We had the opportunity to sit down with Ema Horvath and Lloyd Owen. They talked about what it was like stepping into one of the most iconic and beloved fictional worlds and what might be in store for the future of Númenor. Ema Horvath (Eärien) and Lloyd Owen (Elendil) are deeply invested in the political motivations of their characters and are intrigued by the more cerebral aspects of the show.
