The Moon and the Sun in Middle-earth | JRR Tolkien's The Silmarillion | 9

Uncover the creation of the Moon and Sun in The Silmarillion, born from the last remnants of the Two Trees of Valinor after their destruction by Melkor and Ungoliant. Learn how these new lights rose into the skies of Middle-earth, marking the dawn of new ages and the awakening of Men. Discover how the Valar, retreating from direct involvement in Middle-earth’s affairs, further separated themselves from the world, leaving the Elves, Men, and other Free Peoples to face the rising darkness of Morgoth’s power alone.Who are you?Please tell me a little about you: ringspodcast.com/surveyDeals for you, my fellow wandererDownload my FREE guide for reading Tolkien's Silmarillion: https://ringspodcast.kit.com/a982347493Exclusive discount for Lore of the Rings Listeners: 25% off your entire order at Manly Bands.
