We all know the stories of the north and west in Middleearth, but what of the lands and peoples off the eastern and southern sides of the map? Thank you all so much for watching, let me know your thoughts on this lore 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!
