And in the first three episodes of season 2, we\u2019re already getting a look at the mysteries of Rh\u00fbn and the origins of last season\u2019s strangest antagonists.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">[<strong>Ed. note:<\/strong> This piece contains spoilers for the first three episodes of <em>The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power<\/em> season 2.]<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/rings-of-powers-masked-riders-are-playing-with-a-messy-tolkien-legacy-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" data-has-syndication-rights=\"1\" data-caption=\"\" data-portal-copyright=\"Photo: Ben Rothstein\/Prime Video\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">Episode 2, \u201cWhere the Stars Are Strange,\u201d formally begins to introduce Rh\u00fbn and its people \u2014 or at least the ones who live closest to the more known regions of Middle-earth.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">First up are some horse-riding \u201ctrackers,\u201d whose fearsome metal masks and desert-ready dress are certainly reminiscent of the Easterling soldiers depicted in Peter Jackson\u2019s Lord of the Rings trilogy. \u201cEasterling\u201d was Tolkien\u2019s term for any humans living east of Mordor, so technically, regardless of how they dress, all humans in Rh\u00fbn are Easterlings.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">After he set up shop in Mordor in the Second Age, Sauron pushed his empire eastward when he couldn\u2019t push westward, finding the conquering much easier in that direction, with no elven strongholds and fewer wizards to oppose him. Tolkien\u2019s texts describe Easterlings as having lived under Sauron\u2019s dominion for so long that they couldn\u2019t help turning to evil even after his overthrow \u2014 among the more overt <a href=\"https:\/\/www.polygon.com\/lord-of-the-rings\/22661485\/lord-of-the-rings-september-11-christian-evangelical-protest-harry-potter\">xenophobic and Orientalist<\/a> aspects of the writer\u2019s work.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\"><em>Rings of Power<\/em> season 2 takes place before Sauron ever came to dominate their lands, but it seems these Easterlings have got another shifty magic guy in residence: the Dark Wizard, as he\u2019s called in the credits, played by Ciar\u00e1n Hinds. The leader of the Easterling group offers the Wizard a trade: He\u2019ll capture the mysterious Istar (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.polygon.com\/lotr-rings-of-power\/445177\/lord-rings-powers-who-stranger-season-2-tom-bombadil-interview\">the Stranger<\/a>) wandering Western Rh\u00fbn, and the Wizard will heal the \u201ccurse upon our flesh.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">What is that curse? Unclear! It\u2019s an idea that seems to be unique to <em>Rings of Power<\/em>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">Who is the Dark Wizard? Also unclear. What we can tell is that he appears to be in charge of the mysterious white-robed figures <a href=\"https:\/\/www.polygon.com\/23365209\/lord-rings-power-white-robe-character-sauron-dweller-nomad-ascetic\">who sought out the Stranger in season 1<\/a>. He sure looks like a classic Tolkienian wizard, but he doesn\u2019t talk about the Istari (an elven word for \u201cwizards\u201d) as if he\u2019s one of them. Whether that\u2019s because he isn\u2019t one, or because he wants everyone to <em>think<\/em> he isn\u2019t one remains to be seen. What else can we say about him? Well, his stronghold\u2019s name is Caras Gaer. \u201cCaras\u201d is an ancient elven word likely meaning \u201cfortress,\u201d while \u201cgaer\u201d means \u201cdread.\u201d So we know he\u2019s good at branding.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">Is this guy actually a wizard? If he is, is he one we know, like Saruman or either of the Blue Wizards? If he isn\u2019t\u2026 what\u2019s his deal then? And what does this mean for the future of these Easterling trackers and their curse? That\u2019s for the rest of <em>Rings of Power<\/em> to show us, as it wrestles with Rh\u00fbn, an area of Tolkien\u2019s canon that\u2019s both wide open for interpretation and could really use some modern recontextualization.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.polygon.com\/lotr-rings-of-power\/445809\/trop-rhun-dark-wizard-tolkien-ciaran-hinds\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In its second season, The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power is moving to locations and time periods that J.R.R.
