season

one welcome back to Middle Earth for the prequel to the Lord of the Rings many thousands of years ago the elves lived in their own paradise place valinor but one day the light of their tree began to die because the dark lord morgoth began to be, the elves had to leave their homeland of valinor and sailed to middle earth to fight him. It was an epic war, but in the end they defeated morgoth at great cost. Our main character is the elf Galadriel, yes, who?

I still live in The Lord of the Rings because remember that elves are immortal unless of course they are killed like Galadriel's brother by Morgoth's general Sauron, so she swears revenge and that is where this story begins with Galadriel hunting Sauron now in The Lord. of the Rings, she was very calm and peaceful Galadriel, but in her youth she was an epic warrior, oh yes, she tracks down or arrives at this Fortress where she was apparently trying to forge something, but except for her strange gallows logo, the trail goes cold, so she returns home. City of the elves, where her best friend is Elrond, yes, here he is also a young man.

Now Galadriel wants to continue hunting Sauron, but the Elf King says: He is clearly gone, the war is over, we are disbanding the army, so Galadriel is forced to retreat and is sent back. to her continent Paradise Valinor, but at the last minute she says yes, no, thank you, she gets off the ship, she knows that Sauron is still out there and, in fact, evil is secretly rising in the peaceful Southern Lands, the humans here they allied themselves with Morgoth in the war, so the elves. still keeping a close eye on them is this guy's job, dear Aaron, but now evil orders are coming, the army has disbanded, which is a shame for him because he has a flirtation with the human Bronwyn, luckily he has an excuse to stay. when a cow falls ill, leading him to discover that the next village has been destroyed and he is captured by the orcs and they have already dug tunnels under our village, a sneak attack by the orcs, luckily she manages to eliminate this one, like, Hey southerners, it's time to evacuate.

Meanwhile, Elrond has been recruited for a special mission by Master Elvin Smith Cala Brimbor. He wants to build a new super special Forge, but the elves can't do it alone and need the help of the dwarves, so Elrond goes to the dwarven city of Kaza Doon. currently in his golden age, now Elrond is friends with the dwarf prince Duran, but Duren is angry with him right now because he hasn't called in 40 years, so the best brothers have to solve it by breaking some rocks and then b

him home to he meets his new wife, who is super nice and these two are super cute together, so these two are best friends again, the dwarves agree to help and there is one more group that we are following the

season

, the harfoots little people who are peaceful, happy and very clearly ancestors of the hobbits here we follow a mischievous young woman named Nori who likes to go on adventures with her best friend Poppy one night a meteorite crashes nearby but it's not space Rock is a naked man who is this guy?

Is it Sauron? Well, he definitely has some magic.

power

s, he's some kind of man, baby, right now he can't speak or be human, so Nori befriends him and tries to help him and I'm pretty sure this guy is Gandalf, so in the middle of the ocean, Galadriel is starting to think. she has made a big mistake, luckily she finds a random raft of humans, one being this handsome guy, Hal Brand, but almost immediately a sea monster attacks and kills the rest of them, so she and Albrand give her time to alone and do what they don't do.

They get along well at first so you know they'll hook up later, but now they're picked up by a royal ship and taken to the legendary Isle King Kingdom of Numenor, their ancestors sided with the elves against Morgoth in the war, so what was granted to them. this beautiful island but right now the political climate is anti-elf so Galadriel and the queen don't get along she is under house arrest and guarded by the captain of the ship that found her alendil alendil wait why do I know that name well? my most famous son, Isildor, yes, ancestor of Aragorn and the guy who, well, no spoilers.

I guess if you haven't seen The Lord of the Rings by now, he's a young man of bronze who wants to leave ship school to go on adventures in Middle Earth. but her father is like a son, you can't leave boat school to be an adventurer, ironically, although he has no problem with his daughter going to art school, anyway, Galadriel's house arrest includes the library where he discovers that he has been holding a sore symbol on his side. not a gallows, it's a map of the Southlands and this is an interesting coincidence because her new friend Hal Brand has this bag with a symbol on it that is the actual symbol of the Southlands.

Yeah, he's doing the Aragorn thing where he's the long-lost King, but. he doesn't want it because his ancestors sided with the bad guys in the Southlands, the Orcs have taken Arendere prisoner, but he organizes a Prison Break and he has those elf superpowers that make him lose his legs, yeah, al They eventually capture him again and bring him to the orc leader. oh man, that's definitely Sauron, but he claims not to be Sauron, it's like I'm a totally different guy, my name is Adar, meanwhile, the humans have evacuated to the Elf Tower, but they're running out of food , so Bronwyn's foolish son returns to the Village. him to find some, but he also finds a super evil looking sword that if you put your blood in it turns into a Shadow sword, more on that later anyway.

Adar let the elf go to bring a message, surrender or die. Bronwyn steps up to be a leader. I vote for us. fight, but this cowardly bartender guys like no, I vote, we surrender, he leads a group to the Orcs, like, hey, we swear allegiance to you, Lord Sauron, adar is like brother, I'm telling you, I'm not Sauron, actually , back in the land of the elves, construction projects underway. Great with the new cooperation between dwarves and elves, but Elrond suspects that both sides are hiding something and asks his friend Duran, who says okay, but you have to promise not to tell because we found this new metal that is super cool, we call it mithril.

The only problem is it's very dangerous to mine, in fact the tunnel is collapsing right now and it turns out the elves know all about this paper, that's the real reason they said Delran in the first place. See, back in the Legends era, a guy was fighting a balrog and he likes it. The power of the gods entered this tree, which then seeped into the mountains, it made mithril and now for unknown reasons the elves are losing their immortality, their only hope is that the mithril can revitalize them, that's what the super Forge is for. , because they want to make a bunch of mithril for all the elves to use, so elrond says to Duran, hey, we need your help and it's like, hey brother, I got you, but it's not Duran, they need to convince it's the Duran's father, the elder King Duran, and he says, look, mining the mithril.

Too dangerous. I'm not going to risk dwarven lives to save the elves, who you know is unfair, they're immortal anyway, but Duren isn't going to let his best friend die, so these two go down to extract it themselves and they achieve. They find the mother lode of mithril. going down the mountain at that moment, although Duren's father catches him and is not very happy, he banishes Elrond and strips his Honduran of his princely caller, he shuts down mithril mining, it is too dangerous and ironically he is completely right because In the depths he could awaken in an ancient evil, yes the balrog, he does not awaken this season, but watch out for him in season two, now back to the hard feet, they are preparing for their great migration, but the father of Nori breaks his ankle and normally Harvard is all together, but in migration it's the pirate code, if you're left behind you're left behind, but luckily Nori's new friend, the wanderer Gandalf, is here to help him push his cart and These two Bonds have a great time.

She teaches him to speak words. and he's a really useful guy not only for pushing carts, but if the wolves attack him with Dew and Magic, but sometimes he can't control his powers, he almost accidentally hurts Nori and there's another danger approaching behind them because this strange group of people. they are tracking our spaceman now back to Galadriel who wants numenor's help to save the Southern Lands from Sauron but the queen here says "sorry I can't help you" she shows Galadriel the palantir she has . This shows the future where Galadriel's arrival ends with new The destruction of the Manor was swallowed by the sea, so yes, you see, it's not personal, but you have to get out of here, but at that moment its Magic Tree begins to lose leaves , which is as good a sign as any that you're on the wrong path, so now Queen Muriel says change of plans new Menorah we're helping Galadriel navigate the war, but the move to make Newmanor again being big is not happy about this and their leader is Chancellor Farazon and he is a very good politician who manages to calm this crowd and get them to join the war, but also somehow it is about voting for me and this guy has a Absolutely glorious beard and hair combo, something his son Kevin, uh, doesn't.

He's been flirting with Silver Sister and generally seems like a good guy, but reveals that he's kind of a jerk. like Hi dad, we hate elves, why do you support this war? It's like, first of all, Kevin cut his hair and second of all, if we sail into war and save the Southlands, we can rule the Southlands will be England, the America of Middle Earth, it will be amazing and that's how it is. happening to Galadriel in full shining armor sailing with New Manor to save the Southlands and it's not too soon because Dar and the Orcs are marching towards Village Health guys that's a trap for him alone at home in the tower yeah , take that, but there are always more orcs now they are fighting in the village, all the peasants against orcs fight in the end, the peasants win until they realize that the orcs they fought were the people who defected, yes he He sent them first, then Nadar arrives with Arc's entire army and easily seduces.

He now really wants the sword of shadows and to save his mother the boy abandons her, but he waits now, who is coming? Yes, Newman or the cavalry riding in nothing like a cavalry charge to save the day and by the way, a sildor is here too. gets her wish to fight in battle and have a great adventure, Galadrio performs a sick move where he dodges an arrow off the horse, yeah, take this other guy tries to copy her, but he doesn't have that elven core strength, so Adar he's trying to escape with the sword, but Hal Bran shows he has the abdominal strength to get down there, oh, he trips the horse and now Galadriel is interrogating him, so come on, you're Sauron, right, but he says no, I tell you?

I am a different person. Sauron abandoned us to take up blacksmithing, so it's up to me to try to give our people a home. Remember in The Lord of the Rings how Soromon explained that Orcs used to be elves who were corrupted by dark powers. Well, that's me. I'm the first of those and that's why I still look like an elf, but I'm really an orc and it's an interesting moral twist here, as he says, look, I just want a homeland for my people, which we oryx have so much for. right. He lives like any other person and gladial is the one who says no.

Orcs are purely evil and ugly. I'm going to genocide them all anyway for now the Southlands are saved and good news: we found their long lost king and these peasants haven't invented democracy. However, they say oh this is amazing, everyone hails King Albrand, but now what's the problem with this Shadow Sword? Well, it turns out that DAR made a Switcheroo and gave the real sword to the waiter, who sticks it in the most, turns out it's a key that opens the dam and frees the river and all these tunnels the Orcs were digging weren't just to hide, it turns out that they all drive to the mountain, a mountain that is actually a volcano and now with the added water, boom and it's not a small eruption with a little lava it's a huge wall of smoke and death from Mount Saint Helens uh not good for the Southlands this was a DARS master plan to create the land of Permanent Shadow perfect for the Orcs And in case you haven't realized yet, The Southlands are Mordor, Gladriel survives because He has elf superpowers and the dumb kid also survives because he has a super plot.

Powers. His hot mother also survives along with his handsome new elf stepfather. The queen also survives although she is now blind, but it is Isildor who was down. a building on fire when it collapsed on him because this is a prequel, we know that a Sildor lives but his father, oh how sad, so Numenor is going to retreat for now, but the queen promises to return with an even more armybig and Gladriel is nice. We'll also be bringing the elves on board, and as the important people leave to do important things, the Cephalon villagers are going to rebuild.

I suppose a little north of the Southlands, now the harfoots are approaching their rest, stop at the beautiful Apple Grove, but unfortunately it is close by. to the volcano-burned Southlands, maybe Gandalf tries to magically save some trees, but all he manages to do is almost kill some tough feet, so finally it's like, hey man, thanks and I'm sorry, but maybe you're too dangerous to stay around, but the next day it turns out his magic worked, the apples were saved, yeah, you feel bad about sending them now, but now Eminem has caught up to him and it's like, wait, who are you?

Friend or foe, they don't say anything, but they liked everything. Apple carts on fire oh, Hardfooted Enemy, this is an extinction level event, but Nori's father gives a speech about staying together, which makes Nori realize that I have to go save Gandalf because in fact The Real Slim Shady has caught up with him, but they are not here to fight him, they are here to serve him, they believe he is Sauron, they will take him to a special place where you will be able to see this nation constellation and he will regain his memories and his powers, but his thick-footed friends are here to rescue him, unfortunately they are no match for the fireballs nor he says, hey man, we need your help, but he feels bad because now he thinks he's evil. and it's like good and evil aren't something you were born with, you can choose to be whoever you want and he chooses good, he defends his thick-footed friends, these guys say oh, it's not Sauron, he's the other one, Yes brother.

I told you that I am Gandalf boom banished and so for the hard-footed the day is saved, except for the old man of the Old Village, who now dies, back to the elves, where Galadriel and elrond complement each other while Hal Brand hangs out in his cool new Forge. turns out he's kind of a Smith himself and he's like, wow, what's this cool metal? I just had the idea what would happen if you mixed it with other metals, you know, spread it out and Calabrimbo is super embarrassed, he didn't think about it, so they have a new plan with so much mithril, they can make a crown if the elves.

King uses it, maybe it can radiate light to all the elves to keep him immortal, but when Cala Brimbor explains what they're trying to do, it sounds exactly like what a dog R told him Sauron was trying to do and now he's looking at his friend Hal. marks very suspiciously, which is awkward because this would be a fantastic kissing moment if she didn't suspect him of being a dark lord and now she finds evidence that the line of Kings of Southland has been confirmed to be over, it's like who you really are and the. Breaking Bad is complete say my name dark lord Sauron you are absolutely right she tries to kill him but he traps her in a raft dream where it's like look I'm not a bad guy if you rewatch the season I never lied to You, My story is the same as Hal Brands.

I used to serve more goths, but now I'm free to be better. His plan is to make two magical crowns and save Middle-earth with him and Galadriel ruling together. He says, "Hey, honey, I won't do it." be a dark lord if you're by my side the Lady of Light but she ain't got it she's like look clearly you're super evil and he's like yeah I mean yeah maybe I am so disappear , but Gladriel decides not to tell his friends that it is Sauron, who has been helping him because the elves still need this mithril, but now he has a new idea.

One crown is bad because it could corrupt that person and two is bad because it could corrupt them both. In war, they need three, three super elves who can. find the balance, but it's like we don't have enough mithril for three crowns, we need something smaller, so the forging of the three elven rings has begun as the first season comes to an end, the hardfeet will finish their migration, except Nori, who is embarking on an adventure, she will be the companion of his new magical tendency and although they never say Gandalf, he begins to speak exactly like him, obviously it is Gandalf, the Numenorians return to discover that their father, the King, finally has died and if House of the Dragon has taught us anything: the death of a king is a good excuse for the councilors to start plotting also if Sildor's sister was with the king in his final moments where he was lucid and said that you have You read the prophecy ball, so now. she knows and the forging of the Rings is complete, yes we have the three elven rings of power, but with some strange collateral acting, Elron snoops around a bit and finds out that Sauron is helping him, but he also doesn't say anything and comes to the same The bottom line is that everything will be fine as long as Sauron doesn't secretly forge a master ring to rule them all, which is exactly what he's going to do and that's where the rings of power from season one come in.
