**The Rings of Power** season 2 has sparked interest in a legendary figure from Tolkien’s lore: Fëanor. While the series focuses on Celebrimbor and Annatar’s quest to forge the titular rings, the connection to Fëanor runs deep.
Fëanor, a master craftsman in the First Age, is best known for creating the Silmarils – gems imbued with the light of the Two Trees of Valinor. His jealous obsession with these jewels ultimately led him to flee Valinor with his people, the Ñoldor, and swear a terrible oath to reclaim them.
In **The Rings of Power**, Fëanor’s legacy is felt through Celebrimbor, his grandson. The series reveals Celebrimbor is using Fëanor’s hammer to forge the rings, drawing a parallel between the two Elves and their penchant for creating beautiful, yet dangerous artifacts.
The use of Fëanor’s hammer foreshadows a dark future for Celebrimbor and the Rings of Power, hinting at a tragic fate reminiscent of his ancestor’s. As the season progresses, viewers are left to wonder how far Celebrimbor will stray from Fëanor’s path and if he will ultimately succumb to the same destructive desires.
