"oh, but Sauron's rise to power" and all that. Only... That's basically it as far as canon goes. He "rose to power" and such... Things are just kind of quickly summarized as "having happened". Meaning that any show based on that time are basically going to end up as 95% fanfic, with 5% Tolkien garnish.

Enough happened in those years that we have the outline for those 3000 years. So we then have enough to infill. And it will probably end up being glorious.

Honestly... The Second Age is probably the most boring time to place it. Dunstan - 08/03/2019 07:33:32 PM 668 Views
