The Tolkien Road

A podcast about Middle-earth and all things Tolkien.

0274 » Valaquenta 2022 » Silmarillion » Valar, Maiar, Melkor, Sauron, Gandalf

In episode 274, we explore Valaquenta, the pantheon of Middle-earth’s gods!

“Valaquenta” introduces us to the Valar, the Maiar, and the main Enemies of Middle-earth. We get to know a few about figures like Manwë, Varda, Ulmo, and Yavanna, and this really helps when you’re diving into The Silmarillion.

QUOTE OF THE WEEK

“The cycles should be linked to a majestic whole, and yet leave scope for other minds and hands, wielding paint and music and drama. Absurd.”

– JRR Tolkien, 1951 (The Waldman Letter)
