In this episode:

We have a pop quiz on the elves (a Faygo quiz, to be honest)

We see the only known union of an elf and a divine being: Thingol and Melian

We are introduced to the Grey Elves and the Elves of the Falas (and their lord Círdan, oldest elf in Middle Earth at the time of ‘The Lord of the Rings’)

We see for the first time the tree that is the ancestor of the White Tree of Gondor

We get some juicy genealogy (the word must be sung!) and we offer more tips and tricks for keeping track of all the names in Tolkien

We’re introduced to one of the Silmarillion’s main characters, Fëanor, the creator of the Silmarils, the palantíri (the seeing stones from ‘The Lord of the Rings’ that Pippin gets a hold of) and the guy who invented the script you see engraved on the One Ring.

And finally, Melkor’s prison sentence ends. Surely nothing bad is coming.
