**The Exploring Series**

Lore, mythology, and history summaries in easy to understand and easy to digest formats. The series aren’t totally comprehensive, but they provide a great springboard for someone just dipping their toes into a new franchise or topic. So far, I’ve covered the Cthulhu Mythos, Middle-earth, Star Wars, The Elder Scrolls, Norse Mythology, Celtic Mythology, the SCP Universe, and Warhammer 40k, but I hope to continue doing this for many years.

Beren and Luthien on Amazon: http://amzn.to/2phXXNd

Of the stories that Tolkien wrote, I'd really like to see this one put on screen.

P.S. Finrod did have an epic music duel with Sauron before he was captured, but I decided to cut it.

Exploring Middle-Earth: Fëanor and the Silmarils Jun 18, 2020

Show notes

The Silmarillion on Amazon: http://amzn.to/2phrxme

I desperately wanted to use The Curse of Fëanor by Blind Guardian for the background music, but thought it might be distracting.

P.S. For some astute viewers, you might wonder why Beren, a man, could grab a Silmaril without being burned. There's some debate about this, with some thinking that the Silmarils are partly sentient, like the One Ring, and can choose not to burn.

The Children of Húrin on Amazon: http://amzn.to/2qoPoQL

Turin's story is heavily inspired by the Finnish tale of Kullervo.
