What happened when the forces of Morgoth saw the sun for the first time? Where did all the Noldor go once they got to Middle Earth? How did it all end for that D*CK Feanor? We answer these questions and more in this History episode. We also go over a few of the Tolkien Hero workouts that I have been programming and putting on Instagram. Check it out and let us know what you think!

We have a special guest on this one! Jeffery Brown, member of the Swolhirrim since the beginning, sits down with us with the second part of Turin Turambar/Neithan/Mormagil/..... you get the point. First we talk all things CrossFit games and then dive right back into Turin just as he his coming into his own as Neithan the Wronged. We finish up this profile with a question that goes to the heart of this story, what is fated and what is destined? What do you think?

You read the title right PART 1! There is too much to talk about for just one episode. If you think you know tragedy, if you think you know Tolkien, if you think that Middle Earth doesn't have nudity, incest, suicide, and bloodlust, but you don't know the story of Turin you are in for a surprise! There is a reason that Turin is still one of my favorite characters of Middle Earth and we get INTO IT! 

We also talk about our Fitness journeys, what we are doing and even how fitness looks worldwide today.

Riders of Swolhan, today we get into our own fitness and goals that we are reaching towards before we jump back into what is going on in Middle Earth. We leave Feanor and talk about what is going on with the Sindarin elves, the crossing of the Helcaraxe and the plan of the Vala to help the children of Iluvatar. This story just keep getting better and better!

Hey Swolhirrim! We are talking about the original badass female character in the Tolkien Legendarium, Luthien. Daughter of an Elf that saw the light of the trees and a Maia! And just letting you know for the last time on the Cast we have some bad audio. I still didn't have the studio set up so it got a bit messed up sorry everyone!

Things are getting exciting, Elves are behaving badly, and the world as we know it is changing. If you think the first few chapters of the Silmarillion are boring don't worry this is where it all picks up! Tell your friends who also love themselves some Tolkien and Fitness!!

Carlos and I get into the history of the beginning of the end of the noontide of Valinor. Why is Feanor such a D*CK, you ask? Well we get into that as well. We agree that this is probably the most exciting piece of the early history of the Eldar.

Carlos and I try something new and split the location of this podcast up. It was a lot of fun to talk fitness in the car driving into the city and then picking up with Gollum back in the studio. 

Just like with Ariel talking about Galadriel, I come out of this discussion of Gollum with some different thoughts on the character.
