Ainulindale and Valaquenta
Secrets of Middle Earth
Tolkien's Silmarillion begins with the Ainulindale and Valaquenta and so Thomas Salerno, Jeff Haecker, and Patrick Mason begin the first part of a conversation about these two stories, on Middle Earth's creation, the balance of good and evil, immortality and free will, and more. The post Ainulindale and Valaquenta appeared first on StarQuest Media.
