As battle takes hold of Eregion, an uneasy alliance is formed in Rings of Power Season 2 Episode 6, while Númenor tries (and fails) to get rid of its rightful queen. Last week’s episode of Rings of Power was rather unpleasant, especially after the jolly introduction to Tom Bombadil . The Stranger was nowhere to be seen, with the show focusing on three arcs: Sauron and Celebrimbor, Elendil’s struggles in Númenor, and King Durin’s becoming rather fond of his new ring.
Nothing went well: Sauron convinced Celebrimbor his behind-the-back forging corrupted the Dwarven rings, Kemen became Middle-earth Joffrey when he killed Valandil, and Disa appeared to wake up the Balrog in Khazad-dûm. Whoops! While we get a bit of time with Gandalf (sorry, The Stranger) and Bombadil this week, there’s bigger things happening in the realm – namely, the start of the Siege of Eregion. Celebrimbor struggles with rings for men We open on Arondir running through the trees, before he hears two “deserters” fleeing Adar’s base.
“Anything’s better than dying to help Adar chase a ghost,” they grumble. They try to attack him – that’s a big mistake, huge . Seconds later, he’s the only one left standing, and he even finds their map to Eregion.
Meanwhile, Celebrimbor can’t forge a decent ring of power for men. “You live not, breathe not, possess not mind nor will, what pride is woven in your inmost self that you resist my hand,” he mutters angrily, holding a failed trinke.
