I feel like I was adift at sea with nothing insight but the horizons, 360.

97% names and places unrecognized, unable to visualize where these people were in Middle Earth. Maybe not there at all.. The remaining 3% known were dark places... and the ever-present Orcs.

The first chapter is incredibly like reading the Old Testament, which is how I described the Silmarillion after finishing it.
