The Rings of Power | Partings

While protecting Nori and the other Harfoots from a wolf pack, the stranger's use of magic injures his own arm. As he heals it using conjured ice, Nori attempts to help him but accidentally connects to his mind, blasting and frightening her away with a shockwave. In Númenor, Galadriel convinces Halbrand to join the expedition to Middle-earth after retelling her battles and losses against Sauron. At the same time, Kemen, son of Pharazôn, attempts to destroy the expedition ships, believing Galadriel and Míriel will take the fall and allow Pharazôn to rise to power with the people's support. However, he is caught by Isildur, who is rewarded with a spot on the expedition crew. In Lindon, Gil-galad reveals to Elrond his knowledge of and intention to use the Dwarvish mithril to extend the existence of the Elves. Elrond admits this discovery to Durin, and they return to Khazad-dûm to try to convince King Durin. In the Southlands, half of the townspeople cave into Adar's demands and join him, believing him to be Sauron. Theo shows the broken sword to Arondir, who realizes it is a key to help warp the Southlands into Sauron's realm of evil. Seeing their watchtower as a target, the remaining townspeople prepare for battle against the approaching Orc army.
