The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power<\/em> represents a host of firsts for JRR Tolkien screen adaptations. It’s the first time fans have seen stories from the second age of Middle-earth on screen (all previous installments are set in the third age), the first time kingdoms and cultures of Tolkienian lore have been seen before their tragic fates find out , and, in what was of particular interest to lovers of this world, the first time we saw Dwarves (including Dwarven women!) at their greatest strength in the depths of Khazad-d\u00fbm.<\/p>\n The rich and thriving culture of the Dwarves, not its tragedies seen in Fellowship of the ring<\/em> and the Hobbit<\/em> trilogy, is finally detailed in the first season of Prime Video’s fantasy epic, led by Prince Durin IV and Princess Disa, the effortless charmers of Owain Arthur and Sophia Nomvete. Second only to The Hobbits, The Dwarfs have always provided great, boisterous humor and warmth in Tolkien’s world. Durin and Disa were fan favorites when the series debuted in September 2022 because of that warmth and humor.<\/p>\n With Season 2 on the horizon and Emmys voting underway, StrippedPixel connected with Arthur and Nomvete to reveal how they brought dwarven culture to the screen through the endless amount of love that Durin and Disa have for each other, their fellow dwarves and their elven friend from outside, Robert Aramayo’s Elrond.<\/p>\n
