Chapter 11 gives us a moment to catch our breaths after the intense action of the last several chapters. It introduces a new epoch into the history of Middle-earth: the Years of the Sun and the Moon, and the barring of Valinor from the rest of the world.

In Chapter 11, we’ll:
- Catch up with the Valar
- Learn of the creation of the Sun and the Moon
- Consider Morgoth’s reaction to these new lights
- Learn how and why Valinor was hidden
And much more!

QUOTE OF THE WEEK: "Thus it was that as Mandos foretold to them in Araman the Blessed Realm was shut against the Noldor; and of the many messengers that in after days sailed into the West none came ever to Valinor — save one only: the mightiest mariner of song."

Silmarillion 2025 » Ch 22 » Of the Ruin of Doriath

Our 2025 Silmarillion journey continues with Chapter 22 of Quenta Silmarillion - Of the Ruin of Doriath!“Of the Ruin of Doriath” is not one of the longer chapters in The Silmarillion, but it is packed with hugely significant events as we rapidly approach the climactic catastrophes of the First Age! It all picks up after the death of Túrin and Nienor, Húrin’s children.Silm Guide Link: https://www.tolkienroad.com/silmguide/sg25/To support our work here, please visit Patreon.com/TolkienRoad.Also, I've just launched a new Substack here: https://tolkienroad.substack.com/Enjoy!OTHER LINKS:Video of this episode: https://youtu.be/a3kHJfQ1ucMWatch AD-FREE: https://www.patreon.com/posts/afv-0302-2025-ch-134495956Listen AD-FREE: https://www.patreon.com/posts/70894522Buy Tolkien Road merch @ True Myths PressBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-tolkien-road--5222755/support.

Silmarillion 2025 » Ch 21 » Of Túrin Turambar

Our 2025 Silmarillion journey continues with Chapter 21 of Quenta Silmarillion - Of Túrin Turambar.The tale of Túrin Turambar is a long one, rivaling “Of Beren and Lúthien” and “Akallabêth” as the longest chapter in The Silmarillion. It is also quite tragic, as we shall see. After giving a bit of background on Túrin’s ancestry, it picks up where the last chapter left off, with Túrin’s father Húrin imprisoned in Angband. The chapter then focuses in on Túrin’s life.Silm Guide Link: https://www.tolkienroad.com/silmguide/sg24/To support our work here, please visit Patreon.com/TolkienRoad.Enjoy!OTHER LINKS:Video of this episode: https://youtu.be/ekQQ69g6J8EWatch AD-FREE: https://www.patreon.com/posts/133983955Listen AD-FREE: https://www.patreon.com/posts/70440300Buy Tolkien Road merch @ True Myths PressBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-tolkien-road--5222755/support.

Silmarillion 2025 » Ch 20 » Of the Fifth Battle: Nirnaeth Arnoediad

Our 2025 Silmarillion journey continues with Chapter 20 of Quenta Silmarillion - Of the Fifth Battle: Nirnaeth Arnoediad!After Beren and Lúthien’s excellent adventure, what could possibly come next? Only a great battle brimming with bloodshed and “Unnumbered Tears” of course! First though, Tolkien provides a brief epilogue for Beren and Lúthien, giving them a happy ending, though, in true Tolkienian fashion, leaving Melian with a “grief of loss” heavier than anyone has ever known.Silm Guide Link: https://www.tolkienroad.com/silmguide/sg23/To support our work here, please visit Patreon.com/TolkienRoad.Enjoy!OTHER LINKS:Video of this episode: https://youtu.be/0QaFHbuVxdQWatch AD-FREE: https://www.patreon.com/posts/133452739Listen AD-FREE: https://www.patreon.com/posts/68867515Buy Tolkien Road merch @ True Myths PressBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-tolkien-road--5222755/support.

Silmarillion 2025 » Ch 19 » Of Beren and Lúthien

Our 2025 Silmarillion journey continues with Chapter 19 of Quenta Silmarillion - Of Beren and Lúthien.In my view, “Of Beren and Lúthien” is the crown jewel of The Silmarillion. I love it so much I wrote a book about it. It was one of Tolkien’s favorites too, and it’s one of the longest chapters in The Silmarillion. It picks up where the last chapter left off, in the aftermath of the Battle of Sudden Flame.Silm Guide Link: https://www.tolkienroad.com/silmguide/sg22/To support our work here, please visit Patreon.com/TolkienRoad.Enjoy!OTHER LINKS:Video of this episode: https://youtu.be/qFiDAJQws-IWatch AD-FREE: https://www.patreon.com/posts/132620727Listen AD-FREE: https://www.patreon.com/posts/68577959Buy Tolkien Road merch @ True Myths PressBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-tolkien-road--5222755/support.

Our 2025 Silmarillion journey continues with Chapter 17 of Quenta Silmarillion - Of the Coming of Men Into the West.In Chapter 17, we learn of the first Men to enter into Beleriand. Furthermore, we learn about the beginnings of their relationship with the Elves, and what the term Edain means. By the way, this is the last relatively calm chapter in The Silmarillion. The stage has been set, and a lot of adventure, war, and destruction is about to be unleashed.Silm Guide Link: https://www.tolkienroad.com/silmguide/sg20/To support our work here, please visit Patreon.com/TolkienRoad.Enjoy!OTHER LINKS:Video of this episode: https://youtu.be/QUufRHW0T0oWatch AD-FREE: https://www.patreon.com/posts/131624287Listen AD-FREE: https://www.patreon.com/posts/67913214Buy Tolkien Road merch @ True Myths PressBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-tolkien-road--5222755/support.
