Finally, Adar’s identity has come in front of the viewers in the newest Rings of Power episode, and it wasn’t who we had thought of earlier.
In J. R. R. Tolkien’s works about Middle-earth, and special mentioning his high fantasy novel The Lord of the Rings, The Rings of Power are imagined magical artifacts.
And now as for the viewers, Middle Earth is concerned, Rings of Power seems to be the setting for the tales that are original.
Not only does it describe the origins of well-known Hobbit and Lord of the Rings characters, but it also describes how specific locations—such as Mordor—came to be. Another origin tale, which has been hotly contested among Tolkien enthusiasts for years, is hinted at in the series’ most recent episode during the questioning that takes place between Adar and Galadriel: Orcs have a certain definition; whence did they originate?
There are two opposing points of view of arguments presented by the actors in the scene. However, it’s worth noting that they both accord with various thinking points of the Moriondor, the “sons of the dark,” and their origins.
The Moriondor And Their Origins
The Moriondor, according to one version of the story, were formerly elf children who were misled by Morgoth’s wickedness. They followed him to a mysterious tower, where he subjected them to a variety of cruel tortures until, as Galadriel alludes to, over a long period of time, evil managed able to deceive and transform them into something destroyed.
This interpretation is consistent with the idea that life could only have been genuinely created by the world’s creator god, Eru Illuvatar. Because of this, all that Morgoth and Sauron could do was alter what was already in place. In Galadriel’s words, the best they had to do was mock it.
This portrayal of the orcs later caused problems for Tolkien because of his Catholic upbringing. He thought it was a dreadful violation of God to contaminate a spirit, even being as innocent and pure as the elves. He, therefore, altered the orcs’ conception to make them more like the creatures from The Lord of the Rings.
This interpretation suggests that rather than elves, these entities may have originally been men who were poisoned. They could have also existed as a distinct animalistic species without a soul or moral sense.
This latter interpretation holds that the Moriandor was just the first of their sort to have followed Sauron and carried out his wicked will. This would imply that they could have had a different creator, similar to how Aule made the dwarves, but they weren’t completely formed until Illuvatar gave them life.
It seems that the Rings of Power series is more consistent with the original type of their history. The simple fact that Adar exists shows that they were once elves and they are capable of having civilization, independent thought, and even emotions, just as Adar begs Galadriel for. It’s going to be interesting to watch how the Amazon series’ remaining plot points are affected by resolving this heated argument among fans.
