The primary two episodes of “The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Energy” arrange some fairly large mysteries for the sequence, just like the identification of the Stranger who fell out of a meteor. One other main puzzle from the primary two episodes, which Amazon launched on Sept. 1: precisely what is going on on with that sword Theo (Tyroe Muhafidin) discovered.
Theo and his mom, Bronwyn (Nazanin Boniadi), dwell in what seems to be a quiet village within the Southlands. But it surely wasn’t all the time that manner, because the folks there and in neighboring cities had been wrapped up in Morgoth’s Warfare of Wrath. Maybe the most important remnants of the warfare are the legion of Elf fighters who’re nonetheless stationed close to the city, together with Arondir (Ismael Cruz Córdova). Arondir and Bronwyn are in love, regardless of the distrust between Elves and males.
Within the first episode, Arondir and Bronwyn journey to a close-by city to analyze a cow whose milk is pitch black and oily. Whereas they’e gone, Theo and a pal go to a barn. Below the floorboard, Theo reveals a prize he is saved hidden in a field: a mysterious damaged sword. He would not clarify how he ended up with the weapon. It is fairly clear, nonetheless, that the sword is unhealthy information. For one factor, it has Sauron’s image on it, which can be seen on Galadriel’s brother’s corpse and in a secret cave she leads her males to. Sauron was Morgoth’s lieutenant and can be the final word villain in “The Rings of Energy” (and, after all, the unique The Lord of the Rings sequence).
Issues go awry for Theo and Bronwyn within the second episode, once they’re attacked by an orc. Bronwyn finally decapitates the orc, however when Theo checks his damaged sword, it retains glowing — and presumably rising.
So what is that this sword? It looks like an honest guess that it belongs to Sauron himself. Sauron wasn’t notably related to a sword within the supply materials, J.R.R. Tolkien’s “The Lord of the Rings,” however that does not imply he would not have one on this adaptation.
By the course of “The Rings of Energy,” Sauron, who’s in hiding, will slowly acquire energy and allies throughout Center-earth. May Theo be one in every of his targets? Theo, Bronwyn, and Arondir are fully new characters for the present, so followers must wait and see their fates.
“The Rings of Energy” releases new episodes on Fridays.
