The Silmarillion explores the ancient history of the fictional universe Eä, encompassing Valinor, Beleriand, Númenor, and Middle-Earth. Divided into five parts, it delivers deep lore, detailed accounts of the First Age, and summaries of Third Age tales familiar from The Lord of the Rings.

The Lord of the Rings universe extends beyond books into other media, including Monolith’s Middle-Earth: Shadow of Mordor game, Magic: The Gathering crossover cards, and Prime Video’s Rings of Power series. In IGN’s review of Rings of Power season 2, we noted, “It excels in depicting Sauron’s schemes and their impact, but spends too much time on disconnected subplots with lukewarm intrigue and shallow characters.”
