0146 - The Hobbit - Ch03 - A Short Rest

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.

As we learned in the last episode, his father, Tar-Meneldur, chose to turn the rule of Númenor over to Aldarion earlier than was normal, due to a letter from the Elven High-King Gil-galad. asking for Númenor’s aid amidst the increasingly dire situation in Middle-earth. In this chapter, we’ll explore Aldarion’s reign, as well as what becomes of his wife Erendis and daughter Ancalimë.WATCH THE VIDEO » https://youtu.be/wOznMB_I9fQEXECUTIVE PRODUCERS:- Kaitlyn of Tea with Tolkien- John R- Jacob Lockham- John H- Melkor27- KGDISCUSSION EPISODES ON THE MARINER'S WIFE / ALDARION & ERENDIS: - EP183: https://youtu.be/Ey76ckHwROE - EP185: https://youtu.be/l83a6Idacg4 - EP186: https://youtu.be/NgcX2-QOmSI - EP187: https://youtu.be/8HzR-raLIjcFOLLOW & 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- 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 JULY OF 2023- Seb M- Matthew W- Werty- David of Pints With Jack- Chris LBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-tolkien-road--5222755/support.
