About this episode

The episode explores Chapter 22 of the Silmarillion, focusing on the tragic events surrounding Húrin and the kingdom of Doriath.

In the latest episode of our epic, chapter-by-chapter Silmarillion journey, we’ll explore Chapter 22, “Of the Ruin of Doriath” After the devastating tragedies of Chapter 21, we get…more devastating tragedies! Chapter 22 picks up with Húrin, now old and worn out by Morgoth’s tortures. Set free to wander aimlessly in the wasted regions of Beleriand, he inadvertently sets in motion a series of events that will lead to end of the kingdom of Doriath, once the hidden heart of Beleriand’s free regions.
