Thoughts and Links to the Second Age of Middle-Earth
This posting will attempt to not have any spoilers which might ruin viewer's enjoyment of the Prime Video Series, The Rings of Power.To help with the lore and history of this new Tolkien Series the link here below will direct the reader to an Index of Tolkien's Middle-Earth Ages and Characters primarily of the First and Second Ages of Middle-Earth.I am just now beginning to watch the new series and may post the Prime Video series after it's full episodic showings along with perhaps spoiler videos. Having watched the first two episodes and only one trailer (the one further below) I believe the Ring's setting is sometime in the Second Age after having had the luxury of peace for a long while since the first defeat of the mighty dark Lord Sauron.Enjoy the Series and don't forget to link to the index immediately below to read about Middle-Earth's First and Second Ages!R.E.

PS-Since this is a process website I will introduce this relatively "new" philosophic / theologic metaphysic ahead of the index of subjects itself. Feel free to skip it until you're ready to digest the Tolkien which lies sublimely behind the page. Pages which we live out every day of our lives though we know it not.
Here, I will introduce a few simple concepts and academic terms by relevant word pictures to help the novice grasp a subject not typically thought about and only recently coming to light though it lies all about us.
Thus, my site. And thus, it's perspective. Filled with lands of resplendant vistas and hallowed glens by trying to reconcile past experiences with the new as we journey between worlds of dark and light like the elvish wanders of old rebuilding from the ruins of creation time-and-time again.

The legend begins. #TheRingsOfPower
The Rings of Power brings to screens for the very first time the heroic legends of the fabled Second Age of Middle-earth's history. This epic drama is set thousands of years before the events of J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings, and will take viewers back to an era in which great powers were forged, kingdoms rose to glory and fell to ruin, unlikely heroes were tested, hope hung by the finest of threads, and the greatest villain that ever flowed from Tolkien’s pen threatened to cover all the world in darkness.Beginning in a time of relative peace [beginning of Middle-Earth's Second Age], the series follows an ensemble cast of characters, both familiar and new, as they confront the long-feared re-emergence of evil to Middle-earth. From the darkest depths of the Misty Mountains, to the majestic forests of the elf-capital of Lindon, to the breathtaking island kingdom of Númenor, to the furthest reaches of the map, these kingdoms and characters will carve out legacies that live on long after they are gone.
