Celebrimbor (Charles Edwards) and Elrond (Robert Aramayo) and a whole lotta rings

It took Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power an entire season to get any hint of rings. It makes sense that the Prime Video series would take a while to get to this point since casual J.R.R. Tolkien fans know what the rings bring.

A new clip from the season finale, which was revealed by Vanity Fair, shows that while we may not see any actual finger bling in season one, it is definitely on the way. It will happen soon. It's urgent soon.

Is there one thing for all Middle-earth? Something small that could be carried, even by, let's say, a Bilbo, and made in a circular form that would allow the light to return to itself in one round, building to a power that is all but unbounded.

Our time is short and we need to gather the Elven-smiths. The first season of The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power will premiere at midnight on October 14.
