A Drunk History Of Middle-earth

We bring our Noldor series to a close as they get to Middle-earth. It's the end of the beginning. It gets a bit... heated. Massive thank you to Alex from The Silmarillion Soundtrack who let us use "The Oath of Feanor" track in this episode. What a work of art it is!

https://linktr.ee/lotradhome We discuss why elf divorce is a very important issue, then we discuss the elf you love to hate (Feanor) and what happens to the Noldor as a result of Morgoth's lies. We get deep and continue the history of the Noldor in our ongoing series. For the nerds: We discuss some views on the statute of Finwe and Miriel, the Oath of Feanor, the exile to Formenos and the Noldor's view of the Darkening of Valinor.

Why didn't Ungoliant get the sexy Shelob treatment? It's so unfair.

Few glasses of Whiskey, and a chat about Hobbits. Today we discuss Hobbit history, origins, their gift giving culture and of course the language that crops up around them. Turns out halfling was pretty offensive to them, which sucks.

A Drunk Talk detour this week. We chat about Beorn and the Beornings. Their history, who they are and what happens to them during and after LOTR. We also talk about the surprising, but quite dark, origin of the word for bear in some languages and how it relates to our favourite skin-changer.
