It's cool af.

[@cafeequinox2074]

I sometimes listen to this as I'm going to sleep and that part wakes me up. Same with the voice Martin Shaw does for Ungoliant. "BLACK HEART."

[@johns1625]

@@cafeequinox2074 lol I have woken up at that part before. THESE JEWELS FROM FORMENOS THEE SHALL FEED ME. YEA, WITH BOTH HANDS. 😆🙌

​@johns1625 lol its creepy AF. That voice coming from an enormous evil being but calling something worse "black heart"

The conversation concerning the oath between Maglor and Maedhros is great writing.

Eärendil is basically the most important man in Middle-Earth. Tolkien's Jesus.

Please, would you expand?

​@@JB-mb1roJesus is said to come again bearing the armaments of heaven to defeat evil for good, as Earendil did.

[@ishmaelforester9825]

@@johns1625 It's Feanor the Elves prophesized would come again. They said he would return at the last battle to redeem himself in the final defeat of evil (a Christ archetype). Erandil achieved a victory but ultimately 'fruitless' as Elrond says.

Are you correcting the literal book itself? 😂

[@JCO2002]

Great, thanks. But, really - it all seems a bit unlikely. Almost like it's fantasy ;-).

[@zed_di_dragon952]

is this part of the game your making?

That's a book you can listen to. It's not so bad.
