1. Tolkien Thursday - The Official Synopsis

That Varking Podcast!

I wanted to go over the official synopsis for the show on my podcast as I find even though its been over a year since it came out, most of the people I talk to actually didn't know about it.

The official synopsis was shared originally by TheOneRing.net and can be found here.

"Amazon Studios’ forthcoming series 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, 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."

After this came out, the official Lord of the Rings on Prime twitter account confirmed it was official here.

"We’re just as excited! Here’s to visiting places never before seen and old kingdoms at the height of their glory."
