Tevildo: The Evil Cat Who Became SAURON | Tolkien Lore EXPLAINED

from AJM Nerdcore Hosted by AJM Nerdcore

This video is doing two things at once, because focusing on a single quest objective has never been my strength. First, we explore a strange corner of Tolkien lore, looking at Tevildo, Prince of Cats - an early villain who eventually evolved into Sauron. If you like Lord of the Rings, Middle-earth history, Warhammer vibes, D&D side quests, or obscure fantasy lore, you’re in the right place. Second, I take you along on my visit to Cats Protection to learn about their Lifeline service, which helps cats and their families escape domestic abuse by providing safe, temporary foster care. Trigger warning: Part 1 briefly discusses domestic abuse. No further difficult topics are mentioned after that. @catsprotection Lifeline:https://www.cats.org.uk/what-we-do/cp-lifeline After the serious bit, it’s cats, Tolkien, and side-quest energy.
