The Silmarillion: Chapters 3-5
from A Couple of Simarils
In this episode of A Couple of Silmarils, we cover three key chapters of The Silmarillion: Of the Coming of the Elves and the Captivity of Melkor, Of Thingol and Melian, and Of Eldamar and the Princes of the Eldalië. In these chapters we will learn of the awakening of the Elves, their first encounters with the powers of Arda, and the choices that divide them forever. After the Elves awaken beneath the stars, the Valar wage war against Melkor and summon the Elves to Valinor, leading to a long and difficult journey west that splits the Elves into the Vanyar, Noldor, and Teleri, with many lingering or remaining behind in Middle-earth. Along the way we see the love of Thingol and Melian, the founding of Doriath, the crossing of the Sea to Aman, the building of Alqualondë, and the introduction of the princes of the Noldor.
