I have been a long time fan having read the books as a kid. I started getting my daughter into the world (we have been playing the cooperative card game Fantasy Flight put out) and your videos have been fantastic to help me flush out what I didn't know (which is 90% of what you covered). Love leaving your videos on and growing in my lore knowledge. Thanks!
I can't believe the amount of effort you've put into this and your mods. I love the mod, I love the videos. I don't think thank you quite says enough to be honest.
I listen to your lore videos when I drive to and from work, and have done so for a few days. I really enjoy your Lore series! Can't wait for the next one! I feel like I owe you a very large beer, for all your troubles. Is there a thing like paypal, but with beers? If not, there should be.
Arvedui of Arthedain, was married to Onodher's daughter... hence upon the death of Onodher, Arvedui claimed kingship over both of the realms. However, the Council of Gondor rejected the north's claim and instead nominated a great nephew of a distant king of the southern realm.
I have two suggestions. I enjoy the narrative very much and credit you for your passion and willingness to share. I suggest that you scale up the graphics to full frame. Some of the detail is small and unreadable. So as I listen I strain to see what you are referring to. Most graphic software allow this and have algorithms that minimize pixelization and sometimes can improve the graphic. Second, I noticed at time you lose your train of thought. This is common and understandable with detailed narratives. Why not write down a script? Then just read it.
Great video as always! I've learned quite a bit from this new series of yours! I read the Silmarillion in grade school but most of it went right over my head at the time. I really need to re read that book. I assume pretty much all of the information you have shared with us is coming from that source? BTW you could make these videos an hour and half or two hours long and I'd still watch. :) EDIT: also that picture you have displayed at the beginning of the video was made by Ted Nasmith. His artwork is always EXCEEDINGLY lore friendly.
I'd see a whole lot canceled for Rings of Power and a complete debut of Melkor, Gondolin, and the battles before and after The Second War of the Ring. So many events need to be shown on screen and we may need a theatrical release.
Oh Sorry if I've offended, my wife and I enjoy these videos and I am ever hopeful for some on the bad guys. I can honestly say I not sure if you're joking or not as I can assure you this is a compliment. I would love to hear your take on the foot soldiers of Morgoth and Sauron.

I am not offended don't worry. :) Maybe say you are looking forward to rather than waiting for. :D I am glad to have been able to bring you some enjoyment. :) Cheers!
No I think to say that I'm somewhat impatient would be correct. I've been obsessed with these books since '79 and love any new opinions and or 'takes' on the storey that I may not have thought of. The Orks etc are my favourite characters.
I was looking through lord of the rings art, and saw (On Tolkien Gateway) that the picture you put up for Castamir is there depicted as Hirluin the Fair, lord of Pinnath Gelin, though it could easily be a picture of Castamir that someone mislabeled.
Isn't the Argonath faced the wrong way in the DaC campaign map? If the Fellowship sail southwards and the Argonath face them, it must face northwards, no? Not southwards, as is the case in DaC, if I remember correctly. Always wondered about that.
Great work. I just can listen to this for 45 minutes and I still want to know more. Thanks to you, now I know more about middle earth than about history of my country, although it is boring compared to this :D I wanted to ask one thing. I cant remember his name and I don't want to search for it now, but the king who was challenged by Witch-King... Could he have become one of the 9 Wraiths? He was never heard of again and last time, he was seen, he was going to fight Witch-King one on one. What do you think about that? :)
8 років тому
+AWPscrape All 9 wraiths already existed at the time of Eärnur's disappearance.
+AWPscrape While not canon, in the Lord of the Rings MMO, it is discovered that Eärnur becomes Mordirith. Mordirith is a wraith and is the Steward of a revitalised Angmar in the absence of the Witch-King. The idea being that the Witch-King corrupted the King and mocked him by making him into a Steward of Angmar just as Gondor had to now be ruled by Stewards due to his disappearance.
+AWPscrape Here is another theory that might spark your attention. In another Middle Earth game called Shadow of Mordor, there is a boss called The Black Hand. He is a Lieutenant of Sauron and is feared by many. His story depicts that he used to be a King of Men but fell into darkness (not talking about the nazguls). There isn't much evident on this claim that's why it's a theory. But there is a possibility that this could be Gondors last King only if the game were accurate as the books.
o really mnm,sucks, it seemed to of played such a big role in the hobbit and in the lord of the rings . i will add that peter jackson has commented on that it used to be a fortress made by the numenoreans but was left behind as the kingdoms of arnor were destroyed by the witchking
Interesting how Tolkien puts the ancient forbidden history of earth in a parable way of fiction for all to read the ancient war of lumeria and atlantis before the two land masses were sunk, i am glad tolkien abused his 33rd degree of freemasonry to use its knowledge of our history to write this great masterpiece
+Choodel Larker Yes, but not that many and it is not claerly said that they actually came from Moria, but that they were from the People of Durin of Moria
Sounds like you have quite a biased opinion of Queen Beruthiel :P Truly she was of the King's Men, but her being so horrible is in the end nothing but rumors among Gondorian peoples, there was no mention of her actually accomplishing infamous actions during her time as Queen (in the same fashion, her using cats to spy on her people is old wife's tale, never was it positively stated that she did it). Plus, was she really from Umbar ? I can only remember that she was considered "Black Numenorean" by the people of Gondor, and after being exiled her ship disappeared after passing the Cape of Umbar, but I don't think she was precisely identified as Umbarrim ... Don't worry though, I'm being extra picky over that lady because it fascinates me that we know so few about her, but overall very, very good video, I definitely love your "Lore of Middle-Earth" series, and this one with game screens is even better than the Arnor one, keep going ^^
+Er-Mûrazor Arangmar The fact that she was exiled from Gondor means that she had very dark agendas. Maybe the 'cats' are just a metaphor for her large web of spies. We know that her name was erased from any records of Gondor, but her name continues to live on. You had to have left a very bad mark on the minds of the people of Gondor that your name continues to be cursed in the streets of Gondor two thousand years later, after your name was erased from any records of Gondor, whenever a black cat passes by.
+Malgalad “The Blade of Fire” Naurmegil Well, the metaphor of the cats for a spying network is very interesting, I'll admit it. But one should also take into account the relative conservatism and bigotry that transpired in Gondor's commons when it comes to Numenorean identity, especially Black Numenoreans. Her coming from a "Southron" Realm of the Adûnai might have been enough to fuel all rumors that the Gondorians might have propagated on her actions. And given that it was an arranged marriage it should be no surprise that there was no love between her and Tarannon, all the more reasons for Gondorians to whisper and for Tarannon himself to start listening to them. After all, her exile and erasing from gondorian records might have been a political act to appease the crowds (when you look at the commonry's reaction with Eldacar, a Northman half-blooded, imagine the uproar with a Dúnadan of the Black South)
Er-Mûrazor Arangmar Then let me ask you this: Why did he banish her? Why would Tarannon listen to gossippers on the streets? Yes, they are not living together, but why would Tarannon just listen to gossip and say 'well, if the commoners say it, it must be true!' That's kind of like 'it's on the internet, so it must be true!' Why would Tarannon do that? Why let the gossip of commoners influence your decisions? And erasing her name from the records to appease the commoners means nothing if all the people of Gondor are still going to talk about her. And banishing her from Gondor? Good, you just revived the old hatred between you and the Black Númenóreans. Kings can't always listen to their citizens. And also, why are you even protecting her? She's barely mentioned anywhere, but you just have the urge to protect her. Oh, wait, you're the Witch-king, you must have a crush on Beruthiel, then.
+Er-Mûrazor Arangmar Just to precise, I talked about "gondorian bigotry" because in Gondor, especially before the Kin-Strife, people seem to be quite narrow-minded about the Dunedain identity, and from every writing of Tolkien that I could get my hands on, I get the impression that to Gondorians, any Dunadan who either does not bow to the Winged Crown, or is not a Faithful (in the Elf-Friend understanding of it), necessarily is a Black Numenorean, i.e. a Melkorite. And that perception is very wrong in my eyes, because given the suggested number or Numenorean Colonies in the Southlands, as stated in HoME, it is mathematically impossible that all of them still bowed to Morgoth or to Sauron after the Akallabêth. That should be taken into account when speaking of Beruthiel's status. Even if she did not follow the path of the Darkness, she was bound by a political marriage to a foreign king of a strange lands, with customs that might be entirely different from hers (if indeed she was from a land south to Umbar). It is quite easy to imagine that she became depressed, and/or reclusive, and that eventually she was estranged from her adopted people. It takes quite some time for a conservative people to accept a foreign monarch, even if he/she has a strong public presence (look at the Republicans' view on Obama), but if she does not even show herself to her people, dislike becomes nearly omnipresent. And even if Tarannon did not believe in the sorcery gossips that ran around her, he did become the first Childless King of Gondor, and may have had his own suspicions. But even then it took years for Tarannon to come up with the decision of exiling her and having her name erased. Whatever the reasons, it would be more rationale, from a political stance, to do that in order to make her responsible for the absence of descendants to Tarannon ...
+lolply54 Osgiliath is constituted of "Ost" (meaning Fortress, or Citadel) with the -t muted to allow more fluidity in the spelling, "gil"( meaning Star, as in "Gil-Galad", Star-light), and "ath" (a collective plural suffix), with an -i between gil and ath to again allow fluidity in the spelling. (note that the mute -t and the added -i are grammatical rules in sindarin) Therefore Osgiliath quite literally means "Citadel of the host of Stars"
so i was Playing ck2 and i studied Denethor's Bloodline with all the stewards and that. and i was Really surprised to see that he is actuly Conneted to a King of gondor with a had sister married of to a man called something i don't Remenber his name. so Technaly Denethor is a Heir of Anorien and is could have Taken the Trone of king. i Can show u a Pic of it if u guys wanna see it for u self?
+jacob Johansen That's just speculation by the modders. And even if he was, he says this to Boromir in the books: "How many hundreds of years needs it to make a steward a king, if the king returns not?" he asked. "Few years, maybe, in other places of less royalty," my father answered. "In Gondor ten thousand years would not suffice."
i can't here but if u have ck2 and then Download the mep mod u can see it for u self he is Technilly Related to isldur and the others. Cannon no u can see for u self. Aragorn is from house isdurnath denethors house is named hurnoith ( i think ) but he is also a member of house Arnoriath who is the name of the old kings in gondor while isldurnath is the name he old kingdom of arnor uses :-)
I like all your lore videos. Like a bed time story BUT in this video I distinctly hear you licking lips or smacking lips and it's really annoying :( do you always do that ? lol I'm sorry I ain't hating. It's just so annoying ha

This video is literally one of the very first. This is a problem I am repeatedly seeing with people going back to the original videos and finding their quality to be lower. I am over a year on since this video and have come a long way. :P
I must congratulate you actually having the wall around the peleinor fields in the game a lot of people forget its exists.
Brilliant. Loving every bit of this. The inclusion of the music in this episode was well added, methinks.
I have been a long time fan having read the books as a kid.

well i can only say one thing , a big thanks arachir for these lore videos . You explain it flawlessly. Bravo
I'm really enjoying these lore videos so far. Keep up the good work, I always enjoy watching your videos!
This would make a good podcast

applause.
I like how you show us where everything happens... do not change that!
Another great job with this bundle of lore. The varied pictures draw me into the stories, so i say to keep the campaign map to a minimum.
Great video as always! I've learned quite a bit from this new series of yours! I read the Silmarillion in grade school but most of it went right over my head at the time.

awesome video man, i love hearing the backstory, Middleearth is my religion ahah
Great series. Would love to hear the Dwarves story.
great video! good entertaining video, informative and enjoyed it. thanks for the background music aswell.
I will resist fawning. Thank you so much for this.
Love the Lore videos. More please. Also, may I ask what your saying at the start of every video and what it means. Thanks
I'd see a whole lot canceled for Rings of Power and a complete debut of Melkor, Gondolin, and the battles before and after The Second War of the Ring. So many events need to be shown on screen and we may need a theatrical release.
Still waiting for some lore vids on the Orks, Trolls and the various other bad guys.
+Bloodaxetheirritable I am afraid I am not a fan of this comment. :-P
Oh Sorry if I've offended, my wife and I enjoy these videos and I am ever hopeful for some on the bad guys. I can honestly say I not sure if you're joking or not as I can assure you this is a compliment. I would love to hear your take on the foot soldiers of Morgoth and Sauron.

The Orks etc are my favourite characters.
Why do you love the orcs? Or should we call them "broken elves" :p
Excited to hear this!
I was looking through lord of the rings art, and saw (On Tolkien Gateway) that the picture you put up for Castamir is there depicted as Hirluin the Fair, lord of Pinnath Gelin, though it could easily be a picture of Castamir that someone mislabeled.
is there a way to make the great artwork larger? I would love to be able to see those pictures more clearly
Awesome. Great video.
Simply brilliant. Keep up the good work =)
awesome vid man
Would you please post a link to the art at the very beginning of the video? Its just beautiful.

It was great. I rather see more images of the campaign maps (unless it is to show the borders which would be harder to show on the campaign map.)
nice lore video

Like different maps. More diverse images and maps the better the video imo
So that's were GRRM got the walls of Volantis. Neat.
Joe Jessup among other things...castimere sound familiar? :P
Family trees. The greatest invention since toilet paper.
I'm gonna go out on a limb and guess that the term which means "in fact" is de facto.
Just a hunch....
just thought but why not do a video about the history of dul guldor. like even before it was a fortress for sauron to use :)
Before it was a fortress it was a hill. Done. :P Sauron puts it on the map. It has no other history.
o really mnm,sucks, it seemed to of played such a big role in the hobbit and in the lord of the rings . i will add that peter jackson has commented on that it used to be a fortress made by the numenoreans but was left behind as the kingdoms of arnor were destroyed by the witchking
Rhùn is pronounced to rhyme with "rune", btw.
+SuperJimUK I am well aware. Force of habit has left me saying run. I explain that in one of the videos.
Lovely!

Arachir have you heard of the Quenta Silmarillion mod for R2TW?
www.moddb.com/mods/silmarillion-total-war
+Oliver Patrick is that mod completed yet? last I heard they thougt about cancelling the project
It's not completed, but they're still doing it I think.
anyone know when the king or was it a steward that was cursed in the last lotr movie anyone know by any chance
Also something that might be nice is subtitles.
What was the name of Queen Berúthiel's white cat?!?
Ser Pounce
forces from moria were in the last alliance?
+Choodel Larker They were indeed. :)
Arachír Galudirithon dwarves?!!?
+Choodel Larker Yes, but not that many and it is not claerly said that they actually came from Moria, but that they were from the People of Durin of Moria
+Choodel Larker The Dwarves were very handy because of their better siege engines in the siege of Barad Dur.
+Choodel Larker The Dwarves were very handy because of their better siege engines in the siege of Barad Dur.
Ents. Inform us of Ents!
Wait, is Rhûn pronounced "Roon" or "Run"?
'Rune'

what's osgiliath etimology?
+lolply54 Osgiliath is constituted of "Ost" (meaning Fortress, or Citadel) with the -t muted to allow more fluidity in the spelling, "gil"( meaning Star, as in "Gil-Galad", Star-light), and "ath" (a collective plural suffix), with an -i between gil and ath to again allow fluidity in the spelling. (note that the mute -t and the added -i are grammatical rules in sindarin)
Therefore Osgiliath quite literally means "Citadel of the host of Stars"
+Er-Mûrazor Arangmar i don't know sindarin very well..., so thank you
so i was Playing ck2 and i studied Denethor's Bloodline with all the stewards and that. and i was Really surprised to see that he is actuly Conneted to a King of gondor with a had sister married of to a man called something i don't Remenber his name. so Technaly Denethor is a Heir of Anorien and is could have Taken the Trone of king. i Can show u a Pic of it if u guys wanna see it for u self?
+jacob Johansen That's just speculation by the modders. And even if he was, he says this to Boromir in the books:
"How many hundreds of years needs it to make a steward a king, if the king returns not?" he asked. "Few years, maybe, in other places of less royalty," my father answered. "In Gondor ten thousand years would not suffice."
+jacob Johansen And yes, please show that picture.
i can't here but if u have ck2 and then Download the mep mod u can see it for u self he is Technilly Related to isldur and the others. Cannon no u can see for u self. Aragorn is from house isdurnath denethors house is named hurnoith ( i think ) but he is also a member of house Arnoriath who is the name of the old kings in gondor while isldurnath is the name he old kingdom of arnor uses :-)
Denethor's full name is 'Technaly Denethor'? Where did you get this info? I'd like to know. It doesn't sound very Gondoric.
+jacob Johansen What does Technilly mean?
next time you need middle earth drawings, Google!e search with Alan Lee and Hildebrandt

I like all your lore videos. Like a bed time story BUT in this video I distinctly hear you licking lips or smacking lips and it's really annoying :( do you always do that ? lol I'm sorry I ain't hating. It's just so annoying ha
This video is literally one of the very first. This is a problem I am repeatedly seeing with people going back to the original videos and finding their quality to be lower. I am over a year on since this video and have come a long way. :P
It is Sea of Rhun. Pronounced Rune
I'll be sure to jump back in time and tell myself 7 years ago to do better.
