Serving as a precursor to The Lord of the Rings, The Silmarillion delves into the earlier chronicles of Middle-earth, highlighting occurrences from the First and Second Ages. It introduces pivotal figures like Galadriel, Elrond, Elendil, and the ominous Dark Lord, Sauron.
During the times depicted in The Silmarillion, Morgoth, the inaugural Dark Lord, ruled Middle-earth. The High Elves waged battles against him, aiming to reclaim the Silmarils, radiant jewels embodying the pristine luminescence of Valinor.
The compilation also embraces a selection of shorter narratives. The Ainulindalë narrates the world's creation myth, while the Valaquenta outlines the characteristics and might of the deities. The Akallabêth chronicles the demise of Númenor's grand insular realm in the concluding moments of the Second Age. Additionally, Of the Rings of Power illuminates the monumental events concluding the Third Age, as portrayed in The Lord of the Rings.
100%! Did that last year. I would recommend also listening to the Silmarillion on audio, such a poetic book. Tolkien was a very Shakespearian writer in his style.
