In this episode, we unravel the full story of King Thingol, also known as Elwë Singollo — the enigmatic Sindarin ruler of Doriath and one of the most influential Elves of the First Age. From his awakening at Cuiviénen, to his enchanted love for Melian the Maia, and the rise of the Hidden Kingdom of Doriath, we explore Thingol’s far-reaching impact on Middle-earth history. Discover his complicated ties to the House of Finwë, his role in the tragedy of the Silmarils, and the pride that would lead to his downfall. Whether you’re a lifelong Tolkien fan or a newcomer to The Silmarillion, this deep-dive is your ultimate guide to the life, legacy, and lore of one of Arda’s most fascinating kings
