  • The Silmarillion: Chapter Seven: Of the Silmarils and the Unrest of the Noldor

    The Silmarillion: Chapter Seven: Of the Silmarils and the Unrest of the Noldor
    Mar 9 2026

    Another Silly Silmarillion Solo venture- but this time, it's Lane battling the dimming light of his very own eyesight and the unrest of his mind (undiagnosed ADHD), as we all wait to see- can he actually navigate us through a chapter without the guidance of the Flannel Wizard? Only you will decide!

    Creation. Contrivance. Corruption. Chapter Seven has it all, as Fëanor, son of Finwë, greatest Elven Smith of all time creates the Silmarils to honour the height of elvendom only to proceed in falling victim to the machinations of Melkor. At least he's not alone, right? For unrest and discord now indeed sours all Valinor.

    As mentioned in this episode, check out Wyrd Leather and Mead and support Travis' incredible business and their move to a PNW Castle! https://www.spotfund.com/story/3921642c-2a84-4579-9541-dd76d57cbeff

  • The Silmarillion: Chapter Five: Of Eldamar and the Princes of the Eldalië

    The Silmarillion: Chapter Five: Of Eldamar and the Princes of the Eldalië
    Feb 22 2026

    Before the wars, before the Silmarils, before the exile… there was Eldamar.

    In this episode, we step into the Blessed Realm itself — the shining lands of the Elves beneath the light of the Two Trees. But beneath the beauty, Tolkien quietly plants the seeds of one of the greatest tragedies in all of Middle-earth.
