Definitely giving Shire & Mirkwood vibes for me. The shimmer settles quickly, so there's an ombre effect as you go with each dip of the pen.

(My migraines & sun allergy keep me from protesting in summer desert heat, but I'm still angry as hell. If Trump wants to act like Saruman, we'll be the Ents. Us queer folk can be bEnts for good measure. Proud of my city protesting even if I can't be there.)

The vale revealed at the finale's end is where Imladris will be built. In the books, Elrond is able to escape because of backup from the Dwarves of Khazad-dûm. We'll have to see how relations mend in Season 3.
Thank you for following this Master Thread for Season 2!

Nothing brings me more joy than seeing Elves be sassy in adaptations. Tolkien wrote the Elves in The Lord of the Rings as having a sense of humor. Gil-Galad giving sass to his Auntie Galadriel gives me LIFE.

Love that we get to see Sauron actively use his shape-shifting ability! One background detail is that there is Ogham writing on the stones in the aftermath. I can't read it, but if anyone knows what it translates to, please share!
Whatcha gonna do with Fëanor's hammer in S3, Sauron? Hmm???

Look, I know you all wanna know, but with all the reverb, I can't parse this bit. I can only pick out things like Altáriel (the Quenya version of Galadriel's name)
🌱"Galadriel: by the light of the Elder King, I command all darkness to depart from thee..."

🍃Le hen absenin. - (lit. "You this I forgive.") "I forgive you."
Poignant that Adar has the appearance of a Noldo but deems his original name unimportant. He was likely of the Tatyar (2nd kindred of Elves), whether he was captured before or after leaving Cuiviénen.

🍃Mellon. - "Friend."
Also, a moment of appreciation for the heartrending moment Sauron realizes he just killed the only one who truly understood him, simultaneously sealing his own fate.
He never called himself "Sauron" in-book. The "many names" refrain = ongoing identity crisis.

They're just trying to save Galadriel and refugees at this point!

The notice being posted about Míriel being in league with Sauron, but because it's too far away from the camera, I'm unable to read it clearly.
Perhaps someday the props department will give us proper pictures. (I can dream, okay?!)

Celebrimbor, when insisting Galadriel take the rings and run while he goes back to certain doom with Annatar/Sauron, says the iconic Quenya farewell:
🌱Namárië.

🍃Naithon egel Rúmil gen. - (lit. "I lament strangely your Rúmil.") Subtitle: "Have you forgotten your Rúmil?" Adar is saying it's a strange pity, like he could mockingly weep with disappointment.
🍃Avgaro auth ui di oroth. - (lit. "Make-not war ever with rage.") "Never make war in anger."

🍃Amarth. - (lit. "Fate.") "No."
I may have misheard the last, but it's a rather artistic way to express disbelief and/or call upon Fate to aid in a time of need.

gwo "together" + gwais "kinship" seems such a stretch from Gnomish! 😅

"You have the beauty of your foremother, Melian of the Valar." Adar references Melian, the Maia who fell in love with Thingol (Elf) in Doriath. Her daughter, Lúthien was therefore half-divine. She wed a mortal man (Beren) and was Elrond's great-grandmother.
Elrond's ancestry's BONKERS tbh.
