Arnor was, unfortunately, weaker than Gondor centuries after its founding, and this weakness led to its collapse. Why was this so? Today, we’ll find an answer! Thank you all so much for watching, let me know your thoughts 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!
