The Rings of Power Leakyrumours

With a year to go before Season 2 is screened, it’s time to start tracking some of the information floating around online about the PrimeVideo Second Age TV show.

Leakyrumours – ‘A new actor is to play an “original form Sauron” character in the latest episode of RoP Season2.’

Charlie Vickers played “human form Sauron” in season 1.

Is the new “original form Sauron” going to be Annatar, or an Annatar like character? Does RoP have access to the name ‘Annatar’?

Leakyrumours – ‘This new character has been described as “Angelic” and “beautiful” in his design with a black and gold costume colour palette and long black hair.’

“…for he (Sauron)  could assume many forms, and for long if he willed he could still appear noble and beautiful, so as to deceive all but the most wary” and “his hue was still that of one both fair and wise.”

The Silmarillion, ‘Of the Rings of Power and the Third Age’

In Eregion with Celebrimbor, Sauron posed as an emissary of the Valar, under the guise of Annatar, the "Lord of Gifts" and over hundreds of years taught the Elves how to create the Great Rings using his knowledge. 

Are we going to see a flashback to the creation of the nine and seven rings we didn’t see in Season One, which happened before the creation of the three Elvish rings.

Or is the “original form Sauron” a depiction of Mairon, a flashback to when he was amongst the Ainur at the beginning of time? We will be shown Sauron’s origin story as the Maiar of Aulë, and how he was ensnared by Melkor?

  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 ...
