Fingon: How Friendship Became the Last Hope of the Elves

Описание: I look at Fingon the Valiant, one of the most courageous figures in Tolkien’s Legendarium.
In this video, I explore Fingon’s history and the events that brought him to Middle-earth before turning to his heroic rescue of Maedhros from Thangorodrim — a defining act of loyalty and mercy. What made this deed so remarkable, and why did Fingon risk everything for another? Finally, I discuss his fall in battle and why he truly earned his title: the Valiant.
