Amazon ‘Lord of the Rings’ series set in Sauron’s Second Age, Atlantis-esque Numenor explained LOTRonPrime

An interactive map of Middle-Earth tied to the Amazon Lord of the Rings series depicts a lost continent which could indicate when the show will be set: in the age before the Lord of the Rings movies and novels, depicting the events that culminated in the battle with Sauron when the One Ring first found its way to the realms of men and hobbit.

A map of Middle-Earth released by Amazon points to the setting for their"Lord of the Rings" series. Amazon Númenor was an island magically raised from the sea and gifted to the race of Men. It was during the Second Age that men first sailed from Númenor and began populating Middle-Earth. As the power of the Númenóreans grew, a threat rose in Middle-Earth, as the Dark Lord Sauron tricked elven smiths to forge the One Ring. Sauron quickly overtook the kingdoms of the elves and the Númenóreans came to their aid, pushing back the armies of darkness.

The sunken Númenor became known, appropriately enough, as Atalantë. Only nine ships escaped to form the kingdoms of men in Middle-Earth. The descendants of the Númenóreans became the Dúnedain, which suggests rumors of an Aragorn series were half-right: the Amazon Prime series will likely feature Aragorn’s ancestors.
