The First Sunrise (long before The Rings of Power) | Of the Sun and Moon | Episode 14

In "Of the Sun and Moon and the Hiding of Valinor", Tolkien taps into a grander myth of Middle-earth and returns to the two trees of Valinor to explain how the sun and moon were made.

Join Jonathan, Michael, and Dan as they talk Chapter 11 of The Silmarillion, and once again test their Tolkien (and Rings of Power) aptitude with "All that is gold does not glitter"!
