Join us for an in-depth discussion as we explore "Of the Coming of Men Into the West", the 17th chapter of JRR Tolkien's The Silmarillion. Learn about the early ancestors of Aragorn, Boromir, Faramir, and other Men of the West!

EXECUTIVE PRODUCERS » Kaitlyn of Tea with Tolkien, John R, Jacob Lockham, John H, Scotchy Bobo

In Chapter 17, we learn of how the first Men came into Beleriand, of their interactions with the Elves already living there, and of Melkor’s response to their coming.

QUOTE OF THE WEEK » "‘A darkness lies behind us,’ Bëor said; ‘and we have turned our backs upon it, and we do not desire to return thither even in thought. Westwards our hearts have been turned, and we believe that there we shall find Light.’"
