So, after he was refused entry to the Dwarves’ home, Khazad-dûm, Elrond invoked the Rite of Sigin-tarâg, a rock-breaking endurance test that if he lost, would leave him banished from their kingdom forever.Filming the scene was complex, Aramayo told TheWrap, due to the height differences between the elves and dwarves.“It was really, really, really fun.

But, just as she and her battalion were crossing over into the light, Clark’s Galadriel character decided to make a leap of faith (in herself, and her knowledge) and jumped into the sea to return to Middle Earth, aware her battle is far from over.“So something I really focused on with Galadriel was the guilt she was carrying,” Clark told TheWrap about the scene (you can watch her discuss the moment in the video above).

The wildly successful premiere of “House of the Dragon,” the prequel to HBO’s “Game of Thrones,” was criticized by some viewers for being a bit too overly familiar. Anyone who felt that way about the origin story of the Targaryens is likely to have a similar response to Prime Video’s “The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power,” the streaming giant’s incredibly expensive tale of the early days of Middle-earth and the characters created by J.R.R.
