  • Summary

  • Hey there, fellow travellers!
    Our 2025 Silmarillion journey continues with Chapter 1 of Quenta Silmarillion - Of the Beginning of Days.
    Just to be clear, "Quenta Silmarillion" means "The History of the Silmarils". While Tolkien intended "Ainulindalë" and "Valaquenta" to be essentially standalone works, Quenta Silmarillion encompasses the next 24 chapters.
    Over the next several months, we'll be revisiting the entire 30-episode Silmarillion series that Greta and I recorded back in 2022.
    And while you're listening, check out SilmGuide.com for guides to individual chapters.
    Chapter 1 - Of the Beginning of Days tells of the First War of Arda, the creation of the two Great Lamps by the Valar, and the malicious actions of Melkor, the fallen Ainu and chief villain of Quenta Silmarillion.
