Summary
"If you are a hero- go with the dawn,
And turn your word into reality.
Take the northern road, to the Kingdom of Darkness,
And return with a Silmaril..."Two different fates are woven together when Lúthien, an elven princess, falls in love with Beren, a hero of mortal men. To win her hand, Beren is sent on an impossible quest- to cut a legendary gem from the crown of the Dark Lord. So begins this battle between light and darkness, love and duty, in the most enduring tale of Middle Earth.
Recently adapted in Russia as a rock-opera, the Lay of Leithian is reimagined and revitalized. With a stellar cast, and music composed and adapted by Skadi, it's an entirely new way to experience the story of Beren and Lúthien.
Here you'll find the entire libretto translated into English, best used as subtitles for the 2021 livestream recording. Information and links for viewing are included in the notes.

This is hilarious. Best short humor format since the Very Secret Diaries of the early 00s.

Amazing world-building and characterization. Basically the entirety of The Goblin Emperor in lost scenes and alternative perspectives from the Alcethmeret staff.
