0341 » The Fall of Númenor Pt 16 » SA870: The Wedding of Aldarion & Erendis » Gil-galad, Tar-Meneldur

This chapter continues the story of Aldarion, destined to be Númenor’s 6th King. While it begins with the wedding, long-expected, of Aldarion and Erendis, it concludes with many events unexpected, including word from Gil-galad to the King of Númenor regarding “ a new shadow arising in the East”. This is a long chapter dense with nuance and character development, perhaps the richest glimpse we get into the various psyches of Númenoreans as individuals, and while I’d love to give it a much more in depth reading, I’m only going to hit the high points as regards this history of Númenor. However, if you’d like a more in-depth discussion of this story between me and Greta, please check out the notes, or just go back and find episodes 183, 185, 186, and 187.WATCH THE VIDEO » https://youtu.be/Ega_4eoLio4EXECUTIVE PRODUCERS:- Kaitlyn of Tea with Tolkien- John R- Jacob Lockham- John H- Melkor27- KGFOLLOW & SUPPORT THE TOLKIEN ROAD:PATREON » SUPERFANS!TWITTERFACEBOOKINSTAGRAMLINKS & MATHOMS:- take 10% OFF Tolkien Road merch at True Myths Press » https://truemythspress.com/discount/TENOFF (enter code TENOFF at checkout)- listen to TOLKIEN'S WORKS for FREE » https://www.audibletrial.com/everon- buy Tolkien's Requiem » https://tolkiensrequiem.com/ - buy Tolkien's Overture » https://tolkiensoverture.com/SPECIAL THANKS TO THE FOLLOWING PATRONS:- John R- Kaitlyn of Tea with Tolkien- Jacob Lockham- John H- Melkor27- KG- Emilio P- Jonathan D- Robert H- Paul D- Julia- Werty- JoeBagelMan- Richard K- Matt R- Matthew W- John W- Eugene D- Chris B- Daniel S- Seb M- Cory C- Carolyn S- Ms. Anonymous- Andrew T- Redhawk- Shannon S- Brian O- Zeke F- James L- Chris L- Asya V- Ish of the Hammer- Teresa C- David of Pints with Jack- Eric BAS WELL AS THOSE CELEBRATING THEIR PATRON ANNIVERSARY IN JULY OF 2023- Seb M- Matthew W- Werty- David of Pints With Jack- Chris LBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-tolkien-road--5222755/support.
