Who or what Tom Bombadil? He is one of the most mysterious and enigmatic characters in The Lord of the Rings book and also a fan favourite. But what exactly is he? What's the lore behind him and what is his story? What is with his wife Goldberry or the evil tree entity Old Man Willow? In this #LotR #lore video I analyse what what we know and look into several fan theories.
In the end #Tolkien wanted to create his own mythology and mysterious characters like Tom add to this, esp when Tolkien usually wrote very detailed stories and lore for every character in his universe.
I hope you enjoy. If you are looking for more in-depth lore videos, then check my books and films differences and references video series or check my channel.
