03 - The Years of Bliss
Welcome to "A Drunk History of Middle-Earth" with your hosts Chris and Rebecca, a husband and wife team who love to explore the fascinating world of J.R.R. Tolkien's Middle-Earth while having a few drinks. In this episode, we delve into the years of bliss in Valinor, where the Valar resided after Melkor messed everything up in Middle-earth. We discuss what Ulmo, Aule, Yavanna, Manwe, Arda and Melkor did during their downtime and how their actions shaped the world that would come to be for the children of Eru Ilúvatar. We also explore the role of Elves and Men and how they will fit into this young world. From the awakening of the Elves, to the gifts of men, to their eventual departure from Middle-Earth, we take a trip through the history of these fascinating times.
