The Complete Travels of Glorfindel | Tolkien Explained

This is Nerd of the Rings, bringing you Messages from Middle Earth. Today they present: Glorfindel is not only a fan-favorite character, but also one of the most powerful elves to ever walk Middle-earth. Today, we cover his entire life - his birth in Valinor, his fatal fight against a balrog in Gondolin, and his reincarnation by the Valar. After he re-embodied, he is sent back to Second Age Middle-earth, as an emissary to help the elves of Eriador in their fight against Sauron. Eventually, we would meet him again as he helps Frodo get to Rivendell, and takes on five Ringwraiths single-handedly! *Hit subscribe - and the bell - so you never miss a video from Nerd of the Rings!* Nerd of the Rings on PATREON: https://www.patreon.com/NerdoftheRings -------------- All content falls under fair use: any copying of copyrighted material done for a limited and “transformative” purpose, such as to comment upon, criticize, or parody a copyrighted work.
