The Rings of Power: Who Is The Dweller And Why Is He Following The Stranger?

There are no more mysterious characters in The Rings of Power than The Dweller, The Nomad, and The Ascetic, who are three figures traveling together who look out over the crater that was formed when The Stranger fell into Middle-Earth. By this point in the story, it’s not known who or where Sauron is, how he’s going to get back, or who all of his allies are, but there are many theories about it and they point to characters like Halbrand and The Stranger, who was found by the Harfoots. and he seems to have great power and at least a bit of darkness within him.

But chapter 5 of the series introduced an even more mysterious character, with a strange appearance that led many to believe that it was Sauron or at least one of his most faithful followers. The scene in question shows a type of shaved elf, with a veil and blue eyes, played by Brirdie Sisson, who is accompanied by a warrior species with red hair and a woman who is carrying a shield with the symbol of the constellations that The Stranger is searching. Not much has been revealed about these characters and their intentions, but they seem to be up to no good.

The Rings of Power: Who Is The Dweller And Why Is He Following The Stranger?

The Dweller, The Nomad (Edith Poor) and The Ascetic (Kali Kopae) have been traveling together for a long time and, according to Time magazine, they come from the lands of Rhûn to the east of Middle-Earth, which is a place that appears in Tolkien’s stories and has connections to Sauron. It is said that all the races of this world arose near that place, but eventually, most leave that area and only the men who are known as the Easterlings remain, who later become Sauron’s allies and fight in his army. Also, it is believed that this is the place where the Blue Wizards disappeared and this matters because The Stranger may be one of them.

But who exactly are these three female travelers searching for The Stranger? Inverse points out that they could be part of a kind of cult of Sauron (which is a religious cult made up of men who were convinced to follow Morgoth and operate in secret), who could believe that The Stranger is the Dark Lord himself, who he is an expert at shapeshifting and in The Rings of Power timeline he adopts a different identity, that of Annatar, so he can get close to Celebrimbor and manipulate him into creating the rings.

One possibility is that The Dweller is Sauron, who has not yet become the Dark Lord, but already shows physical signs of the influence that the darkness has over him, but if this is the case, why does he want Sauron? The Stranger? Another possibility is that The Dweller and his companions are part of that supposed cult of Sauron, so they are looking to The Stranger to find their master and help him carry out his macabre plans, making sure he gets what he needs to achieve it.

Finally, another possibility is that these three travelers have a mission similar to that of Galadriel, which is to try to prevent darkness and evil from growing on Middle-Earth, which means that they are looking for the man with the meteorite to discover if he It’s about Sauron and being able to stop him before it’s too late. They may have noticed the falling meteorite and understood it to be a sign of things to come, so they must search for the person inside as part of a plan to protect the world. It is too early to know what is going to happen, but it is clear that the battle between good and evil has already begun and that these 3 characters could play a very important role.
