The Battle of Gondolin was actually directly inspired by Tolkiens experiences during WWI. Early versions of the story also included the armies of Morgoth using advanced mechanical contraptions such as armoured personell carriers and tanks.
As usual, I learn more from you about JRRT's stories, and that makes what i read more easier to understand. Thank you, from the bottom of my 70 year old heart.
Tolkien managed to combine so many standalone legends, stories and tales into one universe spanning thousands of years. And it all looks sound and coherent. What a literary prodigy.
The name Beren was placed on his headstone, just as the name Luthien was on his wife's. Perhaps even now they're together in the hemlock glade beneath the moonlight.
Darth Vader if you interested I talked about all factions of elves in my Silmarillion book Club session. You can find it by searching Estelore on RUclips
I support this as well. There are quite a few Elven races out there, and I find it difficult to keep them apart. I am only familiar with the Noldor and Sindar. Noldor were the ones that journeyed to Valinor and the Sindar didn't, they choose to stay in the forest of Doriath, correct? But there are other Elven races as well. Like the lowly Silvan Elves, and the bright blonde Elves who only live in Valinor.
Sander Skovly Silvan are descendants of Teleri(they fell away from the Great Journey), which were rude and rustic and later ruled by the Sindar elves when they came and merged together
Darth Vader at first there was Minyar Nelya and Tatyar. All the Minyar half the tartar and 46 out of 74 nelyar when on the great march, becoming Noldor Vanyar and Teleri. Those who stayed became Avari and were led by Morwë and Nurwë. Some Teleri broke of at the Anduin and became Nandor, led by lenwë. They spread out and mixed with Avari to become Silvan. Denethor lenwë’s son led some Nandor into Beliriand and they became Lauquendi or green elves. The Teleri sundered again when Círdan led some to the coast and became Falathrim, Olwë led some to Valinor and became Falmari and the rest became Eglath. The Eglath, Falthrim and Laiquendi were all Sindar and after the fall rules over the silvan
I don't know how many times I've read the books, I never remembered the chance (almost) meeting in middle earth between Tuor and Turin in the hills. So cool for you to point that out. Gave me a chill. Great video, and can't wait until next week. Thanks you for you videos, insights, and opinions, as always
Riakm Thanks for letting me know about "The Fall of Gondolin". Having moved and working hard on my new place I have not been aware of the publishing of this book or "Beren and Luthien". Thanks for helping me get caught up!
Riakim - Is this for real? Is there actually a book called The Fall of Gondolin? I guess I should just google it. If it exists and you have read it by now can you tell us if it is a good book to read, or is it more similar to a documentary recording the fall of this city? Thanks in advance for your response!
Started watching your videos a few months ago and absolutely love them! always very descriptive and leaves you wanting more. Since watching your videos I've started reading through all of tolkiens books again and find as much enjoyment out of them as the first time i read them.
I love this part in The Silmarillion! Andi it is so fitting given the fact that The Fall of Gondolin just came out a few days ago! :) I do find it sad that it is the last book that will ever be released under Tolkiens name. But hey: all things must come to an end eventually! :) This first part was so amazing, Yoystan, can't wait for the next one! :)
but this series ended early. like a man who died in the middle of his prime. there was still a lot of potential for greatness! 2 bad tolkien got old..... I wish he was a numenorean!
Another great video, can't wait to see Part 2! Also can't wait to see either an Epic Character history of Thingol and Melian, or even a Region Spot Light on Doriath..keep up the great work!!!
I think the same about Tuor too... but Beren is a bit more awesome! *Beren is Tolkien that is why...* Thanks again for Middle Earthing my Week of hard work...Until Part 2 and Reading...Marion Baggins Out!!!
Beren and Luthien, greatest love story. I agree, Tuniviel. Lol. Did you remember the part of Tuor seeing Turin in the wilds. I never had. Sooo cool, got a chill. Hope you had a good week, as always Mellon and have Labor Day off. Just as Tuor and Turin almost had a chance meeting in Middle Earth, an interesting one would be you and I. Lol.
You have done a fantastic job in renewing my interest in LOTR Men of the West and thank you for putting the time and effort in making these amazing videos . I personally think the Men of the West Theories ’ series was my favourite series as I quite enjoyed listening to you make up theories on the various topics you discussed and I do hope you continue the series in the future. A few theories I think would make quite interesting topics are: 1. What if Old Man Willow got the Ring of Power 2. What is Ar-Phazon’s army and/or Numenor survived 3. What if Morgoroth never tainted the world and/or spread lies and corruption among the Children of Illuvatar Can’t wait to see the many amazing videos that are to come to this channel! :)
I found it tragic and yet was glad that Tuor and Turin met unknowingly but didn't speak. As nice and heart warming as it would've been for the two cousins to have united (like their fathers). Yet it would have been a disaster as Tuor would've most likely have been intwined with Turins curse that Morgoth gave to his family. So maybe it was for the best that they didn't meet properly. Also in the Children of Hurin book, apparently when Turin was in Nargothrond, he did hear tidings about Tuor....but sadly he didn't question the news any further coz of the Dragon problem. 🐉
How about a reading of the Hobbit from start to finish? In a few pieces maybe! At least 30 mins a time so i can smoke my pipe and drift off into middle earth for a while. Love ur channel!
I love the Kurgen (from Highlander) made a guest appearance in the artwork :) His armor always seemed to be more at place in Middle-Earth than late 15th century earth :). Please keep up these videos I love them. Helps to end my day on a high note after I get home from work :)
I am currently devouring the Silmarillion, of the Noldor and the great yet fired spirit of Feanor. This video is a great foretelling and companion for this Bible of European-inspired mythology.
The theophany of Ulmo before Tuor at Vinyamar is one of my favorite moments in The Silmarillion. Ulmo is my favorite Vala. He seems more attentive to the needs of Middle Earth and its peoples even than Manwe. And remains involved in Middle Earth when the other Valar have largely withdrawn.
Ulmo is my favorite and tulkas too love them both and like how ulmo protects gondolin , I had a dream once that I was a immortal god being with super strength like superman, super speed and flight, could heal anything and anyone with a touch make things come alive with a touch , turn anything or anyone to any creature I wanted and could shoot solar beams out of my hands etc and brought enlightenment and prosperity to middle earth after sauron died, I tamed Shelob by beating her up and the people of Gondor had a huge supply of spider silk to make elaborate fine clothes, dresses, shirts, pants , hats and rope and tapestries and it's spider silk it made their clothes bullet proof basically being safer if attacked and made gondor more wealthy and went to moria to help clear out the orcs for the dwarves to recolonize it and Killed the watcher lake monster at moria and brought it to gondor and people had a big feast eating lots of sushi that night and boy did they feast and for some reason they teriyaki, orange and Wassabi sauces but I couldn't eat it 🤢, so i asked them to just cook me a whole beef cow filling a table full of beef etc with a pile of melted cheese, ale and pipe weed and we celebrated , Me and Gandalf had a blowing smoke contest with our smoke pipes, and just watching the people live simply, happy and blessed lives made me feel happy and content and I'll come around once every few months or so with mighty catches I get from strong monsters and creatures giving to them to feast on, make fine furs and clothes, jewelry etc, or find a big stash of gold, jewels or metals that I find or mine and so forth and so forth just living as middle earth protector and sustainer lol 😎😙
Could you do a lore review on a middle earth themed game called war in the north?I have been playing and I am wondering if it is lore friendly, i think it is but I would like a second opinion.
Me and my wife love the game and have played it in and out, it just sucks with the glitches. I got the bonus ranger armor when I pre-ordered it for the PlayStation 3. The game is absolutely beautiful along with the music, and it has pretty good lore behind it.
The need for secrecy was very important considering that the Melkor was able to turn captured elves into spies which is why Turgon eventually did not even allow people to leave except at great need of the city.
The Children of Hurin, the Tale of Beren and Luthien, and the Fall of Gondolin are the most amazing stories from the Silmarillion. Just IMHO. lol. Although..although...I give honorable mention to the History of Numenor.
@@sofiu-v3p Yes I love how cool umos was and protecting gondolin , I had a dream once that I was a immortal god being with super strength like superman, super speed and flight, could heal anything and anyone with a touch make things come alive with a touch , turn anything or anyone to any creature I wanted and could shoot solar beams out of my hands etc and brought enlightenment and prosperity to middle earth after sauron died, I tamed Shelob by beating her up and the people of Gondor had a huge supply of spider silk to make elaborate fine clothes, dresses, shirts, pants , hats and rope and tapestries and it's spider silk it made their clothes bullet proof basically being safer if attacked and made gondor more wealthy and went to moria to help clear out the orcs for the dwarves to recolonize it and Killed the watcher lake monster at moria and brought it to gondor and people had a big feast eating lots of sushi that night and boy did they feast and for some reason they teriyaki, orange and Wassabi sauces but I couldn't eat it 🤢, so i asked them to just cook me a whole beef cow filling a table full of beef etc with a pile of melted cheese, ale and pipe weed and we celebrated , Me and Gandalf had a blowing smoke contest with our smoke pipes, and just watching the people live simply, happy and blessed lives made me feel happy and content and I'll come around once every few months or so with mighty catches I get from strong monsters and creatures giving to them to feast on, make fine furs and clothes, jewelry etc, or find a big stash of gold, jewels or metals that I find or mine and so forth and so forth just living as middle earth protector and sustainer lol 😎😙
Yoysten, there are still fun parts of the 3rd age that would be fun. Would you do one about Bree? If you haven't. Maybe in combo with something or just Bree.
I have this for a theory episode: What if Arnor never fell? As a turning point you could have the Witch King's armies fail to distract the elves from Amon Sul when he lay siege, so his armies were surrounded, forcing him to flee. After such a crippling loss and subsequent of losses he abandons Angmar and flees to Mordor, so Arnor survives relatively. So my question is what would Arnor look like after this and what role will it have in the War of the Ring?
Its kind of odd how the city was hidden yet the thumbnail shows a massive city in an open field. Surrounded by mountains sure but by no means hidden. I'm also pretty sure gondolin was built inside a mountain and was protected by runic doors and such.
It can be a great great standalone movie. Even the name itself is thrilling. "The Fall of Gondolin Part I The Hidden Kingdom and Part II The Darkest Day". In theaters at Xmas 2019-2020.
If you do Belegost and Nogrod keep in mind that there were other Dwarves in the Ered Luin that never fled to Khazad-dûm. "...but Dwarves dwelt, and still dwell, in the east side of the Blue Mountains, especially in those parts south of the Gulf of Lune, where they have mines that are still in use." - LotR, Appendix A.I.(iii).
Anyone think that maybe Middle Earth history has been perverted by it’s elf-centric lense? Why don;t we ever hear from the perspectives of the balrogs?
Supreme Lord Commander do you think, that Balrogs have soul? Do they have their own will? I am not sure. I imagine them more like animals, trained to hunt the good in Middle Earth. I don’t think, they really have perspective. Like the orcs, they exist for the sake of chaos and despair.
The types of elves: at first there was Minyar Nelya and Tatyar. All the Minyar half the tartar and 46 out of 74 nelyar when on the great march, becoming Noldor Vanyar and Teleri. Those who stayed became Avari and were led by Morwë and Nurwë. Some Teleri broke of at the Anduin and became Nandor, led by lenwë. They spread out and mixed with Avari to become Silvan. Denethor lenwë’s son led some Nandor into Beliriand and they became Lauquendi or green elves. The Teleri sundered again when Círdan led some to the coast and became Falathrim, Olwë led some to Valinor and became Falmari and the rest became Eglath. The Eglath, Falthrim and Laiquendi were all Sindar and after the fall rules over the silvan
It's a great prequel. Thank you. Tour reminds me of captain talion of the black gate. What he did in the shadow wars was amazing. Stopping mordor from marching towards the free kingdoms of middle earth, and he also could've defeated sauron if not for celebrembor's betrayal.
I'll say it again my I love your videos on follow you on everything you do a amazing job and deserve so much recognition ! the preston jacobs of the lotr lore ! keep up the good work man we love it!
I think this tale is very close to the heart of J.R.R - it is as epic, sad & beautiful as the Norse sagas that inspired him
The Battle of Gondolin was actually directly inspired by Tolkiens experiences during WWI. Early versions of the story also included the armies of Morgoth using advanced mechanical contraptions such as armoured personell carriers and tanks.
Glenn Ross really? orcs with tanks?
i realize I'm pretty off topic but does anyone know a good site to stream newly released tv shows online ?
@Markus Kelvin Flixportal :)
@Ahmed Miles thanks, I went there and it seems like a nice service :) I appreciate it!
As usual, I learn more from you about JRRT's stories, and that makes what i read more easier to understand. Thank you, from the bottom of my 70 year old heart.
Your reply is really cool to see, I'm glad you spent the time to post it. May the valar watch you.
I expect I'll be reading and learning something new from Tolkien's works till I go to the Halls of Mandos. Thanks to the Professor.
Tolkien managed to combine so many standalone legends, stories and tales into one universe spanning thousands of years. And it all looks sound and coherent. What a literary prodigy.
That fleeting moment when Turin and Tuor meet is more epic than any Stan Lee cameo in the MCU.
R.I.P John Ronald Reuel Tolkien. May the Valar watch over you and your family.
May Eru bring him ever lasting peace
Amen 🙏
The name Beren was placed on his headstone, just as the name Luthien was on his wife's. Perhaps even now they're together in the hemlock glade beneath the moonlight.
JRR has left the circles of the world, to a destiny that shall exceed even the might of the Valar.
Video about the different elves? Silvan, Sindar, and etc.

The two are cousins as well, yes?
I wonder what would've happened if they had met properly. Would've Turin accompanied Tuor to Gondolin?
I am looking forward to getting _The Fall of Gondolin_ book that came out a few days ago!

I preferred Turin's story as a teen, but have lately really been turned on to Tuor's life. Epic stories, both of them
Interesting! Thank you for explaining with cool pictures!
Wuuuut?! Posted before midnight (gmt+1), he's early!
awesome video thank you for posting it
Thank you for doing this video. The Fall of Gondolin is my favorite part of the Silmarillion. I can't wait for part 2.
This is an epic saga that should be made into a sort of prequel for the movies. It is a note worthy storyline
Can't wait for part 2!

The theophany of Ulmo before Tuor at Vinyamar is one of my favorite moments in The Silmarillion. Ulmo is my favorite Vala. He seems more attentive to the needs of Middle Earth and its peoples even than Manwe. And remains involved in Middle Earth when the other Valar have largely withdrawn.
Ulmo is my favorite and tulkas too love them both and like how ulmo protects gondolin ,

Braeden Mayhew Definitely! That’s the next Lore Review that I want to make!
Hope you get past the glitches
Me and my wife love the game and have played it in and out, it just sucks with the glitches. I got the bonus ranger armor when I pre-ordered it for the PlayStation 3. The game is absolutely beautiful along with the music, and it has pretty good lore behind it.
+Dennis Cleary You have a wife that plays these kind of videogames with you? Good job man. I am jealous, lol.
An amazing dive into middle earth once again thanks joystan!
That Turins cammeo is a great touch
Another awesome video my man.
Those who hide behind their walls, are lost.
The need for secrecy was very important considering that the Melkor was able to turn captured elves into spies which is why Turgon eventually did not even allow people to leave except at great need of the city.
Men of the west make a video based on the geographical changes of the world, arda and middle earth throughout the eges.
The whole story of the elves in middle earth is a brutal tragedy. Everything they seek they lose and everything they build is destroyed.
Can't wait for part 2 of the Fall of Gondolin.
Personally, I like the stories in the Silmarillion and Book of lost tales perhaps even more than the Lord of the rings.
The Children of Hurin, the Tale of Beren and Luthien, and the Fall of Gondolin are the most amazing stories from the Silmarillion. Just IMHO. lol. Although..although...I give honorable mention to the History of Numenor.
My favourite tale
Wonderful story and very well told.
Nice work dude

No from what i remember gondolin was built upon a hill in the valley which was hidden behind the mountains
I'm assuming u got the book. I'm loving it so far.
Where are your part 2s?
I can't see part 2 for Children of Hurin,
this vid or fellowship lore comparison.
I’m watching this while walking to school
Don't trip
Watch out for that lamp post
it's sunday.....
I'm glad I don't go to your school I have off on Sundays

It can be a great great standalone movie. Even the name itself is thrilling. "The Fall of Gondolin Part I The Hidden Kingdom and Part II The Darkest Day".
In theaters at Xmas 2019-2020.
Great video!
Awesome videos 🍻 keep it up
Arachîr Galudirithon has a channel as well with much lore and third age total war campaigns
I wish they made these into meticulously detailed open world games god that would be so cool I’d never leave the house again
That would be really awesome
I wonder why some artists, when depicting Ulmo, find it necessary to give him a trident.
Do you think they will make a trilogy on the silmarillion great video by the way 👍👍
Oh yea!
It's a great story
Do Belegost and Nogrod
If you do Belegost and Nogrod keep in mind that there were other Dwarves in the Ered Luin that never fled to Khazad-dûm. "...but Dwarves dwelt, and still dwell, in the east side of the Blue Mountains, especially in those parts south of the Gulf of Lune, where they have mines that are still in use." - LotR, Appendix A.I.(iii).

Supreme Lord Commander do you think, that Balrogs have soul? Do they have their own will? I am not sure. I imagine them more like animals, trained to hunt the good in Middle Earth. I don’t think, they really have perspective. Like the orcs, they exist for the sake of chaos and despair.
The types of elves: at first there was Minyar Nelya and Tatyar. All the Minyar half the tartar and 46 out of 74 nelyar when on the great march, becoming Noldor Vanyar and Teleri. Those who stayed became Avari and were led by Morwë and Nurwë. Some Teleri broke of at the Anduin and became Nandor, led by lenwë. They spread out and mixed with Avari to become Silvan. Denethor lenwë’s son led some Nandor into Beliriand and they became Lauquendi or green elves. The Teleri sundered again when Círdan led some to the coast and became Falathrim, Olwë led some to Valinor and became Falmari and the rest became Eglath. The Eglath, Falthrim and Laiquendi were all Sindar and after the fall rules over the silvan

Any updates on the amazon LOTR series?
can you make a epic character history about HALDIR ?
1:50 What's the Kurgan doing in middle earth?
It's a great prequel. Thank you. Tour reminds me of captain talion of the black gate. What he did in the shadow wars was amazing. Stopping mordor from marching towards the free kingdoms of middle earth, and he also could've defeated sauron if not for celebrembor's betrayal.
Memory Eternal, sub-master, John Ronald, Ruland, Tolkien!
