Fortresses, Strongholds, and Havens: Safe Havens
About this episode
This episode explores the concept of safe havens in Middle Earth, contrasting them with grand fortresses and strongholds.
Sometimes the strongest and safest places in Middle Earth aren't its grand towers and fortresses, but instead are hidden places, secluded woods, and the like. What makes these places special? How are they distinct from the fortresses where evil lurks and the strongholds of men?
