No matter how dark times might seem, there is always light after. And he was right! He did not live to see it, but his actions allowed for that light to come forth and be victorious over the evil of Morgoth. There was a time when I was in a rough spot mentally and was severely depressed, and moments like these gave me hope. Now I feel like I'm past that luckily, and I'm so glad I had these moments to cling to. There are many more throughout the legendarium, especially the main LoTR storyline is sprinkled with moments of high hope - Estel - amid overwhelming darkness. First that comes to mind is Sam's steadfastness in Cirith Ungol and later in Mordor: "(...) Though here at journey's end I lie in darkness buried deep, beyond all towers strong and high, beyond all mountains steep, above all shadows rides the Sun and Stars forever dwell: I will not say the Day is done, nor bid the Stars farewell. "

If I recall correctly, in the Silmarillion Huron tells one of the elvish princes that he needed to escape saying something like “and this I say to you with the eyes of death, that from both our houses shall come the one who will deliver the free peoples.” Not exactly what he said, but you get the idea. He knew he was to die so that hope could remain.

The fact that at one moment, the Battle of Unnumbered Tears was literally one mortal man vs. the Hordes of Morgoth is incredible. You have to wonder, what the other Valar thought when that was happening. They're just sitting there, and a simple mortal man is fighting the endless legions of evil alone, screaming that one day this world will know the light again.... couldn't have been a proud moment for them. Hurin then going face to face with the Ultimate Evil and basically telling him to eat a dick is also incredible! No one beats The Steadfast in my books!

@@shogunmadness Yes, and I think that was Tolkien's point. Virtually ALL of the men of the House of Hador were killed in that battle. The House was essentially extinguished because they chose to protect Turgon's retreat. Also, the men of the House of Hador would have been near-mythical in human stature from the perspective of Aragorn or anyone of the Third Age. They were probably greater than the Numenoreans who descended from them. They easily slaughtered thousands of orcs in their last stand.

Eerily similar to the story of Nikola Skobaljic, a famed Serbian Voivode who had defeated the Ottoman Empire at Leskovac and Krusevac in 1454. Skobaljić's continued resistance to the Ottoman invasion lasted for two more months but was ultimately broken when Sultan Mehmed, furious at the failure of his generals against the aforementioned Voivode, personally took command of his armies and finally defeated Skobaljić's army at Trepanja on 16 November 1454. Skobaljić was captured and killed by impalement, along with his uncle. Sultan Mehmed II ordered Nikola and his uncle's heads to be sent to Constantinople as a reminder of the consequences of resistance to the Sultan. It is said that Nikola Skobaljić was the first Serb to be impaled by the Ottomans, a practice that would continue and grow for centuries forward. During this last and final act of Nikola's defiance, he and his men inflicted great, grievous losses to the imperial Ottoman army, but were ultimately too few to prevail, and were cut down to a man, whereas Nikola slew dozens of men before exhaustion withered his strength and made it possible for the Ottomans to take him, prisoner.

I wonder if Saruman and Gandalf fought together in the War of Wrath against Morgoth.

Who made this map of Beleriand? It’s very cool, I’ve never seen this version before

I think this is an excerpt from Mr. Lee reading the entire Narn I hin Hurin. While I've read it countless times, I could only listen to maybe half of the account as read by Christopher Lee. It was just too upsetting to listen to any more of it...

The Departure of Boromir . . . a beautiful and emotive dirge by Howard Shore : )

Departure of Boromir and the breaking of the fellowship are probably two of my most played songs on Spotify

@@bryanmatthews2370 Its easy to take the music in LOTR fils for granted because of how captivating the cinematography is and how well the actors perform their roles, but the score for LOTR is amazing.

Not sure. I know he read The Silmarillion for Audible and it was posted here on YT a long time ago, before YT started taking down all the Audible readings.
