Amazon’s Lord of the Rings show has gone by a simple title: The Lord of the Rings. But like The Fellowship of the Ring, The Two Towers, and The Return of the King before it, the creators behind the series hoped to honor J.R.R. Tolkien by giving the prequel story its own subtitle. And on Wednesday, Prime Video set expectations with the addition of a few simple words. This September, fans will behold The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power.

The announcement of The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power, the accompanying reveal video, and a bit of additional commentary from showrunners J.D. Payne and Patrick McKay give a clear sense of where this new saga will begin, and how it culls directly from Tolkien’s work. To start the hype for their series in a most epic fashion, Amazon literally forged The Rings of Power title treatment using molten metal and ravines cut from redwood.
