The Lord Of The Rings: The Rings Of Power - 11 Things We Expect To See

11. War Against Sauron

The wars fought against Sauron may feature in the series, especially with the Last Alliance between Elves and Men confirmed down the line. Not only is the series focusing on the forging of the rings of power and everything that came after, but some confirmed cast and characters also point to major events they took part in.

Characters such as Numenorian King Elendil and Elven High King Gil-galad, major players in the war, were reported to be part of the cast. This means that the Sack Of Eregion is also likely being portrayed onscreen, the first time Sauron throws away any subtlety and hidden agendas and gathers his forces from Mordor to invade a major Elven territory under the Noldor Elves.

Commonly known as The War of the Elves and Sauron, it includes Elrond trying and failing to come defend Eregion, and the capture and death of famous Elven smith Celebrimbor, who alongside the Gwaith-i-Mírdain (great Elven smiths among the Noldor) created all the rings of power except the One Ring.

It's an exciting and dark time for Middle Earth and would certainly make for good television if they can swing it.
