In this episode, we’re continuing our journey through the Fall of Númenor by exploring Sauron’s full scale invasion of Eriador and the subsequent counterattack of the Númenoreans.When we left off, things were looking pretty dire for the Elves of Eriador against the army of Sauron. In this chapter, we’ll continue our exploration of Sauron’s War Against The Elves, or The War of the Three Rings, as I also refer to it.The chapters we’ll be looking at are:- 1699 Sauron overruns Eriador - 1700 Tar-Minastir sends a great navy from Númenor to Lindon. Sauron Is Defeated.

With this episode, the War of Sauron Upon The Elves (what we might also call the War of the Three Rings) begins. And given the relative length of the next 3 chapters, as well as their unified theme, I decided to combine them into this one episode.The chapters we’ll be looking at are:- 1693 - War of the Elves and Sauron Begins. The Three Rings Are Hidden. - 1695 - Sauron’s forces invade Eriador. Gil-galad sends Elrond to Eregion.- 1697 - Eregion Laid Waste. Death of Celebrimbor. The Gates Of Moria Are Shut. Elrond Retreats with Remnant of the Noldor and Founds the Refuge of Imladris.

In this chapter, we find rumors of Sauron beginning to unveil his plot. In fact, it’s even debatable what Sauron’s “plot” was from the beginning!Even so, Gil-galad and Elrond refuse to treat with him, though the Elven-smiths of Eregion are won over. All the while, the Númenoreans begin to make permanent havens in Middle-earth (and that's a bad thing).Join us as we discuss!WATCH THE VIDEO » https://youtu.be/cY5EmQrBD2kWATCH AD-FREE » https://www.patreon.com/posts/ad-free-video-of-87936457EXECUTIVE PRODUCERS:- Kaitlyn of Tea with Tolkien- John R- Jacob Lockham- John H- Melkor27- KGFOLLOW & SUPPORT THE TOLKIEN ROAD:PATREON » SUPERFANS!TWITTERFACEBOOKINSTAGRAMLINKS & MATHOMS:- take 10% OFF Tolkien Road merch at True Myths Press » https://truemythspress.com/discount/TENOFF (enter code TENOFF at checkout)- listen to TOLKIEN'S WORKS for FREE » https://www.audibletrial.com/everon- buy Tolkien's Requiem » https://tolkiensrequiem.com/ - buy Tolkien's Overture » https://tolkiensoverture.com/SPECIAL THANKS TO THE FOLLOWING PATRONS:- John R- Kaitlyn of Tea with Tolkien- Jacob Lockham- John H- Melkor27- KG- Emilio P- Jonathan D- Robert H- Paul D- Julia- Werty- JoeBagelMan- Richard K- Matt R- Matthew W- John W- Eugene D- Chris B- Daniel S- Seb M- Cory C- Carolyn S- Emiel K- Ms. Anonymous- Andrew T- Redhawk- Shannon S- Brian O- Zeke F- James L- Chris L- Asya V- Ish of the Hammer- Teresa C- David of Pints with Jack- Eric BAS WELL AS THOSE CELEBRATING THEIR PATRON ANNIVERSARY IN AUGUST OF 2023- Anne E- Garrett P- Mario G- Matt R- Ben D- Lauren H- William H- Henry B- Jonathan L- Austin B- Carroll WBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-tolkien-road--5222755/support.
