Isildur of Gondor cut the One Ring from Sauron's finger, and destroyed his physical being. Sauron was defeated by the Last Alliance of men and elves at the end of the Second Age. To control the Rings and their users, Sauron then forged the One Ring in the fires of Mount Doom and infused it with much of his power. Three were made for elves, seven for dwarves, and nine for human kings. He reappeared in the Second Age when, wearing a fair guise and uttering crafty words, he seduced the Elves of Eregion and convinced them to help him create the Rings of Power. After Morgoth was defeated in the War of Wrath, Sauron hid for many centuries. By all means, join me on a trip down this fantasy rabbit hole so we can try and make some sense out of these new "The Rings of Power" character posters.Sauron, the Dark Lord of Mordor, was a powerful spirit seduced by Morgoth, the first manifestation of evil.

In the same spirit, Amazon has debuted 23 total character posters for "The Rings of Power" season 1. Tolkien can be to even the most seasoned fans, it should come as little surprise that the title reveal alone itself provided enough context clues to fuel some hefty speculation. ![]() Marketing for "The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power" appears to be kicking off in earnest, only a few weeks after we finally learned the actual title of the upcoming Amazon series.Ĭonsidering how dense and challenging the original material by author J.R.R. ![]() but that doesn't mean we can't expect nearly two dozen separate character posters to help drive that point home.
