Needless to say, shits about to go down--
It began with the forging of the Great Rings; three were given to the Elves immortal, wisest, and fairest of all being. Seven to the Dwarf Lords great miners and craftsmen of the mountain halls
And nine, nine rings were gifted to the race of Men, who above all else desire power. For within these rings were bound the strength and will to govern each race... But they were all of them deceived, for another Ring was made.
In the Land of Mordor In the Fires of Mount Doom The Dark Lord Sauron forged in secret a last ring to control all others and into this ring he poured his cruelty, his malice, and his will to dominate all life; One Ring to rule them all. One by one the free lands of Middle Earth fell to the power of the ring but there were some who resisted. A last alliance of Men and Elves marched against the armies of Mordor and on the slopes of Mount Doom they fought for the freedom of Middle Earth.
Victory was near but the power of the Ring could not be undone. It was in this moment, when all hope had faded, that Isildur, son of the king, took up his father’s sword! Sauron, the enemy of the free peoples of Middle Earth, was defeated. The ring passed to Isildur who had his one chance to destroy evil forever... But the hearts of Men are easily corrupted and the ring of power has a will of it’s own.
It betrayed Isildur to his death and some things that should not have been forgotten were lost.
History became legend, legend became myth. And for nine years the ring passed out of all knowledge until, when chance came, it ensnared a new bearer. The ring came to a creature named Peter Jackson who took it deep into the tunnels of the Warner Brothers studios and there it consumed him. The ring brought to Peter the unnatural ability to raise a thought to be dead franchise back to life... and for what seemed to be five hundred years it poisoned his mind, and in the gloom of Peters cave it waited... darkness crept back into the forests of the world as the nerds heard rumors of a shadow to the east, whispers of a nameless fear.. but something happened then, the ring did not intend. It jumped back onto the big screen on December 14, 2012 where there would come a time where hobbits would shake the fortune of all.
