With the premiere of the new lord of the rings series, The rings of power, which is quickly approaching, fans may want to brush up on their knowledge of the word within the series, known as Arda. This is a globe of several continents, the main one of which is the well-known Middle Earth. Since the new series takes place during the Second Age, other continents and islands will surely appear.
Thousands of years before Frodo left the Shire, Arda was covered by a series of powerful kingdoms ruled by elves, men, dwarves and other beings with little reference to The Lord of the Rings books and movies. However, the various works of JRR Tolkien, incl The Silmarilliongive details on several key locations that will likely see the screen for the first time in the new series.
10 valinor
Public of the lord of the rings The movies might be more familiar with Valinor by its other name, The Undying Lands. Valinor is part of a continent known as Aman, which lies to the west of Middle-earth. It is home to the god-like Valar, who collectively play a vital role throughout Tolkien’s stories.
Valinor was home to many elves before they came to Middle-earth, including Galadriel, making it an important part of elven history in Rings of Power. It is unknown if the initial season of the series will have scenes set in Valinor, but the image of the two trees of Valinor in one of the Prime Video trailers guarantees at least one flashback.
9 Númenor
Númenor is a star-shaped island that lies between the continents of Middle-earth and Aman. It was raised from the sea by the Valar as a gift to the High Men at the beginning of the Second Age and was first ruled by Elrond’s twin brother Elros, a half-elf who chose to live a mortal life.
The Rings of Power The trailers reveal Númenor ruled by Queen Míriel, who is doomed to be the last rightful heir to Elros. His usurpation and subsequent fall of Númenor is one of the most significant moments of the Second Age, so it’s likely that the kingdom will feature heavily in the show.
8 Lindon
Lindon is the westernmost coastal region of Middle-earth and is therefore the closest part of the continent to the island of Númenor and the neighboring continent, Aman. It was founded by Gil-galad, who ruled several groups of elves, such as the Ñolders (like Galadriel) and the Sindar.
Since this realm was the central hub of the elves during the Second Age, it is guaranteed to appear in the series. Additionally, its proximity to Númenor, as well as other settlements on the continent, puts it right in the middle of all the action.
7 Erection
Eregion is another elven kingdom in Middle-earth and possibly the most important of the Second Age. It was ruled by Celebrimbor, who would unknowingly befriend the Dark Lord Sauron and forge the Rings of Power.
As the birthplace of the nine and seven rings of power and the three secret rings of the elves, it can be assumed that Eregion will be another important place for the Rings of Power series It is also noted in canon that it is a rare elven kingdom, as the relationship between those who lived there and the dwarves near Khazad-dûm was impeccable, a factor that will likely be important in the series.
6 Lothlórien
fans of The Lord of the Rings you will know Lothlórien as the realm ruled by Galadriel and Celeborn during the Third Age, where the Brotherhood rested after Gandalf’s fall to Moria. In the Second Age, it was the refuge that would later be and had been populated by the Sindarin Elves since the First Age.
Since Lothlórien is an important realm as far as Galadriel is concerned, it will eventually have to have a part in the series. However, Tolkien’s canon is inconsistent with when the Elf Lady came to rule the refuge. In some versions, she arrived at the beginning of the Second Age with her husband Celeborn, but based on her adventures announced in Rings of Power trailers, this probably won’t be the case for the series.
5 Imladris (Rivendell)
After Sauron’s deception was discovered, all-out war broke out and the kingdom of Eregion was under major threat. The Dark Lord’s forces were proving too much for Celebrimbor to withstand, so Elrond was sent with troops to aid him. Unfortunately, it would be too late.
It was when the familiar elf was The Lord of the Rings would set one of the most recognizable locations in the series, Imladris, better known as Rivendell. It was intended as a refuge for the survivors of Eregion and would be Elrond’s home until the end of the Third Age. Since the settlement will not be founded until long after the creation of the Rings of Power, it may not appear in the first season of the series. However, it is likely to be included later.
4 Khazad-dûm
When the Brotherhood went to the Mines of Moria a The Lord of the Rings, Gimli boasted of the greatness of the old kingdom. Of course, the public can never see this, since in the Third Age, Moria or Khazad-dûm was nothing more than a cave of horrors.
However, in the Second Age, the proud kingdom of the Dwarves was at its height of success, thanks to the mining of Mithril and close relations with the Elves of Eregion. Of course, the audience knows the ultimate fate of the kingdom, but it will be exciting for the audience to see it in all its glory and predict how it will come to its downfall in Rings of power.
3 Gondor
Given the revelation to the Rings of Power trailers that will show Elendil and Isildur, it’s likely that audiences will see the great kingdom of Gondor at its birth, even if it takes place in later seasons.
After the fall of Númenor, the Faithful, a group of surviving Men who had not followed the usurper to Valinor, came to Middle-earth. This included Elendil and Isildur, who were of the Line of Kings (Aragorn’s ancestors) and whose rule was easily established in the new kingdom of men. As the Elves’ conflict with Sauron grew, the newly established Gondor flourished. Eventually, they would help form the Last Alliance of Elves and Men, destroying Sauron until his return in the Third Age.
2 Arnor
When Elendil claimed Gondor, he established a sister kingdom known as Arnor, or the Kingdom of the North. Elendil ruled both regions for a time, with the northernmost initially favored by the citizens due to its proximity to the elves of Gil-galad. However, as the war raged, many citizens moved south.
As a whole, Arnor was of minimal importance to the Second Age. However, where Gondor retained its status as a kingdom after Elendil’s line lost the crown, Arnor did not. It fell into several self-governing regions, one of which was home to the hobbit population of Middle-earth, the Shire. Given the Rings of PowerThe inclusion of the nomadic Harfoots, Arnor will likely come into play as the final region of their settlement.
1 mordor
During the First Age, the Dark Lord Morgoth, whom Sauron served as lieutenant, wreaked havoc on Middle-earth. The result of this was catastrophic volcanic eruptions. The most notable of these was the eruption of Mount Doom, which created a wasteland that would later be called Mordor.
Sauron settled in Mordor during the Second Age after his true identity was revealed and established his fortress there, the tower of Barad-dûr. Henceforth, he became the Dark Lord of Mordor, and the iconic image of his ever-watchful eye atop the tower would be recognizable to anyone. LotR fan Of course, it could be several seasons before audiences see this familiar sight on screen Rings of Powerbut as a staple of Sauron’s rise to power, it cannot be avoided.
