What this new clip from The Rings of Power means for the rest of season 2
The Battle of Eregion looms
Like trailers and the end of The rings of power Season 2 Episode 6 Teaser Episode 7 will feature the start of the battle for Eregion. Adar’s forces have gathered around Eregion, and the final moments of Episode 6 have catapults carrying massive burning masses towards the city. While an epic battle is seemingly on the way, The above clip suggests that the rest of The rings of power Season 2 also won’t lose its focus on quieter, more human moments.

Crucially, this clip establishes the forging of the last nine rings of power for humans. At this point in history, the rings for dwarves and elves had already been forged and, Although he was initially reluctant to make rings for humans, Celebrimbor is set to finish his work before season 2 is complete. This raises the question, however, of whether the One Ring will be forged before season 2’s credits roll or if audiences will have to wait until The rings of power Season 3 to see Sauron finally become his darkest form.
Our take on Celebrimbor’s clarity in Rings of Power Season 2 Episode 7
Celebrimbor had a rough Season 2
Celebrimbor spent much of season 2 with a veil over his eyes, essentially serving as Sauron’s puppet. Although this speaks to Sauron’s growing power and his capacity for deception, It will be refreshing to see Celebrimbor emerge from under his shadow, at least to some degree.
Season 2 has already shown the corrupting power of the rings, and the creation of the nine for humans is sure to only plunge Middle-earth further into darkness. While the Battle of Eregion is likely to be devastating, the show is currently setting itself up for an even more difficult future heading into the potential Rings of power Season 3.
