    The Fall of Númenor » Pt 1 » Intro and Overview
    Sep 1 2025
    We’re bringing back one of our most popular journeys: our series on The Fall of Númenor! If you’ve ever been curious about the rise and tragic downfall of Tolkien’s greatest kingdom — and how it ties into the Rings of Power and the epic drama of the Second Age — you won’t want to miss this.
    And here’s the really exciting part: I’ve got a brand-new book on the way, Tolkien’s Tragedy: Concerning Númenor, The Rings of Power, and the Second Age. It’s the culmination of years of study, and I believe it’ll change the way you look at Tolkien’s legendarium.
    If you’re enjoying this series, make sure you head over to tolkienroad.substack.com and subscribe.

    That’s where you’ll get early chapters of Tolkien’s Tragedy and all the behind-the-scenes insights I only share with my readers.
    Alright — let’s dive into Númenor’s epic story, and rediscover why it remains one of the most haunting legends Tolkien ever wrote.

    0397 » Introducing Tolkien’s Tragedy: My New Book on Númenor & the Second Age
    Aug 25 2025
    Hey there, fellow travelers! I’ve got some exciting news: my new book Tolkien’s Tragedy: Concerning Númenor, The Rings of Power, and the Second Age is finally here.
    This has been years in the making. In fact, when I first started outlining it, Amazon’s Rings of Power series hadn’t even been announced. Now we’re two seasons in, and I think this book offers insights that are more timely than ever.
    The full text is almost finished, but I’m still deciding on the best way to publish it. For now, I’m sharing it chapter by chapter over on my new Substack — that’s TolkienRoad.Substack.com. You can read the introduction and first chapter for free, and if you’d like to go deeper, you can get the rest with a Patreon or Substack membership.
    What you’re about to hear is the introduction to Tolkien’s Tragedy. I can’t wait to share it with you, and I’d love to hear your thoughts.
    So, head over to TolkienRoad.Substack.com to follow along — and now, let’s dive in!

  • Silmarillion 2025 » Of the Rings of Power and the Third Age

    Silmarillion 2025 » Of the Rings of Power and the Third Age
    Aug 18 2025
    Our 2025 Silmarillion journey concludes with Of the Rings of Power and the Third Age!
    The last chapter of The Silmarillion is a synoptic account of the Second and Third Ages which focuses upon the legends of the Rings of Power, all the way through the events of the late Third Age depicted in The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings. It's something like a 50,000 foot view of the whole mass of Middle-earth's history after the First Age, right on through the story of Frodo and the Fellowship.
