@@LoreOfTheRingsYT Most likely. I mean, to explain the backstory of Aragorn and the 'return of the king', Numénor, the Rings of Power/Celebrimbor and the War of the Last Alliance need to be told. The War would be the best way to end 5 seasons EDIT: It might actually just focus on a young Aragorn, so, rip?
I don’t hear your kind of accent often here in Australia so I subconsciously decide that I’m listening to an elf speaking about middle-earth lore. Your videos are great Galu. Thanks.
Very well balanced and interesting narrative that suits the podcast medium well. In a time of ever so stressful videos and pods, You succeed in making tolkiens work alive and refreshing without getting too bogged down in details. Thank you Galu. /peter
I am thrilled for these Lorecasts, thank you for doing them, and I await the next with bated breath. I like them without the music and artwork just as much as with, it's the information that I'm here for.
Thanks Arachir it is always a real treat when you publish these. With or without the photos and music in the background they are still immensely enjoyable to listen to
Great to see the lore videos make their return. Entertaining and informative as always, and thank you for continuing to post them on RUclips. Looking forward to the second half of Numenor's history.
Literally have never commented before so that tells you what a fine job you've done. I figured I'd mention that I think you will crush it making a podcast. There are already a few lotr podcasts and quite frankly you're lore videos are far superior to what's out there, which is how I found them and why I listen. I've never played your computer game, simply know you for the lore videos. All that is just to encourage you to look into a regular podcast, I think you would be very surprised how much follwing you Garner. Good luck I look forward to following.
Great idea. I normally listen to your videos as a podcast so the visuals are not as important as the info. Thanks for making these. I really enjoy the videos
After listening to the Silmarillion over and over I've come to a slightly fresh understanding of one feature of Numenor. The Valar struggled with Melkor after they entered Arda and there were unnumbered years of the Valar forming features of Arda and having them destroyed or marred by Melkor. It wasn't until the coming of Tulkas that they were able to chain him that they were able to bring about some version of their intent for the lands. That's a lot of trial and effort and they never fully succeeded. With the creation of Elenna the Valar were free to craft that land free of Melkor. Hypothetically this means that they could take their time and utilize all they learned from their struggles with Melkor to create a particularly blessed land. I had always just read the material as they created a nice place for the Dúnedain as a reward. But I think I may have underestimated just how blessed the gift was and tragic the fall of the Numenorians was.
Greetings Galu, thank you for this lore video which I never really get tired of. Please do go on with whatever plans you have and know that you'll always have my support. I wish you all humanly possible prosperity for you personally and the channel, hoping to see more videos in the not too distant future at your leisure of course. Until your next video, farewell.
So fantastic to see the 'new' lore videos. Love listening to them. Only one small element of criticism which is the lack of background music. Having that play In the background would make it perfect. Not sure if that takes a lot of time to implement or not though but it does create an atmosphere. 😁
Awesome video but something of note is that none of the Druedain perished in the destruction of Numenor. During the reign of Tar-Aldarion, the Druedain contacted him and urged him not to continue his travels and exploration, as they somehow knew something bad would come of it. Tar-Aldarion ignored them and continued his exploration, being the first king to set up havens in Middle-earth. The Druedain all left Numenor shortly afterward. Not trying to be a smart ass, just thought this was kind of a cool detail that the Druedain knew hundreds of years prior to the fall of Numenor that their exploration and conquest would lead to their downfall. Kind of plays into themes of Tolkien's writings, as the Druedain were very closely intertwined with nature, and they were the wise ones. Can't wait for the next video!
I enjoyed it very much! The Information was well assembled and well delivered, and the lack of music was actually helping in my opinion. Just two little bits, as others pointed out, Earendil was a half-elf, not human, and also Osse was a Maia, not a Vala. Other than that, I found no mistakes. Lastly, I was pretty surprised there were Druedain on Numenor, I never actually knew that.

I am fairly certain that I later corrected myself regarding Earendil. The first time I mention him I call him human but then when dealing with the lineage of Elrond and Elros, I then correctly mention his half and half.
You did say that Elwing was half and half, but you simply said "their father was a human". It's not a big deal anyway, but it serves as an explanation why Earendil is immortal, and I'm only looking to give some feedback.
Hey Galu, thanks so much for doing this, I love your lore videos. You got me into reading the Silmarillion although I disagree with you regarding the first age being boring. Keep up with the awesome lore.
Love this move Galu, looking forward to these lorecasts with the Amazon series coming up, would you consider doing discussion videos/lore focused episode reviews when the series does finally start?
The word you were looking for when describing Romenna was expeditions not exhibitions, sorry but I know how much mistakes like that bother me when I do it and though I might relieve any frustration you maybe suffering
There were some women actually ruling, at least for some time as heiresses (until a suitable husband has been found) or co-ruled with their coronated husbands. Few examples: Polish queen Jadwiga (who has been coronated king for a couple years), Elizabeth 1, Mary Stuart of Scotland. Re vid/pod: Very nice (new mic?), no music is fine, I prefer it this way, single image is fine (though some extra visual stimulus is always welcome). Lokking forward to the next one.
Johnson Truong he mentioned recently that he got hit with copyright strikes on his old lore videos and is weary of getting too many strikes. Unfortunate but understandable!
I don't know if you still read comments from your older lorecasts... but I thought I would chance it. I did enjoy your presentation, tho I do enjoy them more when you put images on the screen relevant to the subject matter. One thing I have yet to hear anyone mention is that the long life of the men of the west started immediately... as Beor the Old lived to 390 in the service of Finrod (I believe)... and so this was not new to the 2nd age. Also, if I remember right, Elros's oldest child was a girl, and it was her household that Aragorn descends from as it was that proivince that was home to the faithful.... had women been given equality back then... well, who knows?
sometimes i wonder if Tolkein had the resources we have now how his maps would look because there are no lakes or rivers in the largest forested area and i think there would be lakes at the least in Hyarrostar. and with all of those mountains I'm suprised there aren't rivers that go from higher elevations by the coast to lower elevations towards the center!!
I understand that the old lore videos was a lot of work, and I'm glad, that this method is better for you. I love your lore videos, but have you deleted the old ones? I can't seem to find them anywhere on your channel :(
Dude galu its ABOUT TIME! No offense but Honestly imo if seemed like the previous lore videos were super tedious by just listening to them. And it felt more forced by your attitude but after watchin this one sounds like ur having more fun knowing you have time and a break between videos keep it up man ur the lord of the rings grand lore master
Hi Arachîr I know this probably isn’t the best place to post this but I can’t find the steam group but I was playing DAC v3 as Rhûn and Dorwinion we’re defeated by rebels and now my biggest rival at the moment is gone and is just rebels essentially as Erebor have not reached me yet, I know this is just because of the medieval 2 campaign AI essentially not being perfect however it’s still kind of annoying, spending all that time preparing to attack. If its possible, i would suggest to set the rebels to not attack the AI and only the player. Thanks a million and I still absolutely love DAC and keep up the great work. (Sorry if my grammar makes this incomprehensible)
As with the ring, the Numenoreans were corrupted by power, not metaphorical power as with the ring but real power. This is interesting as it is pretty similar to the western expansion on the seas, we first traded with the other nations (the mercantile period) before getting to full subjugation (the imperial period). It is fascinating how through fiction can be illustrated the evolution of our societies, and especially the corruption that power exerces on the hearts of men, no matter how high even the Numenoreans are subjects to it.
So Beleriand sinks beneath the sea.... and 32 years later the swimming survivors somehow make it to the island? I'm thinking Beleriand must have sunk slowly.... Orome must have given them a heads up or something as he was obviously spending time with them for awhile... I'd love to know about these first 100 years of the 2nd age.... how did this migration happen? It is estimated it would have taken 50 years for everyone to make the journey once the island was ready.... Anyone know where these tales are written?
How come you wont add any music though? I understand the lack of images. I do like both the images and soundtrack but would prefer if you keep the music. I have listened/watched all your lore videos, fan since the start! Love the idea of podcast, and most importantly more of this type of lore content.
5 лет назад
Chiefly because almost all of my old lore videos that include LOTR music have now been copyright claimed and I don't want to risk a black mark on the channel. I could then add royalty free generic fantasy music but I think it cheapens the episode. Lastly, I am trying to steer completely away from editing these videos as much as I can and to add music every time would require some editing. I also don't think it needs music but I might, maybe, possibly, at a later date, add an intro and outro song. It will depend how these go.
I understand, too bad. Seems to me it would fall under fair usage. Perhaps i just try to find some Lotr playlist playing quietly in the background instead. ^^
I love the numenorean as a civilised society but they turned from their true purpose because they was the strongest faction in middle earth part from gods and I think the elves was scared of their might
That was a long video to say. 'I cant be arsed to use images anymore' lol
3 года назад
I went back to the original style after only 5 of these but then I stopped them altogether after a while. I don't have the time for lore videos anymore really.
Glad you are starting with Lore videos again! This is especially interesting considering Amazon's Middle-Earth series will be set in the Second Age!
Lore of Middle-Earth I hope we get some 1st age in later seasons
@@samoppedisano3994 That will not happen, as Amazon don't have those rights
Lore of Middle-Earth then perhaps Celebrimbor and stuff?
@@samoppedisano3994 Yes, that is very likely. The war of the Elves and Sauron will hopefully be portrayed!

Excellent new format. Very enjoyable summary. Cheers
Absolutely brilliant idea, I actually exclusively watch your channel for the lore stuff and this format works nicely. Cheers!
Why anyone would dislike this is beyond me. Bravo man...absolutely cool. Glad to hear this and thank you for all your work.
Look forward to many more
There are some minor errors in this video, and you know how nitpicky some people are. That's probably why.
Thanks Arachir it is always a real treat when you publish these. With or without the photos and music in the background they are still immensely enjoyable to listen to
So glad to see your still active. These are, by far, my most favorite middle earth lore videos I’ve found. Thank you.
I have been looking everywhere for an enjoyable LOTR lore podcast! Thank you so much. I am so glad you've decided to go in this direction.
So glad you decided to put these up on RUclips aswell as just a podcast, Thank You!!
Galu rambling about fountains is the deep lore I live for
Lovely work as always Galu! You never cease to make these boring!
if he never ceases to make these boring it means they're always boring :D
Great to see the lore videos make their return. Entertaining and informative as always, and thank you for continuing to post them on RUclips. Looking forward to the second half of Numenor's history.

Superb, as expected.
Dude this is awesome !
Yes ❤ thank you Galu!
I love it! Keep them coming
Introduction ends (sort of) and subject material actually begins at approximately 5:00 minute mark.
Hopefully they'll get popular enough that you'll do them bi weekly. Glad that you're back at the lore videos 😁
Very enjoyable watch (or should I say listen) !
The word you were looking for when describing Romenna was expeditions not exhibitions, sorry but I know how much mistakes like that bother me when I do it and though I might relieve any frustration you maybe suffering
Had a crack with that part, nice meme.
"... And then they went on a great exhibition to the far western lands..."
thanks love to listen!
There were some women actually ruling, at least for some time as heiresses (until a suitable husband has been found) or co-ruled with their coronated husbands.

"please don't kill us in the winter" xD
You were certainly searching for the word „Expedition“ when you were stumbling upon exhibition 😅👍🏻
"Every silver lining's got a touch of grey."
Lorecast?!! LORECAST?!!!!!! 😱😍❤😖😍
You're brilliant! Thanks a ton
Can you include the background music? It added so much to the original series of your lore videos
Johnson Truong he mentioned recently that he got hit with copyright strikes on his old lore videos and is weary of getting too many strikes. Unfortunate but understandable!
The lives of the numenoreans didn't grow lesser with time that only begins to happen when the shadow falls over Numenore

I think its all Rebell because the leaders got killed, usally normal rebells wont attack then.
Do you think there are Numenorean colonies in the lands of the sun concurrent to the war of the ring?

Why?
@ there aren't any good lord of the ring podcast and I think you could attract more people that way as well. Thank for the reply love your content

Add that map on V3 since you have a lot of open water that’s boring as fuck ....but if u added a island or islands it would make it more fun.
Ossë is a Maiar.
Apparently /r/tolkienfans doesn't like this video.
No indeed, I am rarely shown much love over amongst the 'Tolkien Elite'. I have yet to see an LOTR channel that they ever think did well.
@ Well, you are doing great work and I hope you know that. Most people aren't like the folk over there, thankfully.
