In Chapter 10, the perspective shifts from the Blessed Realm to Beleriand, where it will remain for the rest of The Silmarillion. We jump back to where we left Beleriand - at the point when the Vanyar, Noldor, and Teleri all departed, leaving behind some of their brethren, who become known as the Sindar, and take the Teleri Lord Elwë as their King, and the Maia Melian as their Queen.

In Chapter 10, we’ll learn:
- Of the Sindar, the brethren of the Teleri that remained behind in Beleriand.
- Of the creation of Menegroth, the grand palace of the Sindarin King Thingol
- Of the coming of the Dwarves to Beleriand
- Of the Nandorin Elves
- Of the return of Melkor to Middle-earth and the first great battle of Beleriand
- And much more!

QUOTE OF THE WEEK: “But of bliss and glad life there is little to be said, before it ends; as works fair and wonderful, while still they endure for eyes to see, are their own record, and only when they are in peril or broken for ever do they pass into song.” - Chapter 10 of The Silmarillion
