The Tolkien Road

This chapter continues the story of Aldarion, destined to be Númenor’s 6th King. While it begins with the wedding, long-expected, of Aldarion and Erendis, it concludes with many events unexpected, including word from Gil-galad to the King of Númenor regarding “ a new shadow arising in the East”.This is a long chapter dense with nuance and character development, perhaps the richest glimpse we get into the various psyches of Númenoreans as individuals, and while I’d love to give it a much more in depth reading, I’m only going to hit the high points as regards this history of Númenor.However, if you’d like a more in-depth discussion of this story between me and Greta, please check out the notes, or just go back and find episodes 183, 185, 186, and 187.WATCH ON YOUTUBE » https://youtu.be/Ega_4eoLio4DISCUSSION EPISODES ON THE MARINER'S WIFE / ALDARION & ERENDIS:EP183: https://youtu.be/Ey76ckHwROEEP185: https://youtu.be/l83a6Idacg4EP186: https://youtu.be/NgcX2-QOmSIEP187: https://youtu.be/8HzR-raLIjc HELPFUL LI
