The First Age saw the beginning of Men and the war between the Elves and Morgoth in Tolkien’s Middle-earth. This is a wonderful age full of great tales and wonderful mythology, but today we are going to cover the main parts of it in under 5 minutes! Enjoy and let me know your thoughts! Thanks so much for watching! As always, a great thanks to the online artists whose visual works made this video possible!
