Hey everyone! New Masters of Mythology video on how Dwarves transformed from crafters to warriors across mythology to fiction (and the answer has a lot to do with Tolkien!). Enjoy! youtu.be/HpWiHG_WNBQ

Hey everyone, happy Sunday! Today we are talking about religion inside Middle-earth. How did people pray to Eru (or did they)? Let’s dive in! youtu.be/7bKII-42F9c

Another trip around the sun complete for me in this Middle-earth! I am thankful for so much in life including you all! Thank you, my fellow Men of the West! Here’s to many more years of adventure! Turning 27, so I have a few more years as a tween left in the eyes of Hobbits!

Happy Sunday, my friends! Today, we are exploring WHY the Lord of the Rings is named for the villain, Sauron, rather than the heroes or anything else! Let’s dive in! youtu.be/wLjaxPCBToc

🚨Prime Video is committed to complete all 5 seasons of ‘The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power’. Spin-offs are unlikely due to high production costs. Reviewed by new Head of Global TV Peter Friedlander who visited the set in London. Via @TheAnkler

@Red52161 That is fair. It is also stated that they replicate in the manner of the Children of Eru, so that does give perhaps a bit more agency/life to them in a sense. Yet, they are clearly commanded by the greater and more evil force of Melkor and Sauron than by their own free will.

@Yoystan While I do agree this is several bridges too far, Orcs do seem to have a little more agency than a zombie or demon. For example Shagrat and Gorbag discuss the war, complain about their bosses, and share dreams of setting up their own independent, bandit-like operation.

@AngryMeow42 It is also suggested that Elves' spirits (fëar) could leave their bodies (hröar) after undergoing exceptional physical duress. I imagine the process of becoming an Orc would constitute that.

@AngryMeow42 Tolkien's version: "by slow arts of cruelty were corrupted and enslaved; and thus did Melkor breed the hideous race of the Orcs in envy and mockery of the Elves, of whom they were afterwards the bitterest foes." -Silmarillion
