How weird is it to make your own language? Find out as we discuss J.R.R. Tolkien's "A Secret Vice", in which he describes his own evolution in making languages, the beauty in such a hobby, and language itself being an art form. Follow us on X! Give us your opinions here!
This week, we get into the weeds as we attempt something ambitious, only to spend the whole episode in and around Nan Elmoth with the story of Maeglin in Chapter XVI of the Quenta Silmarillion. Why is the suppression of language so important? How does Tolkien's essentialism change the way we understand this book? How much dramatic irony are we supposed to detect in the wisdom of our heroes? ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

Minas Ithil, Sindarin für "Turm des Mondes", später in Minas Morgul umbenannt, war eine riesige Stadt in Gondor und die Schwesterstadt von Minas Anor, dem Turm der Sonne, die wiederum später zu Minas Tirith umbenannt wurde.

Se dijo que con la guía de Ulmo, Turgon de Nevrast descubrió el valle escondido de Tumladen, que se extendía al este de las aguas superiores del Sirion (como se supo luego), en un anillo de montañas altas y escarpadas, y ninguna criatura llegaba allí salvo las águilas de Thorondor. Pero había un camino profundo bajo las montañas, excavado en la oscuridad del mundo por las aguas que iban a unirse a las corrientes del Sirion; y este camino encontró Turgon, y así llegó a la llanura verde en medio de las montañas, y vio la colina—isla que se levantaba allí de piedra lisa y dura; pues el valle había sido un gran lago en días antiguos. Entonces Turgon supo que había encontrado el lugar que deseaba, y decidió edificar allí una hermosa ciudad en memoria de Tirion sobre Tuna; pero regresó a Nevrast, y permaneció allí en paz, aunque siempre meditaba en cómo podría llevar a cabo lo que se había propuesto. Ahora bien, después de la Dagor Aglareb, a Turgon le volvió la inquietud que Ulmo le había puesto en el corazón, y convocó a muchos de los más osados y hábiles de los suyos, y los condujo en secreto al valle escondido, y allí empezaron la construcción de la ciudad que había concebido Turgon; y montaron guardia alrededor para que nadie los sorprendiese desde fuera, y el poder de Ulmo en el Sirion los protegía. Pero Turgon continuó residiendo en Nevrast, hasta que por fin la ciudad estuvo por completo edificada, al cabo de cincuenta y dos años de trabajos ocultos. Se dice que Turgon había decidido llamarla Ondolindë en la lengua de los Elfos de Valinor, la Roca de la Música de las Aguas, pues había fuentes en la colina; pero en la lengua Sindarin el nombre cambió, y se convirtió en Gondolin, la Roca Escondida. Entonces Turgon se preparó a partir de Nevrast y abandonar los recintos de Vinyamar junto al mar; y allí Ulmo se le presentó otra vez, y fe habló, y dijo: —Irás ahora por fin a Gondolin, Turgon; y mantendré yo mi poder en el Valle del Sirion, y en todas las aguas que allí hay, de modo tal que nadie advierta tu marcha, ni nadie encuentre la entrada escondida si tú no lo quieres. Más que todos los reinos de los Eldalië soportará Gondolin contra Melkor. Pero no ames con exceso la obra de tus manos y las concepciones de tu corazón; y recuerda que la verdadera esperanza de los Noldor está en el Occidente y viene del Mar...

„Lembas“ wird in J.R.R. Tolkiens „Herr der Ringe“ beschrieben als ein dünner Keks, als Reisebrot, von dem nur ein einziger Bissen einen erwachsenen Menschen für längere Zeit satt machen kann. Ein Wort aus einem Fantasyroman, das es aus der Welt der Literatur geschafft hat hinein in unseren Alltag. Hinter der Wortschöpfung verbirgt sich aber – beispielweise bei Tolkien - die Entwicklung ganzer Sprachen. Stellvertretend für das Sindarin mit eigener Grammatik steht so etwa das Wort Lembas. Prof. Sandra Richter spricht über die enorme Bereicherung unserer Sprache durch diese Neuschöpfungen und über die Faszination, die von Fantasiesprachen ausgeht.
Settle in, because this is a long one... the raw audio for this recording was the longest we've had by far. But that's because Nobles: the Shining Host, the first Changeling book to delve into Kithain nobility, covers a lot of bases. It's not quite "Kithbook: Sidhe," but there's enough about them in there to satisfy most players and STs who want to know more about the kith; on top of that, you have plenty about the social structure and cultural dynamics of nobles from any background. We get bits of history, an epic tale, political parties and secret societies, information about Concordia's monarchs, some new Traits (including two new Arts), a new House, character templates... the book really packs it in. We cover it in this episode as briskly, yet thoroughly, as possible—but even so, this is almost our longest episode thus far. (This is also the reason why it's going out a bit late this week. Nostra maxima culpa.) how to play a sidhe Just kidding—we're not going to tell you the exact answer to that, because there really isn't one. Ultimately, you do what you want to do. But, since the book focuses heavily (not entirely!) on this kith, we are going to point out a couple things about trends and possibilities. See, the traditional roles for sidhe in CtD games have tended towards: 1. pretty Mary Sues who are (or demand to be) able to do anything (especially when people just want to play a sidhe for that extra Boon), 2. uptight patricians who treat egoism and sucking all the oxygen out of a room (or gaming session) as a virtue, 3. as Josh put it, the real-life protagonists of soap operas (for the viewing pleasure of the commoners), or 4. all of the above, which is doable because the first three are stat-, personality-, and narrative-based, respectively. The exact shape of these things has waxed and waned over the years—"mysterious warrior-sorcerer with Appearance 7 and/or an ethereal presence" seems to be a common expression of (1) these days—but the common threads are quite visible. The unfortunate thing is that the early books, at least, set up a lot of alternatives to these archetypes, even as they also provide examples of them. And yet somehow, the alternatives seem to have faded more and more into the background. Maybe this is due to real-world ideals working their way into the game: commoners are moving front and center with progressive, anti-aristocratic ideas, and the sidhe have flattened more and more into these Tolkien-elf types with little variation. The sidhe are a kith; Title is a Background; nobility is a quality; and while the three may overlap more than most other kith-Trait-characteristic combinations, it is not a necessity. (Remember, those in the back: your sidhe does not have to have a Title/be part of a House.) We mention this because the sidhe fall into the trap most often, maybe, of becoming one-dimensional characters, with the only variation being the specific Trait build that represents their particular snottiness. It's true that kiths tend to shape characters; it's also true that more and more, especially with C20, there is pushback against such determinism. (Old fogies' note: it was always there, e.g., you could play soft-hearted Seelie redcap who liked macrame, but the game's willingness to foreground that varied.) So why would you not make a sidhe who is more interesting than the typical [insert Title here] [insert elaborate faux-Sindarin name here] [insert House here] [insert optional florid moniker here], knight and/or wizard and/or courtier par excellence? One of the first canon sidhe in fiction is Leigh from the Immortal Eyes trilogy, who is a teenage redhead knight struggling to reconcile her newly-discovered nature, princess memories, and swelling sense of honor with her upbringing as a working-class cop's daughter, as well as her fervent desire to be a chef. She has a soft spot for protecting childlings (though she's also a firm babysitter), she has a crush on the bad-boy Unseelie eshu, and she worries about making ends meet with her line-cook salary in her crummy one-bedroom (but she's also thrilled to be living away from her mortal family for the first time). She is far from perfect, but aspires to be better, and she has the capabilities of a beautiful warrior, but is far from defined by them. This book gives a lot of material to work with to navigate that level of complexity, as do many of the others—if you're willing to look for it. We encourage you, therefore, to think outside the box and make being a sidhe (or being a noble) not the most important thing about your character. It may not be the least important either, but give your character a little depth before working that piece in. Obviously, this advice can be applied to any kith—it's just that sidhe tend to suffer for it most than the others. ... the Trod Background Just because the headache that is this Background deserved to be reproduced in its entirety, here it is in table format. Pick the Background level you want in the first column, then choose one row within that level to determine which destinations the trod has access to across the world/Dreaming, and (in the last column) how often it's available: Destinations:localregionalnationalNear DreamingFar DreamingDeep DreamingAccessible...At Level 111/4 of the yearLevel 2 (choose one row)1 2-3 11/2 of the year 1/4 of the year all the timeLevel 3 (choose one row)2-3 2-3 2-31 1 00 1 01/2 of the year 1/4 of the year all the timeLevel 4 (choose one row)4-5 4-5 2-3 2-32 2 1 11 1 0 02 1 0 10 1 0 01/2 of the year 1/4 of the year all the time 1/2 of the yearLevel 5 (choose one row)4-5 4-5 2-33-4 4-5 12 4 02 2 10 2 01 1 01/2 of the year 1/4 of the year all the time Yes, we're aware that the first and third options for Level 2 are directly contradictory. The book also suggests that the accessibility be tied to natural cycles, e.g., a trod that's only open 1/4 of the year might be available during a certain season, and a trod open 1/2 of the year might only be available every other day or only at night. Surely there was some mathematical formula to figure out the balance of all this, but no idea what that might have been; heaven help you if you decide to have a single Background represent multiple trods, e.g., taking four dots in the Background allows you to choose two options from Level 2. Are we having fun yet? ... clancy brown We're not saying the sidhe on page 49 isn't noted actor and voice actor (including, ironically, in Trollhunters: Tales of Arcadia) Clancy Brown, but it's totally Clancy Brown. Publicity photo provided for comparison! ... parliamentary breakdown (but not the fun kind) In case you needed some statistics for who's in the Parliament circa this book's publication in late 1995/early 1996... all percentages are relative to the entire Parliament, not the specific group being described: Sidhe nobles make up 42% of the Parliament, even though they only make up 5% of the Kithain in Concordia (though that number may have increased a bit as more Houses have returned, and the Autumn Sidhe have become a thing in C20). The Traditionalists make up 20%, Reformers 15%, and Modernists 7%Commoner nobles make up 20% of the Parliament: Traditionalists 8%, Reformers 4%, Modernists 8%. Meanwhile, non-Titled commoners make up the remaining 38%, with Traditionalists 15%, Reformers 7%, and Modernists 16%, suggesting that commoner political affiliation is roughly the same, regardless of whether they're noble or not—and with a surprisingly high number of Traditionalists. Overall, when you see that the nobles have a majority, and the Traditionalists have a plurality, the feudal system sticking around as long as it has begins to make a bit more sense (as does the more reform-minded fae's frustration).Within the Parliament, sidhe make up 42%—therefore, all sidhe in the Parliament are nobles. The remaining breakdown is boggans at 14%, trolls at 9%, nockers at 8%, pooka and satyrs at 6% each, sluagh, redcaps, and eshu at 5% each. We don't have breakdowns by kith for nobles and political inclinations, but presumably the boggans and trolls have higher rates of both nobility and Traditionalism.Similarly, we don't get political inclination breakdown by House, but we're told that Gwydion makes up 12% of Parliament, Eiluned and Fiona 10% each, Dougal 6%, Liam 3%, and Scathach a pitiful 1%. We also have the note that 95% of the Parliament is Seelie—estimated, of course. Obviously, as new kiths have been made standard in C20, Unseelie power has become more openly displayed, and the Autumn World's political landscape has evolved, all of these are subject to change. But as a baseline for how things work, it's still a useful tool to start with... in the episode, we sort of poke fun at the voting system of Concordia. Nevertheless, there is undeniable nerdy pleasure to be had from a story centered around the electoral campaigns and machinations of the fae, if you want to work that into your chronicle. (Yes, one of us might be a fan of both Borgen on TV night and Die Mächer on board game night.) ... your hosts Josh Hillerup (he/him) flew into battle on a song and a prayer. Pooka G (any pronoun/they) strolled into Hell with some flowers in the hair. ... "I had been too long away from the nobility; I had forgotten how silly even the best of them could be." —Laurell K.

In seinem letzten Jahr an der King Edward‘s School in Birmingham entdeckte Tolkien das finnische Nationalepos, die Kalevala. Nicht nur die Heldengeschichten, die in Versform in der Kalevala festgehalten sind, sondern auch die finnische Sprache an sich faszinierte Tolkien. Besonders ihr Klang hatte es ihm angetan. Es gibt viele Parallelen zwischen der finnischen Sprache und Tolkiens entwickelten Elbensprachen.
Does a language come before story or story comes before language? Sindarin, Quenya, Khuzdul... Over the course of his life Tolkien achieved perhaps what is the ultimate goal of every philologist, inventing his own language and blessing it with an iconic story.
You're listening to Tea with Tolkien, a Podcast for the Hobbit at Heart.Join us as we chat about the works and faith of J.R.R. Tolkien, and strive to carry a little piece of Middle-Earth into our own daily lives.This is the second in a seven-part book club series on The Lord of the Rings. These episodes will be released on the first of each month from now through March to accompany our Book Club as we're reading The Lord of the Rings! If you'd like to join our book club, you can visit www.teawithtolkien.com/book-club.Book Two Recap: Major Themes You Do Not Have to Go Alone: In this book, we see the formation and departure of the Fellowship of the Ring. Finally, the quest has fully begun. While Frodo is willing to take the burden of the Ring onto himself, he acknowledges that he doesn't even know where to begin in terms of getting it to Mordor. And Elrond understands that he cannot go alone. However, he doesn't send him forth with a host of great warriors -- rather he sends him in a small group meant to represent all the peoples of Middle-Earth, a group formed largely around friendship! So we see the theme of Fellowship carrying through into Book II. The life-saving, life-giving virtue of friendship. Rivendell & Lothlorien: In this book we are introduced to two of the great homes of Elvendom in Middle-Earth, Rivendell and Lothlorien. Within the bounds of these two realms, the world feels different entirely. It has been preserved and protected by the power of the Elves, and serves as a refuge for those who visit. Heroic Leadership Requires Sacrifice: Looking at Gandalf and Aragorn specifically, we see in this book the way that great leadership requires sacrifice. In Gandalf's case, he was willing to give up his own life to protect the Fellowship from the Balrog. In Aragorn's case, we see that he is willing to deny his own desires -- both to stay in Rivendell and to go straight to Gondor -- for what he realizes are the greater good of the Fellowship. The Protection of Elbereth: Despite being referenced several times by hobbits and elves even in these first two books, the character of Elbereth remains relatively unexplained throughout The Lord of the Rings. However, with a little help from The Silmarillion, we can begin to understand her more clearly. Elbereth Gilthoniel is the Sindarin name for Varda, one of the Ainur and Queen of the Valar. As the creator of the stars and most beloved by the Elves, the name of Elbereth is invoked in times of distress, darkness, and great need. Her beauty is beyond measure or description, and she is feared and hated most by Melkor. In Three is Company, Gildor says to Frodo, “May Elbereth protect you!”; in A Knife in the Dark, Frodo cries out, “O Elbereth! Gilthoniel!” as he is stabbed by the Morgul blade. And as we journey deeper into the story of The Lord of the Rings, her name will be invoked many more times—keep an eye out for it. I'll see you over on our Discord chat for Book II! I hope this episode was helpful and will spark some good discussion. If you aren't a part of our discord server yet, you can join by signing up for our Book Club with your email address at www.teawithtolkien.com/book-club. I'll be back on November 1st to begin our discussion of Book III, which is the first half of The Two Towers. Discord Chat Discussion Prompts:Keep in mind these are just meant to spark discussion and you don't have to answer every one of these! Thoughts on The Council of Elrond: Did you learn anything new? How has reading the Council of Elrond in light of the Silmarillion changed your perspective (if this isn't your first time reading it)? Discuss Saruman's plans as recounted in the Council of Elrond. Do you think he is lying to Gandalf, or do you think he truly believes that he can still achieve his original purpose in the end? Do Balrogs have wings? The Elves as “Perilous and Fair”? Discuss the different approaches towards Galadriel from the different members of the Fellowship as they enter into Lothlorien, especially that of Gimli and Boromir. How has Gimli's heart softened towards the Elves? At what point did this change occur, and how is its timing significant? How does Galadriel's gift to Gimli mark the beginning of a renewed friendship between Dwarves and Elves? Of all of Galadriel's gifts, which stood out to you as the most interesting or meaningful? How did each gift correspond to its recipient, equipping them according to their needs? Have you noticed any other characters in The Lord of the Rings thus far that remind you of Mary? If so, who and why? Thoughts on Boromir: Do you feel sympathetic towards him? Do you find him relatable?

Nachdem wir nun in Lektion 2 Nomen und in Lektion 3 Verben gelernt haben, können wir schon ganz einfache Sätze in Sindarin bilden. Heute behandeln wir zwei kleinere Themen, mit denen wir jedoch unsere Sätze verfeinern und verlängern können. Außerdem betrachten wir die Adjektive (Wie-Wörter), von denen wir auch schon einige kennengelernt haben. Alles zum Nachlesen findet ihr wie immer auf unserer Website www.antennewetterspitze.de/sindarin
In questo episodio parlerò della storia, della cultura e della lingua dei Sindar. Visita il sito: lingueartificiali.it --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app
Wherein we talk a LOT. Jump right to: 1:50 The International Phonetic Alphabet 30:59 Corrections 36:08 Question 1: Computer languages: Are they languages (in a linguistic sense)? They have rules, syntax, even dialects. They can express certain complex ideas better than English, but they cannot (easily) express arbitrary ideas. 44:50 Question 2: What causes a compound word like ‘bluebird' (a bird that is blue) to become bahuvrihi like ‘Blackbeard' (not a beard that is black, but someone who has a black beard)? 58:31 Question 3: If you could snap your fingers and know a new language, what would it be? (Like taking a point in D&D linguistics, you know the language as if you were a native speaker.) No rules, no restrictions (unless you want to pick one per category: real, commonly used; real, uncommonly used; real, dead; fake movie language; conlang). 1:10:55 Last week's puzzler's answer 1:12:50 The new puzzler: Three incandescent lightbulbs in a room, three lightswitches outside the room. You can look inside the room once and only once, after which you must decide which lightswitch controls which lightbulb.

Introduction! Thanks for the warm and overwhelming support on the return! Chapter 007 Recap Parzival has an epiphany that his home school planet of Ludus is actually the resting place of the Tomb of Horrors. After exploiting away to travel there without zero credits, he manages to find the entrance and makes his way in, ready for the perils that lie ahead. Chapter 0008 Summary With the help of a map from the Tomb of Horrors module, Parzival makes his way through the treacherous tomb avoiding traps and monsters and collecting a heavy amount of gold pieces along the way. He's eventually confronted by Acererak who challenges him to a best 2 out of 3 game of Joust, the classic arcade game. Parzival bests Acererak winning the copper key along with a clue to the first gate but before he's able to leave the Tomb of Horrors, he's stopped short of the entrance by a mysterious figure who making their way inside as well… Chapter 0008 Narrative Parzival uses his map to navigate through the ToH and avoid most of the traps and monsters Levels up like a few types of classes; monster xp vs GP xp; gp xp converts to OASIS credits He eventually makes his way to the Pillared Throne Room where he sees a throne and Acereak sitting there which is a break from the D&D module The voices inside our heads here - what did you hear when you read the booK? "Not horses," he replied, stepping away from his throne. "Birds." The rules to win a copper key, best two out of three. Of course, Parzival had honed his skills over time and credits Aech as it was his favorite (and former) game used to settle asinine pop culture disputes, but did you ever take issue with just how good Wade/Parzival was at everything? I've seen some of the negative criticism from people who didn't paritcularly like the novel and it's a go-to for a lot of those people. Parzival gets his arse handed to him in match #1; but then asks to play on the other side in order to win games 2 and 3 After the second win, Acererak pounds on the side of the cabinet smashing into pixles and graciously congratulates Parzival before taking the form of Anorak. Anaorak hands him the copper key, and Parzival notice two lines of text etched into the key reading, “What you seek lies hidden in the trash on the deepest level of Daggorath.” He immediately knows exactly what this hints refers to and has a hunch that he needs to travel to Middletown, a re-creation of Halliday's hometown as a boy. There, in Halliday's old home, he would find a "Dungeons of Daggorath" game and somehow that would lead him to the first gate to use the copper key on. All he needed to do now was get out of the Tomb of Horrors and make his way immediately there, but just as he was leaving the tomb, he is confronted by the silhouette of another avatar… The Pop!

Ihr lest richtig, wir beginnen mit dieser sagenumwobenen Folge 16 unsere erste eigene (eventuell große) Rubrik, das Elbisch Tutorial. Dabei werden wir ab und an einen Ausflug in die fiktive Sprache Sindarin machen, das wir gemeinsam mit euch lernen wollen. Zunächst schauen wir uns erst einmal an, welche Differenzierungen es beispielsweise zwischen Sindarin und Quenya gibt, aber auch was außer den beiden geläufigeren Sprachzweigen noch so in den Häusern der Elben gesprochen wird/wurde. Auch die ersten nützlichen Vokabeln lernen wir bereits! Wir hoffen ihr habt genauso Lust wie wir und geht mit uns auf diese Reise, an deren Ende hoffentlich Native Speaker aus uns werden. Wir werden auf unserer Website www.antennewetterpitze.de immer die aktuellen Lektionen einfügen und immer wenn wir gemeinsam etwas neues gelernt haben, dieses auch für euch zum Lesen bereitstellen. Vielen Dank an Elias für den Themenwunsch. Dass es über mehrere Folgen gehen wird, wird dich wohl genauso überraschen wie uns selbst.

We all have our mother tongue but over forty percent of the world’s population also can speak a second language. Bilingualism is a natural part of many people’s lives and research has tried to explore what this does to the brain and what the benefits happen to be for our lives. On this week’s show, we’re going to learn why having that second language can be good for your life and also your health. Our first guest has been studying bilingualism for decades and is here to help us understand how it helps our lives. She is Judith Kroll and she is a Distinguished Professor of Language Science at the University of California, Irvine. Before we get into what bilingualism gives us, we learn about the process of learning a second language and why it is beneficial to learn earlier than later. We also explore the concept of codeswitching which allows a person to immediately change languages even in the middle of a sentence. We also explore how being immersed in a multilingual environment can be good for both your learned language as well as your mother tongue. We then move on to the benefits that come with knowing more than one language. While this certainly allows us to travel and possibly increase our job potential in many sectors, some of the best benefits come in the way of improved health. We hear about how one the effects of our greatest concerns with aging, cognitive decline, can be helped by knowing that second language. The research reveals a that while our brains age, we may still be able to hold on to our abilities. In our SASS Class, we take a different approach to knowing a second language. While we may tend to think of French, Spanish, Italian, Chinese, Russian, Hindi, and others as that bilingual choice, there are large segments of the population who focus on speaking fictional languages such as Klingon and Sindarin. Our guest teacher is David Peterson and he is the creator of two languages, Dothraki and High Valyrian from Game of Thrones. We learn about his experience becoming a language creator and how these dialects are formed. We also learn that these languages are just as useful to have as any other…as long as you are in a population hat speaks it.

Tolkien once termed Welsh 'the elder language of the men of Britain'; this talk explores how the sounds and grammar of Welsh captured Tolkien's imagination and are reflected in Sindarin, one of the two major Elvish languages which he created. Mark Williams, Fitzjames Research Fellow in Old and Middle English, Merton College, Oxford gives the second talk in the Tolkien: The Maker of Middle Earth lecture series. This lecture focuses on Tolkien and medieval welsh. This series, convened by Dr Stuart Lee, presents five Oxford academics who examine the medieval languages that J.R.R. Tolkien studied and taught. Each lecture will present a short introduction to a language and its literature. The lectures will show how Tolkien's linguistic and philological scholarship inspired him to create names for characters and places in his literary works, and to invent the languages of Middle-earth.

In this episode, we talk about the Istari, perhaps better known as the wizards! That's right, we're talking about Gandalf, Saruman, Radagast, and yes, a couple more. Who are they? Why are they in Middle-Earth? What about Sauron, does he count? In other news, Dan defends Peter Jackson. Kind of. He can't believe it either. In other other news, there are going to be 3 episodes on the Istari because we talked so much about it. Enjoy! 1:26 What’s an Istari? Who are they? How were they chosen? 1:37 They appeared in Middle the third age when Sauron arrived in Mirkwood 1:58 The Valar decided to get off their butts and do something. 2:15 Manwë called everyone together to decide who to send. 2:23 Aulë knows a guy Curunír (Curumo/Saruman) 3:00 Yavanna sends a chaperone… Radagast! 3:50 Aulë is out of control! 4:18 Entwives are the chaperones of the chaperones? 4:41 Yavanna doesn’t trust Aulë’s servants… Can you blame her? 4:55 Saruman got caught up in creating stuff and Radagast got so distracted by nature that he just gave up. 5:15 Curunír is “the one of cunning devices” in Sindarin, Curumo is his Quenya name and Saruman is “man of skill” in the languages of men. Radagast/Aiwendil is Lover of birds… he sure is. 7:51 Saruman resents his boss’ wife sending a lame babysitter. 8:42 The three other Istari, starting with Alatar and Pallando 9:11 Pallando’s finger guns - Erica was actually doing finger guns right then. You can’t see it but it’s awesome! 9:25 Making up definitions for Alatar and Pallando’s names. In Elvish, Palan means afar, like the palantir, that which sees afar. -Do is a masculine suffix, so Pallando is Afarman. Tar is a modifier meaning lord and ala is a verb that means to grow or to plant. So Alatar is Growlord? 10:05 Alatar and Pallando are the blue istari 10:37 Saruman is the head of the order, Alatar is next most powerful and they both brought someone. 11:28 Manwë was looking for Olórin because he’s the wisest. 11:37 Lórien vs Lothlórien 12:08 Willow reference! 12:23 Shut up Dan! 12:26 Lórien/Irmo Dreams and visions 12:48 Olórin = true/clear vision/dream 13:04 Spoiler alert! Olórin is Gandalf 13:19 Gandalf fears Sauron and doesn’t think he can help. He’s afraid of him. 13:50 3 istari or 5? 14:05 Hey Varda, is Gandalf 5th, 3rd, or 1st? 14:20 Judging Saruman and putting words in his mouth. 14:55 Varda/Elbereth is the queen of stars 15:43 What are Istari? - maia, spirits that can take form 16:15 Could a balrog look Elvish? Corruption, evil things lose their ability to hide their true form. The way Morgoth and Sauron did. 16:33 Balrogs are spirits of fire and death, what do you want from them? Nothing. We want nothing more from balrogs. They are cool. 17:00 Maia hanging out. Erica says they weren’t Istari before they were chosen. That’s not really true and we will come back to it in a later part of this episode. Istari is a type of maia. 17:36 Why are Istari? 17:50 Vala council 17:59 Manwë decides to send emissaries because Sauron is out of control. 18:37 Avatars vs. emissaries. Not, like, in an epic fight or anything, just the distinction. 19:03 Bang! Out of the canon! Talkin’ bout Unfinished Tales! 19:20 What’s an avatar? Not an Istari, I can tell ya that! 19:40 More about emissaries. 20:00 Erica did her research this time! But she still hasn’t read Norse mythology. More on that later… 20:10 We

Hey there fellow travelers! Welcome to The Tolkien Road, a long walk through the works and philosophy of J.R.R. Tolkien. On this episode, we interview Gabriel Blanchard, a fellow Tolkien enthusiast, about Tolkien’s languages. Gabriel really knows his stuff, and I think you’ll find this discussion very helpful when it comes to understanding the different languages that Tolkien created. Also, be sure to check out TrueMyths.org/Elvish for the show notes as well as links to some helpful resources, Gabriel’s blog, and his recently published book. Thanks for listening, and enjoy the show!
