In the latest episode of our epic, chapter-by-chapter Silmarillion journey, we’ll explore Chapter 11, “Of the Sun and Moon and the Hiding of Valinor.” With the hurricane of catastrophes brought on by Morgoth’s murder of the Two Trees subsiding, the dust is settling, and the Valar have some decisions to make. Chapter 11 of The Silmarillion deals with the creation of the Sun and the Moon following the disasters in the Blessed Realm, as well as the hiding of Valinor from the peoples of Beleriand and all other lands.
