The Kin-strife (Gondorian Civil War) - Wars of the Legendarium

The Kin-strife was the Gondorian Civil War that happened in the mid-Third Age of Tolkien’s Middle-earth. Today, we discuss both sides of the conflict, as well as the war itself, as most told in the appendices of the Lord of the Rings. Thank you all so much for watching, let me know your thoughts about the Kin-strife 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!
