On August 29, 2024, the second season of “The Rings of Power” will return to Middle-earth. TECHBOOK author and Tolkien scholar Louisa Stoeffler met the cast in advance at a BILD event and elicited some exclusive information from them.
The highly anticipated second season of Amazon’s most expensive series is about to be released. Many are eager to find out which places in Middle-earth the actors and series creators will take us to this time in The Rings of Power. At an event organized by BILD, TECHBOOK was able to elicit some information from the actors around Charlie Vickers and confirm the introduction of an important character.
Celebrimbor and Sauron’s interactions intensify in season 2
Charles Edwards and Charlie Vickers confirmed that their characters will have a lot to do with each other in the second season. The actors discussed the extensive time they spent together on set. After the three rings for the elves, this season will see the seven rings for the dwarf rulers and the nine for the humans forged in Celebrimbor’s forge this season, as we saw in the trailer for the second season.
However, one question that many fans of The Lord of the Rings will be asking is whether we can already see the creation of the One Ring this season. These are accompanied by words spoken by Sauron, with which he reveals himself to the other ring bearers: “One ring to rule them all, to find them, to bring them all, and in the darkness bind them.”
He inscribes these words onto the ring in Elvish script and his own creation, the ‘Black Speech.’ In the works of J.R.R. Tolkien, the rulers of the Elves then remain hidden and only work their own rings in secret. When TECHBOOK asked Charlie Vickers whether he had already received language training, the actor confirmed with a mischievous grin: “When you think of Sauron, you have a certain dialect in your head. And there’s another dialect, I can say that. You can connect the dots.” Whether he is really referring to the One Ring or to Sauron’s attempts among his orcs to introduce the “Black Speech of Mordor” as a lingua franca remains to be seen.

An important dwarf makes his first appearance in the second season of “The Rings of Power”
Fans of the dwarven kingdom of Moria can also look forward to more content. Owain Arthur told TECHBOOK a little about the size of the sets that were filmed. He compared the height to the eleven-storey new Axel Springer building. There will also be scenes showing everyday life, including a market where giant snails are sold. Arthur could not say whether these are kept as pets or are intended for consumption.
But the biggest surprise came from Sophia Nomvete, who plays the dwarf princess Disa in the series. The actress talked about the fact that there will be a lot more dwarves in the second season and mentioned the name Narvi.
This is of course a familiar name to die-hard fans. In Tolkien’s works, he and Celebrimbor build the “Doors of Durin”, the entrance to Moria. He also sets the moon letters that the wizard Gandalf tries to decipher in The Fellowship of the Ring. The friendship between Celebrimbor and Narvi is renowned for being unique and extraordinary. Normally, elves and dwarves do not get on so well in Tolkien’s works. So fans who have always wondered how dwarves and elves worked together in the Second Age should get their money’s worth.
