Over on Twitter, Fellowship of the Fans<\/a> (FOTF) has posted some new rumours about LOTR on Prime’s series that are sure to provoke head-scratching and even more rampant theorising about the composition of the initial two episodes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Warning: these are, potentially, spoilers<\/span>. If that’s important to you, what are you even doing here? Run away!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Fellowship of the Fans’ sources:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Actor Robert Aramayo was on the production’s dwarven sets and filmed scenes with the dwarves.<\/li>
  2. Actor Owain Arthur plays an important dwarven character in the same scenes.<\/li>
  3. The dwarves wear “amazing dragon\/dragon scale armour”.<\/li>
  4. The dwarven king is said to look strikingly similar to Tormund from the HBO Game of Thrones telly series.<\/li>
  5. Scenes in the first two episodes will show dwarves climbing a mountain, or ravine, and there is an “underground pub set piece”.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    You can read the full run-down here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    However, dwarven sets? Is this cold water being tipped over the Year of the Trees<\/a> brigade? Regardless, the Valinor image still exists and it seems beyond belief that the production would lead with an image like that purely as fan catnip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Keep in mind, this is not confirmed, while the Valinor image is most certainly official.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    But it may be that that segment is shorter than we want to believe. Maybe it’s a short PJ-style prologue per Fellowship of the Rings. Because dwarves do not belong in Aman (unless it’s in Aul\u00eb’s<\/a> workshop, or your name is Gimli), and the most natural place for dwarves and elves to be seen together is Eregion and Khazad-d\u00fbm<\/a>, during the Second<\/em> Age.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    If it is Second age, the dwarven king is likely to be Durin III. Owain Arthur might be Narvi. Narvi most famously had a close friendship with Celebrimbor, but I wonder whether Celeborn might fit in there somewhere too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Food for thought.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
