The Silmarillion delves into the early history of its fictional universe, Eä, and the various lands it encompasses, such as Valinor, Beleriand, Númenor, and, of course, Middle-Earth. Structured into five distinct parts, the book offers readers a deep dive into the lore, extensive historical accounts of the First Age, and summaries of the familiar Third Age stories, including those from The Lord of the Rings.

The Lord of the Rings franchise has expanded into various other mediums, including Monolith's game Middle-Earth: Shadow of Mordor, Magic: The Gathering crossover cards, and Prime Video's live-action series Rings of Power. In IGN's review of Rings of Power season 2, it was noted that "[season 2] does a great job portraying Sauron's machinations and his impact on those he manipulates, but too much time is spent on disconnected subplots delivering only mediocre intrigue and thin characters."
