Découvrez le fascinant univers de Tolkien sur Prime Video.

Introduction:

J.R.R. Tolkien’s complex and intricate timeline has paved the way for various adaptations in the world of Middle-earth, with recent projects like The Rings of Power and War of the Rohirrim gaining popularity.

The Creation Of Eä

Tolkien’s world comes complete with a complex creation story, which saw the supreme god Eru Ilúvatar create the universe known as Eä. So far, these events have not been depicted in a Lord of the Rings movie or TV series, though it would certainly make for an interesting adaptation.

Years Of The Trees & The First Age

The Ages of Middle-earth began when the first Elves woke up on this continent. The First Age spanned about 5,000 years, and a great deal happened during this time. This is when Melkor—who became known as Morgoth—rose to power and challenged his fellow Valar in war and when the Elf Fëanor created the Silmarils.

The Second Age Of Middle-Earth

The Second Age of Middle-earth spanned 3,441 years and is when Prime Video’s The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power is set. This is when Sauron began his return to power and created the Rings of Power by deceiving the Elves of Eregion, including Celebrimbor.

The Third Age Of Middle-Earth

The Third Age of Middle-earth spans 3,021 years and is when Jackson’s Lord of the Rings trilogy, The Hobbit, and The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim is set. Chronologically, the 2024 animated movie comes first, with the events of War of the Rohirrim taking place about 2,740 years into the Third Age.

The Fourth Age Of Middle-Earth

The peaceful Fourth Age began after Sauron’s defeat, ushering in the reign of King Aragorn and the eventual migration of the Elves. The length of this age is unknown, but a few hundred years worth of the events after The Lord of the Rings were recorded by Tolkien, some of which were shown in Jackson’s trilogy.
