![]() Clark's Galadriel is a dedicated warrior hell-bent on justice. We've seen Galadriel before, but not like this. Her journey takes her from the icy wastes of Forodwaith to the perils of the Sundering Seas, and beyond. Her fellow elves doubt her, but she remains steadfast in her quest. Now she has taken up his mission to find the evil left in Middle-earth and snuff it out. Sauron killed Galadriel's brother Finrod. Let's start with what is arguably the main arc of the series: Galadriel's hunt for Sauron.

Luckily, The Rings of Power has those in spades, boasting an ensemble of exciting new heroes to latch onto, as well as a wonderful cast. New heroes - and some familiar facesīronwyn, Arondir, and Theo are all new characters, but they fit right in in Middle-earth. Add to that the sheer beauty of New Zealand, where this season was shot, and you've got a world you'll want to get lost in for hours. Khazad-dûm is a stony marvel, and the harfoots' village is a quaint (and mobile) version of the Shire. The Elvish realm of Lindon is reminiscent of Jackson's take on Rivendell and Lothlórien, full of natural beauty and delicate Elvish architecture. In our journey to some of these places around Middle-earth, The Rings of Power brings us to gorgeously wrought locations. The shadow of Sauron still lingers, and threatens to appear in the most unexpected of places. At least, that's what most of them think. ![]() The great evils of Morgoth and Sauron have been defeated, and now elves, dwarves, and humans can live without fear. In an epic prologue reminiscent of Cate Blanchett's narration at the start of The Fellowship of the Ring, the elf Galadriel (Morfydd Clark) speed runs us through key events of the First Age. This is a world where the great dwarven kingdom of Khazad-dûm is still at the height of its power, where elves are ruled by the High King Gil-galad (Benjamin Walker), and where hobbit ancestors known as harfoots migrate with the seasons. We're in the Second Age, thousands of years before Bilbo and Frodo took their first steps outside the Shire. The Middle-earth of The Rings of Power is different from that of Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings film trilogy.
