Finrod Felagund | Hero of the First Age

The Heroes of the First Age series continues with a look at Finrod the Faithful. I discuss his origins, his history in the first age, and focus on all he did to fulfil an oath of everlasting friendship. What made this figure so special? Finrod the teacher, scholar, builder, explorer, and keeper of oaths. ► Chapters: 0:00 - Intro 0:48 - Etymology 2:07 - Family Tree 4:43 - The Builder 6:00 - The Explorer 7:39 - The Teacher & Scholar 8:39 - The Wars of Beleriand 10:52 - An Oath to Barahir 13:52 - Finrod's Honour 15:35 - A Song of Power (Narrated) 18:36 - Courage Against a Curse 20:27 - Fulfilling an Oath 22:19 - Finrod: Hero of the First Age 24:36 - Artist Credit & Outro ► Support the Channel: Support the channel through Patreon - https://www.patreon.com/TheRedBook Support the channel through YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCPOz2P0OxWp0ij0K4BsLsRw/join View Members-only Videos - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=UUMOPOz2P0OxWp0ij0K4BsLsRw ► Supporters: Patricia, Dovid Nachson Albright, Moses Gunn, ncv1993, Oliver Falangan, Seraphim38, Victus Schmmidtt, Douglas Harley, Ian Haydel, Joe Raffurty, Master of Dungeons, TB, Adam Dallas29, Carden, Carson Miller, Catherine G White, Connor Mulders, David Lafferty, Ess Jay Dubs, Jim Loughlin, Molly Barger, Nima, Ryan H, Sko, VoxPhantom, InconceivableDreamer234, boi sophies ► On-Screen Notes: Not included ► Artwork: All artists, images, and links to sources are found by following the link below.
