“The Second Age is the great unshot story in all of Tolkien’s legendarium, with the forging of the rings and the Last Alliance, and we felt that was the story that deserved to be told”explains co-showrunner McKay, while Morfydd Clark explain what Galadrielthe Lady of Lórien at the time of The Lord of the Rings, is on a mission:
“Galadriel has been on a quest for over 1,000 years scouring Middle-earth in search of this elusive, unknown, and very real evil. Ultimately, she knows this danger exists, this evil must be stopped.”to which Payne adds: “From the beginning we knew that she couldn’t do this alone, every good mission needs a companion”suggesting that the series will see Galadriel forming a band of allies to help her on her journey.
This series begins during a time of relative peace following the defeat of Morgoth, Sauron’s master. The series chronicles the lives and adventures of its cast and promises to visit the Misty Mountains, the wood elf capital of Lindon, and the shores of the island kingdom of Númenor.
