The Silmarils

June 05, 2021

In this minisode, cut from our Feanor episode, we discuss light and how it relates to the Silmarils. We talk about the history of Earendil. He ended up with a Silmaril which was placed in the sky and became the star that was used to create the phial of Galadriel, which Frodo used to burn Shelob. Dan talks about stars granting power to the British in naval history. It all ties together in a neat little package.
