*The Silmarillion* delves into the early history of its fictional universe, Eä, and its lands such as Valinor, Beleriand, Númenor, and Middle-Earth. The book is divided into five distinct parts, offering deep lore exposition, extensive historical accounts of the First Age, and summaries of the Third Age stories familiar from *The Lord of the Rings*.

The Lord of the Rings franchise has expanded beyond books into other mediums, including Monolith's game *Middle-Earth: Shadow of Mordor*, Magic: The Gathering crossover cards, 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."
