The Sundered Age

Welcome to The Sundered Age. Every question about Middle-earth has a simple answer. We ignore the simple answer. We dig into the lore that Tolkien buried in appendices, letters, and unfinished texts and ask the questions the films never had time for. The history behind the history. The cost behind the victory. The truth behind the legend. This is not a channel for summaries. It is a channel for arguments. Every video has a thesis, and you are welcome to disagree with it in the comments. Subscribe and join the debate. The Sundered Age is waiting.
