Summary
Set sail with us in this Patron-exclusive deep dive as we explore one of Tolkien’s most underrated yet emotionally layered tales: Aldarion and Erendis from Unfinished Tales. In this episode, we break down the journey of Aldarion — prince, mariner, and conflicted heir to Númenor — as he navigates the treacherous waters of duty, love, and obsession with the sea.
We also provide you guys with a bit of quick council (hope you enjoy it) ~ Just had to catch up! Life has been quite the adventure!
