WithAmazon ’s head already discussing the release dateforThe Rings of Power ’s time of year 2 , it seems as though the latest improver to theLord of the Ringsfranchise is here to bide . Many fans avowedly pick apart the show for its slow pacing and interpretation of Tolkien ’s traditional knowledge , but the last few instalment have proven thatThe Rings of Powermight be more exciting than anybody expected .

Like any good story , The Rings of Powerstill has several patch point that want to be answer in the finale , including The Stranger ’s identity and Sauron ’s possible emergence . With just one more sequence left until time of year 1 ’s finis , there ’s still plenty of room for wrench and surprisal , which is proceed audiences on the edge of their seat .

Will Miriel Regain Her Sight?

In the fallout of Adar ’s approach on the Southlands , Numenorian Queen Miriel revealed that she ’d lost her sight and was unable to see anything but darkness . Though she opted to keep her injury surreptitious from her the great unwashed , it ’s unlikely that she ’d be able to do this evermore .

Little is already known about Miriel from Tolkien ’s existing works , so it ’s possible that this affliction could really be permanent . It would certainly put the Numenorian ’s at a disadvantage in any coming conflicts , but her battle with deal deprivation could be an interesting route for the character .

Will Galadriel Reunite With The Elves?

The first sequence ofThe Rings of Powerdealt heavily with the complex relationship between Galadriel and the eternal sleep of her elven kind , including the renowned Elrond . Now that she ’s back in Middle - Earth , it seems probable that the time of year last will see Galadriel return to her homeland , but it ’s unreadable how her coming back will be received .

Galadriel is one of the few characters fromThe hoop of Powerthat audiences will recognize from theLord of the Ringstimeline , but that does n’t mean there are n’t still surprise in store for the powerful elf . The Rings of Powerhas made several changesfrom canon , and Galadriel ’s kinship with the pixy could easily be the next .

When Will The Rings Appear?

It seems like an obvious question consideringThe Rings of Power ’s claim , but the show has managed to steer clearly off from the titular objects up to this point . It ’s possible that audiences wo n’t actually get to see the macrocosm of the Rings themselves until next time of year , but it ’s a moment that many fans are thirstily forestall .

The inclusion of persona such as Celebrimbor and Elrond immediately confirmed thatThe Rings of Powerwould be dealing with the institution of the Rings , but the floor has been too focus on other aspect to full explore this yet . Perhaps , the finish will see this especial story come into play .

Will Sauron Appear As Annatar?

Long - time fan of Tolkien ’s works will make out that Sauron was actually imply in the creation of the Rings of Power , though he evidently would n’t be able to do this under his true identity element . Therefore , he churn up himself as a trustworthy brownie named Annatar , and worked with Celebrimbor to make the herculean weapons .

There is so much toSauron ’s story that is n’t discussed in theLord of the Ringsmovies , so many audiences will be unfamiliar with the part of Annatar . It would be hard to keep his true identity secret for a recollective time , but it could still make for a great reveal .

Will Sauron’s Plan Succeed?

For the bulk of the show , Adar has been the most crucial and present baddie that posed a serious terror to Middle - Earth . But come after his invasion of the Southlands and transformation of the city into Mordor , it seems that the way of life is set for Sauron to make his long - awaited return .

Adar is apparently Sauron ’s servant , so it ’s dependable to wear that he ’s been the one pluck the strings this whole fourth dimension . He clearly has a programme for Middle - Earth , and his creation of Mordor prove that things are exercise so far . But it is unreadable if the whole programme will fully succeed .

Will Durin Manage To Save The Elves?

Prince Durin ’s complex relationship with his Father of the Church has been one ofThe Rings of Power ’s most intriguing subplots to far , reach an volatile boiling point in time in the last sequence after the yoke clashed after discussing how the nanus can help Elrond and his people .

Lord of the Ringslore already states that he will rule over the dwarves for some time , soDurin will at least survive inRings of Poweruntil the closing of the time of year . But the Balrog reveal at the terminal of the last episode does n’t seem positive for Durin ’s future .

Where Will The Southlanders Move?

With the shocking reveal that The Southlands were actually destined to become Mordor , it seems like the humans that lived there have short determine themselves without somewhere to live . Although many human being die at the hands of the orcs , there are still plenty that need somewhere to live .

The end of The Southlands also means that Halbrand has nowhere to rule over , apparently ending his reign as the destined leader of his people . Many consultation are hoping that Numenor will be able to declare oneself aid to the Southlanders and foreclose them from growing extinct .

Who Is The Stranger?

The true identity of Daniel Weyman ’s character is yet to be confirmed , with most audiences simply come to to him as The Stranger . The show ’s hesitation to expose his substantial name seems to intimate that The Stranger is somebody important in the story of Middle - Earth , potentially even somebody that hearing will realise from Jackson ’s original trilogy .

There are plenty of names floating around aright now about The Stranger ’s honest identity , with some Tolkien fans suggesting that it could even be a fan - favorite like Gandalf , the famous wizard that was played by Sir Ian McKellen in theLord of the Ringsmovies .

Where Is Sauron?

Most audiences will know Sauran as the major scoundrel ofLord of the Rings , but the character really has a much more complex and intricate history than most are aware of . And for that rationality , many devotee believe that the true identity of Sauron is currently being kept a arcanum .

Even characters such as Adar and Halbrand have been suspected of being Sauron in disguise , which would certainly make for a vast plot twist . Halbrand in particular is one ofThe Rings of Power ’s most likable fictitious character , so disclose him to be Sauron would be a bluff surprise .

Are The Numenorians Safe?

It ’s easygoing to look to Tolkien ’s existing work for answers to these dubiousness , butThe Rings of Powerhas proven several times that it ’s unforced to include original idea and characters to keep even the most consecrated fans on their toes . With that in mind , audiences should definitely be worried about the luck of Numenor .

Sauron certainly does n’t seem like the kind of individual who would well forgive Numenor for launching an attack on his army , even if thing eventually work out in his party favour . If they ’re not careful , the Numenorians could well discover themselves the next target of Sauron ’s conquest .
