    Following on from last week's episode, Turin is now living in Doriath as the foster son of King Thingol, but fate or his bad personality has made him an enemy in Saeros, advisor to the King. Their feud will boil over, and Turin will go on the run, living as an outlaw in the Wild, until his friend Beleg Strongbow finds him and talks some sense into him (but not much).

    What is the History of Rohan?
    May 25 2026

    Upon their trusty steeds, the Rohirrim charge into battle, crying "Death" as the speed towards their foes! The charge at the fields of Pelennor is one of the most striking moments in all of the Lord of the Rings, and their alliance with Gondor turned the tide in the War of the Ring. But who are these strange Northerners? How did the come to be so bonded with their horses? And is Eowyn, shieldmaiden of the House of Eorl, unique, or one in a long line of fearsome female warriors? Find out on this week's episode!
