In the latest episode of our epic, chapter-by-chapter Silmarillion journey, we’ll explore Chapter 12, “Of Men.” 
Chapter 12 is exactly what it sounds like: the origin story of the Younger Children of Ilúvatar, the race of poor mortals known as Atani, or Men.

In this episode, we’ll explore the events attributed to the year 2251 of the Second Age.
Included among these events is the origin and rise of the Ring-wraiths, Sauron’s notorious NINE!
We’ll see how the increasing Númenorean anxiety towards death served to create a spiritual environment that led to the seduction and “creation” of the Nazgûl.

In this episode, we consider the reign of Tar-Atanamir, the 13th ruler of Númenor. Atanamir’s reign was of major consequence for the people of Númenor, as his longing for immortality began to sow the seeds of discontent, restlessness, and malice toward the Eldar,  the Valar, and ultimately Ilúvatar Himself.

In the latest episode of our epic, chapter-by-chapter Silmarillion journey, we’ll explore Chapter 10, “Of the Sindar.” 
In Chapter 10, the perspective shifts from the Blessed Realm to Beleriand, where it will remain for the rest of The Silmarillion. We jump back to where we left Beleriand - at the point when the Vanyar, Noldor, and Teleri all departed, leaving behind some of their brethren, who become known as the Sindar, and take the Teleri Lord Elwë as their King, and the Maia Melian as their Queen.
