One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them, One Ring to bring them all, and in the darkness bind them, In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie.
Welcome to the Second Age
Okay,
now can I get excited? ^_^
The use of the 'star' map of Numenor confirms that Amazon have the rights to more than just the old LotR+Hobbit deal, because that map and description only appears in
Unfinished Tales. That doesn't necessarily mean they're going full Fall of Numenor (or even, since Ost-in-Edhil appears on this version of the map, full Fall of Eregion), but it means they apparently
can do some of that sort of thing.
So anyway: aaaaaaaaaaaa.
As
Inziladun rightly says, whatever they come up with won't match up to Tolkien's own writings, and there's every chance they'll come up drastically short (though the fact that they correctly added the forests of Eriador to the Second Age map,
and filled in the East Bight, says they're paying at least some attention), but still, "for those who like that sort of thing..."
aaaaaaaaaaa
