The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power happen in The Second Age of Middle-earththousands of years before the events of The Lord of the Rings trilogy by JRR Tolkien. But that doesn’t mean some familiar characters won’t appear – after all, goblins live really, really, really long time, and wizards are basically demigods. Until now, younger versions of Galadriel (Morfydd Clark) and Elrond (Robert Aramayo) act in the first part. The show is not based on any particular Tolkien book, but instead his pages and Appendix pages explore the history of Middle-earth.
