Explanation of Resources

by R.E. Slater

RESOURCE 1 - VID LIBRARY

I chose video-author "Nerd of the Rings" for his full historical overviews of Tolkien's Middle-Earth which histories are viewable here. On that link you will find a vast library of short videos explaining Tolkien's Middle-Earth.

Below, however, will be all things related to "The Rings of Power" which are not from Tolkien's pen but are speculative stories based upon Tolkien's incomplete histories of the First and Second Ages of Middle-earth.

In essence then, I have developed two indexes... one index related to Tolkien and the other index here to derivatives works from Tolkien's writings imagined in Prime Video's film series of "The Rings of Power." Enjoy.

RESOURCE 2 - WRITTEN LIBRARY

I have created an even fuller list of Middle-Earth articles over the past month to further assist in understanding Middle-Earth's vast fictional histories. This will include:

my take on Christian process philosophy and theology including relevant indexes related to that subject. Like Tolkien's writings, this is the subject matter which has captivated me to invest ten years of updating a Christianity which has become radically out-of-date with its source, Jesus, requiring its deconstruction and reconstruction on better grounds than it has had traditionally.

Next, there will be found a very full list of Tolkien's legendarium which I felt is related to "The Rings of Power" (Ages 1 and 2 of Middle-Earth); and finally,

An Index of five (5) videos discussing Tolkien's Middle-Earth from a contemporary Intersectional-Process view through a series of podcasts hosted by Homebrewed's Tripp Fuller.

RESOURCE 3 & 4 - THE RINGS OF POWER

The NO SPOILERS introductory link on the Rings of Power is linked here.

Here, on this site today, with the help of "Nerd of the Rings" we will complete Prime Video's remake of Tolkien's Second Age of Middle-Earth, The Rings of Power week to week. as they come out. Enjoy!

The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power

Official Trailer | Prime Video

Jul 14, 2022

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.

I chose video-author "Nerd of the Rings" for his historical overviews of Middle-Earth. Here, on this page I've tweaked the main lists to jive chronologically with Tolkien's dates. Otherwise, all sub-lists are as the video-author intended. Many thanks to his efforts and the help they may provide to traveller's journeying through Tolkien's vast lands and legends of Middle-Earth!

By Nerd of the Rings

Sharing a passion for all things Tolkien! On Nerd of the Rings, I'll post videos explaining characters and concepts from Middle-earth history, map the travels and events, gaming, Amazon's Rings of Power series ( #LOTRonPrime ), and more!

If you love the Hobbit, The Lord of the Rings, the Silmarillion, the books, the movies, the music - any and all of Middle-earth, please subscribe and join me in this adventure. I am honored to share this love of Tolkien with such excellent and admirable hobbits!
