*Turkish dub

The new season picks up exactly 7 years after the events of season two. By that point, the conflict between the Elves and Sauron has reached its peak. Watching from his tower in Mordor, Sauron sees victory drawing near and plans to complete the forging of the One Ring to rule over Middle-earth. The inscriptions on the Ring igniting signal that the Dark Lord is ready for conquest, sorcery and kingship.
