The Rings of Power is rapidly drawing to a close on Prime Video, with two episodes left to go. Aside from the promise of a beautiful expansion of Middle-earth as we know it from books and films, this show exposes folks who have never read the works of J.

Eregion's fate is decided in a new episode of "The Lord of the Rings: Rings of Power" available to stream on Thursday, September 26.
