If the One Ring and Silmarils were so important, why weren’t more created? Today we will explore this question, and why these artifacts could and would never be replicated in Tolkien’s Middle-earth. Thank you all so much for watching, let me know your thoughts on the replication of the One Ring and Silmarils in the comments below! As always, a great thanks to the online artists whose visual works made this video possible! If you are one of the artists, please let me know and I will post your name and a link to your work in this description!
