π Plot Summary
Long before the One Ring, before Sauronβs rise, there was Morgoth β the original dark power who plunged the world into chaos. The Silmarillion (2025) adapts Tolkienβs mythic tales of the First Age, a time when Elves were gods among mortals, and the world was shaped by the wills of Valar and monsters.
At the heart of it all lie the Silmarils β radiant jewels forged by the Elf-lord FΓ«anor, holding the light of the Two Trees of Valinor. Their theft by Morgoth triggers a catastrophic war that tears across Middle-earth. Elves, Men, Dwarves, and Valar collide in a tale of betrayal, love, vengeance, and destiny.
Witness the Fall of NΓΊmenor, the tragic romance of Beren and LΓΊthien, the bravery of HΓΊrinβs children, and the burning wrath of the Valar β all culminating in a war that reshapes the world itself.
