![]() When Adar heard the earth rumbling, he knew that the Numenoreans were coming for him. ‘The Rings of Power’ Episode 6: Ending Explained – Why Did Adar Want The Hilt? Why Were The Orcs Digging The Tunnels? Arondir asked him to hand over the Hilt to the Numenoreans and get rid of evil once and for all. He told Theo that it was not the kind of power he would want to possess in the long run. Arondir was well aware that such evil entities could overwhelm any living being. Theo told Arondir that whenever he held the Hilt in his hand, he felt powerful. Seeing the golden-haired “Commander of the Northern Armies” once again rekindled hope inside Arondir and Bronwyn. Adar tried to escape but was eventually caught by Galadriel and Halbrand. Galadriel and her men rode as fast as they could and arrived in Tirharad just in time. The Numenoreans had arrived to save the people of Southlands. One could feel the vibrations on the surface. But just then, the earth started to rumble. Adar took the Hilt in his hand and felt that his endeavors would now be accomplished. But Theo couldn’t see his mother being tortured in front of his own eyes. He was ready to sacrifice everything for the greater good. He threatened to kill everybody if he didn’t get it. They caught the villagers off guard and broke into their safe house. Before Arondir could grasp what had happened exactly, the real army of orcs arrived at the scene. Arondir managed to kill them all, but then realized that they were not orcs but humans instead. So instead of sending the orcs, he sent men dressed like them. He knew that Arondir would have a plan in mind. It was a symbolic act in defiance of death.Īrondir’s plan was to trap the orcs from all four sides by fire and then overpower them as their movement would be restricted. Arondir planted the seeds of Alfirin, as it was an Elvian tradition to do so before any battle. Theo, Bronwyn’s son, was petrified and didn’t know if they would see the light of the day, but Bronwyn assured him that the shadow was just a passing thing and that the light would prevail forever. They went to a nearby village named Tirharad and started making all the arrangements. It provided some time to the villagers to prepare for their next face-off. Many orcs were crushed beneath the rubble. As soon as the orcs enter the premises, Arondir makes the tower fall over them. Arondir knew that they were few in number and, in order to successfully combat Adar and his army, they would have to strategize each and every move and use the geography of the place to their advantage. The army of the orcs marched towards the tower of Ostirith, where Arondir, Bronwyn, and all the other men and women of the Southlands had taken shelter. According to him, they deserved to be treated fairly as they had endured oppression for a very long time at the hands of Sauron. In Adar’s narrative, the orcs were the victims. He wanted to give his children a permanent residence and freedom from their suffering. Adar didn’t just want to destroy the light, but he wanted the darkness to thrive. It was evidence of the fact that he didn’t treat them like unnamed slaves but as his own kin. He had named each and every orc that was a part of his army. He called them his children and urged them to find a purpose behind their actions, something which the orcs were not used to doing. He wanted them to do it with a feeling of vengeance. He didn’t want them to just mindlessly destroy Middle Earth. He was trying to make them understand the meaning of words like honor, respect, and brotherhood. Adar was trying to inculcate emotions and feelings inside the heartless, evil creatures. It was not common for the orcs to treat someone with such reverence. The army of the orcs was ready to wreak havoc on the Southlands under the leadership of Adar. So, let’s see what Episode 6 has to offer and what it tells us about the intentions of the evil powers at play. In “The Rings of Power,” there are moments that are exhilarating, but they are so fragmented and brief that they fail to rise to a crescendo. It kept you engrossed and made you feel that it was not just about winning or losing, but everything was a part of a bigger plan. The battle sequence, for me, lacked the buildup and the symbolic approach that were characteristic features of the films. Though I really admired the direction of the action sequences, I was somehow let down by the details themselves. The war sequence of “The Rings of Power” takes me back to the battle of Helm’s Deep, shown in “The Lord of the Rings” trilogy. The Numenoreans were on their way, while Arondir and Bronwyn were trying their best to hold back Adar and his army. The sixth episode of “The Rings of Power,” titled “Udun,” once again takes us to the Southlands, where the army of shadows was going to clash with the flag bearers of light.
