Episode Description
Hey there, Fellowship! Welcome to The Tolkien Road.
Every new year brings new resolutions—and for many Tolkien readers, one challenge stands above the rest: The Silmarillion. It’s a book admired, feared, and often postponed. But here at The Tolkien Road, we believe it’s the very heart of Tolkien’s legendarium—and the key to truly understanding Middle-earth.
Starting today, and continuing every Wednesday for the next year, we’ll be walking through The Silmarillion one chapter at a time. Join us on this epic journey, and together we’ll earn our Silmarillion badges—one chapter, one story, one adventure at a time!In this episode, we’ll start with Tolkien’s introduction to the First Age of Middle-earth, The Waldman Letter.
Alright, let’s dive in!
