We are left to speculate about the plot based on the writings at what we’ve seen in the films-particularly the opening sequence of The Fellowship of the Ring. The Second Age is considered the dark ages in the lore. It’s during this time many of the elves flee Middle-Earth. Included in those that remain is Elrond, played by Hugo Weaving in the films. The main villain of the series may be Morgoth, Sauron’s master. It’s after Morgoth’s fall that Sauron begins his ascent to become the dark lord, and tricks the elves into making the rings of power while he fashions “The One Ring to rule them all.” As we saw in Jackson’s first installment, Isildur cuts the ring from Sauron’s hand, and it’s lost for thousands of years until Smeagol’s murderous fingers grasp it. The Hobbit begins soon after that, and then The Fellowship of the Ring follows.
