Good evening, Little Masters, and welcome to episode 421 of the Prancing Pony podcast, where many of the faithful of that time believed some really unusual things.
Like the Lord of the Mark was the last appearance of Orme himself? Maybe. Maybe. Folks, pull up a bench in the common room and join us. I'm Sean Marchese, the real-life Lord of the Mark, and I'm here with the man of the West who will not descend from the mountain until DoorDash brings him something to eat. Mm-hmm.
Dagor Dagorath, Dordash. I mean, it's a little confusing, you know? Folks, join us as we learn more about Gandalf and get some alliterative verse as a bonus as we conclude our three-episode look at the chapter on the Istari in Unfinished Tales. And I guess before we move any further, Sean, we need to clarify, it is Istari, isn't it?
Yes, it is Istari. We were corrected. Corrected sounds so bad. I'm going to edit that. We were assisted. We were assisted. We were reminded by the esteemed Mr. Christopher Gilson, editor of Parmel de Lamberon, that the stress actually goes on the first syllable. So we've been saying Istari for... Since I've said it since like 1991, but it is actually Easter.
We call that time immemorial is what we call that. Yeah, exactly. It's because the A is a short vowel. And I think that was my problem. I always got it mixed up with the Palantiri.
But that actually has the accent mark over. That has the accent mark.
And Easter does not. So it is Easter, not Easter.
Yes. All right.
Yes. So it's an Easter and Easter.
All right. And with that out of the way, folks, no matter whether you came to Middle Earth through the books, the films, the TV show or something else, each and every one of you is welcome here in our common room.
