Realm of Finrod Felagund: Nargothrond, the Jewel of Beleriand
Step into the world of Beleriand, where ancient legends come to life. In this immersive journey, we're swept away by the tales of the Noldor Elves returning to Middle-earth and the mysteries that unfold in their wake.
Central to the story is Finrod, who, along with Turgon, is haunted by eerie visions from Ulmo, the Lord of Waters. These visions lead them on a journey to discover the hidden whereabouts of Finrod's future kingdom
We witness Finrod's unwavering determination as he constructs the formidable underground fortress of Nargothrond. With the aid of Dwarves and guided by Ulmo's whispers, he carves out sprawling caves, grand halls, and strategic strongholds such as the Hill of Spies and the illustrious Doors of Felagund.
But amidst the awe-inspiring architecture and majestic landscapes of Beleriand, danger lurks beneath the surface. Treachery and secrets abound as alliances are forged and broken in the struggle for power and survival.
Yet amidst the turmoil, there are moments of camaraderie and friendship, notably between Finrod and Círdan, the master shipwright of the Falathrim. Together, they navigate the treacherous waters of Sirion, rebuilding havens and crafting fleets to safeguard against looming threats.
As we explore the enchanting landscapes of Aelin-uial and the ethereal Meres of Twilight, we are drawn deeper into the rich tapestry of Beleriand's geography. From the flowing waters of Sirion to the shadowy borders of Doriath, each location holds its own secrets and perils, waiting to be uncovered.
Through this alternate perspective, we delve into the complexities of alliances, the pursuit of power, and the enduring legacy of heroes like Finrod Felagund. Join us on this journey through the Silmarillion, where every turn reveals a new chapter in the epic tale of Middle-earth.

    Oh you forgot to mention that Maedhros objects to burning the ships. "But when they were landed, Maedhros the eldest of his sons, and on a time the friend of Fingon ere Morgoth’s lies came between, spoke to Feanor, saying: “Now what ships and rowers will you spare to return, and whom shall they bear hither first? Fingon the valiant?" Then Feanor laughed as one fey, and he cried: "None and none! What I have left behind I count now no loss; needless baggage on the road it has proved. Let those that cursed my name, curse me still, and whine their way back to the cages of the Valar! Let the ships burn!” Then Maedhros alone stood aside, but Feanor caused fire to be set to the white ships of the Teleri" And the fact that Fingon didnt know this until after he rescued Maedhros is another indication of their deep friendship

This swear we all: death we will deal him ere Day's ending, woe unto world's end! Our word hear thou, Eru Allfather! To the everlasting Darkness doom us if our deed faileth. On the holy mountain hear in witness and our vow remember, Manwë and Varda!" The Quenya version is more powerful.

    Great work. Many of hardcore fans know this, but there is a section in History of ME regarding the war for the sake of the elves and it says that the attack on Utumnu was a planned diversion by the Valar to extract the Eldar. They weren't expecting to win. But Melkor had already gone somewhat down the path of becoming Morgoth (dispersing his power and being into the world) Manwe is shocked to see Melkor so reduced and sensing that his being is less than he was; and Melkor was shocked also from his own point of view, he couldnt daunt his brother with his gaze anymore and Tulkas was able to wrestle him to the ground and bind him. That is one of the reasons that the elves were somewhat afraid of the Valar. They saw the war and its destruction from afar

    Please finish these... I know they’re expensive and time-consuming, having to look for artists all over the place to feature their work and, I’m guessing, AI for some of the video edits in order to create epic, complex shots. If you finish, then you can say you adapted the Silmarillion to screen FIRST. I’d say you’re 2/5ths the way through the Quenta Silmarillion, almost past the halfway point. If you can find the strength within, wield it if able.
