Of Morgoth and Ungoliant: Darkening of Valinor | Silmarillion Documentary

Video Description

In this episode of the Silmarillion documentaries, we delve into the Darkening of Valinor, a pivotal event in the Tolkien legendarium. Join us as we explore the intricate themes surrounding the death of the Two Trees of Valinor, the alliance between Morgoth and the monstrous spider, Ungoliant, and the introduction of the legendary character, Fëanor, maker of the silmarils. We witness how Melkor's sowing of discord among the Noldor led to his eventual alliance with Ungoliant, who aided him in infiltrating Valinor, where they both wreaked havoc. Ungoliant drained the light from the Two Trees and the Wells of Varda, leaving only the Silmarils of Fëanor to contain the last remnants of light in the world. As we follow the story, we see how Fëanor's refusal to surrender the Silmarils to revive the Two Trees led to a rebellion against the Valar, and the theft of the Silmarils by Morgoth and Ungoliant. This event sets in motion a chain of events that will shape the fate of Middle-earth for centuries to come. So join us as we uncover the mysteries and explore the themes of the Darkening of Valinor, an event that will leave an indelible mark on the world of Arda.
