*The Silmarillion* delves into the early history of its fictional universe, Eä, and the lands it encompasses, such as Valinor, Beleriand, Númenor, and, of course, Middle-Earth. Structured into five distinct parts, the book offers deep lore exposition, extensive historical accounts of the First Age, and summaries of the Third Age stories we know and love from *The Lord of the Rings*.

The *Lord of the Rings* franchise extends beyond literature, inspiring works in other mediums, including Monolith's game *Middle-Earth: Shadow of Mordor*, *Magic: The Gathering* crossover cards, and Prime Video's live-action series *Rings of Power*. In IGN's review of *Rings of Power* season 2, it was noted that "[season 2] does a great job portraying Sauron’s machinations and his impact on those he manipulates, but too much time is spent on disconnected subplots delivering only mediocre intrigue and thin characters."
