The One Ring, Arkenstone, and Silmarils Play Similar Roles - Building a World

In the Lord of the Rings, the Hobbit, and the Silmarillion, the respective plots of these narratives are driven by plot-devices: the One Ring, the Arkenstone, and the Silmarils. Today, we discuss how these items play similar roles as we further our discussion about Tolkien’s works and his worldbuilding. As always, a great thanks to the online artists whose visual works made this video possible! If you are one of the artists, please let me know and I will post your name and a link to your work in this description!
