second age

Hello fellow Tolkien enthusiast. I made my way through The Silmarillion somewhat recently, and was able to find guidance on how to incorporate material from THoMe, The Unfinished Tales, and the Children of Hurin to make an expanded experience. It probably sounds like madness, but it worked for...

Sauron, who once pretended to be a friend, and taught them Ring lore, had long since revealed himself to be an enemy. On the other hand, Numenor, once great Elf friends, had long been becoming increasingly anti-Elf and anti-Illuvatar, not to mention increasingly oppressive in their colonies and...

There is very little information about the elf named Falathar. We only know that he was a follower of Finrod and was later moved to Falas. So, after fighting in the War of Wrath, did Falathar remain in Middle Earth? Or did he return to Valinor? Was Falathar in Middle Earth in the Second Age and...

As we all already knew that Nazgul were almost the OP super weapons during the backround of LOTR in the 3rd Age at least, yet just in comparison with those Free People military standard from 3rd Age, possibly the weakest Free People of all time. Then how did these Nazgul perform in military...

Probably the best way to hate the Amazon show is to revisit Tolkien's Second Age texts intensively just before the series starts (which I have already done within the last year). I'd therefore recommend the following reading: 0. Optional: General, helpful and overarching reading Lord of...

Why did The Valar Appear to The Free People Of Middle Earth Only in The First Age And Not in The Second Or Third Ages? And Why did Eru Never Appear to The Free People?

How exactly did the forces of weather, rain and other aspects of topography work in the ages before the rising of the sun?

this time I am making a different discussion. As you all know, Tolkien never gave the number of armies in the wars in these two eras. So we do not have clear data about the army population in the wars in these two eras. We can only guess. Do you think the army population in the first era was...

This does not involve any trap of thucydides at all I swear, I just wonder if Mithtil was really such important military industrial resources, then would the Noldor powers and Numenorain(After Tar-Ciryatur's reign) get into any unfriendly and hateful mood for the authority to claim those Mithril...

We all know that Numenor became the only superpower and owned the whole ocean of ME, then it comes to a big problem- Thucydides's Trap. Why no economic conflicts between those already existing powers-Noldor states. The Elvish states were a always a symbol of advanced civilization and great...

This video was an interesting watch, and it pretty much leads off from the PJ Fanfic... I worry, yet at the same time, wonder, what they will come up with in this series...

The 2nd age is the age of Numenorain. As an result, political and military changes must be led by this empire, so I wonder if the Numenorian empire religious covert to Morgoth did lead to civil wars that let the almost the whole ME to take part or not. For instance, Toikein had mentioned that...

I had been wondering to myself if it was possible someone could have gotten hold of the Nine Rings and thrown them into Mount Doom without falling to their lure. However, I'm wondering, what became of the Nazgul and the Nine Rings when Sauron fell (the first time, not the final time)? If...

So I have been thinking and wondering. How many Maiar lived in middle- earth for each age. The third age at the time of the WOTR appears to have the five Istari, the balrog, and Sauron for a total of 7. Am I missing any? So how does that compare to the earlier ages. I am not looking for valar...

The Silmarillion covers three ages. Of these, where would you dwell if you had your choice? Myself, I think Cirdan's realm was the least bothered by Melkor/Sauron save for just a few times. It would seem to be a peaceful place. But for some reason, Khazad-dum really catches my interest and...

Clearly there was tumult and war in Fangorn in the Second Age. But who caused it? I know everyone would of course say Sauron, because that is the most logical solution. But why would Sauron attack Fangorn when he had much more imminent threats to deal with, like Lindon, Gondor, Arnor, Rivendell...

Sauron Which sauron did you think was more powerful? I think the 3rd age sauron because even without the ring he almost conquered the world.

I think this list is some where near right but I'm not quite sure. It goes oldest to youngest: -The Maiar (Sauron, Gandalf, and Saruman) -Galadriel -Elrond -The Nazgul -Arwen -Legolas -Gimli -Bilbo -Aragorn -Boromir -Frodo -Sam -Merry and Pippin I'm not quite sure about where...
