What Lies Beyond Middle-earth in ‘The Lord of the Rings’?
The main setting in Tolkien’s The Lord of the Rings is Middle-earth… but what lies beyond? It turns out there are entire continents to be explored.
J.R.R. Tolkien’s massive legendarium is world-building at its finest. The entirety of The Lord of the Rings, The Hobbit, and Prime Video's The Rings of Powertake place in the fantasy world called Middle-earth. Understanding the intricate history of the land is essential to enjoying Tolkien's beloved stories. For years, one of the most fan-asked questions is whether Middle-earth is the only continent in LOTR? The answer is surprisingly... no!
