MEET THE ROYAL ELVES OF LORD OF THE RINGS EPIC TV SERIES PREQUEL THE RINGS OF POWER: BENJAMIN WALKER'S HIGH KING GIL-GALAD, YOUNG ELROND AND CELEBRIMBOR OF EREGION

 THE RINGS OF POWER SERIES 
BEHOLD THE ROYAL ELVES
Yesterday, within our spotlight on epic and period set series we can expect next Autumn, I showed you exclusive new photos of High King Gil-Galad of Elves played by Benjamin Walker in LORD OF THE RINGS: THE RINGS OF POWER epic series that hits Amazon Prime Video September 2nd, and today we will visit the Elves a bit more as I have some new photos for you.  With the story set during the Second Age of Middle-earth, thousands of years before the story we have seen in Peter Jackson's movies, there will be some familiar faces for example the immortal elves Galadriel and Elrond who are now young (although a few thousand years old which is very young for Elves). While Galadriel (Morfydd Clark) will go on an adventure as seen in the trailer for the series, Elrond (Robert Aramayo) is being mentored by Elven High King Gil-Galad (Benjamin Walker) to become the great king of the future! 

  GIL-GALAD, High King of the Elves of the West is someone that we have actually briefly seen in Peter Jackson’s Lord of the Rings movies, but he was played there by Mark Ferguson in the, as Winter Is Coming writes, opening sequence where the Last Alliance of Elves and Men battle against Sauron, and he died in the fight. Although we meet Gil-Galad in the first season in the time of peace, he’s got an elvish sense of the impending rebirth of evil, and he feels he has to protect his lands from it. Most of the Elves left
First look at Celebrimbor
Middle-earth for Elven heaven Valinor at the end of the First age, but Gil-Galad stayed because he needed to stand against Sauron who wants to become a new Dark Lord. Gil-Galad is a warrior, but also a politician who takes care of his people.

CELEBRIMBOR
We also have the first photos of Celebrimbor played in the series by Charles Edwards. He was the Elven smith who lived in Eregion, an Elf settlement close to Khazad-dûm, aka Moria, where he was learning ring lore from Sauron (under the guise of an Elf called Annatar)! In the first season, Celebrimbor is lord of the realm and is actively trying to turn Eregion into a place of excellence. And he is working with the Dwarves towards that end to try and capitalize on their talents and their creativity. He is vain, cautious, and yet gullible. His desire to create the greatest expression of craft, and surpass his father Fëanor’s legendary Jewels, opens the way for Sauron to tempt him with the secrets of ring lore. In the series he will send Elrond to the Dwarven court to court the Dwarves.

But it is now in decline and its inhabitants - mother, son and daughter - are haunted by something more ominous than a dying way of life.
