Very cool! Is the chronicler a historical person, by the way? Especially while describing the conflict the politics of the chronicler seem relevant and had me wondering.
Yes, he is, writing from the perspective of a scholar during the fourth age, a member of the eventual culture the atlas is moving towards. While the author (being a scholar) aspires to generality and objectivity, all accounts I will produce are contextualized in that they come with a certain cultural and historical perspective!
Great as always.
(The background music gets loud and it gets difficult to hear the narration approaching the 8 min mark, fyi)
Thanks! I will account for that in future videos!

On certain parts the music is overwhelming your narration. May be a slight reduction in volume during voice overs?
