One Ring to rule them all,
One Ring to find them,
One Ring to bring them all
and in the darkness bind them
In ancient times the Rings of Power were crafted by
the Elven-smiths, and Sauron, the Dark Lord, forged
the One Ring, filling it with his own power so that
he could rule all others. But the One Ring was taken
from him, and though he sought it throughout Middle-earth,
it remained lost to him. After many ages it fell into
the hands of Bilbo Baggins, as told in The Hobbit.
In a sleepy village in the Shire, young Frodo Baggins
finds himself faced with an immense task, as his elderly
cousin Bilbo entrusts the Ring to his care. Frodo must
leave his home and make a perilous journey across Middle-earth
to the Cracks of Doom, there to destroy the Ring and
foil the Dark Lord in his evil purpose.
