Our story is in a place named The Middle Earth.
It all began with the high god, Iluvatar, who created Arda, the world.
He created the 3 countries: Numenor, Valaria, and the Middle Earth.
In Valaria he created the Valars,the high and superior elves.
In Middle Earth he created elves and dwarves.
In Nmenor he created the man.
One day the man's king, Far-Azon, decided to attack Valaria, the valars called for Iluvatar and in seconds Far-Azon ships destroyed, and the survivors fled to Middle Earth and re-settled.
And therefore all the three races live in the Middle Earth.
One day a valar named Morgoth betrayed his king and expelled to the Middle Earth, where he ruled over the three races, and then the first age started, Morgoth was the firs dark lord.
But a man named Berem had succeeded to kill Morgoth, when Morgoth died his most loyal and powerful servant, Sauron, became the second dark lord, and because of that the second age began.
The valars saw what is happening in the Middle Earth and sent their powerful servants: Saruman the white and Gandalf the grey with another four:
Elrond half elf – master of Rivendell, Galadriel and Cereborn – masters of Lothlorien and Thorum – master of Mirkwood.
19 rings of power were given to the rulers of Middle Earth:
"Three rings to elf kings under the skies,
Seven to dwarves lords in blackened deeps,
Nine to the men, miserable mortals,
One to the dark lord on his dark chair
In the land of Mordor, where shadows creep.
One rings to rule them all, one ring to find them,
One ring to bring them all, and in the darkness bind them,
In the land of Mordor, where shadows creep".
Sauron learned the way to create the rings and from the lava of mount Doom he made a master ring that controls the other rings.
One after one the 9 kings of men fell to the power of the ring and became the Nazgul, neither living nor dead.
At the fight on the slopes of mount Doom, Isildur, son of the human king, cut Sauron's finger that the ring was, Sauron fallen…but didn't died.
The only way to destroy the ring was to throw it into mount of Doom, Isildur could have done it, but the heart on men is weak, so he kept it for himself, but the ring wishes to return to his master, Sauron, and so the second age ended and the third age began.
