And it’s not Sauron.
The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power It was one of the star premieres of 2022, but we will have to wait quite a while to enjoy its second season. While, however, we are getting to know some of the first details about the new episodessuch as the actors who join the cast in the skin of new characters or the directors who will be in charge of the new chapters.
As in the first installment, there is still a great deal of secrecy aimed at preserving what will happen in season 2 of The Rings of Powerbut we can count on the fact that among the new additions to the series of Amazon Prime Video we will find some characters that are key in the history of Middle Earth. However, most of them we already met in the first stage, with Galadriel and Elrond forming part of the first line and with the confirmation, finally, of the true identities of Halbrand (Charlie Vickers) and the Comet Man (Daniel Weyman). ).
In fact, the first season of The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power He already introduced us to a character who went much more unnoticed than the previous ones but who is much more important than we think. So much so that it could be said that he is a character who is destined to change the world.
Those viewers familiar with The Silmarillion – the collection of writings on Middle-earth that recount other stages of history long before the events of The Hobbit and the Lord of the Rings– You already know the reason, but loud and clear the content creator on TikTok ‘Cenobeita’a young woman passionate about reading in general and everything that surrounds The Lord of the rings who exudes love for Tolkien’s work and who mainly dedicates his channel to explaining a lot of details and bringing us closer to his fantastic universe in a fun and casual way.
In one of her latest videos, the tiktoker faces a challenge posed by the Tolkienish account consisting of saying which character is definitely the most important in each of the three ages of Middle-earth. For his chosen ones in the first and third ages, Finrod and Bilbo Bolson, respectively, he does not shy away from giving explanations, but for his chosen one in the second age, he prefers not to dwell too much so as not to advance anything that could reveal too much about the Amazon series but whose importance he summarizes by stating that it will change the world.
His chosen one? A character we already know: ar-pharazonplayed by Trystan Gravelle in four episodes of the first season.
Without wanting to reveal too much, we can summarize that Ar-Pharazon is an absolutely key figure in Númenor and the most important thing remains to be seen. In the Amazon series, however, his story is greatly altered, in which he is presented as a member of the court of the Regent Queen Tar-Míriel but whose true allegiance is unclear. After the death of Tar-Palantir, it remains to be seen what his next move will be, but there is no doubt that the character has ballots to bear part of the weight of the political plots in the second season and sentence the future of the kingdom of Númenor.
