Alan and Shawn begin yet another trilogy of episodes \u2014 this time on The Silmarillion Chapter 21, \u201cOf T\xfarin Turambar.\u201d The son of H\xfarin of Dor-l\xf3min is fostered by the King of Doriath, but an awkward dinner party drives him to a life among outlaws. Fleeing from his own fate, he manages to bring disaster wherever he goes, and he\u2019s headed to Nargothrond next. We give an overview of the history of the story Tolkien called the \u201cgerm\u201d of his mythology and \u2014 surprise! \u2014 we quote Monty Python.
