The Rise and Fall of Elendil, Isildur & Anárion Gondor’s First Kings | Lord of the Rings Compilation

The Broken Sword 2025-07-27 | Before Aragorn... before Gondor’s decline... there were three great kings who stood against the darkness: Elendil, the faithful Númenórean exile; Isildur, the heir who took the Ring; and Anárion, the brother lost to fire and war.
In this epic compilation, we explore the full story of their rise, their victories against Sauron, and their tragic legacy. From the fall of Númenor to the founding of Gondor and the Last Alliance, this is the forgotten history behind the legends, and the bloodline that would shape Middle-earth forever.

Sauron Wasn’t Always Evil?! #Shorts

The Broken Sword 2025-07-25 | Did you know, Sauron Wasn’t Always Evil?
Before the Rings, before the Eye…
Sauron was once known as Mairon, a Maia of order and beauty.
He joined Morgoth not for chaos, but for control.
And when he walked among the Elves as Annatar, he nearly conquered Middle-earth with a smile.

This is the form Sauron lost forever.

Sauron’s Most Powerful Form... And Why He Abandoned It Forever

The Broken Sword 2025-07-20 | Sauron didn’t start as a dark lord. He once walked among the Elves in a beautiful form — known as Annatar, the Lord of Gifts — deceiving even the wisest with charm and lies. This form allowed him to nearly conquer Middle-earth without war. But after the fall of Númenor, Sauron lost the ability to ever take that shape again. In this video, we explore every form Sauron ever took — from his origins as Mairon, to Annatar, to the Eye of Sauron — and reveal why his most powerful form was lost forever… and how that changed the fate of Middle-earth.

Flying to Mordor? Here’s Another Reason Why That Wouldn’t Work 🤔 #Shorts

The Broken Sword 2025-06-14 | Flying to Mordor? Here’s Why That Wouldn’t Work

Flying to Mordor sounds smart… until you remember Sauron had eyes on the skies.
Nazgûl flew. The Ring corrupted. And stealth was the only way to win.
🧙‍♂️ Tolkien didn’t forget — he wrote it that way on purpose.

🦅 Why Not Fly The Eagles?! #Shorts

The Broken Sword 2025-06-12 | They weren’t taxis. They weren’t tools. The Great Eagles were holy messengers of the Valar, not Middle-earth’s air force.
Tolkien said they were “a dangerous machine” that had to be used sparingly.
So no — they couldn’t just fly the Ring to Mordor.

If Amazon Cancelled The Wheel of Time… Is The Rings of Power Next?!

The Broken Sword 2025-05-27 | Amazon has officially cancelled The Wheel of Time after Season 3—despite the show finally gaining critical acclaim. In this video, I break down why it was cancelled, what it says about Amazon’s approach to fantasy TV, and why fans of The Rings of Power should be paying close attention. Could Tolkien’s series be next on the chopping block? I explore the signs, compare the two shows, and share my thoughts on what this means for the future of high-budget fantasy storytelling. Whether you're a fan of Robert Jordan or J.R.R. Tolkien, this is a conversation worth having.

The Full History of the Dúnedain: From Númenor to Aragorn

The Broken Sword 2025-05-25 | Discover the full history of the Dúnedain—the descendants of Númenor and the forgotten guardians of the North. From Elendil and Isildur to the Chieftains of the Rangers and Aragorn himself, this video traces their rise, their downfall, and their enduring legacy. Learn how the Dúnedain shaped the fate of Middle-earth from the shadows in this deep-dive into Tolkien’s most overlooked heroes.

Who were the Dúnedain?
What happened after the fall of Arnor?
Why did Aragorn walk the wilds as a Ranger, and not rule from a throne?

In today’s video, we explore the complete story of the Dúnedain—starting from their origins in Númenor, through their survival after the Downfall, and into the wilderness of Eriador where they protected the Free Peoples in secret. This is the untold history of the Northern Rangers, the lost kingdom of Arnor, and the quiet nobility that passed through the line of Isildur to Aragorn Elessar.

Whether you’re a long-time Tolkien reader or someone who only knows the movies, this is one story you’ll want to hear.

You Misunderstand Orcs | Beyond Redemption or Just Misunderstood?

The Broken Sword 2025-04-20 | Were Tolkien’s Orcs Truly Evil… or Could They Be Redeemed? In this deep-dive video, we explore one of the most controversial questions in The Lord of the Rings lore: did the Orcs of Middle-earth have the potential for redemption? Drawing directly from the writings of J.R.R. Tolkien—including The Silmarillion, The Letters of Tolkien, and The Lord of the Rings—we break down their origins, the role of Morgoth and Sauron in their corruption, and the moral dilemma Tolkien himself wrestled with regarding their fate. Were they once Elves? Were they capable of free will? Could they be saved after Sauron's fall? Join us as we uncover the full truth behind one of Middle-earth’s darkest creations.

How Would A Youtuber Write The War of the Rohirrim Movie?

The Broken Sword 2024-12-21 | I felt a little let down by The War of the Rohirrim, so it is fair to say I have said about some parts that I was not impressed by with it. So, I thought it was only fair I tried to at least pitch how I would have done the story of Helm Hammerhand myself!

(I'm definitely not saying I'm a better writer than any professionals, but I thought this would still be a bit of fun!)

I hope you all enjoy!
