That picture looks like an unused shot that you would get in the features of a blu-ray. Looks kind of untouched up and, I don't want to say low quality, but doesn't have post applied.

Looks like Valimar and the two Trees of Valinor.
Just don't reply to me. Please. If you can help it.
Probably Tirion with a view of the two trees. Interesting. But the show is said to be set in the Second Age. So it may be an intro where they quickly explain why the Edain got Númenor, what is Valinor, what happened during the First Age, etc.
And of course we have the usual sourpusses...

Well, of course it is dull. The light is coming from the Two Trees, down on the horizon, and we're looking towards the trees. Therefore, everything we see will be in shadows and dull. They were living in perpetual twilight before the creation of the sun and moon.

Gah, don't you dare be touching the Silmarillion. No way they can be doing it justice.
You can see the Two Trees there both giving off light, but Telperion doesn't look silvery enough. Laurelin gave off golden light and Telperion silver. Given both of them seem to be giving off light that would make it the dusk or dawn period as that was the only time both were active. Even so, they just don't seem majestic or impressive enough, given that apart from the stars they were the only source of light in the world, which gave light to an entire continent.
But it is concept art so we will have to see how it turns out.
I read it a bit different.
The one at the back is Telperion as it is a whitish colour, and certainly not golden. Telperion was the one that was the 'moon'. The one at the front is Laurelin the Golden (the 'sun' equivalent). It does seem to be giving off a sun like light from the middle of its branches in the picture.
The absolute state of Warcraft lore in 2021:
Kyrians: We need to keep chucking people into the Maw because it's our job.
Also Kyrians: Why is the Maw growing stronger despite all our efforts?
Sometimes, the light of the moon is a key to other spaces. I've found a place where, for a night or two, the streets curve in unfamiliar ways. If I walk here, I might find insight, or I might be touched by madness.

Hmf...that's supposed to be Valinor? I never really had an image beyond "white shores." If ut weren't for the trees I'd think that was Numenor.
Kinda. If it is Tirion then it is looking in towards Valinor.. But if it is, it isn't the best representation.
The Valar had raised a massive mountain range on the eastern side of their lands,
the tallest on the world, and smooth and unclimbable from the east. Beneath the mountains was the shore which remained lit only by the stars and it is where some of the elves lived, sailing the dark waters.
There was only one way through the mountains, and that was a narrow pass which had sheer cliffs rise up on either side of it. In the middle of the pass was a hill, Túna and on that was built the city of Tirion where the Noldor elves lived. The light from the Two Trees could shine through the gap upon the city but they could still walk the starlit shores where the light of Amar did not reach.
Problem is those mountains do not really look imposing enough for the description given.
On another matter from the image, the identify of the elf hasn't been given, but my best guess would be it has to be Galadriel. She had been born in Valinor, went into exile with the rest of the Noldor (and was a niece of Feanor, the most powerful elf ever to have lived) and was one of the greatest elves , and probably the most powerful left in Middle-Earth after Gil-galad died. I expect her to be very prominent in the series.
Took be a while to find this thread.....
Logo trailer teaser is here.
also making of trailer
Still not hyped about this show... I am nervous. Having been disappointed with wheel of Time this year this leaves me with a funny feeling in my tummy, but its just a teaser, so who knows maybe it'll; be good.

I read on dragonmount that the first two episodes total 3hrs.
just to remind everyone, the rings of power weren't infact rings of power they were wedding rings and all the kings gay married Sauron. looking forward to a show based on this.
