The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power Season 3 premiere recap: Sauron starts his search for ring bearers
Five years after Season 2, Sauron has started a war against the elves. He has also started corrupting men across Middle-earth, while Lindon and Rivendell continue to fight back. According to TVLine, Sauron is still working on creating the One Ring. While making a golden ring in his workshop at Barad-dûr, he refuses to test it himself. Instead, Marnûkh, one of the orcs, pushes another orc forward to try it. The moment the creature puts the ring on, its hand catches fire, and the flames soon consume its entire body.
This doesn't stop Sauron from working on the ring. Additionally, he also sees a vision of Celebrimbor, who tells him that his inability to form real connections is what drives his need to control others.
Sauron even meets with the Gaudrim. He hopes to get their soldiers to join his war. However, two of the representatives remain loyal to the Dark Wizard and refuse to side with Sauron and get killed by Sauron's orc lieutenant.
Sauron decides that only one of the remaining Gaudrim warriors will get the ring. Hence, he makes them fight until a single man is left standing. In the end, Khamûl wins the fight. But wearing the ring comes at a cost. His body goes through a change as he becomes a Nazgûl. However, the ring also heals his old wounds.
