Folks, join us as Isildur feels a great burden taken away just before he's pierced by arrows.

As we wrap up our two-episode look at the Disaster of the Gladden Fields from Unfinished Tales.

It has been an absolute pleasure looking at this in a long-form way, having only really looked.

I mean, it's delightful.

You learn so much about Isildur that...

that we really don't get anywhere else.

It's been delightful.

100%.

It's a lot of fun.

Yeah.

Folks, no matter whether you came to Middle Earth through the books, the films, the TV show, or something else, each of you is welcome here in our common room.

The Prancing Pony podcast continues in our 10th season of reading and talking our way through Middle Earth with conversations, digressions, and even speculations.

No doubt.

Not to mention a few puns and bad jokes here and there, but our purpose is to dive deep into the lore, to discuss the story, our favorite characters and themes, Tolkien's inspirations, and a whole lot more.

And while we can say that we take the work seriously, the same cannot be said for ourselves.

We are just a couple of friends chatting at a pub, making Batman jokes, and we're very glad that you have joined us.

And I'm sure you'll be glad you joined as well.

But before we get to today's chapter discussion, it's time for us to catch up with one of our listeners in the North Wing.

Now, rooms at the North Wing are a little hard to come by, so only our patrons at the Elrond's Honorarium and Círdan's Contribution Tiers are eligible.

If you'd like to be one of the next patrons to join us, be sure to check out patreon.com slash prancingponypod.
