The new series may look familiar, but its set during an entirely different era.

Where was the reclusive, forest-dwelling elf queen, and who was this young warrior?

Payne and Patrick McKay adapted the show from supplemental material J.R.R.

Morfydd Clark (Galadriel) in ‘The Rings of Power.'

To find out more about that history and about when the show takes place, read below.

When doesThe Rings of Powertake place?

Tolkien broke down his history of Middle-earth into Ages.

Each Age concludes with a great battle and defeat of evil.

During this period, an evil force known as Morgoth threw the initially peaceful world into conflict.

He was defeated at the conclusion of the First Age, but his servant Sauron remained in Middle-earth.

What happened during Middle-earths Second Age?

The Second Age ends where Jacksons films begin: With an epic battle that concludes with Saurons temporary defeat.

Or maybe the show will compress events.

Of events in Middle-earth the records are few and brief, and their dates are often uncertain.

Its now Payne and McKays task to fill in those records and dates with drama and excitement.
