In season 2, "The Rings of Power" explores Rhûn, introducing unique Easterling characters and tying their fate to the broader narrative of Middle-earth's history.
While Tolkien described Easterlings as having turned to evil under Sauron's dominion, the second season of Rings of Power reveals their origins pre-dating his arrival.
The series presents new Easterling characters, like horse-riding "trackers," echoing traditional depictions but also adding layers of complexity and depth to their backstory.
The Dark Wizard, a new character in the narrative, suggests that there are still darker forces in play, shaping the fate of the Easterlings in Rhûn.
