The Silmarillion, a prelude to The Lord of the Rings, delves into the earlier history of Middle-earth, recounting the events of the First and Second Ages and introducing some of the pivotal characters, including Galadriel, Elrond, Elendil, and the Dark Lord, Sauron. Set in a time when Morgoth, the first Dark Lord, reigned over Middle-earth, the High Elves engaged in a war against him to reclaim the Silmarils, the jewels that held the pure light of Valinor. Within the recording, there are several shorter works, such as The Ainulindalë, which explores the Creation myth, and the Valaquenta, which provides a detailed description of the nature and powers of each of the gods. Additionally, The Akallabêth narrates the downfall of the great island kingdom of Númenor at the end of the Second Age, while Of the Rings of Power recounts the significant events that transpired at the end of the Third Age, as depicted in The Lord of the Rings. This captivating and comprehensive unabridged recording is brought to life by the talented actor, director, and author, Andy Serkis.
