01/11/2021 Duración: 01h55minNote: Stream ends abruptly at 1:55:08 Title: The Awakening: The Whole Story Week 5: Fixing the chronology of the Tale of Years leads to just enough room to fit in all the worldbuilding necessary for the Children to arrive, be discovered, and start the Great Migration.

11/10/2021 Duración: 01h51minGrowth and Change Week 3: We start with a dice roll for the fundraiser appreciation drawing, and then jump right in to the math. How long was elven gestation? And how long did it take for an elven family to recover and want a second child? Or a third? The math for this is meaningful. It sets the foundation for all that will come after. Like how elves experience time, why only male elves made it into the spotlight (really?), how intensely elves invest themselves in their work, among other delights.

Tonight we wonder if invisible elves are still out there. And how old is Cirdan? And has Galadriel gone through Elfopause yet? And what does Glorfindel remember of his first time around? And we find that Elves are burdened with memory but completely in control of their will and actions. Even in expressing their 4 loves.
