Wizards and Warriors animated fantasy documentary lore video series on the world of Middle-Earth - Lord of the Rings continues with the longform video on the First Age, as we talk about the Rise of Morgoth. In this video we discussed the creation of the world of Tolkien, its powers and races and we see how and why the Elves became the enemies of the Dark Lord Melkor, who they called Morgoth, after their leader Fëanor cursed him for killing his father Finwë and stealing his prized possession - Silmarils. We see how the evil first rose in the world of Arda and will talk about Ungoliant and other evils, about the Valar and Maiar, about the Elves and their sub-groups - Vanyar, Ñoldor, Teleri, and Avari. In Middle-Earth, Morgoth attacks the Teleri Elves in Doriath under Thingol and his allies Cirdan and Denethor starting the War of the Jewels with the First Battle of the Beleriand. Meanwhile, in the Valinor, the Noldor Elves of Feanor attack their Teleri relatives in the First Kinslaying in order to take their ships. Afterwards, Feanor and his sons travel to the Middle-Earth in order to fight Morgoth and take the Silmarils, leading to the battles of Dagor-nuin-Giliath and Lammoth and the death of Feanor. We show the aftermath of the death of Feanor, as the Noldor kingdoms rise in the Middle-Earth taking on Morgoth once again, this time at the battle of Dagor Aglareb, where Feanor's sons Fingolfin and Maedhros, and others fought against the Dark Lord and we also talked about the rise of the humans - the House of Edain. We will describe the battle of Dagor Bragollach and the rise of the father of Dragons Glaurung. In the aftermath of the defeat at the hands of Morgoth, the Elves and Men were on the back foot and the evil spread in the Middle-Earth, but from those dark days, an unlikely pair rose to challenge the darkness - Beren and Lúthien and defeated Morgoth. Their tragic love story inspired Maedhros to create his Union, which attacked the Dark Lord during the Nirnaeth Arnoediad - the battle of Unnumbered Tears [ • Rise of Morgoth - Midd... ], while the episode on the fall of Morgoth will describe Morgoth's curse and the Rise of Húrin's son Túrin, Fall of Nargothrond, Nienor and her meeting with Turin and the biggest tragedy of Tolkien, as Turin and Nienor died and so did Glaurung. After their death, the Dark Lord finally released Hurin, leadgin fighting each other for the Silmarils and power, the Second Kinslaying and the Fall of Doriath. In the aftermath another great story, that of Tuor started, and with it a New Hope was born however his coming to the last great free city - Gondolin, roused jealousy of some of the denizens and the city was betrayed to Morgoth as a result and fell to the Dark Lord, leading to the War of Wrath and the fall of Morgoth by the other Valar

YOU SLAY guys😊😊😊😊😊
Meh 😑
Hey, when y'all gonna release that Fraggle Rock lore video?
We need a video of origin of palantír
All that was needed to defeat Morgoth was a host from Vala which they could have done at the very beginning. What makes all middle dramas point less lol
And Morgoth was never so powerful or anything that many could beat him, so calling him almighty powerful dark lord was kind of lame.
You can tell Tolkien was a Professor of Literature. This story sounded just like the stories in Greek, Indian and Chinese Mythology that I read at University. Tolkien did exactly what he said. Made a Mythology for his people, the Saxons of England.
The Saxons had plenty of germanic myths and legends. Especially since Tolkien was either inspired by or directly copied some of the names and stories.
@@Emanon... Show me one fantasy author who wasn't....
It wasn't for the Saxons, but the English (what the Saxons morphed into) - my people. England had been invaded tons of times in the previous millennium and our myths and culture ravaged and destroyed, so this was something to partially fill the void.
Imagine if he could see his beloved England now
easterners lol
If Morgoth had been less goth. We would never have come to this.
He needed ppl like you around him. All he had were yes men. Smh
He couldn’t have been goth because he wasn’t wallowing in melancholy
🥇
@@michaelsmyth3935😂😂
So Lesgoth?
Sauron: Fine. I'll do it myself.
Did Sauron ever intend to continue Morgoth's work of destroying everything, or did he just co-opt his master's remnants for his own time in the spotlight of ruling Middle Earth.
Also, good on the Edain for getting that island of Numenor. I forsee nothing but long life, purity, and dry lands for them in the future. No siree, no bad ends them whatsoever.
As far I as know Sauron is about controlling life, and Morgoth is about destroying life. Considering this Sauron would not continue Morgoth's work since his motives are different
@@basszoneproduction Precisely. Morgoth wanted to corrupt and/or destroy everything simply to spite Eru and the Valar.
Sauron was obsessed with order and perfection, and he only joined Morgoth because he believed that Morgoth's power would be used for that.
>Watches the War of the Ring series.
Oh boy, this will be a bumpy ride.
@@lisboahI'm not sure how accurate it is to say that Morgoth wanted to destroy everything. Morgoth wanted to create as Eru created but, not being Eru, the best he could do was 'corrupt' the work of the Valar (he technically could not corrupt the work of Eru, for all that Morgoth was came from Eru and was thus part of Eru's design, much to Morgoth's annoyance). Rather than destroy everything, I think Morgoth wanted to remake the world to his own design. This meant that he needed to subjugate all who would oppose his vision, mainly the Valar, and thus, because the Valar oversaw the creation of much of the world, he sought to unmake or corrupt their works to force them to submit.
I recall he kept building shrines to Morgoth and convincing men to worship him long after, so he was propably still loyal in some ways.
I love how every fight with a Balrog ends with both parties being pulled off a ledge
Honestly those people must be commended. I take one look at it, I'm hightailing it out of there😅
Well, that's like the best case outcome
The other possibility is that it just smashes your head in
Morgoth Defeated
(Sauron): ”Fine. I’II do it myself.”
This is the BEST content creator I've ever found on CZcams. Not only here on Wizards and Warriors but also on Kings and Generals alike... ...
I thought I recognized Devin's voice....
There the same youtubers
Knew that voice straight away 😊
I will always remember first reading the Silmarillion and being blown away by the War of Wrath, it felt like such an epic culmination with Morgoth finally being overthrown.
I knew nothing about the first age, and neither am I the biggest LOTR nerd, but I was at the edge of my seat throughout this entire video, this was bloody amazing, and makes me want to get into more Middle-Earth lore now. 10/10 job, this was awesome!
" One to the Seas, One to the Skies, and One to the Earth, restless and warped, it's story not yet complete. "
Beautifully animated, narrated and produced. I've not seen this covered with original artwork and put together like this anywhere on the internet, let alone CZcams. Well done!
This series was so awesome. I spent last winter reading the Silmarilian and the Book of Lost Tales, so I really appreciate you covering the First Age. I'm looking forward to seeing you cover the Second Age!
I dont understand. The second age was covered in this channel Right? . Is a remake?
Also puzzled since the War of the Last Alliance was already covered. Unless theyre gonna go through some of the stuff that was only briefly touched upon like War of the Elves and Sauron with the fall of Eregion?
There is actually only one comprehensive tale from the Second Age "Aldarion and Erendis: The Mariner's Wife" from "Unfinished Tales."
The story follows Aldarion, heir apparent of the King of Númenor, and tumultuous relationship with his wife Erendis; which clashed with his love of the sea and long voyages.
I think hes referring to a multiple hour video not a 15 minute summary. So far theres only rise and fall of morgoth
You thought Gandalf was cool; Ecthelion killed 3 dragons and 2 balrogs in one battle.. holy crap..
Poor Melian. Poor Dortiath. Tolkien said it was via the love between Melian and Thingol that she was empowered beyond her ken, able to then effect physical reality in a way she never could before, thus able to cast and channel the Girdle. Similarly to how Manwë and Varda empower each other. With the death of Melian's husband, she lost the better part of her magic and her anchor to Middle-earth, it was impossible to maintain the barrier and an agony to remain.
Maybe they reunited in Valinor? Unless maybe Thingol is stuck in the halls of Mandos.
@@myriadmediamusings most assuredly, it's been many thousands of years since then. It is still sad thinking that, if things were different, the population of Doriath wouldn't have been massacred if Melian were able to stay and maintain the barrier. Then again, one could argue the child of Dior needed to get in contact with the child of Tour at the refugee camp to produce Earendil who would bring the Valar to take Morgoth down...so the death of Doriath probably had to happen then as Morgoth would have ultimately been able to overpower Melian anyway.
When I read the book, I took a slightly different view.
Selfishly, after the death of Thingol, she just quit immediately and vamoosed back to Valinor. She ditched her people, leaving them defenceless when they needed her most.
@@michaelhart7569welp to be honest thez eere never truly her people she eas there for turgon and ainur are kinda detached from all other races, anyway grief in this world especially for more spiritual beings like elves and even more so ainur has much bigger impact a bunch of elves just straight up die over grief of their spouses death and its likely she simply didnt have power to maintain the barrier and her grief just drove her to valinor
@@michaelhart7569i feel like she attached herself to middle-earth, magnifying her power there, through her love of Thingol as Sauron did with the Rings, or Morgoth did with middle-earth itself. Without him there, she just didn’t have the will or purpose or attachment to remain.
This series is amazing, thank you for all your efforts as I love seeing how the maps are affected by events
Better and more effort put in than Amazon’s rings of power lol.
Valar: I guess there is no more things to worry about. I mean who could even replace Melkor as the chief troublemaker ?
Sauron: Allow me to introduce myself
Keep it in mind that the Valar never bothered looking for neither Sauron nor the Balrogs *twice* . And this ended up bringing ruin to Middle-Earth both times.
@@lisboah And dont forget Smaug.
@@cgt3704 And the other dragons, and the orcs, trolls, and other creatures.
For real, the Valar may be good, but they are so lazy and naive that it vexes me.
@@lisboahexcept Manwe allow to use the eagles helping the free peoples and maybe he only use his power the wind to vanquish the evil characters death. Ulmo is the only one holding the the sea to provide middle earth agriculture and environments for free peoples, and Mandos is probably doing like hades work.
In the Battle of the Powers, there was an effective search for Sauron, but well, it's Sauron. He knew Angband better than anyone, and combined with the rush the Valar were in, they ended up being negligent.
This proved to be an act of incompetence indeed, as Sauron rebuilt Angband and began producing Orcs on a large scale. He also managed to concentrate the Sindar in two poles, while the others had to hide to avoid being massacred. In fact, the Sindar were not defeated only because the Noldor arrived, since if we consider that the Orcs of Battle-under-Stars were originally destined for the Sindar, that is, the army of the First Battle was just a wave of a larger army. The Falathrim and Círdan would probably be dead and Doriath would be surrounded and isolated, this was all planned by Sauron for when the Lord returned, ironically they lacked communication, as Morgoth ruined this plan due to his actions in Valinor.
Glorfindel survived the sack of gondolin, he would go on to reside with Rivendell even in the third age. It was glorfindel, not Arwen, who rescued Frodo from the Nazgul and brought him to Imladris
He was reincarnated but yes
@nohbuddy1 reincarnated??? Clearly I am missing something
When elves die they go to halls of mandos where over time they regain bodies and basically revive and rejoin other elves in valinor (unless ur heinous criminal) tho they are never allowed to leave again nor do they really want to, glorfindel was the only elf to be sent back to middle earth by valar on a task
@@michaelevans5634yeah he doesn’t survive the fall of gondolin. He is leading a retreat over the mountain and dies killing a balrog but the Valar bring him back
I always wondered why Jackson chose this substitution. Unnecessary romantic subplot based on Beren and Luthien I guuueeessss but it’s annoying.
What a tremendous creation. The time and effort it took must be acknowledged with the highest honors. J.R.R is smiling and relighting his pipe in great delight.
Feels like a video is missing before this compilation should come out
Sounds like majority of the first age's problems could be avoided if you went for your opponents' mouth; all the curses wrought upon the people especially in the dying breath simply avoided if you go for the mouth
Excluding Glaurung and Morgoth's curse since im not sure how you gonna stop those 2 from speaking
Lol
@@MrEmerchuaHurin mocked Morgoth,and paid the price.
These comprehensive lore videos are my favorite thing on CZcams. You've done a fantastic job and hope you continue
The Silmarillion, if handled correctly, would be an amazing series. Too bad it’s adaptation today would bastardize all the hard work Tolkien put into it. I accept this series of videos as a worthy substitute.
I respect that you guys used the Silmarillion version of Gil-Galad's parentage, but Christopher Tolkien said that it's an editorial error, and Ereinion Gil-Galad is Orodreth's son.
So it begins... the retribution long awaited upon fell Melkor!
Too bad that the Valar only decided to do it after Beleriand was already in ruins.
"Oh, but they didn't want to cause damage to Middle-Earth", well they did it anyway. Beleriand sank to the bottom of the ocean! Had they done this centuries earlier, at least the death toll would have been much lower.
@@lisboahthe Noldor and their arrogance brought pain and sorrow upon themselves
Thats not true the wanted to avenge finwe first king of the noldor and retake the silmarils from the killer of finwe and the lover of the spider un goliant
It was there right to be angry 😡
@@00martoneniris86 angry to Morgoth not to the Valar
YES YES YES! MORE TOLKIEN!!!
This has got to be the best adaptation of the tales of the 1st age of middle earth.
Finally we have the conclusion of the First Age of Middle-Earth, with the story of Eärendil & Elwing, the War of Wrath, the descruction of Beleriand and the reimprisionment of Morgoth.
Ashame The Tale of Eärendil did not have a specific final version, like The Children of Húrin. JRR Tolkien had so such much to do, that he'd never had time to complete.
I hope more videos from W&W for the conclusion of Warhammer fantasy End Times and Mongol alt history. Also the continuation of the Horus Heresy, Thrawn campaign and Wheel of Time.
Again I always recommend using anime as source for more fantasy and sci-fi worlds to cover.
I can not wait for the Second Age videos! I also hope you do some of the first part of the Third Age, and complete your excellent series on Middle Earth!
Great work!
A great follow-up to their great summary of the rise of Morgoth a few months back! THANK YOU! 😊
Brilliant! Truly did a superb job with the maps, omg I love your maps and lay out of the lands and events. Very informative too. You brought the story alive and I thank you very much for sharing your passion and dedication in what you do.
Really great stuff with these Morgoth videos. Took it to that next level most fans want. CZcams stuff on this is always too short
This is so impressive. I love the way you laid out the whole story and I love this art style. One of my new favorite channels of all time. Thank you!
1 minute gang. Excellent upload, one of my favorite parts of the Silmarillion.
I've been waiting for this ever since this channel was made and it's finally here. Thank you for the experience
So happy you are going to continue with the 2nd age!
So basically the Vanyar elves went for a walk in Middle Earth, destroyed the entire subcontinent, got turned-off from mingling with low class elves, then went back in Valinor
The war of wrath is basically a soirée
Not just the Vanyar, but also the Noldor that stayed in Valinor, surviving Edain, the Great Eagles and some Maiar and Valar. Headed by Manwë's herald Eönwë.
It is,they just went on a long hike. Killing as they went. There were at least 200,000 Vanyar alone, the strongest of Elves.
@@c.antoniojohnson7114
If Helldivers 2 can be modded, the War of Wrath would be perfect. Imagine a squad of Vanyar elves being carried by an eagle to drop down a section of Beleriand and liberate the area from orcs, trolls, wolves, bats, and dragons
@@Byenie0912 I would so play that,been wanting a epic open world middle earth game based in the 1st and 2nd ages.
This is absolutely amazing. I can not stress how much work this must have taken. I will have to listen to this multiple times.
I really want you guys to do some anime wars, the idea of seeing someone narrating one piece and Naruto battles with a serious voice just sounds too great to me
Always felt the conflicts seen in the Universal Century timeline of Gundam wouldve been perfect for this channel.
You know I also recommend anime, including Naruto. Though I never thought about One Piece, on its surface it appears over the top wacky and cartoony. Yet under the surface, there is a complex depth and history on a huge scale.
Can you imagine how W&W would animate the setpiece battles? From Arabasta to Enies Lobby, Thriller Bark, Marineford, Dressrosa and recently Onigashima. They just get more crazy and over-the-top as we go along. Yet I wouldn't mind seeing them take a try.
@@myriadmediamusings I think it was you or someone else whom also recommended Legend of the Galactic Heroes. I only first heard about in comment sections.
Though I would like to see the Gundam mecha battles covered by W&W.
Fullmetal alchemist's battles would be interesting using this format.
Turin being the death of more of his loved ones than the enemy is very Shakespearean
That was awesome, it is really nice to see an overview map showing all of the different stories weaving together and how the various characters affect each other.
We know it takes a lot of time and hard work to make these videos. So we always appreciate your hard work to make these videos. Love from Sri Lankan fan of you. ❤❤
Only an elf could look at a glowingly bejeweled necklace and think -
"Needs a big jewel."
Elves are worse than rappers when it comes to jewelry. I could imagine Thingol being so drippy if he was in this age.
Morgoth had battled the noldor and the whole elven kin longer than he had battled the edain yet the ones who came under the most cruel of his works was the line of hurin a line who loved the elves as much as they loved their kin. If Tolkien had finished his Dagor dagorath it wouldve been cannon that turin would be the one to finish morgoth once and for all 😢.
If ever I get a cat I'm going to call it Gothmog
Fitting
The best Channel on CZcams😁👍. BRAVO!! 👏😁!! Thank you for the well put together storytelling. PLEASE KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK 🙏
Any gift from Morgoth comes with a TOS.
Fantastic.
I watched both rise and fall back to back, and 4 hours went by in a bliss. Can't wait for the 2 and age
The children of Hurin brings me to tears every time
Dude. Nice freaking job. Can’t imagine the amount of work put into this. Soooo good
Excellent work on this video, great summary of the End of the First Age and beginning of a new 😎👍
Watched it in one go.
Amazing work 👏 😊
all the effort that goes into these videos is much appreciated
Amazing, I really enjoy the history of middle earth, and this makes it even better.
Amazing work from you guys!
Woot second age can't wait. Thanks for the first age video ... Enjoyed it .
awesome work as ever guys
Amazing content as always
You guys are amazing! Please return to the mongols! Cant wait to See more of them😊😊😊😊😊
Wow! This is impressive work!
Oh my God, I missed this at 8 in the morning while at work and I'm subbed to the channel.
Amazing work brother thank you.
Been waiting for this
Why no distinct video for the finale?
They usually rap up the final chapter in the compilation videos, possibly because the regular videos were having low viewing numbers.
This is just my speculation.
Amazing work!
Nice work dude thanks
Its so glorious. Silmarillion the best of the best.
The Nalgamir.....so icy it brings death and the sons of Fëanor.
Fantastic work!
Best video I've watched in a long while!!!
I’ve never seen a video of yours that wasn’t based in the elder scrolls. This is just as great as all your others.
Oh Sh!t it's kings and generals doing my favourite books, Tolkien lore and middle earth! Glorious!
This Tolkien fan greatly appreciates the effort that goes into these Middle-earth documentaries. Cheers, guys.
This channel is an indespensible part of my entertainment needs.
At long last, I have the time to watch it. A wonderful video! An age of Heroes, and Sacrifice has come to an end! Thank you! It was a great video and thanks for making it! The War of Wrath was epic beyond imagining!
I hate to spoil this excellent video but I must to give Tolkien justice.
1. Earendil was already going to Valinor before the Kinslaying. Without the light of the silmaril, he was lost. But you were right he did feel a rush of fear and a desire to return home to see his wife.
2. You were mistaken about the reason Elwing did not give up the Silmaril. The reason why she did not give it up was because she believed it did not belong to the House of Fanor. She believed it belonged to her family because of the sacrifices they made to obtain it. I believe she grew up with her grandparent and they told her their story.
anyway, it was an excellent video!
This was great thank you 🙂
Gandalf is taking off his hat to this video.
Great series!
god, I love your content. Another 2 hours of pure LOTR historygasm
35:00 take my advice, what could go wrong....
40:00 Morwen, what if she had stayed put to begin with?
Best video so far ❤
This is flipping amazing. ALL the blessings on you, your marriage, and your family!
1:46:06 that convention is why starcrafts protoss say "En taro Adun/Tassadar" cool little space elf crossover
I really enjoyed watching this series. Can't wait for the Second Age!
Did you release this video all at once? Or was it a compilation of existing videos? I don't remember this series.
This is a compilation of their videos on the Children of Hurin and Fall of Gondolin while also containing their look at the War of Wrath and the end of the First Age.
The Children of Hurin makes me depressed. So much tragedy and death for a man whose fate was out of his hands. So much hurt wrought by pride.
God. Damn. I never need to read the Silmarillion again!
Outstanding videos!
An interesting note that the elves of the first age seemed more human-like with good and bad sides.
Loved this series.
Awesome art!
Excellent documentary
are you gonna release the last chapter of this as a stand alone episode? or at least put chapters in this one please
Imagine headbutting a balrog to death
Thanks!
Even if we never get a movie or tv show based on the first age, imagine an open world video game done right based on the wars in beliriand.
Video game industry would do it justice.
Great telling (though I’m only an hour through so far). I’ve read the Silmarillion twice and its a lite to digest but this is very well done
lol, Turin keeps being like Ill put aside by my big name and then rename himself “death master,” then “master of doom,” and then “death stain” and then “blood helm.”
Well done!
Hehe, "Morgoth's vile taint."
beautiful storytelling and graphics thank you God bless!
