In this episode, we consider the reign of Tar-Atanamir, the 13th ruler of Númenor.We learn here that Atanamir was given the epithet “The Great”. Yet we also learn that he was given another - “The Unwilling”.I have to admit, it’s not entirely clear to me why Tar-Atanamir deserved to be called “The Great”, though I will explore that issue in this episode.And we will certainly discuss why he was called “The Unwilling.”At the end of the day, one thing is for certain: Atanamir’s reign was of major consequence for the people of Númenor, as his long for immortality began to sow the seeds of discontent, restlessness, and malice toward the Eldar, the Valar, and ultimately Ilúvatar Himself.Join us!WATCH THE VIDEO » https://youtu.be/fXPQG4LYlGYWATCH AD-FREE » https://www.patreon.com/posts/ad-free-video-of-92694652LISTEN AD-FREE » https://www.patreon.com/posts/tar-atanamirs-of-92694956EXECUTIVE PRODUCERS:- Kaitlyn of Tea with Tolkien- John R- SaberSystems- 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- SaberSystems- Melkor27- KG- Emilio P- Jonathan D- Richard K- Robert H- Paul D- Julia- Werty- JoeBagelMan- Matt R- John W- Eugene D- AlaskanMoose31- Chris B- Daniel S- Cory C- Carolyn S- Emiel K- Seb M- 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 NOVEMBER OF 2023- Paige H- Matthew F- Michael L- AlaskanMoose31- Brian H- Chris B- Daniel SThank you so much for sticking with us over the years!!! 🙌Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-tolkien-road--5222755/support.

With this episode, the War of Sauron Upon The Elves (what we might also call the War of the Three Rings) 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.
