Part 8/9:

The Dead Marshes remain a profound reflection of the horrors of conflict and the consequences of division among the peoples of Middle-earth. With their roots deeply embedded in Tolkien’s own experiences and historical inspirations, these marshes serve not only as a backdrop for adventure but as a testament to sorrow, loss, and the echoes of the past that never truly fade. As we journey through these landscapes, we are reminded of the weight of history—illuminated by the flickering lights that suggest both memory and forgetfulness.
