[+] The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power - SPOILERS ALLOWED

[Zaukrie]

If Adar is one of the M-named Sons of Feanor that survived that would certainly be a twist. And it might even explain why he reacted to such hostility to the name of Sauron: Sauron was a willing servant of Morgoth, whereas the orcs are merely Morgoth's "creation" .

But in any case I came here to say that this plot line where if the elves do not get mithril they will wither away in less than a year is just every kind of stupid. Like, the shows origin of mithril is interesting, if unnecessary. But this whole, "Wow, good thing we found this this year or we would all be toast," is just bloody insane.

I agree with you on mithral and their souls for sure. I expect it is another lie?

 

[Arilyn]

I'm pretty sure the mithral thing is a lie. "And they were all of them deceived."
It's a con to get the rings in elven hands.

So should we read anything into Poppy's song lyrics?

(copy pasted from the internet - any mistakes are not mine!)

The sun is fast fallin'
Beneath trees of stone
The light in the tower
No longer my home
Passed eyes of pale fire
Black sand for my bed
I trade all I've known
For the unknown ahead.

Call to me, call to me
Lands far away
For I must now wander
This wandering day
Away must I wander
This wandering day

Of drink I have little
And food I have less
My strength tells me no
But the path demands yes

My legs are so short
And the way is so long
I've no rest nor comfort
No comfort but song

Sing to me, sing to me
Lands far away
Oh rise up and guide me
This wandering day
Please promise you'll find me
This wandering day

At last comes their answer
Through cold and through frost
That not all who wonder
Or wander are lost
No matter the sorrow
No matter the cost
That not all who wonder
Or wander are lost

Certainly makes it sound like they came out of Mordor, doesn't it? Unless someone else can think of where black sand and eyes of pale fire might be found, other than Mount Doom.

Mount Doom hasn’t erupted at this point … is it even there?

 

[FitzTheRuke]

Waldreg? I thought his name was Baldric!

Well, his plan sure was 'cunning'.

 

[Ryujin]

Not that we know of, anyway. I was thinking that it's what is shown in the Mordor glyph, but Mount Doom is further north. I wonder if it was shown in the map that was in the Numenorian library? Worth going back for a look.

If I have to wait 8 years to get the answers to those questions, I'm not gonna make it!

Not an X-files fan?

Episode 5: What in the name of JRRT did I just watch? When did mithril become elven midichlorians?

I'm pretty sure this is a deceit. It's the way in to get the rings made and to con the elves into accepting them. The Enemy is using an elven legend to manipulate the elves. That better be what's going on!
