Hoy tenemos el privilegio de homenajear de nuevo la obra del maestro J. R. R. Tolkien, rescatando uno de los más célebres momentos de su Legendarium, con la introducción y el relato del gran Javier Gil y ilustración de portada del maestro Fran Fernández. "Derramaréis Lágrimas innumerables; y los Valar cercarán Valinor contra vosotros, y os dejarán fuera, de modo que ni siquiera el eco de vuestro lamento pasará sobre las montañas. Sobre la Casa de Fëanor la cólera de los Valar caerá desde el Occidente hasta el extremo Oriente, y sobre todos los que los sigan caerá del mismo modo. El juramento los impulsará, pero también los traicionará, e incluso llegará a arrebatarles los mismos tesoros que han jurado perseguir". Profecía de Mandos Desde que en el Silmarillion se arrojara luz sobre las historias que sustentaban la narrativa del Señor de los Anillos, se nos contó cómo los Valar y los Pueblos Libres gozaron de pocos periodos de equilibrio y paz. Desde los albores del mundo, desde la primera nota de la canción que diera origen a Arda, la música y el propósito de los Ainur parecía verse frustrado por los ardides de Melkor. Son bien conocidas las trágicas consecuencias que tuvieron para los primeros nacidos las semillas de la desconfianza y la discordia. La Maldición de Mandos selló el destino de los noldor, y al mismo tiempo, de aquellos que estaban llamados a ser sus aliados, y de tal modo las inevitables cadenas del destino forjado por Fëanor arrastraron consigo a elfos, hombres y enanos.

We explore how this underground digital art movement went from C64 crack intros to global recognition through the ‘Art of Coding' UNESCO initiative. From the days of 2,000 sweaty kids attending events like The Gathering to international cultural bids, Tobias shares some amazing stories, including running demos on ATMs and sending them into space!  Contents: 00:00 - The Week's Retro News Stories  39:49 - Tobias Kopka Interview Please visit our amazing sponsors and help to support the show: Bitmap Books - https://www.bitmapbooks.com Take your business to the next level today and enjoy 3 months of Shopify for £1/month: https://shopify.co.uk/retrohour The Retro Hour Book: https://retrohour.myshopify.com/ We need your help to ensure the future of the podcast, if you'd like to help us with running costs, equipment and hosting, please consider supporting us on Patreon: https://theretrohour.com/support/ https://www.patreon.com/retrohour Get your Retro Hour merchandise: https://bit.ly/33OWBKd Join our Discord channel: https://discord.gg/GQw8qp8 Website: http://theretrohour.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/theretrohour/ X: https://twitter.com/retrohouruk Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/retrohouruk/ Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/theretrohour.com Twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/theretrohour Show notes Wii Homebrew Channel closes: https://tinyurl.com/yy32spc4 Frontier Force: https://tinyurl.com/53uy5u54 Breakspace Spectrum magazine – Issue 1 released: https://breakspace.itch.io/issue-1 Toys R Us – the movie: https://tinyurl.com/48trvmhm Linecraft for Pico-8: https://tinyurl.com/5cbyrynu

Äntligen dyker vi ner i Quenta Silmarillion igen! Två stycken kapitel börjar avhandlas: Of Aulë and Yavanna och Of the coming of the elves and the captivity of Melkor. STORT för oss att få läsa om alvernas födelse. Frågor ställs, svar finns inte alltid. Vem har STÖRST? Melkor eller Sauron? Fästning alltså. Del två kommer nästa gång det är dags för Silmarillion och vi inser mer och mer att detta projekt kommer ta låååång tid. As it should. All makt åt Tolkien, vår gubbe.

El Akallabêth, que significa "La Caída" en adûnaico (la lengua de Númenor), es la cuarta parte de El Silmarillion de J.R.R. Tolkien y narra la historia del auge y la destrucción del reino de Númenor, un evento crucial en la mitología de la Tierra Media que tiene profundas repercusiones en los eventos de El Señor de los Anillos. Tras la derrota de Morgoth, los Valar, las potestades angelicales que custodian el mundo, recompensaron a los Edain, los hombres que lucharon a su lado, con una isla en el Gran Mar Occidental, entre la Tierra Media y las Tierras Imperecederas de Valinor. Esta isla fue llamada Númenor, y a sus habitantes se les concedió una vida mucho más larga que la de los demás hombres, aunque no la inmortalidad de los Elfos. Bajo el liderazgo de Elros, el primer rey (que tomó el nombre de Tar-Minyatur), Númenor prosperó. Los númenóreanos se convirtieron en grandes navegantes, artesanos y guerreros, expandiendo su influencia por la Tierra Media. Durante muchos siglos, mantuvieron una alianza con los Elfos y vivieron en paz y prosperidad. Con el tiempo, la larga vida de los númenóreanos, aunque extendida, comenzó a parecerles una maldición en comparación con la inmortalidad de los Elfos. Empezaron a envidiar a los Elfos y a resentir la prohibición de navegar hacia el oeste, a las Tierras Imperecederas, donde residían los Valar. Esta prohibición, conocida como la Prohibición de los Valar, se les impuso para protegerlos de la tentación de buscar la inmortalidad por la fuerza, algo que solo Ilúvatar, el Creador, podía conceder. En la Segunda Edad, Sauron, el principal sirviente de Morgoth, resurgió en la Tierra Media. Tras ser derrotado por la Última Alianza de Elfos y Hombres, fue llevado prisionero a Númenor. Sin embargo, en lugar de ser un prisionero sumiso, Sauron, mediante halagos y engaños, se ganó la confianza del rey Ar-Pharazôn y de muchos númenóreanos influyentes. Sauron sembró la duda sobre la bondad de los Valar y la veracidad de la Prohibición, argumentando que los Valar los mantenían alejados de la verdadera inmortalidad por egoísmo. Prometió a los númenóreanos que si adoraban a Melkor, el antiguo Señor Oscuro, obtendrían la vida eterna y el dominio sobre toda la Tierra Media. Bajo la influencia de Sauron, los númenóreanos abandonaron la adoración a Ilúvatar y se dedicaron al culto de Melkor. Construyeron un gran templo en Armenelos, la capital, donde realizaban sacrificios humanos. Ar-Pharazôn, convencido por Sauron de que podía arrebatar la inmortalidad a los Valar, reunió una gran flota y zarpó hacia el oeste, con la intención de invadir las Tierras Imperecederas. Cuando Ar-Pharazôn desembarcó en las costas de Valinor, los Valar invocaron a Ilúvatar. Éste intervino directamente, cambiando la forma del mundo. Las Tierras Imperecederas fueron separadas del resto del mundo, dejando de ser accesibles por mar. Al mismo tiempo, un inmenso cataclismo azotó Númenor: la isla se hundió bajo las olas, arrastrando consigo al rey, su ejército y a la mayor parte de su pueblo. Sauron, aunque su cuerpo físico fue destruido, sobrevivió como espíritu y regresó a la Tierra Media. Solo unos pocos númenóreanos, liderados por Elendil y sus hijos Isildur y Anárion, que se habían mantenido fieles a los Valar, escaparon a la destrucción. Navegaron hacia el este y fundaron los reinos de Gondor y Arnor en la Tierra Media, llevando consigo la herencia de Númenor y la esperanza de un futuro mejor, pero también la sombra de la Caída.

Second volet du Quenta Silmarillion, nous en traversons dans cet épisode les chapitres suivants :- Thingol et Melian,- Eldamar et les princes de l'Eldalië,- Fëanor et la délivrance de Melkor,- Les Silmarils et l'agitation des Noldor ✨Bien que les titres soient assez évocateurs, sachez qu'il y sera question d'exode elfique, d'affrontements avec Melkor, de la venue de Fëanor ainsi que la création de prodigieux bijoux, qui donnent d'ailleurs leur nom au livre que nous parcourons

Sauron becomes an esteemed counselor to the kings of Númenor. He stirs their greed and bids them seek untold riches in the far reaches of the world, including the Ancient Darkness beyond the Edge of the World where dwells Melkor. Ar-Pharazón and the Númenoreans begin worshiping the darkness. Amandil and his son Elendil are part of the Faithful and close to Ar-Pharazón. Amandil is hated by Sauron and is dismissed from the council. Sauron urges Ar-Pharazón to cut down the White Tree, but he will not for fear of the prophecy of Tar-Palantir. Suspecting that this will happen in due time, Isildur, son of Elendil, sneaks to the tree and removes a fruit before being assailed by guards. He escapes and a shoot grows from the fruit. Sauron cuts Nimloth the White Tree and orders the building of a great temple in Armenelos in which the tree is burned and sacrifices are made to Melkor that he would release them from death. 01:50 Dan reads pages 271-274 from the Silmarillion, 2nd Edition 13:46 Summary 15:35 Discussion "Beyond all lay the Ancient Darkness. And out of it the world was made. For Darkness alone is worshipful, and the Lord thereof may yet make other worlds to be gifts to those that serve him, so that the increase of their power shall find no end." ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Watch this Episode on ⁠⁠YouTube⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Send feedback to beforethefellowship@gmail.com Follow us as we follow Tolkien: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TWITTER⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠DISCORD⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ The Rings of Power comes to Amazon, but nothing compares to the real story JRR Tolkien wrote.

Night School #617: "Melkor Revisited" by Every Night's A School Night

Continuing their dive into the Quenta Silmarillion, Thomas Salerno, Jeff Haecker, and Patrick Mason discuss Melkor's corrupting influence, Fëanor's tragic complexity, and the symbolism of Ungoliant's darkness and hunger as they set the stage for the entire First Age. The post Quenta Silmarillion, Ch. 6, 7, & 8 appeared first on StarQuest Media.

In the first chapter of the Silmarillion, Eru Iluvatar makes it clear that while Melkor may try to disrupt the music with themes of his own, all will ultimately redound to the glory of Iluvatar. Boromir's death turns out to be a great example of that.

Melkor hides, fakes friendship, almost persuades Fëanor, goes too far, but manages to understand thralldom better than Fëanor.

Jared, Oriana and Ned discuss Oriana's choice of topic: the Noldor. Also termed the Deep-elves and, in early versions of the legendarium, the Gnomes – thankfully changed given unavoidable associations – they were one of the three ethnicities of the Eldar in general, the first Children of Iluvatar. As compared to the serene Vanyar and the many generally lower-key societies of the Teleri, the Noldor were the ones most driven by the desire to create and to learn about the world in general, though these tendencies, exacerbated by Melkor in his Valinorean captivity and the internal family strife of their royal house, resulted in all the many deeds of fame in Middle-earth on the one hand but also their near total destruction and eventual fading away on the other. By the time of The Lord of the Rings, only small societies and remnants were left, casting an influence on the course of events but not directing them. What can we learn from the stories of the women of the Noldor in particular, not just Galadriel but other figures such as Fëanor's mother Míriel and his wife Nerdanel or the Nargothrond princess Finduilas? What throughlines did Tolkien suggest in terms of how the Noldor both seemed the most human of the Elves as well as being driven by the same ambiguous creative impulses that haunted any number of beings in the legendarium? How does the decision to keep them from the center of the many arcs of The Lord of the Rings help shape the book into being the story that it is? And just how much of an obsessive creative type do you have to be to not only devise the writing system for your culture but to insist on sticking to a particular pronunciation because you're still mad about how things ended up with your family?Show Notes.Jared's doodle.

For a special Halloween episode, we invited our favorite Sauron experts Cameron and Mercury to talk to us about some of Arda's biggest villains. Specifically, the ship pairing known as 'Angbang', which pairs the Dark Lord Sauron against the fallen Valar Morgoth, also known as Melkor. From the history of this ship and how its depictions changed over time, to the best-known Angbang fan fic and fan artists, to all the problematic, messy power dynamics involved... we dive deep into some dark, kinky transformative works to explore why 'Angbangers' are so enthralled with this pairing.Content warning: This episode includes discussion of sex, sexual relationships, kink, BDSM, intimate partner violence at various levels of consent, rape, sexual assault/abuse, abusive relationships, and abusive power dynamics.

Our adventures in “Fëanor, No!” continue as Melkor continues to sow Discord in Valinor.

Maria Marggraf joins us to talk about shadow work, death and the process of grief. This is the episode you didn't know how much you needed. Maria Marggraf is a pagan. In the ensouled world she communicates with goddesses and gods, ancestors, and spiritual companions. The confrontation with her shadows, darkness, and death have shaped her spiritual path. She is firmly convinced that darkness and death should be integrated more into everyday life again, so that we can learn to deal with them in a healing way. Maria Marggraf was ordained as a Death Priestess in the Glastonbury Goddess Temple. As a Death Priestess, she focuses on grief work. She is part of the online sister's circle by Nora Amala Budgoll, where she holds the dark moon circle. She also writes and hosts literary events. Maria Marggraf currently lives in Basel, Switzerland.

In this week's episode, I recall reading THE SILMARILLION for the first time as a teenager, and discuss how it later influenced MAGIC THE GATHERING. TRANSCRIPT 00:00:00 Welcome and Writing Updates Hello everyone. Welcome to Episode 164 of The Pulp Writer Show. My name is Jonathan Moeller. Today is August the 13th, 2023 and today we're going to discuss The Silmarillion and how it connects to Magic the Gathering and we'll also answer some reader questions and have an update on my current writing projects. First up, let's have an update on my current writing projects. I'm pleased to report that Dragonskull: Crown of the Gods, the final book in the Dragonskull series is now out. You can get it at Amazon, Barnes and Noble, Kobo, Google Play, Apple Books, Smashwords, Scribd, and Payhip on my own store. It came out officially yesterday actually, and it's been selling very well very briskly. So, thank you all for that. It is also the 9th and final book in the Dragonskull series, so those of you who refuse to read the series until it's complete, you can now buy all nine Dragonskull books immediately and enjoy them. I also released a bonus short story called The Final Shield that is a preview of the next Epic Fantasy series I will write in Andomhaim in the year 2024. So if you want a preview of that series, you can check out The Final Shield. My newsletter subscribers will have gotten that story for free and I'll be doing a follow up e-mail in a week or so. So, if you sign up for the newsletter right now, you will get a free ebook copy of The Final Shield next week. Now that Dragonskull is finished as part of my Summer of Finishing Things, the next thing I will write will be Silent Order: Pulse Hand, the 14th and final book in the Silent Order science fiction series. I'm going to start that tomorrow as a matter of fact and hopefully have it out towards the end of September. 00:01:49 Reader Questions and Comments So, let's have some questions and comments from readers. Our first question is from James, who asks: I do have a question. I understand it's very expensive to create an Audible book. Are there any plans to make an Audible version for the last set of the Ghost Night Book series? At the moment, no. The Ghosts is completely in audiobook. Ghost Exile is completely in audiobook, and when I start writing a new Caina series after Silent Order: Pulse Hand, I'm going to start doing that one in audiobook right away. But at the moment, I don't have any plans to do a Ghost Night audiobook series. Things may change later, but for now I don't. Our next question is from Andy, who asks: For Dragonskull: Doom of the Sorceress, you seem to do a soft open, e.g. publish the table of contents on Wednesday and then late Friday I was able to download the book on iBooks. I'm hoping the same for The Crown of the Gods. Well, this is what I do when I publish a book: The first day I will publish it everywhere on all the platforms: Amazon, Barnes and Noble, Kobo, Google Play, Apple Books, Smashwords, Payhip, and then through Smashwords, should get on Scribd eventually, and then I leave alone the rest of that day. So the day after then I will start an Amazon auto target ad to start getting word out. The day after that I will post links. So the second day after I publish I will post links for the book on Facebook and other social media and then the day after that, ideally the third day after publishing, is when I will send out the newsletter letting everyone know that it's been read, so that way, usually by then, by the third day, it's finished processing on all the platforms and I can then send out a newsletter out letting every reader I have on every platform know that it's available on their platform of choice. So that's usually what I do. For the table of contents, I post that when I get to a certain phase of editing, and at that point I'm almost done with the book. So once I have posted the table of contents, it's not too much longer until the book will be done and I will be ready to publish. Our next question is from William, who asks similar questions: I've been listening to some of your works through Audible. I started listening to Frostborn: The Gray Knight. It seems like I'm missing some of the story. Your website says Frostborn: The First Quest is the first book, but I can't seem to find it on Audible. Is it in a bundle that I'm not aware of, similar to The Ghosts: Omnibus One? What books or series should I read before that one, Frostborn or is Frostborn its own universe? Thanks for listening, William. I'm glad you enjoyed the books. To answer your questions, Frostborn is its own universe, completely distinct from The Ghosts. Frostborn: The First Quest is a prequel novel I wrote before the main series of Frostborn, and we've never done that one in audio because it is not part of the main story and you don't actually need to read Frostborn: The First Quest to understand what's going on in the main story. So that's sort of a bonus material that's out there. Potentially someday, we might do Frostborn: The First Quest in audio, but I don't have any plans to do that right now. And I should mention that the complete Frostborn series is in audio as is the two sequel series, Sevenfold Sword and Dragontiarna. They're all available in audio and you can get them all on Audible. Our next question is from Paloma, who asks about the Dragonskull and Frostborn series. A question: the Magistri get married and have families, but I don't remember any Magistri in the books having any spouses with them. I hope that is not the men…and the men and women in the situation are like monks. So I hope Joaquin has someone amazing in his future. That is an interesting question, but in the setting of Andomhaim, the Magistri can in fact get married. If you've read the Frostborn series, you might remember at the end the Magistrius Camorak does get married to a widow at the end of Frostborn: The Shadow Prison. So it is perfectly normal for the Magistri in Andomhaim to get married. That said, they tend to get married at a much lower level than the rest of the population in Andomhaim. This is partly because a lot of the commoners and many of the nobles in Andomhaim have a deep suspicion of magic and only tolerate the Magistri because they're useful or sometimes not at all. Sometimes the Magistri themselves also get very either wrapped up in their studies to the point where they don't have time for spouse and children, or they become so in love with their own power and prestige and authority that they, you know, don't have any interest in pursuing relationships. Because the nobles are more common…or more comfortable with the Magistri than the commoners, it's not entirely uncommon for a Lord to have an affair if he happens to have a female Magistria assigned to his court. And this doesn't happen like terribly often, but often enough that it's the subject of several popular songs that the nobles and the Magistri aren't too fond of Andomhaim. So that is the bit of world building there, that the Magistri can get married and do, but not as often as the rest of the population in Andomhaim for the reasons we just mentioned. And finally, we have a comment from Bill about last week's episode about dealing with bad reviews. And Bill had this to say: Love this episode and you are 100% correct. Don't respond. Do not engage. Some people are just spoiling for an argument. Sometimes I've wrote a review and thought, you know, for your point, and sometimes I felt, well that guy totally missed the point. But most of all, don't let negative reviews get under your skin. What you write is not going to appeal to everyone. We live in this amazing paradox. There are more books than ever, and readers have access to all the books ever via online services. So why waste your time reading something you don't like and then taking the time and effort to complain about it? Sounds like some people need a hobby. Not every author's works are going to appeal to every single reader. That's OK. There is tons of other great stuff out there. The important thing is that your work will appeal to some readers, and those are folks you should cherish. That's what matters and pays the bills. So wise words from Bill there and a good reminder that it's never a good idea to engage with negative reviews online. 00:07:54 The Silmarillion and Magic The Gathering: Arena So now it's time to transition to our main topic, The Silmarillion and Magic the Gathering, and we're going to talk about how The Silmarillion and Magic The Gathering: Arena, the free app are related. If I remember correctly, I first read The Silmarillion when I was either 17 or 18. I got it at the small town bookshop in the small town where I grew up. The book shop alas, no longer exists and the storefront is now occupied by a place selling kitchen fixtures. I still have the specific copy of The Silmarillion that I bought. It was the gold mass market paperback that showed the fall of Númenor on the cover, and the cover blurb said it was the history of the Elves of Middle Earth. Since I had read the Lord of the Rings when I was 16, I was definitely interested in trying The Silmarillion. Reading the Lord of The Rings gives us a sense of the vast history behind the story, a history that had been going on long, long before Bilbo ever met Thorin Oakenshield and found the ring in the goblin tunnels beneath the Misty Mountain. At the end of Rings, there are bits and pieces of that history in the various appendixes, but it had never been fully explained. So, I thought The Silmarillion might be an intriguing read, and at 17 or possibly 18, I was already very interested in fantasy worldbuilding, which as we know, would serve me well in later…later in life. Now it must be said, The Silmarillion is kind of a difficult read. Like, it starts off with the creation myth and then has a long section where the Valar ordered the world and then explains who each of the Valar are in great detail and the elves don't even show up for a while. In terms of the text, it feels like a combination of reading an ancient chronicle like Xenophon or Tacitus combined with the Epic of Gilgamesh and the historical books of the Bible, specifically the ones where every chapter starts with King Whoever did evil in the eyes of the Lord, more than all his predecessors combined. So in terms of reading, The Silmarillion is a heavy lift. But what did I think the first time I read it? In all honesty, The Silmarillion blew my underdeveloped adolescent mind. It was one of the first fictional things I read that was truly epic in scope, like some parts of it, I just didn't get, but I had just enough historical knowledge at the time to grasp from the inspirations. Like, the Valar were kind of like the Greek and Roman gods without the jerkish behavior, Melkor/Morgoth was an analog for the devil, Numenor was inspired by Atlantis, and so forth. As you get older, some, in fact, many of the memories of adolescence tend to get hazier, but I can still clearly remember reading portions of The Silmarillion in that gold mass market paperback for the first time, the music of the Ainur, Fëanorand the Silmarils, Melkor and Ungoliant, the Battle of Tears Unnumbered, Fingolfin's duel with Morgoth before the gates of Angband, Beren and Lúthien Tinúviel, Turin and the Dragon Glaurung, The fall of Gondolin, The voyage of Eärendil, and finally the War of Wrath when Eärendil casts the Great Dragon Ancalagon The Black from the sky into the towers of Thangorodrim and Morgoth is finally overthrown. And then at the end, Maglor, in his despair and grief after so much suffering, casts the final Simaril into the sea, and forever wanders Middle-earth, singing of his regret. All these amazing, epic, and tragic scenes are cached in the imagination. I mean, I can't remember what I had for lunch yesterday, but I do remember reading The Silmarillion for the first time. About that time I started digging around in my school's library and I found some of the various history of Middle Earth books that Christopher Tolkien had published from his father's copious notes. Among them was The Lays of Beleriand, which included an epic poem Tolkien wrote about the quest of Beren and Luthien, but never got around to finishing. The poor guy enjoyed puttering so much that is probably astonishing that he finished the Lord of the Rings at all. I don't generally enjoy poetry, but since I already knew the story of Beren and Lúthien, and I was able to follow along with the poem and the sheer craft and skill that blew my mind. Like, I never have had any interest at all in writing poetry, but this was amazing. The Silmarillion, like the Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit, is one of those books that will endure the test of time and become part of sort of the cultural canon like Sherlock Holmes, Romeo and Juliet, Ebenezer Scrooge, and so forth. Let's jump forward many years to 2023, when I started playing Magic The Gathering: Arena. The game received a Lord of the Rings themed expansion pack, which I started playing in June, once it made its way onto the app. It's a point of pride with me that I've never spent any actual U.S. dollars on the game, but I've won enough matches that the in game gold starts to accumulate and the only thing to spend the in game gold on is in game card packs. So I've gotten more and more and more of the Rings themed Magic cards. One of those cards is the Tale of Tinuviel, which is an enchantment card that distributes its effects over three turns. On the first turn, you pick a creature to be invulnerable for the next three turns. On the second, you can pick two creatures to have life link to the end of the turn. And on the third, you can bring back one of your previously killed creatures. It's a powerful card, which is fitting, since in The Silmarillion, Lúthien forces Sauron to flee and puts Morgoth and his entire court to sleep long enough for her and Beren to escape from Angband within the Silmarils. Anyway, the very first time I played the Tale of Tinuviel card, I was losing the match pretty badly, but I played the card and turned things around just long enough for me to win three turns later. It was an interesting experience, since it brought back the memories of reading The Silmarillion and the Lays of Beleriand from the first time, all those years ago in a previous century. And amusingly, I played a match right before I recorded this podcast and I won because I used the Tale of Tinuviel yet again. So that's it for this week. Thanks for listening to The Pulp Writer Show. I hope you found the show useful. If you enjoyed the podcast, please leave a review on your podcasting platform of choice. Stay safe, stay healthy, and see you all next week.

Jared, Oriana and Ned discuss Oriana's choice of topic: land. By default the Middle-earth legendarium is about a place that never was, however rooted in the actual planet we live on, and the range of details from sweeping mountains and vast continents to small roads and fields evident throughout the cycle of stories is a key part of what has made Tolkien's work so vivid and loved. Both The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings are specifically about journeys as the key plotline, where characters move into spaces that they'd only heard about dimly or not at all as they seek to fulfill their aims. That said, there's certainly more than this to how Tolkien considers and situates the geography of his creation, including the in-universe explanations of that creation to start with and Melkor's marring of it. How has Tolkien's grounding of Middle-earth in the feeling of Northern Europe in general shaped perceptions of fantasy worlds since, and what authors and traditions have worked against it? What are the senses of how layers of history have both informed and shaped the land and the peoples who were and are there in the legendarium, and how does that emerge along the way as the stories progress? Have the expectations and experiences of quick and easy travel shaped our reaction to understanding how slow journeys are, especially on foot, as was the case for most of human history? And did the stones of Eregion indeed actually speak?SHOW NOTES.Jared's doodle. And who wouldn't enjoy that view, we ask?The WGA strike is of course still happening. And you should still support it! And the actors too!And indeed, Andy Serkis's The Silmarillion reading is out!So yes, not only did a fan purchase the Magic: The Gathering The One Ring card by lucky chance, following the episode recording he sold it to hardcore MTG fan Post Malone. Truly this is a world we are in.The promo performance of “Now And For Always” from the revival of the LOTR musical is pretty nice! Performances did start soon after the episode recording and an initial Guardian review was quite complimentary. More promo photos are available, and again there's always our episode on the original production…The Rings of Power Emmy nominations. Of course, when the Emmys themselves will happen is another matter.The Society of American Archivists' announcement of William Fliss's award for his continuing work with the Marquette University Tolkien archive.We meant to mention that fellow Megaphonic podcast The Spouter-Inn discussed The Fellowship of the Ring as part of a cluster of books about land, and then had Oriana on as a guest.Much of the Christopher Tolkien-edited History of Middle-earth series is essentially about Tolkien's decades-long process of setting down what Middle-earth actually was. Among the key books in the series in this regard are The Shaping of Middle-earth and Morgoth's Ring.I suspect most of us had our own Oregon Trail experiences.No, we are not going to relitigate the Eagles.

Ulmo helps Turgon build the hidden city of Gondolin. Ulmo promises to protect Gondolin but urges Turgon to remember that the curse of the Noldor stands, and that one would come to warn them of near peril. In Doriath, Galadriel recounts to Melian some of the hidden past of the Noldor, but withholds information about the Oath of Fëanor, the kinslaying, and the burning of the ships at Losgar. But the truth comes out. Three friends read and react to the greatest story you've never heard — the Silmarillion by J.R.R. Tolkien. 00:33 Cameron reads pages 125-130 from the Silmarillion, 2nd Edition 19:31 Recap "And Ulmo said: 'Now thou shalt go at last to Gondolin, Turgon; and I will maintain my power in the Vale of Sirion, and in all the waters therein, so that none shall mark thy going, nor shall any find there the hidden entrance against thy will. Longest of all the realms of the Eldalië shall Gondolin stand against Melkor. But love not too well the work of thy hands and the devices of thy heart; and remember that the true hope of the Noldor lieth in the West and cometh from the Sea."

Trigger warning on this episode. Dealing with your family, both the current family and the Ancestors, can be very challenging. We answer two listener questions about these topics. Family who are fully aware of pagan beliefs but get offended if something is ever posted or mentioned that isn't aligned with their Christian worldview. At the same time they feel they can post what they want. Also "I am just starting to deepen my practice as a heathen and I find myself very interested in speaking to and reaching out to my ancestors, especially when I listen to you both discussing it on the podcast.  However, A lot of my ancestors were terrible people. (redacted) I think this might be a very divisive issue as I am sure some folks would advocate for respecting the ancestors regardless, but my morality goes hand in hand with my spiritual practice so I simply can't do that. Alternatively, would it be advisable simply not to venerate the ancestors altogether in my case?” – Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/around-grandfather-fire/message Suggest a topic or a guest: https://forms.gle/dYrQUpyE7VPDGnUP8 Our Patreon https://www.patreon.com/aroundgrandfatherfire Our Buy Me A Coffee https://www.buymeacoffee.com/agfpodcast -- Copyright 2023 -- Tinder Tony, Heidi, Claire, Hanna, Kristine, Laura Loki, Imtir, Casper K., Blkcat88, Craig, Emi, Voyager, Josie, Jean Cavanaugh Spark M Anon, Indi Latrani, Katie, Dashifen, Melkor, Alissa Addy, LaDena, Marco, Amanda S., Annora, Boojumhaus, Nolan, Elanor Faithful,  Douglas S.

Our links: https://linktr.ee/lotradhome Welcome back to "A Drunk History of Middle-earth," the podcast where Chris and Rebecca continue their discussion of J.R.R. Tolkien's works as if explaining it to a drunk person. In this episode, they pick up where they left off and delve into the story of the chaining of Melkor, which followed the awakening of the elves. As they recount the tale with their trademark humor and insight, Chris and Rebecca share their thoughts on the fascinating characters and events that make up this epic tale. And as always, they end the episode with a fun fact to keep you on your toes. This week's fact is about Tolkien's dispute with a publisher in Germany, a little-known story that sheds light on the challenges faced by authors in the mid-20th century. Chris and Rebecca bring an accessible and engaging approach to their discussion of Middle-earth. Whether you're a die-hard fan of the series or new to the world of Tolkien, you're sure to learn something new and have a few laughs along the way. So grab a drink (or not, depending on your preferences), and join Chris and Rebecca on this epic journey through Middle-earth!

It always comes back to Rush, at least when The Lord of the Mark returns! Join Alan, and a few of our listeners, as we celebrate Shawn's return to the common-room with our latest Q&A episode, this time with more Star Trek than Shawn knows what to do with. We answer questions about scary book scenes, Melkor's role in the Music, and the real meaning of ‘Nauglamir'. We speculate about Beren's presence at the Dagor Bragollach, and what-if our way into a world without Eärendil, much to Shawn's dismay. Also, we crew our Federation starship with Elves, and agree that Eärendil is the Ford Prefect of the legendarium.
