It abandoned Gollum, but then something happened that the Ring did not intend. Rumor grew of a shadow in the East, whispers of a nameless fear, and the Ring of Power perceived its time had come. Darkness crept back into the forests of the world. For five hundred years it poisoned his mind, and in the gloom of GollumвЂ™s cave, it waited. The ring gave to Gollum unnatural long life.

Sauron, enemy of the free peoples of Middle-Earth, was defeated. It was in this moment, when all hope had faded, that Isildur, son of the king, took up his fatherвЂ™s sword. Victory was near, but the power of the ring could not be undone. A last alliance of men and elves marched against the armies of Mordor, and on the very slopes of Mount Doom, they fought for the freedom of Middle-Earth. One by one, the free lands of Middle-Earth fell to the power of the Ring, but there were some who resisted. Deep in the land of Mordor, in the Fires of Mount Doom, the Dark Lord Sauron forged a master ring, and into this ring he poured his cruelty, his malice and his will to dominate all life. But they were all of them deceived, for another ring was made.

For within these rings was bound the strength and the will to govern each race. And nine, nine rings were gifted to the race of Men, who above all else desire power. Seven to the Dwarf-Lords, great miners and craftsmen of the mountain halls. Three were given to the Elves, immortal, wisest and fairest of all beings. It began with the forging of the Great Rings. Much that once was is lost, for none now live who remember it.
