Ahead of this year's much-anticipated San Diego Comic-Con, 'The Lord of The Rings: The Rings of Power' has unveiled new details and characters for its highly anticipated Season 2 premiere. The series, which is an adaptation of J.R.R. Tolkien's world, introduces a range of new characters that will enrich the show's expansive lore.

1. Narvi (played by Kevin Eldon)   

Narvi, a great dwarf, is described by J.R.R. Tolkien as a master craftsman and a close friend of Celebrimbor. Together, they created the renowned Doors of Durin on the west side of Khazad-dûm. Owain Arthur, who reprises his role as prince Durin IV, mentioned that Narvi will play a significant role throughout the season. Although only briefly mentioned in Tolkien's appendices, the showrunners J.D. Payne and Patrick McKay have developed Narvi into a full-fledged character. Narvi, portrayed by Kevin Eldon, will face a critical dilemma in Season 2 as king Durin increasingly falls under the influence of the Rings of Power, leading Narvi to question his loyalty to the king versus his duty to Khazad-dûm.

2. Camnir (played by Calam Lynch)

Camnir, an expert elven map-maker, specializes in navigating the woods of Eriador. His skills are put to the test when unforeseen dangers force a search for a new path to Eregion. Camnir's bravery becomes crucial when Elrond's band of warrior elves encounters an unexpected threat: The Barrow-wights.

3. Rían (played by Selina Lo)

Known as one of the finest archers in Lindon, Rían is a key member of Elrond’s newly formed band of warrior-elves. Her exceptional skills in archery and courage will be invaluable as they defend Eregion from various threats.

4. Mirdania (played by Amelia Kenworthy)

Mirdania, a protégé of master craftsman Celebrimbor, finds her loyalty tested by the arrival of an unexpected visitor in Eregion. This visitor has the potential to change the fate of the Elven-smiths forever.
