*The Silmarillion* delves into the early history of the fictional universe Eä, encompassing lands such as Valinor, Beleriand, Númenor, and, of course, Middle-Earth. Divided into five parts, the book offers deep lore exposition, detailed historical accounts of the First Age, and summaries of the Third Age stories that fans of the Lord of the Rings will recognize and love.

The Lord of the Rings franchise extends beyond literature, with adaptations into other mediums such as 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, 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."
