Set photos leaked from the sets at Bray Studios in Berkshire in the UK confirm that more Elven sets are indeed on the menu for season 2, with one location even teasing a reference to one of the most important characters in J.R.R. Tolkien‘s legendarium. If you zoom in closely on the set photos below, you can see a statue that seems to commemorate a former King of the Noldor, the craftsman Feanor, the Elf who crafted the Silmarils. The hammer the statue holds in one hand, while surrounded by three gems — the exact number of Silmarils — are a dead giveaway.
While Amazon can’t actually adapt material from The Silmarillion or Unfinished Tales, as the studio only has the rights to the Lord of the Rings‘ Appendices, The Rings of Power season 1 alluded to many of the events chronicled in Tolkien’s histories of the First Age. The series opened with a prologue covering the Two Trees of Valinor and the War of Wrath against Morgoth, while later episodes alluded to the fall of Gondolin and Glorfindel as well as the sinking of Beleriand. The Silmarils themselves have been referenced, and with Celebrimbor being a descendant of the House of Feanor, it would make sense for his realm to have a monument to the first of his house. Celebrimbor even uses Feanor’s legendary hammer in season 1!
Some on the internet are already speculating that the existence of the monument, as well as the other allusions to the character, could mean that a Feanor flashback is on the way for the second season. But again, that’s a tricky situation in terms of the rights to adapt the First Age material. At the moment, those rights don’t even live with Embracer Group, but with the Tolkien estate itself. The arrival of Feanor on the series will ultimately depend on whether Amazon can get special permission from the estate. For now, we’re just going to assume this monument will just exist as a fun easter egg for Tolkien fans and deft bit of worldbuilding.
