Burn the Ships (and ignore The Rings of Power) | Of the Flight of the Noldor | Episode 12

We tackle one of our favorite chapters in The Silmarillion: "Of the Flight of the Noldor". Finally the ill choices of Fëanor are brought to bear as we watch the grievous opening to a long tale that inevitably leads to "unnumbered tears".

Join Jonathan, Michael, and Dan as they continue to test their Tolkien aptitude with "All that is gold does not glitter", and find out what might be Tolkien's best book--outside of The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit!
