The production takes place millennia before the adventure The Fellowship of the Ring, the first volume of the book trilogy. The focus is on showing the forging of the legendary Rings of Power, as well as the rise of the Dark Lord Sauron and the Last Alliance of Elves and Humans.
According to the official synopsis released by Prime Video, the series “focuses on a moment in history when great powers were forged, kingdoms rose and fell, while at the same time heroes were tested and their hopes nearly dashed by the great villain became the series Lord of the Rings universe. The series begins in a time of peace where the cast of characters, new and old, must face a resurgence of evil from the darkest depths of the Misty Mountains. Kingdoms and characters will leave legacies that will live on long after they die.”
