From the moment Galadriel (Morfydd Clark) saw fit to forge three powerful rings for Elvenkind, one question has ruled over all in The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power: How much power did Sauron really exert on the Elven rings? Galadriel’s intentions with the rings were pure as they come: with the Elven city of Lindon in decay, there was nothing stopping Middle-earth from the darkness of Sauron’s rule. But the fact that Sauron himself — FKA Halbrand (Charlie Vickers) — had the idea to forge rings in the first place did put a damper on her victory. The Elves are more powerful than ever thanks to those rings, but is that just another part of Sauron’s plan?
