The Rings of Power: Adar is an Uruk! But what does that mean?

Since the mysterious character Adar in the Amazon series The Rings of Power appeared, it was absolutely clear that this was the corrupted elf is about a dark fellow. But what it is exactly has been up for debate for a long time. episode 6 to the prehistory Lord of the Rings however, provides new information.

Should you prequel series on the video-on-demand channel primevideo haven’t watched to Episode 6 yet, or you’re even waiting until the complete First Season was published, then we advise you at this point not to read any further, since Spoilers for the latest episode follow, which may spoil the joy of puzzles for you.

The Rings of Power: What Exactly is Adar?

Who and what exactly is this Adar? Visually, it’s easy to guess that he’s actually a Elbe is, but how and why did he have himself Sauron connected? Does he serve that Maia? Does he pursue his own goals? He created the orcs or is he in a way one himself? So many questions on the Amazon series so far few answers delivered.

One of them was now brought to light in the sixth episode, because here recognizes Galadriel in Adar one of the first Elves corrupted by Morgothwhereupon she takes the figure as orc designated. However, Adar himself states that he used the designation Uruk preferred, but only in a way even more questions raises.

For the word Uruk means in the Black Speech Mordor’s none other than orc. Therefore, Sauron’s ally may only present itself as a Part of that race or army sees or wants to emphasize whose allegiance belongs. Noisy tolkien Morgoth once transformed Elves through torture in orcs, so maybe the answer lies there as well.

It is possible that the Elb, although externally still his original race matches, but otherwise no longer has any matches with it. Because of elves who willingly attached to Morgoth have and acted on his behalf, there have been no records so far. Although it is of course possible that the Amazon series is here some liberties permitted.

Also, Adar is not allowed to use the Uruk-hai be confused, in which he was a hybrid of different beings, which only in the Third Age used by Sauron. Of course, fans already know these from the famous Peter Jackson trilogywhere they example against Helm’s Deep went to war.

In the film adaptations, we also learn that the Wizard Saruman the orcs with goblin people crossed, making them more resilient and resistant to sunlight. Also these were variants bigger, stronger and more brutal than the normal orcs and of course no less scary and ruthless.

However, whether this was really the procedure with which the Uruk-hai were created cannot be reliably clarified. It is entirely possible that they are made of goblin men, one Hybrid of humans and orcswere created, but also that they are made from corrupted men or elves bred.

So maybe Adar could also be the result of the Crossbreed of an elf and a goblin man orcs, respectively, which makes him, in his own eyes, an Uruk as well. But whether this is actually true, we will probably only find out in the coming episodes of “The Rings of Power”. If any.

By then everyone is too the other theories nothing more than guessing games. For example, some fans assume Adar might the creator of the orcs be there his name on Sandarin as much as Father means. That would also be his so far undisputed role as leader of the orcs explain, even if there are certainly plenty of other good reasons for it.

Incidentally, the seventh episode will be released on October 07, 2022 published, so again as usual on a Friday.
