The Rings Of Power Season 3 Canon Change Connects The One Ring To The Silmarils

Because the TV show on Prime Video can only adapt the main Lord of the Rings trilogy, it relies heavily on the appendices of The Return of the King. These appendices contain information about earlier events – the First and Second Ages – though not as thoroughly detailed as in Tolkien’s The Silmarillion. This forces The Rings of Power to carefully navigate the established story, avoiding material from books they don’t have permission to use. As a result, important elements like the Silmarils haven’t been featured prominently.
