Eärendil the Mariner: Hope and Star | JRR Tolkien’s The Silmarillion | 031

The closing chapter of the First Age of Middle-earth centers on Ëarendil, the great mariner, and his wife Elwing as they embark on a perilous journey to Valinor to plead for the salvation of both Elves and Men. Their voyage marks the fulfillment of a prophetic vision foretold by Ëarendil’s grandfather, a prophecy that foretold the rise of hope and a new star in the sky. Discover how Ëarendil’s sacrifice and his journey across the heavens lead to a pivotal moment in Middle-earth’s history, bringing the promise of light and redemption at a time when all seemed lost. This is the story that sets the stage for the dawn of the Second Age and the eventual rise of the Free Peoples against darkness.
