*The Silmarillion* delves into the early history of its fictional universe Eä and the various lands within it, such as Valinor, Beleriand, Númenor, and the iconic Middle-Earth. Organized into five distinct parts, the book offers deep dives into the lore, extensive historical accounts of the First Age, and summaries of the Third Age stories familiar to fans, including the *Lord of the Rings*.

The *Lord of the Rings* franchise has expanded into various other media, including Monolith's game *Middle-Earth: Shadow of Mordor*, crossover cards in *Magic: The Gathering*, and Prime Video's live-action series *Rings of Power*. In IGN's review of *Rings of Power* season 2, they noted, "[season 2] does a great job portraying Sauron’s machinations and his impact on those he manipulates, but too much time is spent on disconnected subplots delivering only mediocre intrigue and thin characters."
