S1.E6 Breakdown of #TheRingsOfPower 🧵
This episode was very explosive. Not much #Tolkien to breakdown but very fun all the same.
Theory: This is Sauron's gauntlet. Adar claimed it as a trophy.

NEW LIFE
Adar plants some alfirin seeds and says a prayer before battle.
Quenya: `Vinya coivië... na vírië...`
English: "New awakening... To life..."

1. `My children, we have endured much...`
Adar's plans laid bare:
S1.E4— `That [the Southlanders] may live if [they] forsake all claim to these lands and swear fealty to him.`
S1.E5— `And soon [the sun] will be gone. And with it, the part of me that knew its warmth as well.`

Dear #Tolkien Fans,
It's hard to see the vision with which #TheRingsofPower is using the source material (#LOTR/#Silmarillion) to make visual/dramatic art.
But I say we ought to treat the source text with some skepticism as well. (1/5)

Tolkien was brilliant at writing Epics. It's why we love his works!
However, you are not giving Tolkien enough credit (as a global thinker) if you don't see that he wrote his works from the pov of certain characters that carry implicit biases; him included.

#LOTR— Written from the pov of Hobbits. Hobbits who were considered the least of the races of Middle-earth; they also saw themselves as less compared to others.
Why wouldn't they write Elrond as one of the most flawless/most wise/most honest Elf they've ever met?

We have lost the greatest mind in the dynamic world of #Tolkien Scholarship. Like his Father he was an intellectual giant who poured his entire life into those monumental works.
Never was the adage more true: He was a GENTLEMAN and a SCHOLAR.
A memory.

Born in Leeds in late 1924 - he studied at the Dragon 🐉 School at an early age, connecting him later to his Father’s beloved Oxford. He served in the Royal Air Force; continuing a family legacy of military service. He is pictured twice here as the littlest one on the right.

What an experience for him! Listening to his Dad spin marvelous stories of Bilbo, Thorin and Gandalf! 🧙🏼♂️
His teenage years enriched by giving feedback during the lengthy 15-16 years of writing #LOTR.
Can you imagine BEING THERE at his Father’s desk for that?! #GeekHeaven

Hoy ha surgido una pregunta sobre el nombre del caballo de #Aragorn. Nos ha hecho recordar los #Tolkienfacts que hicimos hace mucho tiempo sobre tan nobles animales en la #TierraMedia, así que queremos revivirlos.
Por cierto, el de Aragorn se llama Roheryn.

"Los caballos que montaban [los montaraces] eran vigorosos y de estampa arrogante, pero hirsutos de crines; y uno de ellos no tenía jinete: el corcel de #Aragorn, que habían traido del Norte, y que respondía al nombre de Roheryn" (LSDLA, libro V) #Tolkienfacts
Obtenemos más información sobre Roheryn, el caballo de #Aragorn, en el apéndice sobre #Quenya y #Sindarin de El #silmarillion, donde se nos indica que significa 'Caballo de la señora', ya que se trata de un regalo de la Dama #Arwen.

Gergely Nagy on “#Tolkien Remembering Tolkien: Textual Memory in the 1977 Silmarillion” #s227 #imc2018 @IMC_Leeds
Nagy: the 1977 Silmarillion as a “textual field” - it was accused of reducing the multiplicity of the variants that #Tolkien created. #s227 #imc2018 @IMC_Leeds
Nagy: the making of the Silmarils - the diction around Feanor’s actions changed subtly throughout the different versions. Christopher Tolkien seems to have been attuned to the sounds of language when choosing between versions. #s227 #imc2018 @IMC_Leeds
