- In this epic summary of J.R.R. Tolkien's The Silmarillion, we delve into one of the most pivotal events in Middle-earth's history: the theft of the Silmarils by Melkor, the dark enemy of the Valar, who would later be known as Morgoth. Alongside the ravenous and fearsome Ungoliant, Melkor plunged Valinor into darkness and stole the most precious jewels of the Elves. This video details Fëanor's unbreakable Oath, a vow that would forever alter the fate of the Noldor and spark a series of epic tragedies.
Discover the full story behind these events and how ambition, betrayal, and tragedy cast a shadow over the Elves and all of Middle-earth. If you're a Tolkien fan looking for a concise retelling of The Silmarillion, this video is for you.

This is what happens when a REAL fan, with respect to the source material, does it!
Why can't Amazon take notes?
Awaiting more of these, dear friend
thanks a lot for your support! working on ainulindale 2!
Well amazon couldn't recreate this even with all the dedicated people in the world as long as the Tolkien estate is around 🤷♂
purists like Chris Tolkien on one extreme & Amazon which doesn't care about lore on the other extreme.
Chris is dead, but is ilk are very alive abs well and Amazon isn’t willing to change for fear of backlash of a “protected class”.
@@khylerbane4523 My question: why has Simon T. betrayed his own father and grandfather?
Omgggg Fëanor’s oath scene was so cool
thanks so much! I tried to show something different to the rest of the video!
Excellent! Looking forward to see entire First Age events. Especially War of Wrath. Combined Army, Vanyar, remaining Noldor in Aman and Eönwe with blazing sword of Manwe.
thanks so much! on the plan! I'll create a poll so people can share what they want to see next!
Maybe this guy should get the rights to a Sillmarillion TV series.& funding.
XD thanks so much!
Once again, we are all glad to see a marvellous video refering to the begining of the First Age! Congratulations for achieving the highest level!
thanks so much for your words and support! working on ainulindale 2!
Use this channel to get over your Amazon hangover.
XD thanks so much!!
This is an awesome video. I can't wait for your next one and keep up the good work🔥💯
thanks a lot!
Instant watch once I see one of these come out. The style of the Noldor is just how I imagined it. Thanks for bringing these stories to life!
thanks a lot! thanks to you for your support!
Thank you so much for another awesome video! The oath of Feanor was how I imagined when I read the book and later listened to the album Nightfall in Middle Earth by Blind Guardian. Thanks a lot!
thanks a lot to you for your support! im glad you enjoy it!
Excellent video!
thanks so much! glad you enjoy it!!
@@TheCottageofLostPlay Welcome!
Great cinematography and your telling of the story makes it come to life. I only wish there was more of it-
yet again another amazing potrayal of Feanor's story, cottage. It would be good to also make a story of Kinslaying at Alqualondë, it will give a more context of how Feanor driven by his rage wanted to chase Morgoth and with Swan ships that Teleri had, This also led to Fingolfin, Galadriel, his brother Finrod Felagund and rest of Noldors went to Middle Earth via hellish route of the freezing cold of Helcaraxë, since the ships were burned by Feanor and his sons, so no other way to get to Middle Earth.
Thank you so much! Yes, I have it planned for upcoming chapters. It won’t be easy to recreate that part of the story, but I promise to try my best!
@ I am sure you’ll do Justice 😉
Brilliant. Loved it.
thanks so much!
Oh my god! Thanks for making parts of the First Age come true. I would pay to watch anything from the Silmarillion. Hopefully someday, we'll get to see longer videos. Perhaps, the Children of Hurin next?
Absolutely AMAZING.
That was a beautiful video. You did a wonderful job recreating this story from the Silmarillion. I love that you highlight snapshots from the book. You did a great job with the characters and backgrounds. The editing was great. Thank you very much for this video. New subscriber.
than you a lot! this monday my first long video! the nirnaeth!
Brilliant, thx mate
thanks to you for your comment and support!
Absolutely stunning work! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Where you been for all these years man?I was looking for a creator like you.
Was waiting for you my friend
thanks a lot! this one took me more time i expected :(
@TheCottageofLostPlay no worries, the result is incredible
Крутой ролик. Наконец, Унголианту адекватно отобразили и ее короткую, но важную для Средиземья, историю - ведь Шелоб ее потомок.
Thanks a lot!
Holy crap, this really brings the horror of Nan Dungortheb to life! My new favorite channel! This also will really help my kids get into the lore of the Silmarillion before they're old enough to read it. Right now they're still young and can't read yet so we've been watching the Jackson films mainly. These videos fit nicely!
It’s an honor for me that you and your children enjoy these videos and that I can be a part of their learning in this wonderful world of Tolkien that they’re sure to love. Thank you so much for sharing this with me-you’ve made my week!
@TheCottageofLostPlay 😃
Georgous!!!! Can't wait for your next video ❤️
thanks so much! in a few minutes ainulindale 2!
Great Job
thanks so much!
This is sooo cool! Thank you! ❤Your videos are great! Looking forward to your next.
thanks a lot! working on ainulindale 2!
Love your Channel Bro
thanks so much!!!
I love how the scream of Morgoth is depicted as less a scream of terror and desperation and more a roar of challenge and asserting dominance.
Also depicting Ungoliant and her brood as eldritch demonic nightmares rather that giant spiders is oddly refreshing to see.
thanks so much!!
This is cool..bro great videos❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
thanks a lot!!!
Wow this is amazing! Amazon should look at your work😁
Thanks a lot for your support!
Magnifique
thanks so much!
Damn, it really looks like ure improving with these. i was looking forward to a new one, its marvelous.
thanks a lot! working on ainulindale 2!!
Awesome !
thanks so much!
Fiel seguidor de Tolkien, mi respeto y gracias
Gracias a ti! A ver si subo pronto el ainulindale 2!
Génial, très bien 👍
thanks so much!!
masterpiece
thanks so much!
Perfect 🎉🔥
thanks a lot!
I don't know if it was "the AI" or a human who decided to include it, but the alliterative version of the oath of Fëanor was just so awesome to hear in a visual filmic context! YEAH! I so wish that this poem had been included in the published form of "The Silmarillion"!!! That's what I am talking about on my channel about helping to complete the sub-created world of Tolkien. However, it could be mentioned that JRRT might have been unpleasantly surprised at the role that "computers-machines-robots" are playing in the current blossoming of (not other hands and minds but) other bytes and bits!
Thank you so much!, it’s a human idea XD. People think that with AI you just press a button and get a video like this, but nothing could be further from the truth. The only AI elements in these videos are the images and movements (obviously, because I don’t have the resources to film actors with cameras, etc.). The rest-script, ideas, music selection and editing, editing the entire video to align the different parts, etc.-is human work. If it were as easy as people think, I’d be uploading a video every two days instead of every one or two weeks. AI has helped make many things possible, but it’s still far too underdeveloped to create something like this on its own. Thank you again for your visit!
@@TheCottageofLostPlay Well, thank you so much for replying to my reply! Yeah, I think you said before how much work goes into making a video, so I do want to appreciate that! On the other hand some people do use AI to write text, but I feel so happy to know that you write the script. You have a gift for summarizing the story in your own words. I am so disappointed in Amazon's RoP; your vids are helping quench my thirst!
Полный вариант стиха есть в книге " Баллады Берилианда"!😊 Я его тоже очень люблю!
2:37 I was alway wandering, why Balrogs came to safe Melkor, but not Sauron (much more powerful).
I found lots of proofs, that Balrogs loyality and devotion was untrustable. But Sauron's lotalty was rather pragmatic.
Here he was enyoing ruling Angband in regency and the last what he wanted was back of Melkor
I love you guys.
thanks so much! did you see ainulindalë part 2? working on the next one!
My Daughter is reading the Silmarillion
After seeing this video i am tempted
to put on a gas mask and gloves
and risk trying to find my Copy
In her room tomorrow.
Very well done, its stunningly awesome
Feanor . is well portrayed as someone
As Not to get the wrong side of...!
Especially with some formidable Elves to back him up.
Great stuff,keep it up.
Try to have the courage of Fingolfin to enter! 😆 Thank you so much! This week, Ainulindalë Part 2!
It’s okay Melkor, we’ve all screamed at a spider before.
I would rate you a top Notch Content creator with a high quality convincing visuals, you reall have put those technology on right position and made it purposeful, I'm a big of fan Tolkien's Work of Middle Earth, even Amazon failed to satisfy us the way you are doing 🙏🙏🙏
thanks so much for your words and support!
The problem with ROP is not so much that the show runners had every intention of destroying the legendarium; the problem is with the inheritor of Tolkien's legacy who sold them the rights.
I instant hit like, there is no way these shorts are slightly bad
thanks so much!!!!
amazing
thanks!
Still loving these. The writing, though, def needs some work. ❤
Perfect… tks
thanks to you!
What happened to the segment where the lamps were raised and toppled and the capture of Melkor. The awakening of the Elves, the capture by some by Melkor and their subsequent yourney to the west?
I’m not making The Silmarillion in chronological order for several reasons, one being that each video takes a long time to make, and it would take months to reach parts that people are more interested in seeing. However, I am gradually filling in my chronological Silmarillion list, and there will likely be stories that I’ll redo to make them more faithful and less condensed as new technologies improve and my knowledge of them grows. I hope you understand and enjoy the journey with me! Thank you very much!
@@TheCottageofLostPlaythanks - you're doing a swell job. Looking forward to your continued project.
I think that you have not understood / fleshed out the philosophical implications and intricates of the oath of Feanor. However, it isn't directly stated in the text, more of an induction that requires a study of Feanor from a very limited source. I think Oath of Feanor could be a good material for a longer movie - here it's maybe 1.5 minutes (the other 1.5 minutes is about spiders?) from which quoting the oath itself takes most - which doesn't do justice. I think your screenwriting skills would benefit from teaming up with some sort of essay writing to transform Tolkien not just into an on-screen synopsis of the events but something that would capture the book-like layer of profoundness
Thanks! The problem lies in the generation of images, the more text the more images have to be generated and moved, with the time and money limitations that this entails. In these shorter videos my intention was to make a summary of a general idea of the story, with the longer videos that I am making now I have a bit more freedom, even so they are not my final versions, someday I will redo everything from the beginning, when the technologies and my knowledge about them improve.
Elebereth Glithoniel !! 🎉❤
They should replace you with amazon show runners.. maybe then we can actually experience a real second age of middle earth !
XD thanks a lot for your support!
How on earth do you make this, giving such consistency to the character design as well? Which software is it?
i use several to get images others to movements, seek music on webs, other to generate narration voices, and filmota to edit all
I have a hard time assuming Feanor gave his speech so monotone
my friend, you are a master of your craft! if by some chance i ever win the lottery, i´ll give you unlimited funding to make a silmarillion series
XD Thank you so much! I’ll hold you to that! XD
Wow! ❤❤❤
thanks a lot!
@@TheCottageofLostPlaySo what about the Orc Mongols?
i enjoy your videos amazon should have hired you instead of thoses lunatics
XD thanks a lot for your support!
Utúlie'n aurë! ❤️
Á kaluva tie!
The greatest of noldor…
Please make like these videos as fast as possible ❤
thanks a lot! I try it, but have a lot of edition work, editing music, generating movements... i desire day have 30 h XD.
Morgoth... Black Foe of the world.
Wo0ow just wo0ow
thanks a lot for your support!
WOW!!
gracias!
Feanor is one of those characters that sometimes you wanna root for him and other times you want to delete him!! 😂😂😂
He is such a douche!!
XD yes, I guess his ego gets the best of him, and he prioritizes things he shouldn't XD thank you so much for your unconditional support and for always being here!
@@TheCottageofLostPlay on the contrary thank you for making these videos.
I love The Silmarilion so much! Is the coolest book ever written!
Feanor the Greatest of all elves, the brother of Finarfin and Fingolfin
Way better than Rings of Power
thanks so much!
