The Tolkien Road

Our 2025 Silmarillion journey continues with Chapter 16 of Quenta Silmarillion - Of Maeglin.“Of Maeglin” represents a shift in the style of The Silmarillion. While we had previously been dealing in something like a chronicle of the various Elves in Beleriand, with this chapter the scope becomes much narrower, and we focus in on the story of Aredhel, the sister of Turgon, and on the hidden city of Gondolin. “Of Maeglin” is one of the book’s first chapters that really works well as a tale unto itself, although it of course bears significant relation to the rest of The Silmarillion as well.Silm Guide Link: https://www.tolkienroad.com/silmguide/sg19/To support our work here, please visit Patreon.com/TolkienRoad.Enjoy!OTHER LINKS:Video of this episode: https://youtu.be/JPgoqAi8qFQWatch AD-FREE: https://www.patreon.com/posts/129223324Listen AD-FREE: https://www.patreon.com/posts/67649410Buy Tolkien Road merch @ True Myths PressBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-tolkien-road--52
