On the one hand, it's very cool to see another little nod to a place Tolkien fans have seen before in The Rings of Power. This event is a major battle in the War of the Last Alliance, where Sauron is separated from his One Ring and things get quiet until the events of The Hobbit. That fight, known as the Battle of Dagorlad, doesn't happen until almost the very end of the Second Age. The reason this spot on the map is knows as the Grey Marshes in The Rings of Power and not the Dead Marshes is pretty simple - the war that ended in all of those bodies taking residence in the marshes hasn't happened yet. Gollum then saves Frodo from becoming one of the "candles" alight in the marsh, earning a little more of Frodo's trust. In these scenes, Gollum warns not to touch the water because the spirits of the long dead in the marshes will try to pull you down and join them.
In the Peter Jackson films, Frodo is seen being led through the Dead Marshes by Gollum on the way to Mordor. Only, in the Third Age, they're known as the Dead Marshes. During this travel montage, there's a brief stop in a place called the Grey Marshes where a caravan gets stuck for a moment.įor those who have read or watched The Lord of the Rings, you've seen these marshes before.
FRODDO LOTR SERIES
Shortly after, Poppy starts to sing a song to make the migration more pleasant and we see a little more of the "travel by map" this series is becoming known for. In episode five, Nori takes a moment to explain to The Stranger that this migration to a place called The Grove is something their people do regularly.
We know from the end of episode three that Nori has conscripted The Stranger into helping push their caravan from the back so her father Largo doesn't break something else trying to keep up with the rest of the Harfoots in this migration.
