as ring of powerSeason 2 is preparing us to get closer to the rise of Sauron, and it’s also preparing us to truly understand the titular rings of power that exist. This means we need some fingers to wear these rings on: one finger in particular will prove to be very interesting this season.
Amazon recently gave us our first look at Ben Daniels as Cirdan, one of several new major characters revolving around Middle-earth in season two. Círdan is a character we briefly meet in Peter Jackson’s film Lord of the Rings Movie – He appears briefly in Fellowship of the Ring‘ Prologue and some final scenes King’s return, played by Michael Elsworth. But he’s going to be a very fascinating character ring of power Season 2 set the stage for the war between Sauron and the Elves, and the climactic events of the Second Age ultimately Lord of the Rings itself.
Why Círdan is important ring of power Season 2
Círdan, better known as Círdan the Shipwright, was one of the oldest elves in Middle-earth. ring of powerand the Harbormaster of the Gray Havens: a port city founded in the First Age after the Elves’ wars with Morgoth, from which any Elves in Middle-earth who sought to follow the direct route westward to Valinor would set sail. As an important bridge between the elves in the west and the rest of Arda, Cirdan was one of the most influential figures of his kind for most of Tolkien’s time, but that didn’t stop his advice from being ignored, as he warned Don’t create elves.
Nonetheless, when the ring was forged and Anatar revealed himself in the guise of the returned Sauron—and the Dark Lord attempted to bend the elves to his will, and war broke out in Eregion—Cirdan was eventually slain by Kai Named after Lebribor, alongside Galadriel and Galadriel. Cirdan inherited Narria, the Ring of Fire, and eventually passed it on to Gandalf the Grey, recognizing him as one of the Maia, sometime during the Third Age.
We already know that at some point ring of power In Season 2, all three Elven Rings will remain with their bearers – a shot in the first trailer released for the season highlights Galadriel, Gil-galad and Under Childan’s hands, the leaves on the Linton tree took on new life. But considering that another major part of the season will focus on the journey of the mysterious stranger played by Daniel Wayman – who was revealed to be one of the Istari in the climax of season 1, many believed he It’s Gandalf himself – who provides a mirror in Cirdan among the Elves There’s an interesting parallel to this season’s storyline. Cirdan in particular will apparently spend at least some time this season with Elrond, who will be a major part of the war between the Elves and Sauron in the series. “I’m excited and selfish to be a part of the introduction of this character because he’s such an amazing character,” Robert Aramayo, who plays Elrond, told Total Film (via said in a new interview with GamesRadar. “He’s absolutely fascinating and very unique.”
When we start to see how unique it is The Lord of the Rings: The Ring of Power It will return to Amazon Prime next month on August 29th.
