Rings of Power promo video

“You know the feeling of finally finding your own people. So do we. To all the fans who go deep, keep going. See where it takes you.”

Music seems to take a lot of inspiration from the Rohan and Gondor themes from the Jackson movies. Very Howard Shore-eske. The music is quite uplifting!

Seeing at Ent in the promo, does that imply Ents with be seen in RoP? In the Second Age the immense forests of Middle-earth were cut by the Númenóreans. The Ents were there to protect the forest from Orcs, Dwarves and other perils. So they may be depicted in the TV show.

The child in the video is dressed very much like the Amazon original character Arondir.

The video appeals to all of us who didn’t fit into the sport/music activities of school, but found escape and entertainment in reading Tolkien’s works.

“To all the fans who go deep, keep going. See where it takes you.” – an appeal to the skeptical lore fans to trust the showrunners and accept the Amazon additions needed to fill out the Second Age storyline.

The sheet of the boy as he reads in bed has a print of John Howes drawing of the Glaurung at The Battle of Unnumbered Tears. RoP is rated TV-14. Does the boy look over 14 years old? Reinforces what the showrunners have said previously that RoP isn’t a adults only Game of Thrones style show.

The promo shows RoP being shown at a cinema. Could the prologue episodes be screened cinematically? RoP only have TV rights.

It is good that the promo video supports the link between reading Tolkien’s books and RoP. Ultimately, we all hope more people will read the Professor’s works after seeing the TV show.

  TRoP – Orodruin, Mount Doom “[There] was a fiery mountain in that land that the Elves named Orodruin. Indeed for that reason Sauron had set there his dwelling long before, for he used the fire that welled there from the heart of the earth in his sorceries and in his forging; and in the midst of the Land of Mordor he had fashioned the Ruling Ring.” The Silmarillion, Of the Rings of Power and the Third Age Morgoth created Mount Doom in the First Age. It was a tall mountain alone on an empty plateau. Orodruin was the primary reason Sauron chose the land of Mordor as his dwelling-place in the Second Age. Orodruin is more than just a "huge mass of ash and slag and burned stone, out of which a sheer-sided cone was raised into the clouds." It responded to Sauron's commands and his presence, lapsing into dormancy when he is away from Mordor and becoming active again when he returns. The Sammath Naur ("Chambers of Fire"), located high up in the mountain's con...

  TRoP - Harfoots Migration Route In episode 5 Nori tells us about the Harfoot migration route: “We winter in Old Forest, and mid-summer, we make for Norfield Glen to snail while the snailing is good. And at the first blush of oak leaves, we head to the Grove. A whole orchard, popping with bar apples, plums, apricots, carrots...” Old Forest – This can’t be the Old Forest in LotR where the Hobbits met Tom Bombadil. That is located northeast in Eriador. Nori may be referring to Greenwood the Great, later known as Mirkwood in the Third Age. Old Forest may have been were the Harfoots were eating snails in episode 3. Norfield Glen – Not shown on TRoP maps. Norfield Glen is probably somewhere in the northern part of the hilly region to the south of Greenwood. Weedbrook - a branch of the Anduin River. Possibly were the conversation between Nori and the Stranger occurred at the beginning of episode 5. Undercliffs - a few thousand years later, they would almost have been able to...

  The Rings of Power – ‘LeakyRumours’ Fellowship of Fans Meteor man was at Bronwyn’s village, Tirharad during one of the raids. A heavily emotional scene was said to have taken place. ·          This seems like a coming together of the meteor man/Harfoot story and the Bronwyn/Tirharad story arc ·          Does this mean Harfoots will be shown in the lands south of Gondor, Harad referenced in the name of the village ·          Is Tirharad the village we see Arondir, Bronwyn, Theo and Galadriel visiting? Is this the settlement later destroyed in a cataclysmic event? Meteorman will throughout this season use his powers to save the Harfoots from people trying to attack them both. ·          There seems to be an ongoing storyline of the Harfoots and meteor man reminiscent of the Gandalf/Hobbit relationship. Are the ...
