5I'm very curious to know why this is being downvoted. It seems to me to be a logical question to ask, and definitely one that has concrete and verifiable answers. [added: I realised I left off the most important part of the title - it's not just meant to find things outside Tolkien, that would be a terrible and lazy question]– David RobertsCommented Sep 10, 2022 at 11:45

1I'm pretty sure Annatar is used in the Shadow of War computer game which is also taking place in the second age. So I don't think it's related to copyright of specific books.– AmarthCommented Sep 10, 2022 at 11:52

@Amarth cf lotro-wiki.com/index.php/Antheron The makers of LOTRO didn't have the rights to the name Annatar forums.lotro.com/forums/…– David RobertsCommented Sep 10, 2022 at 12:04

Well, the show is before the end of "Of the Rings of Power and the Third Age" in the 2nd edition of The Silmarillion, so it all takes place before The Hobbit, so while much of what is there so far has been referenced (clearly or otherwise) in the Jackson films or Tolkien's books but none of it has been from there.– Jeremy NielsenCommented Sep 14, 2022 at 0:08

2Idk if this counts, but it is obvious that the representation of Galadriel in the show is very different from what we had in LOTR, apparently, in Unfinished Tales it is mentioned that she was some kind of top performance athlete among elves, that she would braid her hair in order to participate in sports and that her name means "Man maiden"– Mrc4t987Commented Oct 17, 2022 at 15:06

A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
Type the name of the science fictional or fantastical work your question is about (Example:
star-wars).For questions not specific to any one work, use concept tags to describe your question (Example:
story-identification).Tagging rules:
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. story-identification), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
