Welcome to "A Drunk History of Middle-earth," the podcast where we explore the fantastical world of J.R.R. Tolkien's Middle-earth through the lens of alcohol. I'm your host Chris, joined by my lovely wife Rebecca, and in this episode, we're diving into the creation of Arda and the arrival of Tulkas.
As we raise a glass and get into the spirit of things, we'll discuss the role of the Valar in shaping the world of Middle-earth, specifically focusing on the arrival of Tulkas, the champion of the Valar known for his physical strength and prowess in battle, and what that means for Melkor (he runs).
We'll explore the creation of the world during the Spring of Arda, including the shaping of the mountains, seas, and lands, and the establishment of the Two Lamps that illuminated the world before they were destroyed by the treachery of Melkor.
We'll bring this fascinating chapter of Middle-earth history to life, sharing our favorite moments and insights into the creation of Arda and the arrival of Tulkas.
So join us for a fun and informative journey through Middle-earth, and discover the magic and wonder of Tolkien's beloved world in a whole new way. Cheers!
