Amazon’s epic “The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power” series finally staged its first massive battle in episode six, “Udun,” but one moment of dialogue was more revelatory than the eruption of Mount Doom. The quiet confession of dark elf Adar (Joseph Mawle) sent shockwaves through the fandom. As his backstory comes into focus, it confirms long-debated details of J.R.R. Tolkien’s Middle Earth mythology while raising major questions about Sauron.
After a major showdown between the forces of orcs and men, Galadriel (Morfydd Clark) interrogates her new prisoner Adar. Galadriel mentions stories she heard as a child of the Morinedor, or “sons of the dark.” These were elves captured by Morgoth, tortured and corrupted until they became a new race entirely: the first orcs. Or “Uruks,” as Adar notes is the preferred name for his kind.
