I think they picked the second age on purpose to tell the story. Very little out there about it meaning they can take lots of creative “liberties” when telling the story without fear that purists will attack them for not staying true to the canon, hence Galadriel Warrior Princess. [Reply]
What literature are you referring to? There is very limited amounts of literature out there regarding the Second Age. Honestly it’s because of that the writers have more latitude to fill in the blanks. [Reply]
