Amazon Studios The Rings of Power is here. We want all Spoilerites to have the best viewing experience possible and have the widest knowledge base about the Second Age of Middle-Earth. This is a weekly Let’s Get Nerdy article series highlighting a different piece of Tolkien I think you need to know about!
One of the most frequently asked questions I get about The Rings of Power – and even wrote about as part of this feature series – is when we’re going to see the “Rings” PLURAL of power the title of the show promised us. In fact, if I may offer a criticism of the first season – we barely saw any forging of RING, much less RINGS, at all. I’m asked so much about it I actually wrote Will We See More Rings in The Rings of Power Season 2? in February of this year!
Imagine my delight when I came across this Deadline interview with Galadriel, herself, Morfydd Clark, where Nenya is SPECIFICALLY MENTIONED!
Quick Refresher:
What is Nenya?
Nenya is one of the “Three Rings Elven-kings” also known as White Ring, Ring of Adamant, and Ring of Water born by Celebrimbor and later, the lady Galadriel.
We actually saw quite a bit of Nenya during the original Lord of the Rings film trilogy.
Clark shared at an FYC event for The Rings of Power:
“She’s about to have a life-changing thing happen to her. She’s about to become acquainted with Nenya, her ring. It’s really exciting to see how the magic creeps in.”
The use of the word “acquainted” by Clark in her statement is intelligent and profound because it doesn’t spoil Celebrimbor’s fate in The Rings of Power season 2.
She went on to add of Galadriel in the second season of The Rings of Power:
“She’s trying to see the light through the darkness.”
A phrasing which echoes what we heard Cate Blanchett say to Frodo when he departed Lothlórien during The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring:
“I give you the light of Eärendil, our most beloved star. May it be a light for you in dark places, when all other lights go out.”
The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring- The Fellowship receive gifts from Galadriel
No Description
This could either be a throwaway line or may hint at an evolution in Galadriel’s character from the angry warrior we met during The Rings of Power season one into the Queen of Lórien Tolkien readers may be more familiar with.
