This final chapter of The Silmarillion is really something completely separate from the rest of the book: an Age-spanning synopsis of the events leading up to and including The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings. With this chapter, Tolkien connects the legends of The Silmarillion with the events of The Lord of the Rings, and we learn a great deal of the historical background to Tolkien’s magnum opus. Join us!

QUOTE OF THE WEEK

from Christopher Tolkien's Foreword to The Silmarillion...

"[Akallabêth and Of the Rings of Power and the Third Age] are included according to my father’s explicit intention, and by their inclusion the entire history is set forth from the Music of the Ainur in which the world began to the passing of the Ringbearers from the Havens of Mithlond at the end of the Third Age."
