LOTR: Rings of Power's Elves & Humans Conflict Explained by Star
The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power star Tyroe Muhafidin explains the tensions between Elves and humans during the Second Age of Middle-earth. Amazon's highly anticipated adaptation is based on the works of J.R.R. Tolkien and developed for television by J. D. Payne and Patrick McKay. The Rings of Power takes place thousands of years before the events of The Hobbit or The Lord of the Rings, during a relative time of peace known as the Second Age.
The show will transport audiences back to a time long before the Dark Lord Sauron rose to power and almost took over Middle-earth. During the Second Age, the continent is still reeling from the war against Morgoth, the first Dark Lord. While Rings of Power features a few familiar entities like the Elves Galadriel (now played by Morfydd Clark) and Elrond (played by Robert Aramayo), the show has also created a ton of new characters to help explore the world's vast history, including the Silvan Elf, Arondir (Ismael Cruz Cordova), who has a forbidden love for Bronwyn (Nazanin Boniadi), a human healer from the village of Tirharad. Bronwyn has a young son named Theo, who is played by Tyroe Muhafidin and has been seen in trailers wielding a broken black blade.
