After their respective ("final") defeats, Morgoth, Sauron and potentially Saruman never truly reentered the physical world of Arda… until perhaps the Dagor Dagorath. But what kept them out in the void? Today we will discuss the Walls of the World of Arda, the Door of Night and Gates of Morning! Thank you all so much for watching, let me know your thoughts about all of this in the comments below! As always, a great thanks to the online artists whose visual works made this video possible! If you are one of the artists, please let me know and I will post your name and a link to your work in this description!
