Amazon acquired the global television rights for J. R. R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings in November 2017. The company's streaming service, Amazon Prime Video, gave a multi-season commitment to a series based on the novel and its appendices, to be produced by Amazon Studios.[1] It was later titled The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power.[2] Amazon hired J. D. Payne and Patrick McKay to develop the series and serve as showrunners in July 2018,[3][4] and J. A. Bayona was hired to direct the first two episodes a year later.[5] The series is set in the Second Age of Middle-earth, thousands of years before the events of Tolkien's The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings,[6] and the first season focuses on introducing the setting and major heroic characters to the audience.[7][8] In February 2022, Bayona revealed the title for the first episode, "A Shadow of the Past", which comes from the second chapter of The Lord of the Rings, "The Shadow of the Past". McKay said the first season was influenced by dialogue from that chapter which he paraphrased as "After a defeat and a respite, a shadow grows again in a new form."[7]
Shippey mentions another distinctive structural feature of the chapter. The whole two-book volume is narrated as a single strand with Frodo as the protagonist, except for the flashback narratives within "The Shadow of the Past" and later "The Council of Elrond".[16] The Tolkien scholar Verlyn Flieger adds that the two chapters are similar in that "the past must be recapitulated by Gandalf or Elrond [in their respective flashback sections] in order to explain the present".[17]
After the light tone of the first chapter, "A Long-Expected Party", Tolkien deepens the plot. He starts to give the reader a sense of the depth of time behind the unfolding events, and the feeling that past and present are connected. Flieger writes that in the chapter, time both provides "the essential framework of the narrative [and] becomes the traveled road between past and present, connecting the two worlds."[17]
The scholar Elizabeth Goodenough writes that the chapter's title "resonantly links not only the past and coming war against Sauron" but also both the First World War, in which Tolkien had fought, and the Second World War, during which he wrote much of The Lord of the Rings.[3] In his foreword to the second edition, Tolkien denied that either the book or the chapter reflected the Second World War:
[The Lord of the Rings] is neither allegorical nor topical. As the story grew it put down roots (into the past) and threw out unexpected branches: but its main theme was settled from the outset by the inevitable choice of the Ring as the link between it and The Hobbit. The crucial chapter, "The Shadow of the Past", is one of the oldest parts of the tale. It was written long before the foreshadow of 1939 [the start of the Second World War] had yet become a threat of inevitable disaster, and from that point the story would have developed along essentially the same lines, if that disaster had been averted. Its sources are things long before in mind, or in some cases already written, and little or nothing in it was modified by the war that began in 1939 or its sequels.[1]
In Valinor, near Tirion, an adolescent Galadriel speaks with her older brother Finrod about destiny and vocation. An older Galadriel then narrates concerning the bliss of the Years of the Trees, their destruction by Morgoth, the Elves' war against him, and the uncertainty of Sauron's endurance past the War of Wrath. Among many glimpses of the First Age is a sequence of the Dagor Bragollach in FA 456, in which Finrod is seen being pressed back by an overwhelming force of Morgoth's Orcs (moments before Barahir would have rescued him). Galadriel tells of Finrod's later resolve to seek for and defeat Sauron, amidst which he died. This mission she chose to take up after him.
Fight on until you can dwindle their numbers and focus on your real target, killing the clones will make things much easier overall. Before you dominate your target, shadow dominate the warchief to complete a bonus objective and pass the mission.
Several cabins built between 1884 and 1887, now absent, stood along the trail. This cabin, originally constructed in 1888 by Elcaine Longmire (James Longmire's eldest son), is a shadow of that past. It is the only remaining relic of an energetic enterprise by one family to establish the first settlement in what is now Mount Rainier National Park. The National Park Service maintains the cabin to preserve its original appearance. The Longmire dream was interrupted by the rise of more modern businesses that grew around the meadow as the result of Mount Rainier's popularity as a wilderness park. This cabin stands to remind us that the James Longmire Family contributed significantly to the park's history. They were explorers, trail blazers, road builders, entrepreneurs, and mountaineers.
In multi-player, you can also choose to have a dedicated combat deck to fail hide tests on purpose and just tank the out-of-turn attack. Be aware, however, that the shadow effects on Green Hill Country, The Marish, and especially Evil Crow punish failed Hide tests, so you should bring some shadow cancellation. Sterner than Steel is always a good option for combat-heavy decks. The Forced effect on The Marish should be no problem with a dedicated combat deck, while the treachery Have You Seen Baggins? can be very devastating. Should you go this route, bringing cancellation and condition removal is an absolute must.
Item one in this category is objectives for victory. Signs of Gollum in Hunt For Gollum; Athelas in Journey to Rhosgobel; Gollum in Dead Marshes if he gets shuffled into the encounter deck and goes as a shadow card; the victory point mountains in Redhorn Gate (while not as effective for winning, the Dimrill Stair is also a decent one because of its positive effect on travelling); a card you can match the starting letter of in Watcher in the Water. Again this was more a thing earlier in the life of the game. But this isn't the really juicy stuff to my mind, this is mostly just insurance against your own shuffling of the encounter deck screwing up your chances of victory. Correcting an issue in the design of the quests where crucial objectives could be lost as shadow cards and force the players to sit around until the whole encounter deck got reshuffled and then try again. I'd inlude Shadow of the Past for a bunch of these quests, but I wouldn't be particularly enthused about playing it.
Item two is the good stuff. Non-essential but very helpful/fun objectives, such as: Grimbeorn the Old in Conflict at the Carrock; Rangers of Ithilien in Massing at Osgiliath; the random bits of equipment in Long Dark and Foundations of Stone; Ithilien Guardians in Into Ithilien; Misty Mountain Eagles in Battle of Five Armies; the Gildor Inglorion boon in Shadow of the Past in campaign mode (and further if you add him to the campaign pool); Tom Bombadil in Old Forest and Fog on the Barrow Downs; and the Dunedain of Annuminas in Siege of Annuminas. All of these can be very helpful to get a hold of, so in my opinion well worth spending two neutral resources to retrieve if they go as shadows. Of note, some of them (Gildor and Bombadil at least, off the top of my head) don't even surge, at which point your 2-cost neutral Shadow of the Past is providing a more powerful effect than the 3-cost Gildor's Counsel. A final note on this front is that using Ranger Summons can allow you to seed your own objectives into the encounter deck, those being Rangers of the North, and so in this case Shadow of the Past would be a bit less quest-specific.

Why it was there is not really in question. We know the misdeeds of the past, and few adults I spoke with wanted to address it publicly. One African-American woman told me it was still too hard of a pill to swallow, while a white woman said it was a sad part of life in the South but had little else to add.
The good news about this quest is that the only enemies of note you will face are the Black Riders. The bad news is that they each have 5 attack (with the possibility of shadow attack boosts), which can quickly decimate allies and heroes if you are not suitably prepared. Fortunately, there are some really strong defensive options in the current card pool. Note that the Spirit version of Frodo is not one of them, as you are compelled to use the Fellowship version for this quest instead.
Butterbur declares as the defender against the Black Rider, who gains +1 attack due to a shadow effect. Poor Butterbur is destroyed by this monstrous attack of 6. On the other side of the board, Aragorn defends against the Evil Crow, and there is no shadow effect.
The Hobbits stare in wonder as a sleek, white horse charges past them. Not knowing what to make of this sight, they are even more stunned when Butterbur comes walking towards them, bandaged and bruised, but none the worse for wear. Gandalf has gotten him the help he needed and sent him back to look after the Hobbits while he scouts ahead. Meanwhile, Asfaloth rushes to find its master, and Glorfindel is overjoyed to see how quickly the horse has answered his call.
I could sacrifice Butterbur once more, but with the quest coming to a close, I still have the boon, Mr. Underhill, available, which allows me to cancel an attack (similar to Feint). I will use it now, as there is no reason to go through a whole quest without playing it, and shadow effects can be unpredictable. I put Mr. Underhill in the victory display, and the Black Rider cannot attack.
