The prologue helps to draw the audience into the story and begins with immediate action as Galadriel and her retinue weather a blizzard, discover the sigil of Sauron and battle a snow troll within the first 20 minutes.

The story also features Nori, a curious teenage Harfoot (the group preceding the Hobbits) and The Stranger, a mysterious gentle giant who falls from the sky. The human-healer Bronwyn, her son Theo, and Arondir, an elf warrior assigned to guard the town of Tirharad which allied itself with Sauron in the war, contend with the townspeople’s sympathies towards their old evil allies.Įlrond, an optimistic and bookish young half-elf attempts to mend his relationship with the dwarf, Durin. The first episode serves primarily to establish the plotlines and present to the audience the key players. The series immediately dives into the narrative, with Galadriel’s conversation with her brother acting as a prelude to the dilemmas she will have to confront later. It is only fitting then, that its prequel, the heavily anticipated “The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power” (2022–), begins the same way. Twenty-one years ago, audiences around the world heard Cate Blanchett’s ethereal voice whisper “the world is changed,” with no idea how “The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring,” and its sequels, would change the world of pop culture.They had no idea of the cinematic experience of epic proportions they were in for.
