Elven-rings : The magical rings made by Celebrimbor and the M�rdain of Eregion in the middle years of the Second Age,made unwittingly under the secret guidance and tutelage of Sauron.Most famous among them were the Three Rings of the Elves,Narya,Nenya and Vilya,the Rings of Fire,Water and Air.These were the only three made outside the influence of Sauron,though they too fell under the power of his One Ring.
Great Ring : A title occasionally used to refer to Sauron's One Ring.
Great Rings : The nineteen powerful Rings forged in Eregion in the Second Age, mostly with the aid of Sauron, of which nine were given by him to Men and seven to the Dwarves;three the Elves retained.The One Ring is also counted among the Great but that was forged by Sauron alone in Orodruin.
Isildur�s Bane : A name for the One Ring.After Sauron's defeat in the War of the Last Alliance,Isildur Elendil's son took the Ring and later journeyed northward with it to his kingdom of Arnor.Ambushed by Orcs,Isildur's small force was cut down and he fled the battle wearing the Ring.It slipped from his finger,though,and so both Isildur and the Ring were lost.
Narya : One of the Three Rings of the Elves,called the Red Ring and the Ring of Fire;it was originally borne by C�rdan the Shipwright but he gave it to Gandalf on his arrival in Middle-earth.
Nenya : One of the Three Rings of the Elves,called the Ring of Water and the Ring of Adamant;it was borne by Galadriel in L�rien and used to maintain that land.
Nine Rings : Those of the Rings of Power that Sauron used to corrupt Men to his service;those who took the Nine Rings became the Nazg�l.
One Ring : The greatest of the Rings of Power,forged secretly by Sauron in the fires of Orodruin.The Ring not only transported the wearer into the Wraith-world,making him invisible to those in the real world but also granted virtual immortality and mastery over the nineteen Great Rings and all other magical Rings forged in Eregion in the middle of the Second Age.After Sauron's defeat at the end of that Age,the Ring was lost;the story of its recovery and ultimate destruction lie at the heart of The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings.
Precious : A name given to the One Ring by Gollum.
Red Ring : Narya,the Ring of Fire;one of the Three Rings of the Elves,borne in the later Third Age by Gandalf.
Ring of Adamant : Another name for Nenya,the Ring of Water that Galadriel bore in L�rien.Adamant is an old word for diamond,referring to the Ring's glinting precious stone.
Ring of Air : A name for one of the Three Rings of the Elves,Vilya,that was borne by Elrond at the time of the War of the Ring.
Ring of Barahir : A gift to Barahir and his descendants by Finrod Felagund,in reward for the saving of his life in the Dagor Bragollach.The Ring was used as a token by Barahir's son Beren Erchamion when he sought Finrod's aid in the Quest of the Silmaril and passed down by his descendants for thousands of years.It was still an heirloom of the House of Isildur in the Third Age.
Ring of Fire : Narya,the Red Ring;one of the Three Rings of the Elves that was originally granted to C�rdan but passed on by him to Gandalf.
Ring of Sapphire : Vilya,The Ring of Air,one of the Three Rings of the Elves.This Ring was borne by Gil-galad for a time but Elrond kept it for most of its existence.
Ring of Thr�r : The first of the Seven Dwarf-rings to be forged, and the last to be recovered by Sauron. It was originally given to King Durin III of Khazad-d�m by the Elves of Eregion, and it remained in his line for thousands of years until it was inherited by Thr�r, the King under the Mountain at Erebor. It was during Thr�r's reign that Smaug descended on Erebor and drove the Dwarves into exile. Long after Erebor's destruction, Thr�r passed the Ring to his son Thr�in, who dwelt for many years as an exile from his ancient home. At last, Thr�in set out on his own ill-fated Quest of Erebor, but he was captured by the spies of Sauron, and the Ring of Thr�r was lost.
Ring of Water : One of the Three Rings of the Elves,the Ring of Water,Nenya,was mounted with a diamond and held by Galadriel in the land of L�rien.
Ruling Ring : A name given to the One Ring,because of the authority it granted its wearer over the other Rings of Power.
Seven Rings : Those of the Rings of Power that Sauron gave to the Dwarves to seduce them to his service. The Dwarves proved too hardy to be lured in this way, though, and the Rings did little more than increase their native lust for gold. By the end of the Third Age, Sauron had recovered three of the Seven Rings to himself, and the other four had been consumed by dragons.
Three Rings : Nenya,Narya and Vilya;the only three of the Rings of Power to be made wholly outside the influence of Sauron.Their power maintained the realms of the Elves in Middle-earth until the destruction of the Ruling Ring.
Vilya : Called the Ring of Sapphire and the Ring of Air,one of the Three Rings of the Elves.It was originally held by Gil-galad but he passed it to Elrond at the time of the founding of Rivendell.
