Rings of Power star Cynthia Addai-Robinson discusses how a familiar sword led to her and her co-star wanting to recreate an iconic Lord of the Rings shot.

That moment, of course, came in the finale’s Númenor plotline, as Elendil and Míriel prepared to flee the capital after Ar-Pharazôn staged a military coup, rounding up Míriel’s religious supporters. Preparing to stay behind and face her political rival, Míriel begged for Elendil tohe had eschewed in his career leading her seaguard, and offered him a gift to take out of the city in the form of a sword.
But for Addai-Robinson, neither she nor Míriel could hold a particular reverence for the weapon in that moment: because the scene still had to resonate for an audience that might not know Narsil’s eventual importance in Elendil’s hands. “What was important for me is that it holds this significance—it’s definitely an Easter egg, maybe it’s even more than an Easter egg,” the actress continued.
“It’s a moment of significance and allure, but in that moment we don’t necessarily know—Míriel doesn’t know, Elendil doesn’t know, how that sword is going to play down the line. It really is more about giving this sense of responsibility, and really saying ‘You’re now ready to take on this responsibility and basically prepare for a revolution.'”
In the moment for Míriel, passing over the sword represents her understanding that she and her closest confidant in the capital are about to part ways—for a very long time, perhaps even for good, for those viewers familiar with Númenor’s fate. “As much as it pains her to part ways, I thought that it was very true to life, to me,” Addai-Robinson concluded.
