Oh, boy. I sure hope nothing bad happens to those Edain living so up north and close to Angband. It surely be bad if the lineage of their leaders got cursed, or something.
I mean it would be weird if one of them was tied to the top of mountain and cursed by primordial entity , later killing himself out of misery, but nah that's kinda too dark for Tolkien, isn't it? 🙃
Words can’t describe the joy i’m feeling 🤩. The duel between fingolfin and morgoth is epic to say the least and after the duel, morgoth would never again show himself outside his fortress out of fear.
"Morgoth went ever halt of one foot after that day, and the pain of his wounds could not be healed; and in his face was the scar that Thorondor made." And got wounded for eternity.... Fingolfin probably the most badass character in the whole lore, imho :)
Its amazing to see these huge, epic conflicts of the First Age that almost make everything we see in the Second and Third Ages, War of the Last Alliance, and War of the Ring seem like nothing by comparison.
You bring this world to life with such tragedy and charisma. I'm sure Tolkein himself would be humbled by the effort and care your writers put into his work.
I tell people all the time the battles/wars in the 1st age make the war of the ring look like a skirmish. I would pay big money to see this made as a movie. The scope is way to big for live action so it would have to be animated
Imo it would have to be animated not because of the scope but the timescales we are dealing with. You cant do a live action siege that lasts 1000 years and have it feel impactfull.
@@jimmybobby4824 I’m black so I don’t really feed into that racist everything is. woke bullshit and minorities in fantasy films means it’s a agenda crap I simply don’t care just want good acting and writing
I appreciate the thoroughness and insight you all show. It was what initially drew me to Kings and Generals and I'm pleased it is alive and well in the fictional sphere as well. I'd love for you to cover the Battle of the Twilight Gap, or the Battle of Six Fronts from the world of Destiny.
Fun tangentially related fact: Diablo, and the entire hack'n'slash ARPG genre with it, is based on "Angband", a 1990 roguelike set in 1st age Angband (which takes a lot of liberties with setting and lore though).
Man the way you tell the entire history of the 1st age is so bad ass man I love it you are by far the best to tell it that I've seen on UA-cam keep it up I can't wait for the next videos
4:37 off topic but maybe important to someone: this was the moment Men awoke. this is in contrast to the theory that Orcs originated from Men -> chronically not possible since we see that the Elves already were fighting Orcs. Hence I dismiss the idea of Orcs being bred from Men as their origin and I for myself will stick with the idea of corrupted Elves. (the Orcs-being-corrupted-animals-theory is total crap and not worthy discussing)
really love these lotr lore videos. i remember slogging thru the Sil as a kid because the world obsessed me, but good god. finally seeing it with my eyes instead of just my head really helps me put the pieces together. thanks guys
It's kinda fun that as I listen, my mind runs through how I imagined, or visualized from reading the story in the book. Thanks for your wonderful efforts!
You do videos of all the wars of battletech. Such as the clan invasion the battle of tukayyid, the succession wars clan wolf conquest of Tera, and many many others
I am so proud of you! This is amazing! I have been following your work for a while now and honestly, after the harrowing arnor video I had forgotten about these! Just wanted to leave some hype since I stumbled upon MY FAVORITE BOOK'S retelling in your words. Thank you so much 🥰😭
I really enjoy these 1st Age videos with the breaking down of an incredibly complex story. Really here the elves have reached a kind of stability after the freeing of Maedhros and the crowning of Fingolfin and successfully hemming in Angbad. It has got to be from here that the Noldor elves establish their lasting legacy on Middle-Earth. That and I’m intrigued that some of the Houses of Men align themselves with the elves such as Beor entering the service of Finrod. Wondering what further factions may sprout with men swearing themselves to elves. Next up, Morgoth breaks free!
I'd love to see a recap of the Third War from Warcraft, from all the different races' perspectives, and definitely also the Founding of Durotar campaign with Rexxar.
I usually don't like your voice for kings and general's. But for fantasy like this, you are great, enjoyable and in my mind born for Tolkiens world telling. Nice
I hope this channel does not take away from the level of effort that goes into the Kings and Generals channel. The level of detail used in the Kings and Generals videos amounts to a public service. The fantasy material is entertaining but ultimately inconsequential.
If Rings of Power had only watched this channel, they would've seen how good Tolkien was and would've never strayed from his writings. Great job on this vid!
Morgoth is the true evil of his age. Even sauron was his disciple morgoth is the real creator of evil. ❤️❤️❤️ . Thank you for your time and hard work and dedication towards these videos.
Neither this video or the following one mentions Glaurung's first appearance and ultimate defeat at the hands of Fingon and his company of mounted archers in F.A. 260 ...where Glaurung defiled Ard-Galen. Not a major battle, but I feel still worth covering in these videos.
holy hell! I have to watch this twice and in 0.75 speed in order to understand all of the content over here! 😂🤣 Tolkien is indeed the father of fantasy & it requires me to spare some amount of concentration & understanding to fully grasp the idea on what is going on here! lololol
Maedhros had as little thought of faith as had he, but whereas both came with more force than was agreed, Morgoth sent the more. Blah blah blah Then Fingon the valiant resolved to heal the feud that divided the Noldor,✊️
Wait what? 3:45 seconds in. He says about Fingolfin chasing the orcs who "caused the death of his youngest son" wtf??? Fingolfin had 3 children; 2 sons Fingon and Turgon & a daughter his youngest Aredhel. Does this guy really know Tolkien all that well? I think that another child was hinted at in some of Unfinished Tales works but it was definitely NOT canon
3:50 and which child of Fingolfin was that? Hos youngest was Aradel who died in Gondolin hundreds of years later. Amazon making shit up i expect. But you? I thought you were better then that
He had already lost his power so the ring wouldn't have helped him become any more powerful than Sauron would have been with it in his possession. Though, it would have shifted Mordor's priorities toward even more wanton destruction and deliberate chaos. Sauron was rather rational and even reasonable in comparison to Morgoth.
Byzantine empire wasnt TURKISH its like saying you like gondor learn orcish cause basically the Turks destroyed the Byzantine empire , I am greek i have nothing against the turks but that triggered me
4:06 Actually, it was more the creation of Yavanna and Nienna. 8:39 I think you got that wrong, Belerand was the kingdom of Elu Thingol and he made it clear that the Noldor could make their kingdoms anywhere they wanted except where his people lived. Plenty of places in the south, away from the war, yet they all go up north? Which is alrealdy crowded with elves?
Tolkien's division of the race of man is very clearly based on the popular division of the racial types of Europe at the time he wrote - Tall and fair Nordics, Slim and dark Mediterranean's, and stocky but middle coloured Alpines.
@@ryancruz1876 I encourage you to actually use quotes if you think you have anything worthwhile to say. Vague "i encourage" inferences are meaningless and trite.
@@Matt_AlaricTolkien explicitly states in his letters that it’s incorrect to characterize his work as “nordic” because the word is racist and “northern” because the north is direction of evil in his stories. Also, Tolkien publicly and privately spoke out against racism and racial separatism throughout his life. He literally said in his Oxford Valedictory speech “I have a hatred for Apartheid in my bones” and called Hitler a “ruddy ignoramus” in a letter. It is absolutely insane that anyone would ever think that Tolkien was “nordic”. Please don’t try to map your own beliefs onto famous authors. That never ends well.

When's your next Sci-Fi video? Seriously how long are you going to make all of us wait? Will you do it if enough people complained?
Oh, boy. I sure hope nothing bad happens to those Edain living so up north and close to Angband. It surely be bad if the lineage of their leaders got cursed, or something.
Nah, that seems pretty unlikely. I'm sure the next video will reveal that everything went extremely well. :D
I mean it would be weird if one of them was tied to the top of mountain and cursed by primordial entity , later killing himself out of misery, but nah that's kinda too dark for Tolkien, isn't it? 🙃

Fingolfin was calm and reserved,Fëanor was rash and stubborn, it's not because Fingolfin was more talented. Fëanor was his own worst enemy.
Its amazing to see these huge, epic conflicts of the First Age that almost make everything we see in the Second and Third Ages, War of the Last Alliance, and War of the Ring seem like nothing by comparison.
Some second age battles are equally as large
Maybe in the battles, but I think that Númenór in its peak, was something incomparable, the Great Army of Ar-Pharazôn in particular.
You bring this world to life with such tragedy and charisma. I'm sure Tolkein himself would be humbled by the effort and care your writers put into his work.
Amazing how you see both Isaac and Prometheus in Maedhros but "remixed" in a novel way. Tolkien knew his stuff.
