Very cool. I teach the Ainulindale in my college-level World Mythology course as a creation myth. This would be great in that context.

I'm thinking that this could make the Silmarillion more accessible to all those people (I've met lots of them) who stopped reading because the first chapter was so different from the Hobbit and the Lord of the Rings.

My daughter just stopped by moments ago and asked to borrow my copy of The Silmarillion. I've tried convincing her to read The Lord of the Rings instead (as she's never read it, though she knows it very well from the movies, trivia and card games, etc.).

I sent her a link to this, as it's a far easier way to experience the creation portion.
Tale of Years for a second, lower-level group (in the same campaign).
