The Forging of the Rings

Year 1500 to 1600 of the Second Age -

 

"Three Rings for the Elven-kings under the sky,

Seven for the Dwarf-lords in their halls of stone,

Nine for Mortal Men doomed to die,

One for the Dark Lord on his dark throne

In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie.

One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them,

One Ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them

In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie."

 

The Lord of Gifts, a fair elf by the name of Annatar, decieved the Noldor Elves of Eregion, counselling them in arts and magic, learning them how to forge the Rings of Power. Ten years after the creation of the Rings, Annatar, Sauron the deciever, forged the One Ring to control the bearers of the other 19 rings. As soon as Sauron put on the ring, the elves became aware of the betrayal, hid the rings, and thus started the War of the Elves and Sauron. The Siege of Eregion marks the beginning of the war. This will be the next episode on Norlego's account, coming this Saturday. Be sure to follow all the builders tagged. Finally we would like to thank Blaine's World for sponsoring our collaboration!
