Peace! Just kidding! Tori is introduced to Aredhel the White Lady of the Noldor, who is going through her angsty teenage rebellion stage. She sneaks away to meet up with *gasp* BOYS. And then get's married. And then has an elf kid. And then runs away with her kid. And then baby-daddy finds her. And THEN *spoiler spoiler spoiler*. (I swear Tolkien writes better reality TV than TLC. -Tori)

The "sun" rises and so do humans! In this episode humans awake and Fëanor meets his match (in a very anticlimactic way?!). Tori really thought nothing could stop him but alas, everyone is a little bit mortal.

From Tori: This episode gets messy!!! Fëanor is on a mission to take back his precious Silmarils and won't let anything stop him and uhhh.....everyone dies. Ok, not everyone. But like, practically everyone. This episode blew my mind.

Two truths and a lie! Which of these quotes are not from this episode? "Maybe it's Maybelline, maybe I'm just obsessed with the Star Queen", "They're the reality tv of the elves", "They're Hannah Montana-ing it"...We swear this is a Tolkien-based podcast.
