Numenor and Miriel
A huge focus of The Rings of Power season one is the tension between races, especially men and elves. In Númenor, Galadriel is treated like a prisoner until she convinces Queen Regent Miriel (Cynthia Addai-Robinson) to team up and head to the mainland to retake the Southlands. But some Númenórean senators are unhappy with this decision, and by the end of season one, it’s clear that this is going to become a problem for Miriel going forward. After the horrific battle at Mordor, Elendil (Lloyd Owen) thinks his son Isildur (Maxim Baldry), the very same Isildur who eventually is corrupted by a ring of power, is dead, and Miriel is blind. The future of Númenor and the relationship between men and elves hangs in the balance.
