The Tolkien Road

A podcast about Middle-earth and all things Tolkien.

0208 – LOTR – History of the Third Age – Part 6: 2770 – 2941

Exiled by Smaug, the dwarves of Erebor wander Middle-earth, seeking out a new home, yet new perils and vicious foes meet them wherever they turn. Meanwhile, Saruman convinces the White Council to delay an assault on Dol Guldur, and future heroes are born in the forgotten lands of the northwest. Joins us, as we continue our exploration of the key events of the Third Age!

EPISODE OUTLINE

On this episode, we’re discussing the events spanning TA2770 – TA2941. With Smaug’s coming to Erebor, the dwarves are without a home, and struggling to find their place in the world. The events of these 200 years lead up to the events of The Hobbit, and important things happen for Rohan and Gondor in this period as well.

With Erebor restored, things are looking up for the free peoples of Middle-earth for the first time in many years. Next time, we’ll take a look at the events spanning the years between The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings.
