Christopher Lee in a deleted Saruman scene from The Return of the King - 2003

Despite adapting a creative change to the established lore, the second season of The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power brought to life an important time period in Middle-earth history. The Season 2 finale of the Prime Video series has brought to a conclusion the first phase of The War of the Elves and Sauron, which culminated in the destruction of Eregion. Whilst war rages in Eriador, in Rhûn, the nameless istar known only as The Stranger is revealed as the beloved Gandalf the Grey.

In J.R.R Tolkien's acclaimed lore of Middle-earth, only five wizards or istar were sent to Middle-earth, namely Gandalf, Saruman, Radagast, and the two blue wizards: Morinehtar and Rómestámo. McKay adds that the wizard of Rhûn is important to the future of the West and jolly Tom Bombadil had intimated as much to The Stranger . McKay's comments read:

Yes - The Same Blade That Wounds Sauron With the finale of the second season of Rings of Power having aired, the pieces are well and truly moving on the board all across Middle-earth and across the Sundering Seas in Númenor. Pharazôn has turned a once prosperous and just kingdom towards injustice and corruption. His reign of terror means the burgeoning romance between former Queen Regent Miriel and one-time Sea Guard Captain Elendil has taken a sour turn.
