Elrond himself has certainly seen his fair share as a child he was taken captive and imprisoned by the Sons of Feanor and had to be abandoned by his parents in the course of the Third Kinslaying, for one thing. Elrond states, “I have seen my share,” and Galadriel responds “You have not seen what I have seen,” as the audience gets a glimpse of what appears to be dead elves floating in red waters.

To begin with, the argument between Galadriel and Elrond ( Robert Aramayo) in the trailer hints at a history for each character that the series is likely to explore.

Galadriel must make some Númenorean connection, because she is seen in the trailer leading a charge of Númenorean cavalry at something yet to be revealed.Īrguably the most fascinating morsels that the trailers have given to us so far have been the tiny Easter eggs littered throughout each teaser, and the full trailer dropped some of the biggest ones yet. On the other hand, it could be some sort of embassy to the island of Númenor, also situated west of Middle-earth, and might well end in Galadriel’s shipwreck that has been shown in other teasers. It may be a flashback, as a number of shots in the trailer are definitely scenes from the First Age (more on that later), and so it could be some journey (or attempted journey) to sail into the West to reach the Undying Lands. Her journey on the ship is even more enigmatic. What she is up to is unclear, but she seems to be traveling with a company somewhere in the mountainous north of Middle-earth, perhaps in the area of Mount Gundabad, which has a complicated and dangerous history in Middle-earth lore. She is seen on a ship heading West accompanied by a flight of seabirds, trekking across a frozen wasteland and mountainous landscapes, tackling an ice troll, and covered in dust and ash bathed in an eerie red glow. What may be the biggest and most important storyline of the series seems to be the enigmatic mission of Galadriel ( Morfydd Clark) taking her all across Middle-earth. We either move forward, or we die with it.” For a man who later ends up saving the last hope of Númenor and leading the armies of the Last Alliance, this promises a potentially dramatic story arc for Elendil and his family. There are also a handful of lines spoken by Elendil ( Lloyd Owen), father of Isildur ( Maxim Baldry), who is also in a position very close to the rulers of Númenor in the source material. Nimloth is the tree from which the White Tree of Gondor later came, and those falling white petals could be some sign of impending disaster. This may have something to do with Miriel’s foreboding look upwards in the trailer there is an interesting possibility that those falling petals could come from the tree Nimloth, as well. There was speculation for a while about whether Pharazon and Miriel would be married at the beginning of the show, and who would be ruling, but the trailer and article seem to indicate that audiences will see a Queen Tar-Miriel before Pharazon makes his bid for the throne. This is the place for a (potential) spoiler warning, but Pharazon ends up marrying Tar-Miriel and effectively usurping the throne from her, taking on the mantle of Ar-Pharazon the Golden and leading Númenor towards its ultimate downfall.

But now that we finally have the full trailer, what do we know (and what can we guess) about the new Prime Video series? What the most recent trailer has revealed has finally given enough material about the plot and development to make a few firm conclusions - and, of course, a whole new set of wild theories inspired by some excellently-placed Easter eggs. Part of the marketing strategy in the lead-up to the September release of the series seems to be a slow drip of interviews, articles, images, and scenes gradually settling into a more and more coherent picture as the major storylines of the upcoming series start to fall into place. After years of speculations, a wilderness of wild theories, and an uncounted string of dubious “spoilers” in the intervening months, a full-length trailer for The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power has finally dropped and given audiences a more complete vision of the Second Age of Middle-earth than has ever been seen before.
