That’s right, as many of you can tell from first glance of this map, the new Lord of the Rings series on Amazon Prime (slated for release in 2020) will be set roughly 500 years before the events of The Fellowship of the Ring. The dead giveaway is the Calenardhon location marker, because that indirectly states that this is before the kingdom of Rohan was founded. You know what that means? No Bernard Hill

King Theoden was one of the best parts of the trilogy. Breaking Saruman’s curse, evacuating Edoras to go to Helm’s Deep and the resulting battle, the speech and cavalry charge during the battle of the Pelennor Fields!?! BEAST!
