    Great video! Love that artwork of Gil-Galad and Elendil fighting Sauron. A couple things though: 1) Treebeard said that the Entwives Gardens were destroyed around the time of the war of Sauron against the Men of the Sea. This implies Sauron laid waste to the Brownlands sometime before the downfall of Numenor. 2) Elrond says that all peoples were divided that day and could be found in either host even unto birds and beasts, this implies that there were evil dwarves fighting for Sauron, and also ents probably took part too 3) the Siege of Barad-due lasted 7 years and Anarion was crushed by a falling stone while trying to take the gates with a mighty battering ram, and the first crown of Gondor was destroyed. The fact that the defenders were throwing stones means they were getting desperate. Probably Sauron decided to sally out of his fortress because the Orcs were starving.

    ENT:
    When Spring unfolds the beechen leaf, and sap is in the bough;
    When light is on the wild-wood stream, and wind is on the brow;
    When stride is long, and breath is deep, and keen the mountain-air,
    Come back to me! Come back to me, and say my land is fair!
    ENTWIFE:
    When Spring is come to garth and field, and corn is in the blade;
    When blossom like a shining snow is on the orchard laid;
    When shower and Sun upon the Earth with fragrance fill the air,
    I'll linger here, and will not come, because my land is fair.
    ENT:
    When Summer lies upon the world, and in a noon of gold
    Beneath the roof of sleeping leaves the dreams of trees unfold;
    When woodland halls are green and cool, and wind is in the West,
    Come back to me! Come back to me, and say my land is best!
    ENTWIFE:
    When Summer warms the hanging fruit and burns the berry brown;
    When straw is gold, and ear is white, and harvest comes to town;
    When honey spills, and apple swells, though wind be in the West,
    I'll linger here beneath the Sun, because my land is best!
    ENT:
    When Winter comes, the winter wild that hill and wood shall slay;
    When trees shall fall and starless night devour the sunless day;
    When wind is in the deadly East, then in the bitter rain
    I'll look for thee, and call to thee; I'll come to thee again!
    ENTWIFE:
    When Winter comes, and singing ends; when darkness falls at last;
    When broken is the barren bough, and light and labour past;
    I'll look for thee, and wait for thee, until we meet again:
    Together we will tkae the road beneath the bitter rain!
    BOTH:
    Together we will take the road that leads into the West,
    And far away will find a land where both our hearts may rest.

    Respect to Anárion and Gondor. They held off the forces of Mordor for several years while the alliance marched South and then re-took Minas Ithil.
    Such a shame that he was killed. Who knows how events might have changed after the war?

    • @LoreOfTheRingsYT
      @LoreOfTheRingsYT  4 года назад +6

      Indeed! Would he have claimed the rule over the two kingdoms after Isildur's death? And, what would his reaction be when Isildur kept the Ring?

    • @NOIDEAIWILLJUSTUSEHAILEYIGUESS
      @NOIDEAIWILLJUSTUSEHAILEYIGUESS 4 года назад +3

      I think Anarion, similar to Faramir, would not blame his brother, but be wary of the ring, taking news of the event to his elven allies. Anarion represents the Sun, so I think he would be a lot more open about the ring to the high ranking lords and the wise than Isildur was. Isildur represents the Moon, and without the Sun, the moon cannot shine. This symbolism is why I think Isildur died, but the sun shines brilliantly on its allies, inspiring them, and this is why I think Anarion would succeed where his brother failed.

    You know what's most tragic in the aftermath of this war. After fighting so hard for 7 years, after all they have sacrificed in order to defeat Sauron for good, it was all in vain. Many Elves, Dwarves and Men lost their lives including their kings and it meant nothing because Isildur couldn't bring himself to destroy the ring, only for him to lose his life later on and Sauron ends up returning in the third age to continue his conquest for middle-earth

    • @LordVader1094

    • @archseraphim3998
      @archseraphim3998 3 года назад

      @@LordVader1094 In the third age Gondor was weak and Arnor was a ruined kingdom, they weren't as powerful as they used to be, the time of elves was coming to an end with many of them sailing to the west and the dwarves only cared about protecting their own riches caring little about what troubles people were dealing with. Meanwhile Sauron had a very large army and was launching an attack at a time when there was weakness everywhere. Which is why I say that all the sacrifices that were made in the war of the last alliance were for nothing, all they gained was a temporary victory but eventually Sauron was going to return because Isildur couldn't bring himself to destroy the ring. Sauron would've won the war if Eru hadn't intervened and caused Gollum to fall into mount doom with the ring, I'd say everyone was lucky that day.

    I love your videos man!!! They are pure gold on youtube.
    Just something that I think could be improved:
    At 6:33 those battle formations are impossible, commander know to keep both flanks balanced so none is too weak and if one flank should be able to give support between its divisions.
    I can understand the alliance having many kings that their formation would be a mess, but sauron's would not be.

    I know Tolkien doesn't go into great detail about the War of the Last Alliance, but I will say that as much as I love C.S. Lewis's writings, Tolkien still writes battles a hell of a lot better than his friend Lewis. Seriously, this is a rare instance where the Narnia movies did a better job in making the battles engaging.

    • @LoreOfTheRingsYT
