Elves in the third age - Soft ethereal harp music Elves in the first age - DEATH METAL

The might of the elves was at its peak during the first age, it’s a shame by the third age they were a shadow of them for former selves. Thanks wizards and Warriors 👍

Nothing beats 10000 Gondolindrim marching towards the Nirnaeth

11:09 One thing that may have helped with the elves tactical superiority when it came to clear lines of communication is that the Noldor likely had a number of Palantiri, since it's heavily implied they were crafted by Fëanor himself. If the Noldor also gave a handful of these to their allies, it would've mean the greater elven allied army would've had an absolutely staggering advantage over their enemies in terms of coordination as they would've been able to communicate in real time

As a follower of your channel for many years now I must say your delving into the fantasy world of Tolkien & especially the world of ice and fire… I can’t thank you enough
-
They were not kidding when they said that the Elves of the 3rd age were spent, thanks for another great video
-
Thanks for that! Nothing like a little trip to Middle Earth on a Saturday morning to start off the weekend right.
-
Fun fact that it was Morgoth who was instrumental in teaching the Noldor in forging such weapons. It came to bite him bad in the form of Ringil the sword of Fingolfin, who in one last defiant blow channeling all his fea in his cold blade maimed the Dark Lord...causing him to forget fighting at the front again.

This is quickly becoming my favorite channel on all things fictional.
-
An interesting and well made video. Of course since the War of Wrath lasted 40 years (according to some writings of Tolkien), that was enough time to learn a lot about fighting. However I guess the initial battles will have cost the Elves dearly, as well as the nasty surprises Morgoth did prepare for them during the war.

Whoa was expecting the 2nd age conclusion , but this is also equally great, and it would be neat to see series on the ME societies and military makeup as the counterpart to your previous vids on the ME economy.
-
Dude, the styles of your videos are just incredible. Love your channel and your work
-
This video dropped perfectly as I'm finishing up a full Lotr rewatch, you sure know when to drop 'em!
-
Nice analysis! Its admirable how you are able to come up with so much detail, based on relatively little source material. I think this all makes a lot of sense, very educated guesses indeed. Also I like how Tolkien's books have become so big that LotR-lore has actually become a fully fledged research-field with scholars that can be referenced and stuff
-
Thanks For this Guys! Perfect way to end the week
-
Everything yall make is so good! Thanks for the hard work
-

-
