The Wars of Beleriand
Elven realms, human allies, Morgoth's armies, fortress systems, major battles, and the long defeat of the First Age.
Planned
Standalone Lorecast
MIDDLE-EARTH
A Military History of the Wars of Arda
The great wars, alliances, sieges, commanders, and political transformations of the First, Second, and Third Ages.
Campaign-plan briefing
THIS LORECAST HAS ITS OWN FRONT.
This future archive will treat the wars of Arda as a continuous military history, examining the rise and fall of kingdoms, the organization of armies, the strategic importance of fortresses and terrain, and the recurring coalitions formed against overwhelming power.
Planned historical coverage
THE QUESTIONS THIS LORECAST WILL FOLLOW.
The first season will stand as a complete history. Additional seasons can be added later without moving the universe into another feed.
Númenor and the Second Age
Maritime power, colonization, imperial expansion, Sauron's return, and the War of the Last Alliance.
The Realms in Exile
Arnor, Gondor, frontier defense, succession, fragmentation, and the long military containment of Mordor.
The Peoples of Middle-earth
Elves, Dwarves, Men, Orcs, cavalry, fortifications, logistics, and the military strengths of different societies.
The War of the Ring
Coalition strategy, diversion, siege, intelligence, irregular action, and the campaign to destroy the One Ring.
Power, Memory, and Decline
How ancient victories, inherited institutions, fading populations, and political memory shaped later war.
Flexible by design
ONE IDENTITY. AS MANY SEASONS AS THE HISTORY SUPPORTS.
A lorecast does not need ten seasons to be complete. A focused 25-episode season can provide a full military history, while later productions, books, games, or newly developed research can justify another season without reorganizing the site or asking listeners to find a different feed.
- 10 seasons × 25 episodes
- Current planning scope
- No fixed maximum
- Future expansion rule
