Jonathan and Michael continue their analysis of “Aldarion and Erendis”.  These two aren’t exactly star-crossed lovers–their complicated and long-gestating relationship runs for decades, and that’s just BEFORE they get married. Aldarion tries to balance his love of the sea with his love for Erendis… and fights the battle ceaselessly!


In our extended episode (available for our members) we talk more about these changes, and also:


* Did the Valar remove their protection from Aldarion?

* Was their relationship ever actually compatible?

* And what’s up with Aldarion’s title, Lord of the Ships and Havens of Númenor?
