	The Lays of Beleriand
		The Lays of Beleriand was the third volume published in the series known as The History of Middle Earth, comprised of the posthumously published tales, notes, and poems of JRR Tolkien.
		The first lay Tolkien began, some time in the early 1920’s, was “The Lay of the Children of Hurin”, in alliterative verse.
		The Lays of Beleriand also includes a few other small fragments of poetry related to the Middle Earth mythologies dated during the same time period (1920-1925) that the “Lay of the Children of Hurin” was from.

	The Lays of Beleriand - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Lays of Beleriand, published in 1985, is the third volume of Christopher Tolkien's 12-volume series, The History of Middle-earth, in which he analyses the unpublished manuscripts of his father J.
		The book contains the long "lays" or poems Tolkien wrote: these are the Lay of the Children of Húrin about the saga of Túrin Turambar, and The Lay of Leithian (also called Release from Bondage) about Beren and Lúthien.
		The first versions of the long lays fit chronologically in with Tolkien's earliest writings, as recounted in The Book of Lost Tales, but the later versions are contemporary with the writing of The Lord of the Rings.

		The first of the poems is the unpublished Lay of The Children of Hurin, narrating on a grand scale the tragedy of Turin Turambar.
		The second is the moving Lay of Leithian, the chief source of the tale of Beren and Luthien in The Silmarillion, telling of the Quest of the Silmaril and the encounter with Morgoth in his subterranean fortress.
		The Lays of Beleriand contains 2 partially completed verse tales, the 1st of which – ‘The Lay of the Children of Hurin’ is hampered by it’s reader unfriendly metre, and is no improvement on the prose version as already given in earlier volumes.

		In Beleriand he first settled in Tol Sirion and built Minas Tirith, but, guided by Ulmo, he found the Caverns of Narog and began the building of Nargothrond, capital of the largest Noldorin realm in Beleriand; he was its king.
		He fought in the Wars of Beleriand; during Dagor Bragollach he was surrounded by Orcs in the Fen of Serech but was rescued by Barahir, to whom he gave the ring of Barahir as a pledge of aid to his house.
		In the Wars of Beleriand, Sauron was the most feared of Morgoth's servants, but after the War of Wrath and the expulsion of the first Dark Lord, Sauron rose to become the greatest enemy of Elves and Men in the Second and Third Ages.

	Watches-The Lays of Beleriand -The History of Middle-Earth, Vol. 3- (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		This volume is composed of multiple versions of two major poems, `The Lay of the Children of Hurin' and `The Lay of Leithian', both of which involve the conflict between the elves of Beleriand and Morgoth.
		Even with these flaws, however, The Lays of Beleriand is worth reading for evocative flashes suggestive of his better, published work, and of course, for the fan or the scholar interested in the world of Middle Earth, there is much material available nowhere else.
		The Lay of Leithian is approximately 200 pages, and how Tolkien ever managed to write so many eight-syllabled lines (in couplets!) about a fairytale is beyond me. In terms of the evolution of Tolkien's mythology, the lays predate the published Silmarillian but postdate the Lost Tales.

		The Lay of the Children of Hurin was supplanted by the Lay of Leithian, "Release from Bondage", in which another major legend of the Elder Days received poetic form, in this case in rhyme.
		Accompanying the poems are commentaries on the evolution of the history of the Elder Days, which was much developed during the years of the composition of the two Lays.
		Also included is the notable criticism in detail of the Lay of Lethian by C.S. Lewis, Tolkien's friend and colleague, who read the poem in 1929.

		Beleriand is a virtual environment and game where we have tried to recreate the world of J.R.R. Tolkien's Middle-earth books.
		The action of Beleriand specifically takes place in the First Age (as told in The Silmarillion, The Lays of Beleriand, and the majority of Tolkien's fiction), when the good guys were stronger and brighter, when the bad guys were bigger and badder--in short, this is Middle-earth at its height!
		This is the time of the War of the Jewels, the fantastic struggle of the Free Peoples against the awesome power of the great Vala Morgoth and his minions.

		Sauron was one of these, and the Balrogs lay hid with him in Angband's deepest vaults.
		Angband re-entered history when Melkor escaped Valinor with the stolen Silmarils: he chose the ruined fortress as his new capital, and rebuilt the Hells of Iron as a base for the dark reign he intended for the lands of Middle-earth.
		Soon after the Return of the Noldor to Beleriand, Morgoth took Maedhros Fëanor's son by deceit and trickery, and hung him by the wrist from the towers of Thangorodrim above Angband.

		And lastly, the references that have been collected also hint at the werewolf's ability to render wounds unclean and poisonous (The Lays of Beleriand P. That reference refers to an ordinary werewolf preparing for battle with Felegund who is attempting to preserve the life of Beren.
		Now Beren lay in a swoon within the perilous Gate, and death nigh him, for there was venom on the fangs of the wolf.
		Since they are described as having been ridden by Orcs (The Silmarillion P. 210 and The Lays of Beleriand P. 331) it will therefore be assumed that their size is closer to that of an average pony.

		Comment: "The Lays of Beleriand" contains two of the most ambitious (but sadly unfinished) of J. Tolkien's retellings of stories from his "Silmarillion" mythology in various literary forms.
		"The Lay of Leithian" is considered by many Tolkien fans, including myself, to be one of the greatest pieces of literature composed by Tolkien, ranking alongside "The Lord of the Rings" itself.
		"The Lays of Beleriand" is one of the three or four most important volumes in "The History of Middle-earth," and is my own personal sentimental favorite of all of J. Tolkien's books.
