dearest friend. Thanks for another FANTASTIC story. Cheers 🥂 ature story
😂😂😂 great minds and all!! im so glad you liked it Jennifer!! i just feel everything I enjoy stems from LotR and how it got me hooked onto fantasy and magic as a kid! so its very near and dear to me as well ♥️ and I loove Narnia! hope you had a beautiful evening friend 🦊🫶🏻
I love the wich king when he was laughing in battle with men and as soon as glorfindel turned up he had it away was scared of him and should of been it was then glorfindel said do not follow him long away is his death and it won't be by man,also it was said that after glorfindel was sent back after death when he rushed by on his horse it was a kin to a valor. GLORFINDEL rocks.
not indecent whatsoever!! i appreciate it ♥️😁 im from Fulham, London, but moved very regularly as a kid to a bunch of different places in the UK and the states even!
thank you so much!! yeah I saw the reviews not looking too hot :( i was hoping itd be better than s1 but oh well, atleast we have the books and the movies!
Thank you so much Fox 🫶 Not to be contrary but I actually prefer no music. It tends to reawaken me if I have fallen asleep. Just sayin’ 😉 (probably should have replied under one of the others requesting it🤪oops)
♥️😁 im so glad you like this one!! i know everyone has a different preference so hopefully ill find the sweet spot soon! wishing you a wonderful and restful night friend 🦊

Fox 🦊 you are by far the Best Narrator I’ve heard here on UA-cam ❤. Thank you for sharing your gift of story telling with me.
The Witch King and the ringwraiths deserve their own dark mini series
yes they do!! i would love that 😅 an HBO miniseries perhaps
Other than the mispronunciation of Celebrimbor and Círdan, it was very good. (It’s a hard “K” sound)
oof I’ve been misreading it since I was a kid 😅 thanks so much for letting me know!! appreciate you
and Feanor
Wow…. Good on you Fox. The Witch King is one of my favourite villains of all time. Thank you!
he really is way too cool!! its lowkey difficult to see modern fantasy villains and not spot the inspirations 😂 Tolkien’s books and characters are blueprints for success!
@@DozingDragonASMR You'd think so. But then amazon tried and failed lol.
I love the readings you do out of the literature, I'll be sleeping well.
Thanks Fox ❤

11:50 small correction, Vilya was given to Gil-galad, eventually ended up with Elrond.
Nearly 5 hours of "Thank you! I can rest for a bit!"

Back ground sounds would be good great story thank you 🦊❤
😁♥️ so happy to see u here! and noted :)!
Thank you for this
Brilliant, thank you for your work. Please add background music to let the video run for 8-9 hours for a full night's sleep. 😅😊
♥️ thanks so much for watching!! i do usually add 2-3 hours-ish of extra audio so folks can sleep without being woken during the early sleep cycle by the mandatory ending ads, didnt think to add it to this one 😅 woops!

@benhagstrom2185 I actually asked for more music as it was a simple addition (and relaxing). Of course 8-9 hours of stories is also acceptable.
@@DozingDragonASMRThank you so much for even reading let alone writing back 🎉. Could I please emphasise that my question was a request and not a demand. (I would also like to request more japanese folk tales and sci fi 😅). I do loop your videos anyway. Please, above all, just continue as long as possible. 😅😊😅😊
@@dandeehancockify👍
I usually love your videos but Celebrimbor being renamed Selebrimbor is like an ear worm that keeps me awake haha
sorry😅😅😅!! never realized id been reading it wrong lol! i learn something new everyday 🫶🏻
I thought I was the one who was wrong! Thank you hahah
@@DozingDragonASMRThe letter C is always pronounced as a K sound when at the beginning of words in all Elvish languages
Seems like a fair mistake, given the pronunciation of Celery, Celler, etc...
plz do not add background music, this is perfect
Oh Fox how dare you get in my head j/k 😅😂. I love this story. On a personal note I'm kinda Lord of The Rings nerd. 😅😂
I wish I can find the original books, asking with the Hobbit books aswell, also along with all of the books of Lion, The Witch and The wardrobe series.
I am so very happy my dearest friend. Thanks for another FANTASTIC story.
Cheers 🥂

♥️ thanks so much!! i appreciate u!
Thank you for doing an audio book.
Please use the appendix in the lotr or unfinished tales to learn the proper pronunciation of elvish et al. Names
Without context Butterbur saying “no black man shall pass thru my doors”…
😬yes when i was reading it i told myself, hopefully no one skims this and knows he’s talking about the Nazgûl
Hello everyone 😊
It’s the end of demon days album by the Gorillaz'¡¡
I'll ask what may be an almost indecent question, but where are you from, my friend? You have such a beautiful pronunciation!
not indecent whatsoever!! i appreciate it ♥️😁 im from Fulham, London, but moved very regularly as a kid to a bunch of different places in the UK and the states even!
@@DozingDragonASMR Awesome! I love the UK. And the accent... I got it right after all! :-D thank you!
Sound identically too the guy that does coolworlds
