In this first of three parts, we look at Morgoth's origins as Melkor, the mightiest Vala created by Ilúvatar, who rebels in the creation of the world and goes on to wreak havoc upon the Valar, the world, and its elf, man, and dwarf inhabitants. Today, we cover everything from his discord during the Music of the Ainur to his destruction of the Two Trees with the giant spider Ungoliant...
In part two, the vala Melkor as he seeks to conquer Middle-earth! We will track from his early moves against the elves through the Nirnaeth Arnoediad - The Battle of Unnumbered Tears. Along the way, Morgoth creates the dragons, faces the High King Fingolfin in single combat, and has a theft for the Silmarils by Beren and Luthien...
Morgoth Part 3! The epic conclusion to the tale of the original Dark Lord of Middle-earth! In today's video, we pick up with Húrin, captured during the Nirnaeth Arnoediad, as he and his family are cursed by Morgoth. The Dark Lord presses his advantage, seeking to destroy the realms of Falas, Doriath, and the hidden city of Gondolin. Eventually, Eärendil , the father of Elrond and Elros, comes to Aman to beg the valar for their intervention - resulting in the War of Wrath and the largest battle Middle-earth will ever see.
