Doomsday and Dragons | Return of the Noldor, Part 2 | Episode 17

Tolkien sets out the pieces of Middle-earth's chess board, putting the characters in their proper places before the doomsday of Fëanor's unspoken realization bears down on all the players... and we get our first glimpse of a Middle-earth dragon!

In episode 17 of Window on the West, Michael, Dan, and Jonathan discuss the last sections of Chapter 13, dive deep into some AI-generated art in All that is Gold, and enjoy a blast from the past with the Lord of the Rings board game.
