Pharazôn took advantage of the discord in Númenor to become king, using the Eagle that showed up at Míriel’s coronation to gain the last bit of support he needed. However, in Rings of Power season 2, episode 6, Míriel survived the trial of the Valar. By emerging from the water, the queen proved beyond the shadow of a doubt that the Valar supported her rule. Naturally, this is pretty bad news for Pharazôn. Desperate for a solution, he headed for Númenor’s palantír and placed his hand upon it. The future shown to him was one of flames, with Halbrand’s face standing out clearly.
Pharazôn Seeing Sauron In The Palantír Sets Up The Rings Of Power’s Season 3 Story
Sauron Is Key To Pharazôn’s Future
Rings of Power has already foreshadowed the great wave that will destroy Númenor, and Pharazôn seeing Halbrand’s face in the palantír further hints that this catastrophe is on the way. In Tolkien canon, Pharazôn takes Sauron prisoner (not knowing his true identity), but the clever villain manipulates the king to the point he actually becomes his most trusted advisor. Of course, Sauron advising a king of Men leads to nothing good. Under the Dark Lord’s influence, Pharazôn leads his people in an attack against the Valar in Valinor. The punishment for this is the doom of the entire kingdom.
Sauron plays an important role in Pharazôn’s future, but certainly not in a good way. Still, seeing Halbrand’s face in the palantír will likely make the king believe that the “man” (who was held prisoner in Númenor back in Rings of Power season 1) is key to his success. This may cause him to seek Halbrand out, not realizing his true identity. Regardless of how their paths will cross again, this moment in Rings of Power season 2, episode 6, indicates that this story is on the way and will likely be a primary focus of season 3.
Sauron & Pharazôn’s Relationship Will Be Eerily Similar To Sauron & Celebrimbor In Season 2
Pharazôn Is Doomed To Be Sauron’s Next Partner In Crime
Image via Prime VideoRings of Power season 2 has been largely dedicated to Sauron’s work with Celebrimbor. The elf was easy for the Dark Lord to manipulate since his pride and desire to outdo Fëanor made him susceptible to Sauron’s specific brand of evil. It seems that in Rings of Power season 3, Pharazôn will be the new Celebrimbor. He and Sauron’s relationship will start out promising, but things will gradually go downhill as circumstances twist to be at the villain’s benefit rather than the Númenórean king’s.
These two villains are sure to cooperate to devastating effect and clash with even more extreme consequences.
Of course, while prideful, Celebrimbor has never been an evil character. Pharazôn, on the other hand, made his horrible intentions clear before ever putting his trust in Sauron. This should mean for an even more thrilling story in the future in Rings of Power. These two villains are sure to cooperate to devastating effect and clash with even more extreme consequences. We will have to wait until the next season to see it on the screen, but it’s certainly a lot to be excited about.
