Elven Settlements in the First Age

Many were the great Elven settlements of the First Age, from Gondolin, to Nargothrond, to Doriath, and many others as well! Concerning these realms of the Elder Days, Tolkien’s Silmarillion tells their stories, and we discuss them here today! Thank you all so much for watching, let me know your thoughts about these Elven settlements 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!
