Wizards and Warriors animated fantasy documentary lore video series on the world of Middle-Earth - Lord of the Rings continues with the second video on the First Age. We discuss the creation of the world of Tolkien, its powers and races and we see how and why the Elves became the enemies of the Dark Lord Melkor, who they called Morgoth, after their leader Fëanor cursed him for killing his father Finwë and stealing his prized possession - Silmarils (   • Beginning of the Age - Middle-Earth First ...  ), while this video will show the continuation of the events. In Middle-Earth, Morgoth attacks the Teleri Elves in Doriath and his allies starting the War of the Jewels with the First Battle of the Beleriand. Meanwhile, in the Valinor, the Noldor Elves of Feanor attack their Teleri relatives in the First Kinslaying. Afterwards, Feanor and his sons travel to the Middle-Earth to fight Morgoth and take the Silmarils, leading to the battles of Dagor-nuin-Giliath and Lammoth and the death of Feanor (   • Feanor Strikes Back - Middle-Earth First A...  ). In the aftermath the Noldor kingdoms rise in the Middle-Earth taking on Morgoth once again, this time at the battle of Dagor Aglareb, where Feanor's sons Fingolfin and Maedhros fought against the Dark Lord, while the humans - the House of Edain (   • Dagor Aglareb - Noldor's Victory - Middle-...  ) rose elswhere. The fourth episode will describe the battle of Dagor Bragollach and the rise of the father of Dragons Glaurung (   • Dagor Bragollach - Rise of Glaurung - Midd...  ). In the aftermath of the defeat the Elves and Men were on the back foot and the evil spread, but from those dark days, an Beren and Lúthien rose to challenge the darkness (   • Beren and Lúthien - Greatest Love Story of...  ), and defeated Morgoth (   • How Morgoth Was Defeated By Beren and Luth...  ). Their tragic love story inspired Maedhros to create his Union, which attacked the Dark Lord during the Nirnaeth Arnoediad - the battle of Unnumbered Tears (   • Nirnaeth Arnoediad - Battle of Unnumbered ...  ). As a result of the battle, many Men and Elf were made hostages, among them Húrin. In the first episode about Children of Húrin, we will talk about Morgoth's curse and the Rise of Húrin's son Túrin (   • Children of Húrin: Rise of Túrin - Middle-...  ), while the second episode covered the Fall of Nargothrond (   • Fall of Nargothrond - Children Of Hurin - ...  ). The third episode is going to set up the biggest tragedy in the world created by Tolkien, as Nienor has exited Dor-Lomin and her meeting with Turin is going to happen soon The third episode is going to set up the biggest tragedy in the world created by Tolkien, as Nienor has exited Dor-Lomin and her meeting with Turin is going to happen soon (   • Biggest Tragedy In the Middle-Earth Approa...  ). In the fourth and final episode in the mini-series on the Children of Hurin, the tragedy is complete - Turin and Nienor are dead, and so is Glaurung (   • Children of Hurin - Tragedy Complete - Mid...  ). After their death, the Dark Lord finally released Hurin. His return would only worsen the situation for the free peoples (   • Fate of Hurin - Curse of the Dwarf - Middl...  ) and they would continue fighting each other for the Silmarils and power, leading to the Second Kinslaying and the Fall of Doriath (   • Fall of Doriath and Second Kinslaying - Mi...  ). In the aftermath, another great story, that of Tuor started, and with it a New Hope was born (   • New Hope - Rise of Tuor - Middle-Earth Lor...  ), however his coming to the last great free city - Gondolin, roused jealousy of some of the denizens and the city was betrayed to Morgoth as a result (   • Gondolin Betrayed - Middle-Earth History L...  ), and fell to the Dark Lord.
