This new Amazon play is the first time to show the legendary heroic legends of the second era in Middle-earth. Set thousands of years before Tolkien's "the Hobbit" and "the Lord of the Rings", this new drama will lead the audience back to that time: powerful forces forged, the kingdom rose to dust, and unexpected heroes were put to the test. Hope hangs on the line, and Tolkien's most powerful opposition is to darken all worlds. The show begins in a relatively peaceful period, focusing on a group of characters-both familiar and unfamiliar-to face the long-standing fear that evil has returned to the Midlands. From the darkest depths of the misty mountains, to the magnificent forests of Linton, the capital of elves, to the exciting island of Numenor, to the farthest places on the map. The legends that these kingdoms and figures will open up will still be celebrated long after they have left.
