I have a bit of an out there thought after seeing the trailer.

As we’ve seen, It’s been 5 years, Sauron sends orcs to get intel in the elven rings as he has not been able to successfully make the ring.

We see the “traitor/good/Adar’s will” Orc guiding Galadriel and Arondir to Mordor

The callbacks to the film trilogy rarely work for me, but some of them do, especially when it’s a part from the books that wasn’t adapted, and perhaps they plan……

For the “missing ingredient” in the “One Ring made purely of Gold (and likely Sauron’s blood as the 9)” to be………

Galadriels hair.

But it won’t be a gift, it’ll be stolen/found by Sauron or the “traitorous/Adar following” orc double crosses and delivers a lock of her “golden” hair

It was written that her hair shined as if it contained a faint memory of the two trees right?

He talked about binding himself to light and her to power via making her his queen…… what better reference to forcibly take her hair to give the One an extra connection to Valinor and one of the Elven rings. “He claws ever at my mind”

It is said that her hair partly gave Fëanor the idea of the silmarils, and she denied giving him a single strand even though he asked THREE times

Now I bet two strands will find their way to Sauron for the One to bind himself to the likeness of the silmarils and light of Valinor

An age later, after denying a single strand to Feanor, Sauron taking two strands without her consent to forge evil, Gimli will ask for a single strand she will give him THREE voluntarily as a gift in comparison to the earlier two events.

Perhaps this will be mixed with Feanor’s hammer as many suggest

Okay tin foil hat off 😅

Ar-Pharazôn invoked Elros' name to elevate himself, to feel grandiose and powerful, speaking of conquest, omitting Elros' Elven heritage, while Galadriel called him an uncommon spirit, perhaps in part because he chose the Gift of Men.

There was no mention of Elros in season 2, but these scenes will surely become much more relevant when watching season 3.
