J.R. R. Tolkien's Lord of the Rings appendices feature the dwarf Narvi. He is most well-known for building the large Mine of Moria entrance, the Doors of Durin. Though Narvi doesn't show up in the main Lord of the Rings narrative, the Fellowship feels his legacy as they make their way inside Moria. Together with Celebrimbor, Narvi's labor on the Doors of Durin shows a clear political connection between the Elves of Eregion and the Dwarves of Khazad-dûm.
The Rings of Power is set thousands of years before The Lord Of The Rings' events, therefore Narvi was living in Middle-earth's Second Age. The program will look at Narvi's advise to King Durin Iii and his son, Prince Durin IV, during a period of political and social upheaval in Khazad-dûm. Given his strong relationship with Celebrimbor, Narvi will most certainly be involved in the events surrounding the building of the Rings of Power.
Indeed, showrunners have stated that Narvi will be quite important for dwarf world politics. He will be close friend to King Durin Iii, a major actor in season two. Though Narvi appears in a rather little part in Tolkien's works, the showrunners have developed his character and made him a fleshed-out, significant one.
Narvi and Celebrimbor had political alliance and close friendship. On a number of projects, including the building of the Doors of Durin, they coordinated. The link between these two characters is evidence of the Second Age connectivity of the Elven and Dwarven cultures.
A marvel of Dwarven workmanship, the Doors of Durin represent They are evidence of Narvi's talent as well as the strength of the Dwarven people The inscription of the Doors of Durin, "I, Narvi, made them," also adds great significance. This inscription reminds us of Narvi's legacy and his relevance for Khazad-dûm's history.
Narvi's arrival in season 2 is likely to generate some controversy. He will be engaged in the convoluted political scene of the Dwarven kingdom most likely acting as King Durin Iii's advisor. Narvi could be quite important in determining the course of the season given his close links to Celebrimbor and knowledge of the Rings of Power. His part might help to clarify the link between the Dwarves and Elves during this critical junctural.
