One small correction: It was King Brand of Dale, Bard's grandson, who fought at The Battle of Dale. After both him and Dain Ironfoot had been slain, their sons Bard II. and Thorin III. Stonehelm, led the charge from Erebor to break the siege.
The Army of the dead never came to the Pelennor fields in the books, that's just a Peter Jackson thing. In the books they are summoned and defeat the Corsairs in the coastal regions of Gondor, capturing their fleet at Pelargir. Aragorn then recruits many Gondorians who'd been held back in the southern coastal provinced for fear of Corsair invasion and raids and then they sail on the captured fleet up to the Pelennor fields. This army of Gondorians arriving instead of the expected Corsair reinforcements, coupled with the Witch King's demise breaks the morale of Sauron's forces.
Yes, you are right. I wanted to say that Aragorn stopped the Umbar pirates with the intervention of the Dead Men, but it sounded like the Dead Men intervened in the battle. I also have a video here about the Dead Men. You can take a look at it if you wish. Thank you for your comment :) ruclips.net/video/Hz6bDD2Xh6M/видео.html
The tale of Elves is kind of sad when you stop and think about it. They come into the world as the best, most powerful people of all. They have this amazing golden age, but then dark lords keep coming and making their situation worse and worse. Now, their best days are long behind them, and their only real choice is to leave the world they've called home for thousands of years and never come back. It's heart-breaking 😟
@@erikwhitney7403Leaving the only home you have ever known, which is the case for generations of Elves, to a place you have never been and can never return from, is sad when you think about it.

Excellent story-telling. I have read the Lord of the Rings books many times and seen the movies many times. Your excellent and moving narration (with illustrations) made the this wonderful story come alive again for me. Thank you.👍👍👍
Great video. Just a couple of additions. You didn’t mention the Battle of the Black Gate where Rohan and Gondor distracted the overwhelming forces of Sauron to give Frodo and Sam a chance to throw the One Ring in Mount Doom. This was a heroic last roll of the dice by the Free People’s to win the war.
Yeah...there was lot of fighting and many lands were affected quite serious engaged in warfare. In the book we get some small glimpses of things happening in the wide world in the main narrative, but indeed lotr appendices tell the most detailed tale of the war sweeping other lands. The first signs of larger scale conflict are noted with the first rumors increased numbers of dark creatures, but when Frodo looks from the Seat of Seeing on Amon Hen we get a proper insight: "But everywhere he looked he saw the signs of war. The Misty Mountains were crawling like anthills: orcs were issuing out of a thousand holes. Under the boughs of Mirkwood there was deadly strife of Elves and Men and fell beasts. The land of the Beornings was aflame; a cloud was over Moria; smoke rose on the borders of Lórien. Horsemen were galloping on the grass of Rohan; wolves poured from Isengard. From the havens of Harad ships of war put out to sea; and out of the East Men were moving endlessly: swordsmen, spearmen, bowmen upon horses, chariots of chieftains and laden wains. All the power of the Dark Lord was in motion." Elves and Dwarves were also facing overwhelming forces and barely could defend their own lands!
Small mistake in the Battle of Dale section; King Bane was dead by the time of the War of the Ring, it was his son (Bard's Grandson) Kind Brand who fell before the gates of Erebor and his son, Bard II, that led the men of Dale after this alongside Dain's son Thorin III, Stonehelm.
Yes, I made a mistake here. Thank you for correcting it. The Legendarium is so big that sometimes it is necessary to check and recheck even what you know.
They were fighting own wars in Mirkwood and lonely mountain . Legolas had that quote to Gimli saying that they had their own wars to fight . With Dain thwarting Sauron when he first inquired about the ring it left sore spot for Sauron so he unleashed his own army north .
"Yes, you have it", said Gimli."The Lady of the Wood. She read many hearts and desires. Now why did we not wish for some of our kinsfolk, Legolas?" ..., "I do not think that any would come", he answered. "they have no need to ride to war; war already marches on their own lands."
@@hawktitan7896 the Hobbits defeat him in the battle of Bywater It's because of this that he's stripped of stature and thus grima is emboldened to attack him.
this isn't even the most impressive during the destruction of the kingdom Arnor, the Hobbits were among those peoples who took up arms against the Witch King and his kingdom of Angmar. That's why the Shire lays in the middle of what was once the kingdom of Arnor.
@@davidlewis5312 up until the waning days of the Kingdom of Arnor, when divided into petty kingdoms, the Hobbits still sent archers to help their king. Being stealthy by nature they make excellent scouts and they used guerilla tactics rather than direct confrontation when fighting orcs.
Love Rohan? it’d never have existed without Galadriel’s help: saving Gondor & enabled Rohan leading to its FOUNDING. Delivered Gondor from invasion & led to the foundation of Rohan, five centuries before the LotR. This is an account on the event. * The Rohirrim were in origin the folk named Éothéod, who lived in the North. In 2510 of the Third Age Gondor was invaded by both Easterlings and Orcs at the same time. Borondir, a messenger, delivered a desperate request for aid from the Steward of Gondor to the Éothéod; for their forefathers had often been allies (check art by Julax). * Eorl the Young, the King of the Éothéod rode out on his steed Felaróf (a forefather of Shadowfax), and his mounted host followed, seven thousand strong (art by Wouter Florusse). They rode along the Mirkwood forest until they came near Dol Guldur, where the Necromancer [Sauron] had his abode; and the attacks on Gondor were according to his will... * Eorl turned away westward for fear of the dark shadow and cloud that flowed out from Dol Guldur, and then he rode on within sight of the Anduin river. Many riders looked toward the river, half in fear and half in hope to glimpse from afar the Dwimordene, the perilous land that in legends of their people was said to shine like gold in spring: Lórien. "But now it seemed shrouded in a gleaming mist and to their dismay the mist passed over the river and flowed over the land before them. Eorl did not halt. `Ride on!' he commanded. `There is no other way to take. After so long a road shall we be held back from battle by a river-mist?'" ~ Unfinished Tales; III; II (check art by Guillaume Tholly) But they saw that the white mist was driving back the glooms of Dol Guldur, and soon they passed into it, riding slowly at first and warily; but under its canopy all things were lit with a clear and shadowless light, while to left and right they were guarded as it were by white walls of secrecy: "`The Lady of the Golden Wood is on our side, it seems,' said Borondir." * Eorl was not as sure about that as the messenger but trusted in the wisdom of his horse Felaróf: "`He scents no evil. His heart is high, and his weariness is healed: he strains to be given his head. So be it! For never have I had more need of secrecy and speed.' Then Felaróf sprang forward, and all the host behind followed like a great wind, but in a strange silence, as if their hooves did not beat upon the ground." The host rode on, as fresh and eager as on the morning of their setting-out, during that day and the next (obviously thanks to Galadriel). At dawn of the third day they rose from rest and the mist was gone, and they saw that they were far out in the open lands. A crossing of the river was near and "they had come there at a speed beyond hope". The Éothéod arrived in the nick of time to rescue Gondor's army and defeat their foes (art by JB Casacop). The intervention by Galadriel both saved Gondor and ensured the foundation of Rohan, for in gratitude (and wisdom) the Steward gave Gondor's northern territory to Eorl. There the Éothéod settled, soon known as the Eorlingas or the Rohirrim, and held it until the LOTR era.
Dourhands are just a Lord of the Rings Online invention, not canon. But yes, I'd be surprised if there wouldn't have been some effort by Sauron' or the Witch King to recreate Angmar. Even if Angmar and Rhudaur were largely depopulated, they've had a thousand years to recover. And even an Angmar that was a shadow of it's former self could overrun much of Eriador. Between the Ered Luin and the Misty Mountains there's maybe a few dozen or maybe a hundred Dunedain Rangers, a similar sized force in Rivendell and a small Shire militia to fight them. Maybe that's why there are so few in the Grey Company that go south - the rest were needed to watch Angmar and the Misty Mountain goblins.
@@robinsteeden7466 the dourhands are probably my favorite faction in Lotro. I wouldn't call them evil but they're just trying to follow their king who is evil
I don't think Sauron intended to destroy Lothlorian with his force from Dol Guldur. All of those other attacks were meant to prevent a new alliance from forming between the free peoples. He concentrated on Gondor.
This was the time when the Dominion of Men was beginning. The Elves and Dwarves had suffered steady attrition for millennia. While the Elves could be reincarnated, the Valar who did this kept them in Aman and did not send any save Glorfindel back to Middle-earth. Likewise, the Dwarves had only recently recovered Erebor, and Moria had been lost to them until Galdalf killed Durin's Bane. So neither race had large armies or realms anymore. Both races were reaching the end of their time in Middle-earth. Ironically, the Hobbits and the Shire contributed virtually nothing to the war effort besides Frodo, Sam, Merry and Pippin. Yet they received far more praise than the Elves or Dwarves did.
To be fair, if Bilbo hadn’t found the ring, and if Frodo hadn’t agreed to go destroy it, nothing ANYONE did would have mattered. Like the first age, the valar would have had to intervene
@@kumabear3529 - In fairness, they were being lazy in not doing so. Sauron was *not* Morgoth. He had nowhere near so much power, nor were his armies stacked with dragons and Balrogs. Instead of five iffy "wizards" any *one* Valar could have crushed Sauron like a bug. Heck, even Eonwe, a Maia, could have probably done so. All without sinking Middle-earth.
@@kumabear3529 - Yes, but those were *individual* accomplishments. The Shire folk, who were disdainful of the idea of adventuring and did *nothing* to help with the war, were rewarded with additional lands by Aragorn and a law that forbade Men from entering without permission.
@@daniels7907 they were individual accomplishments, yes, but they were MAJOR accomplishments. For which I believe the land grants and decree against big people being barred from entry was warranted
@@kumabear3529 - So, the Hobbits of the Shire benefit from the bravery of people they had treated with disdain. But the Elves and Dwarves actually worked to help restore Gondor and Minas Tirith for no particular reward.
The Dwarves were defending the Lonely Mountain, with the aid of the Eagles and the Elves were defending Mirkwood and Lorien. They were definately not at the battle of Hels Deep.
(Adding more detail) - Here is why the elves couldn’t help as much as some may have wished at the final battles of ROTK as well as at Helms Deep from the second movie & other places from other films: By the Third Age of Middle-earth, the population of Elves had significantly decreased from their numbers in the earlier Ages. It is estimated that there were only a few thousand Elves remaining in Middle-earth by this time. One reason why Elves didn't have much military prowess to help out more in the Third Age is because they had already fought many battles in the previous Ages, & were weary of war ontop of Lothlòrien(where Galadriel is) being constantly attacked throughout this current story during the trilogy story but the movies never show it. Additionally, many of the great Elven kingdoms had already fallen, & the remaining Elves had scattered across Middle-earth, making it difficult to organize a large-scale military force. Furthermore, Elves had a deep respect for the natural world, and were hesitant to engage in battles that could harm the environment. They preferred to use their skills in magic and healing to assist in battles, rather than fighting directly. Despite their reduced numbers and military prowess, Elves still played an important role in the events of the Third Age. They were instrumental in the quest to destroy the One Ring, and many fought bravely in battles against Sauron's forces. However, they had to be strategic about their involvement, as they knew that they could not sustain heavy losses without risking the extinction of their entire race. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ In J.R.R. Tolkien's works, the exact population of Elves in Middle-earth during the Third Age is not explicitly stated. However, it is generally believed that their numbers had greatly diminished by this time, with only a few remaining Elven kingdoms & settlements scattered across Middle-earth. Some sources estimate that there may have been only a few thousand Elves left in Middle-earth by the Third Age. It is important to note that the exact population of Elves in Middle-earth is not a major focus of Tolkien's works, as he was more concerned with the individual characters & their journeys rather than the demographics of Middle-earth. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ While there are no exact figures given in Tolkien's works, some fans have attempted to estimate the population of Elves in Middle-earth during the Third Age using various mathematical models comparing to what was known about the past. One such estimate, based on the size of Elven settlements & their likely populations, suggests that there may have been around 100,000 Elves scattered across Middle-earth from different clans as it were with slightly different diverging history at certain points during the Third Age. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ The population of Elves in Middle-earth changed over time due to a variety of factors, including wars, migrations, & natural disasters. During the First Age, Elves were relatively numerous and lived in many different kingdoms & settlements across Middle-earth. However, many of these kingdoms were destroyed during the wars against Morgoth, the first Dark Lord. During the Second Age, the population of Elves began to decline as many Elves left Middle-earth to sail to the Undying Lands, a paradise-like realm across the sea. This was largely due to the influence of the Valar, the angelic beings who created the world, who offered the Elves a chance to escape the sorrows and limitations of mortal life in Middle-earth. By the time of the Third Age, the population of Elves in Middle-earth had greatly diminished. Many of the great Elven kingdoms had fallen, & the remaining Elves had scattered across Middle-earth in small, isolated settlements. This was partly due to the wars of the First Age and the destruction of many Elven kingdoms, as well as the gradual decline of the Elves' power & influence in Middle-earth. Overall, the population of Elves in Middle-earth declined over time, with many Elves leaving for the Undying Lands & many others being killed in wars and other conflicts. By the end of the Third Age, the Elves' numbers had greatly diminished, & they were a shadow of their former glory in Middle-earth. It’s been their fight for ages alone before Men came along and many of them befriended Men from the very beginning. They share the same fights/The same histories etc! Let’s just say it used to be a few million so imagine what Galadriel & her husband have seen regarding experiencing their entire race that still dwelled upon middle earth nearly being wiped out into extinction…
Why wasn't Saruman brought back to life after he was killed, as was Gandalf when he was killed killing the Balrog? For that matter, why didn't the Balrog come back to life?
Given that they reach sexual maturity at about 100 years old but live for thousands of years without aging why are there not many many more elves in Middle Earth?
Part of your question is the answer, and the other part is Elvish culture itself. An Elf is but a child until 100 so roughly 5x as long as a human to mature, so humans would have many generations of children to 1 elf generation. Even so many elves chose not to reproduce until a much later age Arwen was 3000 years old and still a maiden before she married and reproduced. So, let's assume that is extreme and half that is the normal age, 1500 years for an elf couple to meet, marry, and begin to bear children. In the same 1500 years 1 human couple would have sired 60 generations of descendants. Assuming just 3 children per couple per generation (pretty low for a Middle Ages based society), the math is staggering. Look at the US as a great example there were an estimated 2.5 million people in the US in 1776 when independence was declared, now less than 350 years later there are 333 million people (yes you have to account for immigration, but that is math for a statistician not me lol). Finally, elves generally married for life and did not take another partner even on the death of their spouse (there are limited exceptions), so war would have an even greater impact on the ability to grow their population than it would among humans who often remarry after the loss of a spouse. So, after so many wars over the 1000s of years there would be a considerable number of widowed/widowered elves that were partnerless and not procreating.
If only instead the Rings of Power, that has just ruined all the beautiful characters and the story itself, Amazon has chosen to cover this part of the Lord of the Rings....It would have been epic battles, would have had plenty of space to introduce new characters with a meaningful personal story and contribution. It wouldn't have been necessary to make Galadriel this insufferable and stupid bimbo in the first place and Elrond a man model without honour and...I couldn't shake the feeling that they only set themselves to ruin LOTR of Peter Jackson ...but instead make us revisit it so many times that I hardly distinguish from it and the book.
They were protecting their own lands from attack. At least, Galadriel was. Lothlorien was assaulted three times by armies from Dol Guldur during the final Battle before Gondor. And three times she repelled them because, according to Tolkien in his LOTR timeline-appendix, “none could have prevailed against the Power [Galadriel] that dwelled there, unless Sauron had come in person.” So the elves had to battle for their territories, and the War of the ring was a war for men to wage, anyhow. The elves were heading West forever.
This is just my opinion but I don’t feel like you answered your own question. You did not touch on where the elves were at the war but only mentioned the one that occurred in the hobbit
I think it's worth mentioning that we can see full-grown Uruk-hai being pulled out of a membrane, but humans need to be born, grow for years, and learn. This puts the humans at a decided reinforcement disadvantage. It would take a human years to match the size and power of the Uruk-hai.
Yeah all Orcs descended from corrupted Elves courtesy of Melkor (Morgoth). Peter Jackson took some serious artistic liberty with the Uruk-hai "birthing". My headcannon for it was that a regular orc was put in the membrane & through metamorphosis became the Uruk-hai.
@@jt5765 Or Saruman using magic to speed up their maturation process. The reason they had to do that was because of the timeline shift... in the book, there's 17 years between Bilbo's party and Frodo leaving the Shire. Saruman started his conversion of Orthanc (and breeding his army) right around the time of the party, meaning his first generation would be functionally adults. But, in the movie, Frodo leaves the Shire MAYBE a year (or less) after the party. So there simply wasn't time for Saruman to do it the normal way. Not if they wanted to show Gandalf riding to Isengard BEFORE it's full of war machines, which probably would have made him suspicious.
I read "Elves" as "Elvis." "Why didn't Elvis come to Gondor." Now I'll spend the rest of my life wondering why THE KING did not go to Gondor... The real Return of the King!
I would of love to see the war in North in great detail and well explain and no add on where it won't makes sense come to a movie at least 2 movies. But we'll explain. Where it makes you fall in love with the characters from the north. And using the same cast in lord of the rings and hobbit movies.
There’s thousands of videos on this topic already, especially from the channels I follow. Can yall come up with more topics than the same ones? As a fan I’m being so serious! We all know they were at war as well. WE KNOW!!!!
Are you following book chronology or movie? The Army of the Dead never made it to Minas Tirith and Pelennor Fields. They defeated the pirates and then Gondors western forces arrived on the ships and helped win the battle not the AOTD as the film showed.
Yes, you are right. I wanted to say that Aragorn stopped the Umbar pirates with the intervention of the Dead Men, but it sounded like the Dead Men intervened in the battle. I also have a video here about the Dead Men. You can take a look at it if you wish. Thank you for your comment :) ruclips.net/video/Hz6bDD2Xh6M/видео.html
The battle of Osgilliath purpose was not to win. it's to whither the enemies troop. The steward was an idiot, but not his son. They might of done better, if it wasn't for the Steward. The ruins are great for Guerilla warfare, but not a place to hold. The river does give some defense, but with their numbers, there was no way to hold the area. Farimir was always a guerilla fighter though.
Denethor wasn't a idiot in my opinion, but since he used the palantir and Sauron just let him see what he wanted to, his decisions where intrigued by Sauron. Faramir indeed is a much stronger character in the books than in the movie, that's correct.
I liked the idea of having Elves come to the aid of the Men the way they did in the movies. That was a cool little touch. However, if I had been Peter Jackson, I would have had them come to Minas Tirith instead of Helm's Deep. Helm's Deep was sort of Rohan's fight, while Minas Tirith was the fight where the whole of Middle Earth was rallying together to stop Mordor. Plus, in all reality if the Elves had been at Helm's Deep, all those Elves would have been of fighting caliber similar to Legolas, which means Isengard would not have stood a chance and the defenders would have completely cleaned house. So if I had been Jackson, I would have sent Haldir and the Lorien Elves to Minas Tirith in Return of the King instead of Helm's deep.
sauron was a bad strategist, hit one enemy at a time and fast enough so help wont arrive in time, could aid saruman more he had the troops, gondor wouldnt help, but i guess getting troops from mordor to isengard would mean to go thru gondor anyways
Bugger the Elves. Where was Elvis? Why didn't Elvis come to Gondor's aid? Instead of the miserable, low-down death he had, sitting on the thunderbox, he could have died in battle on the Pelinor Fields, where there was a whole lotta shakin' goin' on. Ask the hard questions. The Colonel is onto you, boy!
That is part of the LOTR I do not like,Instead of Army of Dead,Tolkien should put Elvish Army to come and save Gondor.I know this a tale,but everythng is still realistic instead those dead under spell,it seems like Aragorn have some wizards powers
I wish you explain it better. You should of explain what happened in the battle of the gate. The reason why the sight of the Eagle was important, was that it meant the Elves won the battles to the North. That improved the Morale of the Humans, and demoralized the Orcs. I hated Peter Jackson had elves fight at the Horn. THis change meant Galadriel had spare troops, but the war she fought was brutal. Oh and Elrond sent his son to help in Umbar. I thought Elrond had more military input , but couldn't find it on any Wiki.
no no no no no you can't just SKIP OVER the fact that the MOVIE has Rohan winning Helm's Deep and TH E BOOK has an army of ENTLINGS annihilate the uruk hai army
@@nigeljames5622 the only one to go early to explore Arda was Olórin. Gandalf named Olórin created by Eru’s Thought (extensions of Eru Îlluvatar himself whilst they had their own free will & individuality. He essentially got the chance to experience and study other parts of himself through this.) among the other Ainur before the Years of the Lamps roughly 9,000+ years before arriving in Middle-earth; In Valinor he was known as Olórin.(Remember though he formally existed before the world existed and his form becoming Gandalf hadn’t happened yet. He was sent to Middle-earth in human form around the year 1000 of the Third Age. So his many forms had different ages in length of existing. He’s very cool right! Could he get any cooler!? 😎❤️ Another thing is when he arrived in middle earth he was disguised as an elf & lived among them whilst they were unknowing & he became to be known as Mithrandir to the Quendi/Eldar❤️ He could have very well dwelled with the elves far earlier just do to his curiosity & simple desire to explore and be around the firstborn (TheElves) Gandalf The Grey/White Estimated at 15,000 years old (following his quote "300 lives of men, I have walked this earth"), It says that Gandalf was the wisest of the Maiar besides Melian herself. There were a lot of Maiar that were considered really great and powerful. However, there is a much longer answer. Like Sauron(former name is Mairon) & the other Istari (the order sent around the same time & of which he was appointed leader but he being who he is & a student of the Vala by the name Nienna & Lorien(Irmo). Gandalf was a Maiar, an angelic spirit created by Eru at the beginning of time and therefor one of the many Ainur who sang the world into being & Eru just helped their creation take shape and basically stated “behold YOUR creation” & basically what happens in that world goes sort of preordained as by that song eons ago so really only the ages after Dagor Dagorath will truly be an age that isn’t full of strife; sadness; and longing. Also. These lamps are what were before even the two trees. These were Giant mountains but also like light houses but housing a great power but it may have also been where two special Maia lived that helped in the creation in the sun and moon after Melkor With eldrich terror Ungoliant killed the trees, so yea “Arien” is the Maia who basically exists with the sun and her brother and or lover of sorts is the one who wanders with and guides the moon. Of which that other Maia was “Tillion” Galadriel herself not only witnessed this but as a student of Aulë and the other Valar she obviously had involvement in helping create the hallowed objects that housed the final flower of the silver tree Telperion that was the father of the moon and the mother of the sun was Laurëlin the golden tree and prior to the sun and moon they too used to wax and wane!
No, you are wrong. Only the sound is AI I've already said that in previous videos. The text is mine, the music is already in the description, it's true that I sometimes use midjourney in the visuals, but what's the harm in that?
Gondor: “Will you help me?”
Rohan: “Erabor, Lorien, Aid us!”
Elves and Dwarves: *currently under siege* “I’M A LITTLE BUSY AT THE MOMENT!”

It was King Brand of Dale, Bard's grandson, who fought at The Battle of Dale. After both him and Dain Ironfoot had been slain, their sons Bard II. and Thorin III. Stonehelm, led the charge from Erebor to break the siege.

Yeah...there was lot of fighting and many lands were affected quite serious engaged in warfare. In the book we get some small glimpses of things happening in the wide world in the main narrative, but indeed lotr appendices tell the most detailed tale of the war sweeping other lands. The first signs of larger scale conflict are noted with the first rumors increased numbers of dark creatures, but when Frodo looks from the Seat of Seeing on Amon Hen we get a proper insight:
"But everywhere he looked he saw the signs of war. The Misty Mountains were crawling like anthills: orcs were issuing out of a thousand holes. Under the boughs of Mirkwood there was deadly strife of Elves and Men and fell beasts. The land of the Beornings was aflame; a cloud was over Moria; smoke rose on the borders of Lórien. Horsemen were galloping on the grass of Rohan; wolves poured from Isengard. From the havens of Harad ships of war put out to sea; and out of the East Men were moving endlessly: swordsmen, spearmen, bowmen upon horses, chariots of chieftains and laden wains. All the power of the Dark Lord was in motion."
Elves and Dwarves were also facing overwhelming forces and barely could defend their own lands!
Many thanks for this, another excellent presented and researched video
Small mistake in the Battle of Dale section; King Bane was dead by the time of the War of the Ring, it was his son (Bard's Grandson) Kind Brand who fell before the gates of Erebor and his son, Bard II, that led the men of Dale after this alongside Dain's son Thorin III, Stonehelm.
Yes, I made a mistake here. Thank you for correcting it. The Legendarium is so big that sometimes it is necessary to check and recheck even what you know.
@@middleearthtales definitely is a mighty beast of content!
He said “I’m Dragon” lmao it reminds of Stepbrothers where dale is like “but you have to call me dragon” 😂
They were fighting own wars in Mirkwood and lonely mountain . Legolas had that quote to Gimli saying that they had their own wars to fight . With Dain thwarting Sauron when he first inquired about the ring it left sore spot for Sauron so he unleashed his own army north .
"Yes, you have it", said Gimli."The Lady of the Wood. She read many hearts and desires. Now why did we not wish for some of our kinsfolk, Legolas?"
..., "I do not think that any would come", he answered. "they have no need to ride to war; war already marches on their own lands."
They were doing an epic team up against saurons northern forces. Legolas actually mentioned it in ROTK extend.
Yep and Gandalfs whole plan with helping Thorin regain Erebor was to stop Sauron having free passage into the north, big brain Gandalf.
I can see a good mini series being done about this. Maybe do a movie about what else was going on with an open ended story to continue with.
Kind of impressive that Hobbits take out a Miar and play a critical part in taking down the witch king
Grima Wormtongue was the one who kills Saruman, not the hobbits.
@@hawktitan7896 the Hobbits defeat him in the battle of Bywater
It's because of this that he's stripped of stature and thus grima is emboldened to attack him.
this isn't even the most impressive during the destruction of the kingdom Arnor, the Hobbits were among those peoples who took up arms against the Witch King and his kingdom of Angmar. That's why the Shire lays in the middle of what was once the kingdom of Arnor.
Well, they obviously played the key part in bringing down Sauron. Anything after that is just padding their stats...
@@davidlewis5312 up until the waning days of the Kingdom of Arnor, when divided into petty kingdoms, the Hobbits still sent archers to help their king. Being stealthy by nature they make excellent scouts and they used guerilla tactics rather than direct confrontation when fighting orcs.

Theoden: Where was Gondor when the West Fold fell?
Me: Where was _Rohan_ when the West Fold fell, you hypocrite!?
Love Rohan? it’d never have existed without Galadriel’s help: saving Gondor & enabled Rohan leading to its FOUNDING. Delivered Gondor from invasion & led to the foundation of Rohan, five centuries before the LotR. This is an account on the event.
* The Rohirrim were in origin the folk named Éothéod, who lived in the North. In 2510 of the Third Age Gondor was invaded by both Easterlings and Orcs at the same time. Borondir, a messenger, delivered a desperate request for aid from the Steward of Gondor to the Éothéod; for their forefathers had often been allies (check art by Julax).
* Eorl the Young, the King of the Éothéod rode out on his steed Felaróf (a forefather of Shadowfax), and his mounted host followed, seven thousand strong (art by Wouter Florusse). They rode along the Mirkwood forest until they came near Dol Guldur, where the Necromancer [Sauron] had his abode; and the attacks on Gondor were according to his will...
* Eorl turned away westward for fear of the dark shadow and cloud that flowed out from Dol Guldur, and then he rode on within sight of the Anduin river. Many riders looked toward the river, half in fear and half in hope to glimpse from afar the Dwimordene, the perilous land that in legends of their people was said to shine like gold in spring: Lórien.
"But now it seemed shrouded in a gleaming mist and to their dismay the mist passed over the river and flowed over the land before them.
Eorl did not halt. `Ride on!' he commanded. `There is no other way to take. After so long a road shall we be held back from battle by a river-mist?'"
~ Unfinished Tales; III; II (check art by Guillaume Tholly)
But they saw that the white mist was driving back the glooms of Dol Guldur, and soon they passed into it, riding slowly at first and warily; but under its canopy all things were lit with a clear and shadowless light, while to left and right they were guarded as it were by white walls of secrecy:
"`The Lady of the Golden Wood is on our side, it seems,' said Borondir."
*
Eorl was not as sure about that as the messenger but trusted in the wisdom of his horse Felaróf:
"`He scents no evil. His heart is high, and his weariness is healed: he strains to be given his head. So be it! For never have I had more need of secrecy and speed.'
Then Felaróf sprang forward, and all the host behind followed like a great wind, but in a strange silence, as if their hooves did not beat upon the ground."
The host rode on, as fresh and eager as on the morning of their setting-out, during that day and the next (obviously thanks to Galadriel). At dawn of the third day they rose from rest and the mist was gone, and they saw that they were far out in the open lands.
A crossing of the river was near and "they had come there at a speed beyond hope". The Éothéod arrived in the nick of time to rescue Gondor's army and defeat their foes (art by JB Casacop).
The intervention by Galadriel both saved Gondor and ensured the foundation of Rohan, for in gratitude (and wisdom) the Steward gave Gondor's northern territory to Eorl. There the Éothéod settled, soon known as the Eorlingas or the Rohirrim, and held it until the LOTR era.

The dourhands and angmar was up to some tomfoolery
Dourhands are just a Lord of the Rings Online invention, not canon. But yes, I'd be surprised if there wouldn't have been some effort by Sauron' or the Witch King to recreate Angmar. Even if Angmar and Rhudaur were largely depopulated, they've had a thousand years to recover. And even an Angmar that was a shadow of it's former self could overrun much of Eriador. Between the Ered Luin and the Misty Mountains there's maybe a few dozen or maybe a hundred Dunedain Rangers, a similar sized force in Rivendell and a small Shire militia to fight them.
Maybe that's why there are so few in the Grey Company that go south - the rest were needed to watch Angmar and the Misty Mountain goblins.
@@robinsteeden7466 the dourhands are probably my favorite faction in Lotro. I wouldn't call them evil but they're just trying to follow their king who is evil
Amazing!!!!!
I don't know why Elvis didn't come to Gondor's aid. Perhaps he already had a booking in Nashville.
Thanks for sharing. I was always curious about the other areas of the War of the Ring. Liked and subscribed. Looking forward to more videos. 🥃
Thank you Javier :)
I don't think Sauron intended to destroy Lothlorian with his force from Dol Guldur. All of those other attacks were meant to prevent a new alliance from forming between the free peoples. He concentrated on Gondor.
Very interesting video
This was the time when the Dominion of Men was beginning. The Elves and Dwarves had suffered steady attrition for millennia. While the Elves could be reincarnated, the Valar who did this kept them in Aman and did not send any save Glorfindel back to Middle-earth. Likewise, the Dwarves had only recently recovered Erebor, and Moria had been lost to them until Galdalf killed Durin's Bane. So neither race had large armies or realms anymore. Both races were reaching the end of their time in Middle-earth. Ironically, the Hobbits and the Shire contributed virtually nothing to the war effort besides Frodo, Sam, Merry and Pippin. Yet they received far more praise than the Elves or Dwarves did.
To be fair, if Bilbo hadn’t found the ring, and if Frodo hadn’t agreed to go destroy it, nothing ANYONE did would have mattered. Like the first age, the valar would have had to intervene
@@kumabear3529 - In fairness, they were being lazy in not doing so. Sauron was *not* Morgoth. He had nowhere near so much power, nor were his armies stacked with dragons and Balrogs. Instead of five iffy "wizards" any *one* Valar could have crushed Sauron like a bug. Heck, even Eonwe, a Maia, could have probably done so. All without sinking Middle-earth.
@@kumabear3529 - Yes, but those were *individual* accomplishments. The Shire folk, who were disdainful of the idea of adventuring and did *nothing* to help with the war, were rewarded with additional lands by Aragorn and a law that forbade Men from entering without permission.
@@daniels7907 they were individual accomplishments, yes, but they were MAJOR accomplishments. For which I believe the land grants and decree against big people being barred from entry was warranted
@@kumabear3529 - So, the Hobbits of the Shire benefit from the bravery of people they had treated with disdain. But the Elves and Dwarves actually worked to help restore Gondor and Minas Tirith for no particular reward.
ty 🙏🙏
It can only be speculation what the two blue wizards had done to prevent the overwhelming forces of Sauron from gaining more followers.
The Dwarves were defending the Lonely Mountain, with the aid of the Eagles and the Elves were defending Mirkwood and Lorien. They were definately not at the battle of Hels Deep.
This is very well explained.
The books tell us that Gondor was not the only point of action, just the focus of the Witch King's attack.
Okay. But you have to call me Nighthawk.
Bard’s son was named Brand, not Bain!
I’ll be honest, if this wasn’t read by AI with very awkward pauses, I would finish the video. Good luck on growing!

I was "like" # 421 while enjoying a 420 moment. 😊
(Adding more detail) - Here is why the elves couldn’t help as much as some may have wished at the final battles of ROTK as well as at Helms Deep from the second movie & other places from other films: By the Third Age of Middle-earth, the population of Elves had significantly decreased from their numbers in the earlier Ages. It is estimated that there were only a few thousand Elves remaining in Middle-earth by this time.
One reason why Elves didn't have much military prowess to help out more in the Third Age is because they had already fought many battles in the previous Ages, & were weary of war ontop of Lothlòrien(where Galadriel is) being constantly attacked throughout this current story during the trilogy story but the movies never show it. Additionally, many of the great Elven kingdoms had already fallen, & the remaining Elves had scattered across Middle-earth, making it difficult to organize a large-scale military force.
Furthermore, Elves had a deep respect for the natural world, and were hesitant to engage in battles that could harm the environment. They preferred to use their skills in magic and healing to assist in battles, rather than fighting directly.
Despite their reduced numbers and military prowess, Elves still played an important role in the events of the Third Age. They were instrumental in the quest to destroy the One Ring, and many fought bravely in battles against Sauron's forces. However, they had to be strategic about their involvement, as they knew that they could not sustain heavy losses without risking the extinction of their entire race.
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
In J.R.R. Tolkien's works, the exact population of Elves in Middle-earth during the Third Age is not explicitly stated. However, it is generally believed that their numbers had greatly diminished by this time, with only a few remaining Elven kingdoms & settlements scattered across Middle-earth.
Some sources estimate that there may have been only a few thousand Elves left in Middle-earth by the Third Age. It is important to note that the exact population of Elves in Middle-earth is not a major focus of Tolkien's works, as he was more concerned with the individual characters & their journeys rather than the demographics of Middle-earth.
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
While there are no exact figures given in Tolkien's works, some fans have attempted to estimate the population of Elves in Middle-earth during the Third Age using various mathematical models comparing to what was known about the past. One such estimate, based on the size of Elven settlements & their likely populations, suggests that there may have been around 100,000 Elves scattered across Middle-earth from different clans as it were with slightly different diverging history at certain points during the Third Age.
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
The population of Elves in Middle-earth changed over time due to a variety of factors, including wars, migrations, & natural disasters.
During the First Age, Elves were relatively numerous and lived in many different kingdoms & settlements across Middle-earth. However, many of these kingdoms were destroyed during the wars against Morgoth, the first Dark Lord.
During the Second Age, the population of Elves began to decline as many Elves left Middle-earth to sail to the Undying Lands, a paradise-like realm across the sea. This was largely due to the influence of the Valar, the angelic beings who created the world, who offered the Elves a chance to escape the sorrows and limitations of mortal life in Middle-earth.
By the time of the Third Age, the population of Elves in Middle-earth had greatly diminished. Many of the great Elven kingdoms had fallen, & the remaining Elves had scattered across Middle-earth in small, isolated settlements. This was partly due to the wars of the First Age and the destruction of many Elven kingdoms, as well as the gradual decline of the Elves' power & influence in Middle-earth.
Overall, the population of Elves in Middle-earth declined over time, with many Elves leaving for the Undying Lands & many others being killed in wars and other conflicts. By the end of the Third Age, the Elves' numbers had greatly diminished, & they were a shadow of their former glory in Middle-earth.
It’s been their fight for ages alone before Men came along and many of them befriended Men from the very beginning. They share the same fights/The same histories etc!
Let’s just say it used to be a few million so imagine what Galadriel & her husband have seen regarding experiencing their entire race that still dwelled upon middle earth nearly being wiped out into extinction…
Amazing. Thanks 🙏
@@middleearthtales Finrod discovered and befriended the 3 most main houses of Men too.
@@middleearthtales any more thoughts and questions?
@@middleearthtales hello?
Why wasn't Saruman brought back to life after he was killed, as was Gandalf when he was killed killing the Balrog? For that matter, why didn't the Balrog come back to life?
Given that they reach sexual maturity at about 100 years old but live for thousands of years without aging why are there not many many more elves in Middle Earth?
Part of your question is the answer, and the other part is Elvish culture itself. An Elf is but a child until 100 so roughly 5x as long as a human to mature, so humans would have many generations of children to 1 elf generation. Even so many elves chose not to reproduce until a much later age Arwen was 3000 years old and still a maiden before she married and reproduced. So, let's assume that is extreme and half that is the normal age, 1500 years for an elf couple to meet, marry, and begin to bear children. In the same 1500 years 1 human couple would have sired 60 generations of descendants. Assuming just 3 children per couple per generation (pretty low for a Middle Ages based society), the math is staggering. Look at the US as a great example there were an estimated 2.5 million people in the US in 1776 when independence was declared, now less than 350 years later there are 333 million people (yes you have to account for immigration, but that is math for a statistician not me lol). Finally, elves generally married for life and did not take another partner even on the death of their spouse (there are limited exceptions), so war would have an even greater impact on the ability to grow their population than it would among humans who often remarry after the loss of a spouse. So, after so many wars over the 1000s of years there would be a considerable number of widowed/widowered elves that were partnerless and not procreating.
Would be awesome if Peter Jackson could make additonal movies to cover these other battles.
He is. Rise Of Angmar etc. And then there is also War Of The Rohirrim
If only instead the Rings of Power, that has just ruined all the beautiful characters and the story itself, Amazon has chosen to cover this part of the Lord of the Rings....It would have been epic battles, would have had plenty of space to introduce new characters with a meaningful personal story and contribution. It wouldn't have been necessary to make Galadriel this insufferable and stupid bimbo in the first place and Elrond a man model without honour and...I couldn't shake the feeling that they only set themselves to ruin LOTR of Peter Jackson ...but instead make us revisit it so many times that I hardly distinguish from it and the book.
Is this a real channel? The narrator sounds like an AI. Anyone else think so?
the lore at least is real, with just 3 minor mistakes or so.
They were protecting their own lands from attack. At least, Galadriel was. Lothlorien was assaulted three times by armies from Dol Guldur during the final Battle before Gondor. And three times she repelled them because, according to Tolkien in his LOTR timeline-appendix, “none could have prevailed against the Power [Galadriel] that dwelled there, unless Sauron had come in person.” So the elves had to battle for their territories, and the War of the ring was a war for men to wage, anyhow. The elves were heading West forever.
This is just my opinion but I don’t feel like you answered your own question. You did not touch on where the elves were at the war but only mentioned the one that occurred in the hobbit
This isn’t accurate lore as cool as the story is the northern and southern fronts were decades apart
I think it's worth mentioning that we can see full-grown Uruk-hai being pulled out of a membrane, but humans need to be born, grow for years, and learn. This puts the humans at a decided reinforcement disadvantage. It would take a human years to match the size and power of the Uruk-hai.
That's only in the movies.
Yeah all Orcs descended from corrupted Elves courtesy of Melkor (Morgoth). Peter Jackson took some serious artistic liberty with the Uruk-hai "birthing". My headcannon for it was that a regular orc was put in the membrane & through metamorphosis became the Uruk-hai.
@@jt5765 Or Saruman using magic to speed up their maturation process.
The reason they had to do that was because of the timeline shift... in the book, there's 17 years between Bilbo's party and Frodo leaving the Shire. Saruman started his conversion of Orthanc (and breeding his army) right around the time of the party, meaning his first generation would be functionally adults.
But, in the movie, Frodo leaves the Shire MAYBE a year (or less) after the party. So there simply wasn't time for Saruman to do it the normal way. Not if they wanted to show Gandalf riding to Isengard BEFORE it's full of war machines, which probably would have made him suspicious.
I read "Elves" as "Elvis." "Why didn't Elvis come to Gondor." Now I'll spend the rest of my life wondering why THE KING did not go to Gondor... The real Return of the King!
I would of love to see the war in North in great detail and well explain and no add on where it won't makes sense come to a movie at least 2 movies. But we'll explain. Where it makes you fall in love with the characters from the north. And using the same cast in lord of the rings and hobbit movies.
PJ and team are doing that as we speak
I wish that the movies referred the battles of the North
They fighting their own wars
They ran out of Lembas Bread.
I was scrolling too fast and quickly read the title as Why Didn't Elvis come to Gondor's Aid?
😅😅😅
There’s thousands of videos on this topic already, especially from the channels I follow. Can yall come up with more topics than the same ones? As a fan I’m being so serious! We all know they were at war as well. WE KNOW!!!!
If Tolkien hadn't died, we could have done what you say, yes. :)
@@middleearthtales it’s more stories to tell. That’s all! 🥰
Elves were being turned into Orcs.
Their only option was to hide or flee.
But when sauroman was on his tower he got stabbed in the back and fell of and got spiked how did bro survive that
The sons of Elrond came to help Gondor.
They were fighting in their own wars, same time when Gondor was fighting
Anyone, who red books know about it
They had their own battles to fight during the war.
They had their own wars going on. Sauron had sent armies against everyone. It's in the books.
Is this all you can conjure saruman?
There must be 1000 hours of video on this topic on RUclips... and to think it would take fewer than 1000 pages to read the 70 year old books.
Hi dragon iam nighthawk
So the elves had to fight in:
The war against morgoth
The battle of the last alliance
The battle of the five armies
AND
The war of the ring
Are you following book chronology or movie? The Army of the Dead never made it to Minas Tirith and Pelennor Fields. They defeated the pirates and then Gondors western forces arrived on the ships and helped win the battle not the AOTD as the film showed.
Yes, you are right. I wanted to say that Aragorn stopped the Umbar pirates with the intervention of the Dead Men, but it sounded like the Dead Men intervened in the battle. I also have a video here about the Dead Men. You can take a look at it if you wish. Thank you for your comment :)

Seems Tolkin wrote these stories similiar to WW2
This would make a great RTS game.
And who killed Smaug, Bard or his son? Something doesn't fit here.. Samug was killed 60 years ago and not when there was a war for the ring??
WHY did jackson leave the ENTLINGS out and ADD Elves on the wall at Helms Deep?
it was just STUPID
The battle of Osgilliath purpose was not to win. it's to whither the enemies troop. The steward was an idiot, but not his son. They might of done better, if it wasn't for the Steward. The ruins are great for Guerilla warfare, but not a place to hold. The river does give some defense, but with their numbers, there was no way to hold the area. Farimir was always a guerilla fighter though.
Denethor wasn't a idiot in my opinion, but since he used the palantir and Sauron just let him see what he wanted to, his decisions where intrigued by Sauron. Faramir indeed is a much stronger character in the books than in the movie, that's correct.
I liked the idea of having Elves come to the aid of the Men the way they did in the movies. That was a cool little touch. However, if I had been Peter Jackson, I would have had them come to Minas Tirith instead of Helm's Deep. Helm's Deep was sort of Rohan's fight, while Minas Tirith was the fight where the whole of Middle Earth was rallying together to stop Mordor. Plus, in all reality if the Elves had been at Helm's Deep, all those Elves would have been of fighting caliber similar to Legolas, which means Isengard would not have stood a chance and the defenders would have completely cleaned house. So if I had been Jackson, I would have sent Haldir and the Lorien Elves to Minas Tirith in Return of the King instead of Helm's deep.
If you like this Topic: Play "The War of the RIng"
sauron was a bad strategist, hit one enemy at a time and fast enough so help wont arrive in time, could aid saruman more he had the troops, gondor wouldnt help, but i guess getting troops from mordor to isengard would mean to go thru gondor anyways
play the game battle for middle earth 2 and you would see why the elves and dwarves didnt went to aid Gondor
Bugger the Elves. Where was Elvis? Why didn't Elvis come to Gondor's aid? Instead of the miserable, low-down death he had, sitting on the thunderbox, he could have died in battle on the Pelinor Fields, where there was a whole lotta shakin' goin' on. Ask the hard questions. The Colonel is onto you, boy!
That is part of the LOTR I do not like,Instead of Army of Dead,Tolkien should put Elvish Army to come and save Gondor.I know this a tale,but everythng is still realistic instead those dead under spell,it seems like Aragorn have some wizards powers
I don’t think Elvis was around then.
Why does he call them humans instead of men, as Tolkien does?
The real question was where was Gondor when the Westfold fell??

Dont even have to watch. They were fighting in Mirkwood alongside the Lakemen and the Dwarves….
gondor's aid
I wish you explain it better. You should of explain what happened in the battle of the gate.
The reason why the sight of the Eagle was important, was that it meant the Elves won the battles to the North. That improved the Morale of the Humans, and demoralized the Orcs. I hated Peter Jackson had elves fight at the Horn. THis change meant Galadriel had spare troops, but the war she fought was brutal. Oh and Elrond sent his son to help in Umbar. I thought Elrond had more military input , but couldn't find it on any Wiki.
hello Dragon
no no no no no
you can't just SKIP OVER the fact that the MOVIE has Rohan winning Helm's Deep and TH E BOOK has an army of ENTLINGS annihilate the uruk hai army

In first age any wizard fighting Morgoth
No wizards fought in the First Age as far as I know
Istari, known as Wizards don't exist in the first age. They come to Middle-earth later.
@@middleearthtales They probably existed as they were maiar but they were just not sent to Middle Earth
@@nigeljames5622 exactly!
@@nigeljames5622 the only one to go early to explore Arda was Olórin.
Gandalf named Olórin created by Eru’s Thought (extensions of Eru Îlluvatar himself whilst they had their own free will & individuality. He essentially got the chance to experience and study other parts of himself through this.) among the other Ainur before the Years of the Lamps roughly 9,000+ years before arriving in Middle-earth; In Valinor he was known as Olórin.(Remember though he formally existed before the world existed and his form becoming Gandalf hadn’t happened yet. He was sent to Middle-earth in human form around the year 1000 of the Third Age. So his many forms had different ages in length of existing. He’s very cool right! Could he get any cooler!? 😎❤️ Another thing is when he arrived in middle earth he was disguised as an elf & lived among them whilst they were unknowing & he became to be known as Mithrandir to the Quendi/Eldar❤️ He could have very well dwelled with the elves far earlier just do to his curiosity & simple desire to explore and be around the firstborn (TheElves)
Gandalf The Grey/White
Estimated at 15,000 years old (following his quote "300 lives of men, I have walked this earth"), It says that Gandalf was the wisest of the Maiar besides Melian herself. There were a lot of Maiar that were considered really great and powerful.
However, there is a much longer answer. Like Sauron(former name is Mairon) & the other Istari (the order sent around the same time & of which he was appointed leader but he being who he is & a student of the Vala by the name Nienna & Lorien(Irmo). Gandalf was a Maiar, an angelic spirit created by Eru at the beginning of time and therefor one of the many Ainur who sang the world into being & Eru just helped their creation take shape and basically stated “behold YOUR creation” & basically what happens in that world goes sort of preordained as by that song eons ago so really only the ages after Dagor Dagorath will truly be an age that isn’t full of strife; sadness; and longing.
Also. These lamps are what were before even the two trees. These were Giant mountains but also like light houses but housing a great power but it may have also been where two special Maia lived that helped in the creation in the sun and moon after Melkor With eldrich terror Ungoliant killed the trees, so yea “Arien” is the Maia who basically exists with the sun and her brother and or lover of sorts is the one who wanders with and guides the moon. Of which that other Maia was “Tillion”
Galadriel herself not only witnessed this but as a student of Aulë and the other Valar she obviously had involvement in helping create the hallowed objects that housed the final flower of the silver tree Telperion that was the father of the moon and the mother of the sun was Laurëlin the golden tree and prior to the sun and moon they too used to wax and wane!
