Can you may add the time stamps into the description? This would be cool as we could use RUclips newest feature seeing the time stamps in the timeline in the video;)
Middle Earth was much bigger in the First Age. The battle against Morgoth (OG Dark Lord) was so destructive that it caused the western half of the continent to sink into the ocean. If he ever made a video where he builds a map of the lost regions of Middle Earth, we could call that "second map". ;)
So I'm a long time lotr fan but mostly through the movies. I read lotr and Hobbit ages ago but am only just now getting into the 1st and 2nd age stuff. Wasn't the flooding of numemor what really changed the map so to speak?
@@jkfozul2316 In a way it did. There were two major changes in the structure of the world after the Quendi (Elves) and the Hildar (Men) awoke, though there were several destructions and rebuildings around the battles, that the Valar fought against Morgoth (still named Melkor back then) before the awaking of the elves at Cuivienen. The first one of these later changes was the devastation, that the War Of Wrath brought upon the lands of Beleriand, the continent that sunk after the years of battle fought in this war. According to "The Tale of Years" the War of Wrath lasted more than 4 decades! So great were the destructive powers of the host of the Valar and the armies of Morgoth, that the continent was utterly demolished and sunk soon after the war ended in the victory of the Valar. The second change was more fundamental in a way though. Around 3300 years later, when the Numenoreans pride was finally overflowing and spilled war on the shores of the undying lands, the Valar renounced the Government of Arda and Iluvathar sank the continent of Numenor. An interesting side fact is that after the downfall of Numenor the island was referred to in Adunaic as Akallabeth, 'The Fallen', while in Quenya 'The Fallen' means 'Atalante'... which sounds strangely familiar. But the sinking of that proud civilization was not the only change! Iluvathar changed the shape of the world from a plain to a globe, with Valinor being taken out of this world, only to be reached by secret passages granted to the remaining Eldar in Middleearth. This was done to prevent anyone from entering the resting place of the Valar, that was not meant to be there (the Humans). The one passage most used was the "last straight road", the way on which the ships from the Grey Havens travelled. It was called the last straight road because naturally on a globe all roads are crooked and bent. Not so that particular passage, on which the ships of the Eldar took a straight course, out of the waters into the ethereal Lands of Valinor.
Most of the names come from Sindarin, but their variations may come from Quenya, which is another elvish language or from the Dwarves’ language, for exmaple: Khazad (Dwarf language): Dwarf Dûm: Mansion, excavation etc. Moria (Sindarin): Mor: Abyss Ia: Dark

I love Tolkien's universe, so I excitedly put this on to fall asleep to. What I didn't take into account is...that I love Tolkien's universe. I watched the entire video with intrigue and didn't even attempt to sleep. Well, time for another video.
Hey, I don't usually comment, but I feel like I owe you a big thank you. I'm usually a very positive and optimistic person, but last year I experienced 2 suicides and my health went really downhill. This year hasn't been easier with a big family fight, the pandemic and my final exams stressing the hell out of me. I used to stay awake the whole night being too anxious to sleep, but thanks to you I can forget about the pain for a while and at least manage to get some relief for a few hours.... I just wanted to thank you for doing what you do❤ keep it up!
@vanxssa. 02 Thank you so much for the feedback! I’m so glad to be able to help somehow through a stressful time. To hear that, really motivates me to keep recording. Be well, and stay safe ❤️
These are the best asmr videos to watch whenever you’re super sleepy. But I’m also high AND super sleepy and these videos are even better. I love you man and I swear, Swedish people are a different breed. They’re so nice and optimistic and inspiring. I have a really close friend for Sweden and then I have these videos of you? If you two are like this then the whole Swedish population must be great. Proving what I said earlier to be true!! Damn I’m high
I’m also very impressed - for someone who’s only read a couple of the books you have a great grasp of the map and the naming conventions - you’ve done your homework!
Thank you so much for all the videos you make and all you’ve done for the ASMR community as a whole! You’ve helped me relax and sleep, and this channel overall is a great influence and safe place to come and chill out 😴
I am working on reading the Lord of the Rings series right now! I am so glad RUclips recommended this to me, thank you for this video, can't wait to explore your channel and watch more of them
Just the use headphones for best experience part makes me want to turn off the lights, hop into bed and go to sleep. I think the next map drawing video should be Norway, all the fjords should be fun.
This style was amazing. Very creative! Thank you so much for your content. Your videos remind me of The French Whisperer. Both of you don’t spam with daily/weekly videos. Your videos are planned well and give a lot of information. Thank you for your hard work.
Your attention to detail is amazing. You truly have an artists vision my friend. Your Middle Earth related videos are some of my favorites so cant wait to fall asleep to this tonight. The chalk sounds were ridiculously gentle and relaxing as well. PLUS TIME CODES??!! Thank you ASMRctica!
@@ASMRctica ASMRctica ASMR Always a pleasure Jay! PS Your instagram photos of nature have been especially magical recently too. Looking forward to the next ones!
Nice to see Arachir Galu getting a shout out - one of my favourite channels and I assumed a relatively untouched gem for those who weren’t into lord of the rings mods!
Right! I was just watching this video after being a long time fan of Galu. Crazy he just happened to be mentioned. His memory lives on though his days of RUclips are gone!
Always such an amazing experience to watch your maps come to life! Hope to get another ramble video from you soon just to catch up on how you're doing 💖 thank you for beautiful work as always!
Mexerus right! Like off the top of my head Queen at live aid probably has hundreds of not thousands of dislikes. Maybe you don't like Queen somehow or live recordings are your thing sure. But I still don't see how that translates into hundreds or thousands of dislikes
I loved loved loved the chalkboard drawing! Please do another! Your pace, style of writing /drawing was so wonderful! Maybe you Gould do more micro sections of the map, like the shire, mordor or murk wood.
You could also do the map of Beleriand. Most people won't be too familiar with it but you could get lots of people interested in the actual depth of Tolkien's world. And thanks for taking my recommendation!
I loved this, I was waiting for a lord of the rings map and its cool that this was 3d as well. Can't wait for the traditional map also, wonder if you'll make it look vintage.
I think that the best video that you could put out next would be to take all of you’re old maps and sketches and tap on all of them similar to the intro
It might take you a while but doing more maps of countries will encourage more people to buy their own. I’d love there to be one of Colombia for instance. Great video as ever.
I know it's not the most interesting of places...but if you could do a map drawing of Colorado that would be amazing. You're the best ASMRtist out there, keep up the incredible work!
Love this amazing work I think its art, The only channel where I will watch all videos, I have to spend alot of time finding the voice quality and I will be honest low quality sometimes works better aswell as I prefer smaller channels.

It would be cool if you drew the map on a book then did tapping with it and pointing out features and stuff
Can you may add the time stamps into the description? This would be cool as we could use RUclips newest feature seeing the time stamps in the timeline in the video;)
The new comment layout is so trash, the timestamps only make the comment section disappear, any solutions?
Draw minas tirith
Similar to how you drew the lonely mountain
The voice, the maps, the gentle personality, the creativity. Hands down my favorite ASMR Channel.

Great comment :)

I just gotta say your intro is so so creative and the “use headphones for best experience” ALWAYS gives me tingles.
It’s actually my favorite part of every single video (the intro)
Ahh, I remember when i used to get tingles
must be nice

Finally! The one map to rule them all.

We've had one map yes, but what about second map?
I don't think he knows about second map
Lolol I almost missed that! Nice little boomerang affect! Lol

LOTR is my favourite movie / novel series and your chalkboard drawings are my favourite ASMR videos. I can't describe how much this has made my day.

Would highly recommend looking into the maps of "Azeroth" from the World of Warcraft
There are so many super cool maps from WoW and the lore involved is impressive. What would be interesting too is if he did pre-cataclysm and post!
Yes please do or Argus
Yes! WoW has many great, great zones!
Totally agree, would be HUUGE TOO so alot of content

You deserve a gift from Galadriel for this one. You’ve also given me an idea - chalkboard maps for teaching geography during home school.
@Gone2krypton X haha Thank you so much 😃 So glad you found inspiration in this video!
You should do a map of Hyrule from the legend of Zelda

Let's be honest, ASMR would totally be a popular elven artform...
Wait, how old is ASMRctica again?
The years of the undying are not counted.
I feel like 25+
I mean in the books Elves were so good at poems and songs that the hobbit's reactions were of ecstasy. It could easily be tingles.
I am starting to do research in ASMR in my Experimental Psychology class this fall! I might just cite some of your videos as helping with relaxation.
@SAD EGG Wow that’s great :D
The intro gets me everytime ;D
especially the marker used !! I’ve been hoping for a vid using that pen for so long
As if the magic from Middle Earth itself seeped into your hands and made you make this masterpiece

Excited for the merch! I’d love to see mugs with your maps on them, or even a shirt / mug that says “thanks for your fantastic support”!
@Wowo The Wizard haha That’s a great idea!! Thanks so much 😃 (for your fantastic support)
I learned some elvish (Quenya) a few years ago. You are doing a pretty much a great pronunciation. I did read all the books.
Hey you actually did it, I saw a comment requesting it oh wow, goes to show that you listen to your fans, anyways good video
I requested it in the game of thrones video.
Oh I loved this!!! LOTR + ASMR, can’t ask for anything better in quarantine
European ASMRtists are amazing with their pronunciations. Very soothing
Fantastic video! Such a unique way to show the maps. You’re a natural film maker and great asmrist. Thank you Xx

Awesome! You should do the Marauder's Map from Harry Potter next!
I would love to see a map of the Roman Empire during the rule of emperor Trajan
Oh, then it would be the largest!
The excitement i had when i saw this video is immeasurable.
Since you did your Hiragana video I still hope for a drawing of the map of Japan :o That would be so awesome!

if you dont have it already, you definitely need the historic atlas of middle earth. In this book, there is everything ^^
It even tells you how many miles the fellowship traveled each day. It's awesome
This man. He doesn't fail to impress.

happy your back! Looking forward to future videos!
I don’t understand why people dislike videos, if you don’t like it just don’t watch it
people have to watch the video to judge whether they like it or not.
Tbh I think there is a system to put dislikes on videos I've never ever seen a video over 1k views with no dislikes
Mexerus right! Like off the top of my head Queen at live aid probably has hundreds of not thousands of dislikes. Maybe you don't like Queen somehow or live recordings are your thing sure. But I still don't see how that translates into hundreds or thousands of dislikes
