Seven for the Dwarf-lords in their halls of stone,
Nine for Mortal Men doomed to die,

HISTORY OF THE RINGS OF POWER

At the end of the First Age, the evil forces of Morgoth were defeated; Sauron being a disciple of Morgoth who evaded the summons of the holy Valars to surrender and be judged. Powerful and ambitious, Sauron chose to stay in Middle-earth and seek to control and dominate its people.

Entering the Second Age, Sauron disguised himself as a handsome emissary of the holy Valar, known as Annatar. Sauron approached the leaders of the Elves in the name of enlightenment, spreading knowledge from Valinor - the homeland of the Valars.

Sauron was rejected by the Elves leaders of Lindon, Gil-galad and Elrond, but was able to convince the Elves of Eregion to take him in. Here, with Sauron's help, the land's finest blacksmiths forged the Rings of Power, creating sets of Nine (for Men) and sets of Seven (for Dwarves).

While the blacksmiths crafted a set of Three for themselves (the Elves), Sauron left for Mordor and secretly forged an ultimate ring in the lava of Mount Doom.

Sauron's ring is the master or lord ring, which can control all other rings.

When the Lord of the Rings began to use its Black Speech to summon the other Rings, the Elves discovered Sauron's true intentions. They managed to hide and scatter the Rings into several hands, but Sauron carried out bloody attacks to capture the Rings one by one.
