Thankfully, the three-episode drop helps unravel the effect that will have on Middle-earth.
So, join us for our recap of the first three episodes.
And for our thoughts on this season, check out ourThe Rings of Power season 2 review.
Adar then resumes control.
However, this is Lord of the Rings and it aint that easy to finish Sauron off.
His spirit escapes and begins feeding off living beings, starting with a rat.
Galadriel informs them that she was deceived and that Halbrand is actually Sauron, much to Elronds disappointment.
However, refusing to do so, he throws himself into a waterfall with the rings.
Later that night after he is attacked by Adars followers, Halbrand enchants a wolf.
However, that masked figure is still watching the group.
Gil-galad writes a note for Celebrimbor about Halbrands true identity to be sent with haste.
However, Cirdan approaches with the rings much to Elronds dismay, whose scream leads Gil-galad to drop them.
A messenger then arrives, from the Southlands, wanting to negotiate.
And yes, you guessed it, that messenger is Halbrand a.k.a.
The shaken Galadriel shares with Gil-galad her visions and fears over Sauron.
Celebrimbor sends a messenger to Halbrand asking him to leave, but he refuses to do so.
Celebrimbor kneels before him, as Annatar says “our work begins now”.
Meanwhile that messenger the elves were sending to Celebrimbor - well, hes killed.
Disa asks for King Durins approval to “find the light” but they are struggling to uncover it.
The episode ends with Durin receiving an invitation from Celebrimbor to visit Eregion.
However, stabbing the creature, Isildur makes his escape.
We can probably assume its a mark to show that shes part of Adars army.
Miriel meanwhile uncovers the palantir, essentially a crystal ball.
Ar-Pharazon agrees saying it should be destroyed, but Miriel resists saying that they need it.
A reluctant Durin IV approaches his father and informs him about what happened in Eregion.
Annatar:At the end of episode 2 Sauron disguises himself as Annatar, the ‘Lord of Gifts’.
We have seen this before in The Fellowship of the Ring.
