Rings of Power Season 3 Story Details
The forging of the rings continues
;
Since it’s a prequel, some key events will need to take place, though season 3 likely won’t be where the rise of Sauron reaches its awkward peak
Predicting the plot of Rings of power Season 3 is difficult but not impossible, and it’s a clear direction the series is headed. Since it’s a prequel, some key events will need to take place, although season 3 likely won’t be where the rise of Sauron reaches its awkward peak. Having gained possession of the nine rings of men, Sauron could now begin manipulating the leaders of men in order to do his bidding. This will eventually lead to the nine men becoming his Ring Wraiths and the eventual forging of the One Ring.
Season 3 will likely delve into the political manipulation of Sauron’s plan, though a planned five-season arc could stretch things out. Meanwhile, Galadriel’s quest for revenge against all evil will continue, and the elves will begin to establish Rivendell. Wherever Middle-earth is headed in Rings of power Season 3 is expected to be an epic ride.
