It's cool af.

[@cafeequinox2074]

I sometimes listen to this as I'm going to sleep and that part wakes me up. Same with the voice Martin Shaw does for Ungoliant. "BLACK HEART."

[@johns1625]

@@cafeequinox2074 lol I have woken up at that part before. THESE JEWELS FROM FORMENOS THEE SHALL FEED ME. YEA, WITH BOTH HANDS. 😆🙌

​@johns1625 lol its creepy AF. That voice coming from an enormous evil being but calling something worse "black heart"

The conversation concerning the oath between Maglor and Maedhros is great writing.

Eärendil is basically the most important man in Middle-Earth. Tolkien's Jesus.

Please, would you expand?

[@johns1625]

​@@JB-mb1roJesus is said to come again bearing the armaments of heaven to defeat evil for good, as Earendil did.

[@ishmaelforester9825]

@@johns1625 It's Feanor the Elves prophesized would come again. They said he would return at the last battle to redeem himself in the final defeat of evil (a Christ archetype). Erandil achieved a victory but ultimately 'fruitless' as Elrond says.

​​​@@ishmaelforester9825Dagor Dagorlath. Morgoth will return through the door of night with all who had ever served evil, from sauron and the balrogs, to ungoliant and her brood, to Maeglin the faithless, to the Istari Curunir(saruman) to even Ar-pharazon and the hosts of Numenor.
Morgoth will be held in the gaze of Mandos as Orome and Tulkas take him by his arms and legs, restraining him
And The spirit of turin will come out of Death with Gorthang, his black sword, and will gain vengeance for the house of hador and for all mankind by striking the head of morgoth from his shoulders, ending the blight of evil and restoring the world to the intent of the Ainulindale, as it was meant to be before "the marring of Arda"
Feanor is prophesied only to finally be allowed to leave the Halls of Mandos so as to relinquish his claims on the silmarils and break them open to restore the light that was before the sun and the moon.
Turin is actually the Christ analog here in this case, being resurrected to defeat evil once and for all. Feanor is a bit beyond redemption, I'd even argue that he's to be forced by necessity to relinquish and unlock the silmarils and not actually doing so willingly.
"It may be that I might unlock my jewels, but were I forced to do so, I would be slain, first of all the Eldar in Arda" Tolkien says "few have changed his heart by council, none by force". That to me implies that being forced to relinquish and unlock them is a final punishment not an act of redemption
The last point that supports this is the fact that with very very very few exceptions, ALL elves ''return", their Fea is reembodied, most remained in Valinor, some like Glorfindel returned to middle earth. But by and large all elves return.

Are you correcting the literal book itself? 😂

[@JCO2002]

Great, thanks. But, really - it all seems a bit unlikely. Almost like it's fantasy ;-).
