    Silmarillion Readthrough 2026 » Episode 24 » Chapter 20 » Of Beren and Lúthien (EP299 REVISITED)

    In the latest episode of our epic, chapter-by-chapter Silmarillion journey, we’ll explore Chapter 20, “Of the Fifth Battle: Nirnaeth Arnoediad” After Beren and Lúthien’s excellent adventure, what could possibly come next? Only a great battle brimming with bloodshed and “Unnumbered Tears” of course! First though, Tolkien provides a brief epilogue for Beren and Lúthien, giving them a happy ending, though, in true Tolkienian fashion, leaving Melian with a “grief of loss” heavier than anyone has ever known. With the exploits of Beren and Lúthien having demonstrated Morgoth’s vulnerabilities, the time seems ripe to press the attack, and that’s where the story of the Fifth Battle of Beleriand picks up.

    In the latest episode of our epic, chapter-by-chapter Silmarillion journey, we’ll explore Chapter 19, "Of Beren and Lúthien."

Simply put, this is one of Tolkien’s greatest stories, an epic romance that in many ways undergirds the entirety of the Middle-earth legendarium. Join us as we discuss!
