We're finally getting a clearer picture of what Amazon's Lord of the Rings prequel series will look like, and it's poised to cover one of the most fascinating times in Tolkien lore.

The streaming service confirmed Thursday that the upcoming show will be set in the Second Age, which spans 3441 years and features exciting events like Sauron's first rise to power. But for those hoping to see a baby-faced Aragorn cutting it up with the elves, you're out of luck. Setting the show in this time period rules out the possibility of seeing the would-be king in action, since he was born in the Third Age.

Although the prequel will take place during a time that's unfamiliar to mainstream audiences, it will contain elements familiar to even the most novice Lord of the Rings fan. A map of Middle Earth tweeted out by Amazon suggests the series will focus on the island of Númenor, which fans of Peter Jackson's trilogy will recognize as the lost city that Aragorn and others lament over throughout the big-screen films.

Depending on when exactly in the Second Age the prequel takes place, we might see a few other key events, like the downfall of that once-great city, Sauron actually forging the One Ring, Gimli's bearded ancestors drinking and partying in Khazad-dûm (which we see in ruins in The Two Towers), and the bedazzled-headband-wearing Elrond (played by Hugo Weaving in Jackson's trilogy) founding the elven kingdom of Rivendell -- where Frodo Aragorn, Legolas and others form the Fellowship to destroy Sauron's ring once and for all thousands of years later.

While Aragorn most likely won't be featured, there's a good chance you'll see get to see loads more of Elrond, whose role in the Second Age is pretty significant compared to the lethargic, stay-at-home elf we see in the Lord of the Rings trilogy. With Sauron on the rise, humans and elves were forced to forge an alliance, which led to a war that culminated with Aragorn's ancestor Isildur cutting the One Ring from Sauron's hand before taking it for himself, as depicted in the opening credits for The Fellowship of the Ring.

What Jackson couldn't showcase in his films is that Second Age Elrond is the cool Elrond who rode on the front lines of the war and looked glorious while doing so. But whether or not we'll get to see any of that in the Amazon series is still unclear.

Details about the upcoming series remain scarce, but this latest clue narrows the scope of what could be covered a bit more.
