The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power
Amazon’sThe Lord of the Rings : The Rings of Powerhas introduced a large issue of young characters and chronicle element into the Second Age of J. R. R. Tolkien ’s Middle - Earth . While tying in to the aesthetic for Middle - Earth established in Peter Jackson’sThe Lord of the RingsandThe Hobbitfilm trilogies , Rings of Poweris mostly creating its own version of events , as the show ( and Jackson ’s films ) islegally barred from usingThe Silmarillion , the principal source of Middle - Earth chronicle , as source textile .
Despite criticism , Amazon ’s pullulate series has been successful enough thatRings of Poweris getting a third season , think that the curtain hiding the show ’s many mysteries will continue to be deplumate back slowly . One such mystery that has pique the curiosity of viewing audience since the outset is the significance of Theo , the young boy from the Southlands , who befriends Galadriel and Isildur . Theo ’s mother , Bronwyn , appear in the first time of year , butthe identity of Theo ’s father is still unknown inThe Rings of Power – yet more interesting than his parentage iswhat fate might befall the ambitious young son from Tirharad .
5Ancestor of Eorl the Young
Theo’s Bloodline Will Give Rise To The Kingdom Of Rohan
This theory is mostly rooted in the similarity of Theo and his mother ’s public figure tothose of the royal family of Rohan during the Third Age of Middle - Earth . Tolkien was a firm believer in the power of figure and legacies , and the writing staff forThe Rings of Powerhave worked hard to ensure the original creations of the show fit the name conventions observe in the Appendices ofThe Lord of the Rings .
Theo ’s name is clearly similar to that of Théoden King , who led Rohan during the War of the Ring until fatefully meeting his remainder at the hands of the Witch - King of Angmar . Theo ’s mother ’s name , Bronwyn , has the same postfix of that of Éowyn , daughter of Théoden , who slew the Witch - King to protect her father . Finally , when Arondir hands Bronwyn seed to plant before battle , he calls them alfirin – but finally , that industrial plant would be more widely known in Rohan as simbelmynë , a flower that grows across the burial mounds of the Kings of Rohan .
Over the centuries of mediate - earth ’s many Ages , the kingdom of Rohan has had several leaders , from Helm Hammerhead to Lord of the Rings ’ King Théoden .
The take with this theory , regrettably , isthe monolithic crack of clock time between Theo ’s lifespan and Rohan ’s founding . The Rings of Powertakes place during the Second Age , as the Rings of Power were made between S.A. 1500 and S.A. 1600 , yet Rohan was n’t founded until the year 2510 of the Third Age , near five thousand years subsequently . While it ’s possible that Theo is indeed a distant ancestor of Rohan ’s laminitis , Eorl the Young , this connection seems slight at best without more context .
4A Nazgûl
Theo Will Become A Twisted Slave To The Lord Of The Rings
The nine Men who received Sauron ’s Rings became mighty and powerful at first , rise up to great status and rich people as the Rings bolster their natural posture . Yet over time , those Rings exhaust their lives and wills aside , until they became nothing more than wraiths at Sauron ’s beck and call . Tolkien ’s legendarium never gives specific on the personal identity of the receiver of the Nine , other than stating that only three of them were Númenoreans ( although , as this is aSilmarilliondetail , it may not prove relevant toRings of Power ) .
Aside from their leader , the Witch - King , the only named Nazgûl is the second most potent , Khamûl . He was do it as the Shadow of the East , either because he had been an Easterling before his putrescence , or because he commanded Sauron ’s fortress of Dol Guldur after the Dark Lord abandoned it in T.A. 2951 .
It is possible thatTheo could finally become a Ringwraith , but as it is unconvincing a nestling would wind up with one of the Nine Rings , it seems unlikely thatRings of Powerwould take this narrative route without a clip - skipor something like to show Theo first rise to some kind of power before fall down under Sauron ’s sway . The Nazgûl , in the timeline of the ledger , did not first seem until S.A. 2251 , some six centuries after the forging of the RIngs .
3Witch-King of Angmar
Theo Will Become The Leader Of The Nazgûl And Scourge Of The Kingdoms Of The Dúnedain
While this possibility is fairly alike to the thought that Theo becomes one of the Nazgûl in general , the specific gibbosity of the Witch - King within the narrative ofThe Lord of the Ringswarrants further consideration . While all the Ringwraiths were terrible and powerful servants of Sauron , it was their drawing card , the Witch - King , who was the most dread of them all . Around T.A. 1300 , the Witch - King institute the dark kingdom of Angmar in the far N of the Misty Mountains , and worked tirelessly to destroy the remnants of the splintered Kingdom of Arnor .
The Timeline of the Witch - King of Angmar
The Nine Rings are forged
Set in the Second Age of Middle-earth, The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power explores the forging of the iconic rings, the rise of the Dark Lord Sauron, and the epic events leading up to the stories in J.R.R. Tolkien’s classic novels. The series chronicles the creation of legendary characters and the historic alliances and rivalries that shape the fate of Middle-earth.

The Nazgûl first appear

T.A. 3018
The Witch - King croak at the Battle of the Pelennor Fields
T.A. 3019
Theo becoming one of the Nazgûl would be a tragedy by any way , but his becoming the Witch - King would be particularly inauspicious . Rings of Powershows the new manconstantly drawn to the idea of might and the furnishing of darkness , and his position in time of year 2 as the Lord of Pelargir – a Númenorean settlement that eventually becomes the major port urban center of Gondor – not only shows him on the route towards gaining that baron , but also would further fire the tragedy if he were to go from ruling a Númenorean metropolis to eventually work to trounce their kingdom .
2The Mouth of Sauron
Theo Will Become A Fell Mouthpiece Of The Dark Lord
Another theory focalize on Theo ’s potential nightfall to darkness thanks to Sauron ’s use is that he will eventually become the minion known as theMouth of Sauron fromReturn of the King , who serve the Dark Lord by acting as his main courier . The Mouth of Sauron appears niggling in canon , and serve as the deliverer of Sauron ’s ultimatum to Aragorn and the assembled Army of the West in front of the Black Gate of Mordor , before the outbreak of the Battle of the Morannon .
There ’s much conjecture about which LOTR fictitious character Theo could be , but confirming these theory would continue a thwarting Rings of Power trend .
At the close of season 1 ofRings of Power , when Galadriel present her scavenged Númenorean brand to Theo , there is a import whereSauron ( in his pretence as Halbrand ) focuses on Theowith such intensity that it seems likely the Dark Lord was get the unseasoned man ’s measure . Perhaps Sauron was appraise Theo for his fitness to turn out one of the Rings he would go on to craft in the undermentioned season , or how the son would go as his marionette – but either way , Theo ’s ambition clear got Sauron ’s attending .
1King of the Dead
Theo Will Become An Oathbreaker And Condemned Soul
The most likely theory , as well as the only one with an even remotely glad ending , is thatTheo will become the King of the Deadas seen inThe Return of the King . Before earning his macabre title , the King of the Dead was jazz as the King of the Mountains , and ruled the White Mountains that lay north of Minas Tirith . Before Gondor ’s foundation , the Men of the Mountains were subjects of Sauron , butthe ascendance of the Númenoreans escort their King swear an oath of allegiance to Isildur .
When Sauron ’s army sallied out of Mordor at the end of the Second Age , Elendil and his sons formed the Last Alliance of Elves and Men to meet them . Isildur commanded the Men of the Mountains to fulfill their cuss and join the Alliance , but they refuse , and so Isildur beshrew them to never rest until Sauron was defeat permanently . Since Sauron did not actually fail at the Battle of Dagorlad , but was but discorporated and divide from the One Ring , the Men of the Mountain were fate to wither away into wraiths and consist in wait beneath the Dwimorberg .
The Lord of the Rings saw Aragorn call upon the King of the Dead , a character whose story goes back thousands of years before Return of the King .
The scourge was finally rise at the end of the Third Age , when Aragorn revealed himself as Isildur ’s Heir andcompelled the King of the Dead to fulfill his oath at long last . The Dead Men abide by , aiding Aragorn in defeat Sauron ’s ally at the mouth of the river Anduin , and it was in the ruins of the city of Pelargir that Aragorn finally released them from their three thousand years of torture .
It ’s whole possible Theo could gain more great power and find himself take up hall in the White Mountains
As the Lord of Pelargir , Theo is already connected to a part of the story of the Men of the Mountain ; it ’s totally potential Theo could gain more power and get himself take up residence in the White Mountains inThe Lord of the Rings : The Rings of Power . Theo has also developed a connexion with Isildur , as they have bonded over losing their female parent , and so narratively it would be fitting for that family relationship to break down with Theo betraying Isildur in his time of day of need .
