Video Description

Before Barad-dûr and Angband, there was Utumno—Melkor's first and most terrifying stronghold. But what was actually inside it? In this deep dive, we explore Tolkien’s darkest creation: from the Balrog barracks and dragon forges to time-warping chambers and the Vaults of the Void. Using canon from The Silmarillion and Unfinished Tales, along with logical speculation, we uncover one of the most terrifying places in all of Middle-earth. Music “The Ancient” by SamuelFJohanns.
