]]> Sara and James join Alan as the new co-hosts of The Rings of Power Wrap-up, just in time to spend hours discussing the two-episode premiere of the Amazon adaptation! From the destruction of little Galadriel’s paper boat (we see you, sons of Fëanor!) to her waking up next to a strange man on a raft, we cover it all. Loremasters, not gatekeepers, we talk about what’s great, what’s not, and what’s next!

]]> We conclude our series of foundational episodes with a couple of, uh, shorter entries. First up, a deep dive into what we know of the history of the Harfoots (and other Hobbit folk) in Middle-earth, a people of much greater diversity than you might think. After that, a rundown of Tolkien’s changing views on the origins and nature of the Orcs, plus their history through the First and Second Ages before the big – in more ways than one – finale on Trolls and Balrogs!
