As fans of Tolkien will know, there is plenty more to learn about Sauron's conquest of Middle Earth than the brief glimpse we saw at the start of The Fellowship of the Ring.

This evidence could mean that the Amazon series might be adapting parts of Tolkien's dense book, The Silmarillion. These theories would be supported by the fact that Gondor is nowhere to be seen on the above map and that a young Galadriel (who was played by Cate Blanchett in the original trilogy) is among the cast of characters. Rumors have since suggested the series could cover the fall of Númenor and the formation of Gondor, the kingdom which Aragorn became king of in the final film of Peter Jackson's series. Númenor's ruler, King Elendil, then set sail for Middle Earth, where he eventually founded the kingdom of Gondor. An ancient kingdom of Men with long lifespans, Númenor flourished throughout much of the Second Age until it fell to Sauron's influence. Tolkien aficionados noticed the official series map (above) in a much earlier tweet about The Rings of Power included the five-pointed-star-shaped southwest island kingdom of Númenor. “Until now, audiences have only seen on-screen the story of the One Ring - but before there was one, there were many… and we’re excited to share the epic story of them all”, they added. The Rings of Power unites all the major stories of Middle-earth’s Second Age: the forging of the rings, the rise of the Dark Lord Sauron, the epic tale of Númenor, and the Last Alliance of Elves and Men.

When the series' name was revealed, showrunners J. From the darkest depths of the Misty Mountains to the majestic forests of the elf-capital of Lindon, to the breathtaking island kingdom of Númenor, to the furthest reaches of the map, these kingdoms and characters will carve out legacies that live on long after they are gone."
"Beginning in a time of relative peace, the series follows an ensemble cast of characters, both familiar and new, as they confront the long-feared re-emergence of evil to Middle-earth. Tolkien’s The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings and will take viewers back to an era in which great powers were forged, kingdoms rose to glory and fell to ruin, unlikely heroes were tested, hope hung by the finest of threads, and the greatest villain that ever flowed from Tolkien’s pen threatened to cover all the world in darkness. This epic drama is set thousands of years before the events of J.R.R. "Amazon Studios’ forthcoming series brings to screens for the very first time the heroic legends of the fabled Second Age of Middle-earth’s history.
