In episode 4 of our epic, chapter-by-chapter Silmarillion journey, we’ll explore the first half of Chapter 1, “Of The Beginning of Days”.
LINKS:
This chapter concludes the era of Aldarion, one of the most important kings in the history of Númenor. As we learned in the last episode, his father, Tar-Meneldur, chose to turn the rule of Númenor over to Aldarion earlier than was normal, due to a letter from the Elven High-King Gil-galad. asking for Númenor’s aid amidst the increasingly dire situation in Middle-earth. In this chapter, we’ll explore Aldarion’s reign, as well as what becomes of his wife Erendis and daughter Ancalimë.
As with our last few episodes, this is a longer chapter than most of the Fall of Númenor chapters, so we’ll only be hitting the high points.
However, if you’d like a more in-depth discussion of the tale of Aldarion and Erendis, to include Greta’s perspective, please check out the notes, or just go back and find episodes 183, 185, 186, and 187.

Tolkien was born on January 3, 1892, so given we are in his birth month, we’ll be revisiting our four-part series on his life story over the next few Fridays.
In this episode, we’ll revisit part three, as we examine the years from 1937 to 1949, as Tolkien struggles to surpass The Hobbit with a far more ambitious sequel while enduring the uncertainties of World War II in Great Britain.
