10 Small Details You Missed In The Lord Of The Rings: The Rings Of Power Trailer

10. That Mountain Says A Lot

The opening shot of The Rings of Power trailer showcases a land often spoken about but never revealed in the LOTR movies, Numenor. This star-shaped island was populated by the greatest Men in all of Arda (including the one who defeated Sauron, Isildur).

The Argonaut-like statue watching over the city is most certainly Elrond's brother, Elros, who founded the city and served as its first king. Even though Numenor was a proud land for generations, the people were eventually corrupted by The Dark Lord, prompting the Maiar spirits to sink the island into the sea.

Although the teaser never states what land this is, eagle-eyed viewers knew it was Numenor after recognising the mountain in the background. According to The Silmarillion, there's a mountain in Numenor's centre called Menaltarma. Because of its flat and broad summit, the people regularly used the mountain peak for special gatherings. Since the mountain in this shot has a flat top, there is no question this is the great city of Numenor. (The filmmakers also have to be commended for making the mountain look book-accurate for a shot that lasts a few seconds.)
