The Silmarillion delves into the early history of its fictional universe, Eä, and the realms within it, such as Valinor, Beleriand, Númenor, and, of course, Middle-Earth. Structured in five distinct parts, this book offers readers a rich tapestry of lore exposition, detailed historical accounts of the First Age, and summaries of the beloved Third Age stories, including The Lord of the Rings.
The Lord of the Rings franchise has expanded into various other mediums, including Monolith's acclaimed game Middle-Earth: Shadow of Mordor, crossover cards in Magic: The Gathering, and the live-action series Rings of Power on Prime Video. In IGN's review of Rings of Power season 2, they noted, "[Season 2] does a great job portraying Sauron's machinations and his impact on those he manipulates, but too much time is spent on disconnected subplots delivering only mediocre intrigue and thin characters."
