    Silmarillion Readthrough 2026 » Episode 13 » Chapter 10 » Of the Sindar (EP289 REVISITED)
    Apr 1 2026
    In the latest episode of our epic, chapter-by-chapter Silmarillion journey, we’ll explore Chapter 10, “Of the Sindar.”
    In Chapter 10, the perspective shifts from the Blessed Realm to Beleriand, where it will remain for the rest of The Silmarillion. We jump back to where we left Beleriand - at the point when the Vanyar, Noldor, and Teleri all departed, leaving behind some of their brethren, who become known as the Sindar, and take the Teleri Lord Elwë as their King, and the Maia Melian as their Queen.
