Re: "WIP Game" I´m curious about the fourth one “Something” (“Frühsommer Part 1 - 4“ as well, but the something could just be intriguingly anything and thus is poking my curiosity the tiniest bit more; I know I´m risking it maybe being a placeholder title but what if not ...) (IMF @inappropriatemetalfilth) 

WIP Game

Something is an impressively 160 words long snippet to what I wanted to be a larger piece about Adar's corruption and the torture he experienced under Morgoth and Sauron.

The main focus was on their different approaches and relationships with Adar. With Morgoth being on of the ainur, he is able to bend and mold flesh and his relationship with Adar is also quiet personal. (To personal for Adar's taste) Sauron doesn't have quiet as much power as Morgoth so he takes a simpler and more methodical approach, while having close to no interest in Adar as a person. I am still not sure how much time I would have covered, if I would have continued it till the second age, if it would have stayed a one shot or become something longer. It is on my discontinued list so I am not sure if I will pick it up again or maybe cover this topic in another story.

Führsommer 1 - 4 is probably my longest draft at the moment. It was an Adar/ Reader story that I began writing October of last year.

Each of the four parts is in correspondence to one of the seasons, because the story takes place over the course of a year where Adar and the reader are getting to know each it. I kinda dropped the story by now, because although I had a plot figured out, it felt more and more like various scene strung together with filler in between. The slow burn wasn't as slow burning as I wanted it to be and I also had read quiet a few Adar/ Reader stories with almost identical plot lines and that just didn't make it fun to write.

(There is also the fact that my perception of Adar has changed from his first appearance to now, so a lot of what I wrote back then no longer aligns with how his character is portrayed in the show and my own personal head canons) I might rewrite it at some point, but for the time its on ice.

@inappropriatemetalfilth , the answer from Luke Hawker on Instagram (Magrot & Fury Ûruks). So they are Grûgzûk and Vrath, congratulations ! 👏👏👏

#uruk #weprefer #uruks #Grugzûk #vrath #magrot #fury #adar #orcs #ringofpower

[niennawept]

So, please, post your Uruk research! Are any of the Uruks with names still alive at the end? I blithely named two characters Vrath and Bazur, only to discover they died. I need my two Uruk characters not to die.

Grosh (Fabio) is definitely still alive post-volcano. He's the one that only smells ashes when trying to find Galadriel and Theo.

These last three are speculative:

To the best of my knowledge, we never see Lurka die.

There is another uruk, nicknamed "Fury", who was played by the same actor after Magrot dies.

Grugzuk also does not die onscreen as far as I know.

So you have choices! Another good person to ask would be @inappropriatemetalfilth. They make a lot of excellent posts tracking uruks and might have caught something I've missed.

Or, you could just decide that for your fic they are still alive. I needed Vrath, so I gave him a convenient wound, so he wouldn't be fighting.

Thank you for asking!

"Only blood can bind" and what exactly is the deal with Waldreg?

What the heck is going on in this scene. I was pretty confused the first time I watched it and it felt somewhat out of place, so I rotated it around in my head for few months and wanted to share my thoughts in it now. (this got a little lengthy)

(Also small shootout to @inappropriatemetalfilth because one of their posts, inspired me to write this.) First things first, there were two questions that immediately came to mind when I watched this scene.

What does Adar mean when he says "Only blood can bind" and

Why does Adar pick Rowan out from the crowd to be killed and why is Waldreg the one who should kill him? Why aren't the roles reversed?

The first question is easier to answer now that I had to some times to think about it. Waldreg (the others villagers) are metaphorically binding themselves to Adar and the Uruks or rather: they are entering a sort of "alliance" or rather a treaty with them and they are binding themselves with blood, because they have to kill one of their own. This is also a way for the villagers to proof their worth to Adar's cause and show to what lengths they are willing to go to help him achieve his goals.

This is interesting when you take the later fights between the villagers and the uruks into account. I don't think Adar had the idea, at this point, to dress the deserted villagers as uruks and make them fight their own, but it was a plan he later realized in the show.

He definitely had to make sure the villagers were absolutely loyal to him and willing to harm/ kill their own kind so that I could rely and them shoulder there every be conflict between them and the group who stayed with Arondir/Bronwyn. (There is more to this, but I will get into this later on)

(Also what inappropriatemetalfilth mentioned on their post of Sauron binding Adar to himself, by blood is pretty interesting)

Why is Rowan the victim in the scenario and not Waldreg, wouldn't it make more sense for Adar to get rid of Waldreg? - Was a YouTube comment I read where the person was basically arguing that Rowan would be of more use for Adar because he is young and strong and not and old man unlike Waldreg. This sounded logically for me at the time for some reason

But the things is, I am pretty sure Rowan is a kid. I don't exactly what age Rowan and Theo are supposed to be in the show, but both seem pretty young.

It wouldn't be wise of Adar to pick him as the 'killer' here, because he is so young. Would he be even able to kill someone or be or of good use in Adar's plans, probably not. (Hes just a little guy)

It could also be very well possible that Adar picked Rowan on random or maybe even because he wanted to make it extra hard on Waldreg by having him kill a child, but that is all so speculation.

[Insert a very smooth transition into the part about Waldreg and why he is an important ally to Adar (And actually an important character in general)]

Why did Adar choose Waldreg in this scenario? - Somebody already commented this on another post, but I can't find and I am not sure how many people see it. The object Waldreg is wearing here in this picture (and throughout the entire show)

is called a torc or a torque. A neck ring that identifies its person as a person of high rank. This leads me to believe that Waldreg is the person in charge of Tirharad or has some sort of leader position. This is also indirectly confirmed in the show.

Bronwyn directly heads to his tavern and reports that Hordern had been burned down and his villagers were captured by orcs. She suggests the villagers flee to the Watchtower, but Waldreg shuts her down and nothing comes of it.

Then afterwards, once she returns and slaps the decapitated orc head on his table, he seems to give in an everyone packs their stuff, meaning he does have some sort of authority in Tirharad.

Later one, he is also the one to lead the deserting villagers to meet up with Adar and his uruks.

Once again Waldreg is taking the lead and part of the villagers are willing to follow him and join the orcs. He is also the one, who then speaks up on behalf of the other villager and addresses Adar.

The reason why Adar chooses him to be the one to kill one of his own, is because if he assures himself Waldreg's loyalty, the other villagers will probably follow suit. Waldreg is a way for him to basically control the other villagers so he needs to make sure Waldreg is reliable and willing to go to extremes for him.

Another thing you have to keep in mind, that before the "Only blood can bind" moment, Waldreg had angered Adar by calling him Sauron. - He tried to earn Adar's favour and ended up doing the opposite of that and not only endangered himself but also his people, by antagonizing Adar who has the advantage here.

And then he gives Waldreg practically the tool to redeem himself, and submit to his authority, by telling him to kill Rowan. Waldreg is forced in a position where he has to kill Rowan, to get a on good terms with Adar again and also proof that he and the villagers are of use for the uruks cause/ plans.

And there you have it, my thoughts on these scene and what it actually means for the characters and the show. Thank you for reading this far :)

(I am posting this pretty late, will check for spelling mistakes and stuff tomorrow or when I have time. Please tolerate them in the meantime. Also this:)

It seems they and Mawle really “pushed” to have that scene be so significant and the director was impressed as well but sadly “it wasn´t quite that evident in terms of the edit on the show.” (They even got back form lunch early as a group to show director Wayne Che Yip what they had come up with).

Joseph Mawle is a great actor, he gave a very special dimension to Adar and it is felt greatly , which is precisely why we already miss him terribly .

Just with Uruks' deleted scenes would have completely changed the series, what a shame...The production made a huge mistake in my opinion.

Joseph Mawle (Adar) on the “The Rings of Power” Set

Aside from this instagram post by Luke Hawker after Adar was recast [Edit or this one(x)], the uruk actors Jed Brophy (Vrath), Phil Grieve (Bazur), Luke Hawker (Magrot) &  Robert Strange (Lurka) also only had praise for Joseph Mawle in the “Nerd of the Rings” interview.
