*The Silmarillion* delves into the early history of its fictional universe, Eä, and the various lands it encompasses, such as Valinor, Beleriand, Númenor, and the iconic Middle-Earth. The book is divided into five distinct parts, offering readers deep lore, extensive historical accounts of the First Age, and summaries of the Third Age narratives we cherish, including those from *The Lord of the Rings*.

The Lord of the Rings franchise has expanded into various other mediums, including Monolith's acclaimed game *Middle-Earth: Shadow of Mordor*, crossover cards in *Magic: The Gathering*, and Prime Video's live-action series *Rings of Power*. In IGN's review of *Rings of Power* season 2, they noted, "[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."
