It's a little sad that we spent 34 episodes in the 1st age, but the 2nd age only gets 2 😱...

We finish up the AkallabĂȘth this week talking about religion in NĂșmenor, if the Valar gave up governing Arda (and for how long), if men of NĂșmenor are addicted to the light of Valinor, and if the Rings of Power got ANYTHING right!

Join us in our extended episode where we discuss if chasing the idea of "freedom" simply leads to more evil, if Ar Pharazon thought Sauron was evil or just a rival, and how many generations of ents there might be.
