The J.R.R. Tolkien Audio Collection is a collection of audio recordings of J.R.R. Tolkien, as well as Christopher Tolkien released in 2001 on CD. In CD 1, there are songs and excerpts from "The Hobbit" and "The Fellowship of the Ring" read by J.R.R. Tolkien.

For generations, J.R.R. Tolkien's words have brought to thrilling life a world of hobbits, magic, and historic myth, woken from its foggy slumber within our minds. Here, he tells the tales is his own voice. Of historic note, these selections from The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings are based on a tape recording Tolkien made in 1952, which inspired him to continue his own quest to see his vision in print. Also included is a never-published poem, "The Mirror of Galadriel," originally intended for inclusion in the trilogy, yet edited out. And, finally, Tolkien's son, Christopher, reads selections from his father's The Silmarillion, the epic foundation upon which rests the whole of his work.

The final chapter of Fire & Blood Vol. 1, details the final years of Aegon III's regency, following the return of his younger brother, Viserys, and Viserys's wife and her family. The court celebrated the return of Viserys, but had no love for his wife and her foreign ways and gods, or her family, which they accused of being overly ambitious. Her father, a bank owner named Lysandro, became First Magister For Life in Lys, and her uncle Drazenki, married the Dornish princess and became Lord of the Stepstones.

Rhaena’s small dragon Morning grew big enough to ride, and she flew it to Dragonstone where they stayed. Visserys and Larra welcomed their first child, Aegon IV. Baela and Alyn welcomed their daughter, Laena. They placed an egg in his cradle, but the dragon hatched malformed and bit the girl. Aegon III’s only friend, cupbearer, and food-taster died of a poison assassination, leaving Aegon bereft.

Alyn Velaryon started his voyage to conquer the roving bands of Iron Born from the Iron Islands who had been pillaging the western shores of Westeros from Fair Isle for years. He made peace with the flamboyant Tyroshi Rocallio Ryndoon who was styling himself King of the Narrow Sea, and then made peace with the Dornish. By the time he arrived at Fair Isle, however, one of Dalton Greyjoy’s wives, a lowborn girl stolen from the shores of Westeros, had slit his throat in his sleep, the smallfolk had rebelled, and the Iron Born had returned home. Alyn returned home, but while stopping in Dorne a messenger told him that Prince Viserys Targaryen, who all had thought dead during the Dance of Dragons, was alive in Lys and married to his captive’s daughter, Larra Rogare.

Aegon III was 12 when Tyland died. The young king tried to assert himself by making appointments to fill the gaps on the regents and small council, but Unwin Peake, now the Hand, countermanded the orders. As Hand, Protector of the Realm, and Lord Regent, Peake installed family members and favorites in the Kingsguard and other key roles. He created a personal guard called the Hand’s Fingers. Then Queen Jaehaera died by suicide. Rumors flew that she died of murder. Gyldayn speculates that Unwin was behind the murder. Seven days after Jaehaera’s funeral, Unwin told the king that he would be marrying Myrielle, Unwin’s daughter. The councils intervened. Unwin was forced to organize what Mushroom called “the Maiden’s Day Cattle Show” (647). The daughters of every house paraded in front of the king. Many potential rivals were killed, raped, and maimed before the ball, and Unwin was rumored to be behind the violence. Baela and Rhaena disrupted the ball to present their distant cousin, six-year-old Daenaera Velaryon, as the chosen bride. Unwin called this folly, but the regents forced his hand.

Chapter 22: https://www.bitchute.com/video/RjIyPOCLGWsi/

The northerners left the capital and thousands flocked in to witness the royal wedding and coronation, Next, the king named his small council, installing both sides of the loyalists in equal numbers. A council of regency was then formed, featuring seven lords and ladies from the realm, in order to help run the kingdom. Ser Tylan Lannister, who had been horrifically tortured and had facial scars, was named Hand of the King. Queen Dowager Alicent refused to abide with the compromise, and was confined to her rooms. Grand Maester Orwyle bribed his way out of being shipped to the wall, and was found working in a brothel. Tylan, fond of the maester, sentenced him to be held in a tower, where he was allowed to write his confessions.

Chapter 21: https://www.bitchute.com/video/JsqRo2YVYI5Y/

Despite the death of Queen Rhaenyra Targaryen at Dragonstone in the tenth moon of 130 AC, and the greens retaking King's Landing after the Moon of the Three Kings, Rhaenyra's supporters, the blacks, continued to fight in her name against King Aegon II Targaryen. Indeed in 131 AC, three blacks armies were marching on King's Landing: from Winterfell an army of northmen led by Lord Cregan Stark, from Riverrun an army of rivermen led by Lord Elmo Tully and from Gulltown an army of valemen commanded by Lord Leowyn Corbray and his brother Ser Corwyn Corbray in the name of Lady Jeyne Arryn.

The rivermen were welcomed by smallfolk and the gold cloaks when they enter the city. The remaining loyalists of Aegon II throughout the Crownlands bent the knee to the advancing army of valemen. Lord Cregan brought his army into the city and took control of it. He intended to continue hostilities by carrying out reprisals against the main supporters of Aegon II (Lannisters, Hightowers and Baratheons) in the name of the new king, the son of Rhaenyra, Prince Aegon.

However, Lord Corlys had already sent envoys to Casterly Rock, Oldtown and Storm's End in order to negotiate peace. If the terms of peace are rejected, the war can continue, like Cregan wanted. On the other hand, if they are accepted, attacking the former partisans of Aegon II would be considered as perjury and a breach of the King's Peace. Lord Cregan must therefore wait for their answers. The waiting lasted six days, during which Lord Cregan held the court in check thanks to his army. The Three Widows (The Three Widows was the nickname used by Archmaester Gyldayn to refer to Samantha Tarly, Johanna Lannister, and Elenda Baratheon,) accepted the peace, preventing Lord Cregan from continuing hostilities.

Lord Cregan still intended to do justice, by condemning those who are guilty or let commit the regicide of Aegon II. Lord Cregan arrested twenty-two men, including Lord Corlys Velaryon, Lord Larys Strong, Ser Perkin the Flea and Ser Gyles Belgrave of the Kingsguard. He was named Hand of the King and presided over the trials.

Chapter 20: https://www.bitchute.com/video/vhRtDxNqrI0z/

Aegon II remained on Dragonstone as he plotted how best to return to King’s Landing. His dragon died and he nearly had Baela killed, but decided he would use her to get the Velaryon’s, who had control of the sea, on his side. Meanwhile, Borros Baratheon heard of Rhaenyra’s death and went to King’s Landing and restored order with Alicent in the name of Aegon. Since Aegon could not get back without peace from the Velaryon’s, they conspired to agree to Corlys Velaryon’s terms to get his help, and then kill him later. Aegon returned to King’s Landing, still unable to walk, and executed the three pretenders.

While Lord Velaryon urged Aegon to pardon those lords that supported Rhaenyra, the king had said lords of the crownlands brought to him in chains to swear fealty, pay a heavy ransom, and provide hostages to the Crown, hardening them against him. Meanwhile, the riverlords marched towards King's Landing, while a large host from the Vale of Arryn was hiring ships to bring them down on the capital. Aegon made efforts to hatch dragon eggs from Dragonstone, but to no success. Corlys implored the king to wed his daughter, Jaehaera Targaryen, to the captive Aegon the Younger, though Aegon II desired for his sister's line to end; Aegon decreed that the prince would either join the Night's Watch or serve him as a eunuch.

Chapter 19: https://www.bitchute.com/video/Yytnor5dbK0M/

Rhaenyra’s situation in King’s Landing grew worse when Helaena killed herself by jumping out of her tower. Rumor spread that Rhaenyra had killed her half-sister, and after the tales of the deaths of young Jaehaerys and Maelor, the city rioted. A religious prophet named The Shephard who had been preaching Targaryen doom for months excited the masses and lords and ladies and knights were butchered in the streets. Five hundred goldcloaks ran into a hoard of ten-thousand, attempting to apprehend The Shepherd, but were all slaughtered. The remaining goldcloaks restored a bit of order the next day, but the next night was worse. The mobs opened the gates of the city and The Shephard instructed his followers to kill the Targaryen dragons in the dragonpit.

Chapter 18: https://www.bitchute.com/video/ZKJTY31uPLQM/

Aemond took Harrenhal and felt victorious until he heard what happened in King’s Landing. A series of battles took place in the Riverlands while Aemond remained in Harrenhal and Ser Criston Cole set off to wage battle by land on his behalf. To refill the treasury, which had been emptied, Rhaenyra imposed a series of harsh taxes. She had her enemies killed, and people began to think of her as a female Maegon. Aegon II’s youngest son, Maelor, was discovered at an inn and killed along with his sworn knight. Aemond attacked the realm by dragon. Ser Criston met a host of Northmen in the battlefield and tried to surrender to them, but they refused and shot him with arrows. Aemond’s younger brother, Daeron had an army moving across the south.

Chapter 17: https://www.bitchute.com/video/SNlSS1BgE31L/

Rhaenyra’s supporters doubled as Aegon II’s supporters diminished. The king started drinking heavily and then named Ser Criston Cole Hand of the King. Two identical twin brothers had served Viserys on the Kingsguard, but Ser Arryk remained loyal to Aegon, and Erryk was loyal to Rhaenyra. Aegon sent Arryk to Dragonstone to impersonate his brother and kill the young princes in retaliation, but Erryk spotted him and the brothers fought until their deaths.

Criston Cole organized a series of attacks in the Riverlands. Aegon himself took the field in a trap set by the Kingmaker at Rook's Rest, where he and Aemond fought and killed Princess Rhaenys Targaryen, the Queen Who Never Was, and her dragon, Meleys. However, Sunfyre was badly maimed by Rhaenys and Meleys, and Aegon suffered from burns that covered half his body, a broken hip, and numerous broken ribs. His armor had melted into his left arm, and it would take him a year to recover. Prince Aemond took over the rule in his stead as Prince Regent and Protector of the Realm. Aegon remained bent and twisted for the rest of his life, half his body covered in burn scars.

Chapter 16: https://www.bitchute.com/video/Ct34MOCYIuzt/

Daemon went to Harrenhal on his dragon and captured the castle, along with a serving wench named Alys Rivers who some said had magical powers. Jacaerys went to the Vale and convinced Lady Jeyne Arryn to join by promising her protection by dragonriders. Then he flew to White Harbor and convinced Desmond Manderly by offering his younger brother to wed Desmond’s daughter. Then he flew to Winterfell and became friends with Cregan Stark. They betrothed their future children together, and then signed a pact. Meanwhile, Lucerys rode to Storm’s End to ask Borros Baratheon to join him, but Aemond Targaryen was there, promising to wed one of Borros’ daughters. Borros denied Lucerys and Lucerys left. Aemond, who had lost his eye to Lucerys, followed him on his dragon, then killed Lucerys and his dragon Arrax.

Chapter 15: https://www.bitchute.com/video/PpBxGlfbruxw/

The period between 129 and 131, in which the two rival branches of house Targaryen fought for power, is known as The Dance of The Dragons. The moment King Viserys died, Alicent met with the small council to determine how to proceed. The only person who disagreed with their plot to place her son Aegon II (Aegon the Elder), the master of coin, was promptly killed. The conspirators keep the news secret for a week as they make preparations for the coming feud, and then Aegon was crowned in the dragonpit.

When news reached Rhaenyra on Dragonstone, she went into labor and gave birth to a stillborn girl. Afterwards, she assembled her own council. She was woefully outdone in almost every category, but Alicent only had four fighting-age dragons, and Rhaenyra had 12.
