Matthias AustinHOST
And Telperion was the silver tree whose last flower was turned into the moon, Isil.
Matthias AustinHOST
following the destruction of the trees by Ungoliant and Melkor.
Matthias AustinHOST
But prior to its destruction, we read this in the Silmarillion.
Matthias AustinHOST
In Tirion upon Tunar, the Vanyar and the Noldor dwelt long in fellowship.
14 MINS LATER
Matthias AustinHOST
this is when the valar decide that they need to start preparing for the coming of the elves and this is what it says then varda went forth from the council and she looked out from the height of taniquetl and beheld the darkness of middle earth beneath the innumerable stars faint and far Then she began a great labor, greatest of all the works of the Valar since their coming into Arda.
Matthias AustinHOST
She took the silver dews from the vats of Telperion, and therewith she made new stars and brighter against the coming of the Firstborn.
Matthias AustinHOST
And high in the north, as a challenge to Melkor, she set the crown of seven mighty stars to swing, Valakirka, the sickle of the Valar, and sign of doom.
Matthias AustinHOST
Now, in our world, since, remember, the initial idea was that this was an alternate history of our world, the Valakirka would be the Ursa Major, or the Big Dipper.
JohnHOST
A new shadow arises in the East.
JohnHOST
It is no tyranny of evil men, as your son believes, but a servant of Morgoth is stirring, and evil things awake again.
JohnHOST
Each year it gains in strength, for most men are ripe to its purpose.
JohnHOST
Not far off is the day, I judge, when it will become too great for the Eldar unaided to withstand.
JohnHOST
I mean, he was-
GretaHOST
Well, true
JohnHOST
... uh, and, and the reason I say that is because before he was just a servant of Morgoth, right?
GretaHOST
Right.
Austin OzgarnerVOICE_ACTOR
And by the way, Sauron was a Tolkien's ultimate power.
Austin OzgarnerVOICE_ACTOR
Ilúvatar and Morgoth could kick his ass without breaking a sweat.
Thomas Dak LeeVOICE_ACTOR
I hated the Silmarillion!
Austin OzgarnerVOICE_ACTOR
Too bad.
DoolinHOST
It was a deer! And then episode 17 was live combat.
DoolinHOST
We're fighting Morgoth! For Captain Quinn.
DoolinHOST
That's your shout-out there, Mike.
DoolinHOST
We talked about you.
Alan SistoHOST
Then we read that the dispossessed shall they be forever.
Alan SistoHOST
Feanor's grievance, ever since Morgoth came over the wall at Forminas, is that he was dispossessed.
Alan SistoHOST
His answer to it was the oath.
Alan SistoHOST
But the doom, that is to say the judgment, is that that grievance is now permanent, and its permanence comes as a result of the oath that he swore to fix that grievance.
RobertHOST
They went somewhere.
RobertHOST
Spirits that linger in some way after the bodies have died are known as unbodied, and this is one of the things that Tolkien had to say about them in Morgoth's Ring.
RobertHOST
It is therefore a foolish and perilous thing, besides being a wrong deed forbidden justly by the appointed rulers of Arda, if the living seek to commune with the unbodied, though the houseless may desire it, especially the most unworthy among them.
RobertHOST
For the unbodied wandering in the world are those who at the least have refused the door of life and remain in regret and self-pity.
RobertHOST
To call on them is folly.
RobertHOST
To attempt to master them and to make them servants of one's own will is wickedness.
RobertHOST
Such practices are of Morgoth, and the necromancers are the host of Sauron, his servant.
RobertHOST
And then, to make it even clearer, it is said that Sauron did these things and taught his followers how to achieve them.
Corey OlsenHOST
Or I could just talk about something else for four minutes and five seconds.
DruidsFireHOST
How tall is Morgoth? Like that.
DruidsFireHOST
That's me being slightly evil.
DruidsFireHOST
I'm sorry.
DruidsFireHOST
I'm not sorry.
DruidsFireHOST
All right, let me get you some.
Corey OlsenHOST
I will try to remember on Friday afternoon during my Griffith stream to talk in detail about the height of Morgoth.
Corey OlsenHOST
I promise.
Corey OlsenHOST
Okay, so let's think then, let's look at some of the ideas here, some of the specific storylines and things.
Corey OlsenHOST
So we have Morgoth and Hurin is the first one that we're talking about here.
Corey OlsenHOST
Now, Phil, you're connecting this with, we've got a couple things already, right? We've got the House of Hadar theme.
Corey OlsenHOST
We've got the Morgoth theme, which is very old.
Corey OlsenHOST
That is an OG soap film theme, the Morgoth theme, the Dark Enemy theme, and the Doom concept.
Corey OlsenHOST
By the way, can I just say I love seeing the thematic themes you know uh coming back again like not just the character themes but the theme themes um like doom um is it's it's really fun to see these things kind of paying off right
Philip MenziesGUEST
yeah
Corey OlsenHOST
Yeah.
RosieHOST
And I really love this monologue from Adar.
RosieHOST
about his corruption at the hands of Sauron and Morgoth.
RosieHOST
So he gives a little history lesson on the Moriandor, who Wylen Adar was one of those in series one.
RosieHOST
They are the elves that were corrupted by Morgoth originally.
RosieHOST
So we hear about how in the Eldest of the Elder Days, 13 were chosen.
RosieHOST
be blessed at Morgoth's hand and we're led to a dark and nameless peak and then he speaks of Sauron's beautiful face and how he offered him wine red as a blood moon and it zooms in on Sauron's face and he's shedding a tear which is something he does quite a lot in this season like he's he's going through some stuff And I just think this scene creates that history between them so effectively.
RosieHOST
You can really feel that they are two ancient beings who have known each other for centuries.
RosieHOST
So my theory is that Adar does suspect who he is at that point, but he's not sure of it.
Phillip MenziesHOST
After you finish this video and you have Galadriel's theme under your belt, go and watch this scene again and follow it past this point through Galadriel's voiceover of the horrors that are dealt upon the Blessed Realm, and notice that her theme plays throughout all of that exposition, as this is Galadriel's version of the story.
Phillip MenziesHOST
There's no need to create a Morgoth theme or a Noldor or an Oath theme for such a short recap.
Phillip MenziesHOST
It is musically simpler to relate this recap to things that are relevant to the person who is telling us this story in the Rings of Power.
Phillip MenziesHOST
In this instance, Galadriel is our storyteller.
Phillip MenziesHOST
All of Galadriel's choices in Seasons 1 and 2 have led her to this point, her death.
Phillip MenziesHOST
This is the lowest point in Galadriel's story arc in the show so far.
Phillip MenziesHOST
She's made a series of poor choices through Seasons 1 and goes lower up to this point in Season 2, entering into a deal with Adar that involves using the power of Morgoth's crown.
Phillip MenziesHOST
With Adar's declaration, her death is a certainty.
