The world is changed

I smell it in the air.
Much that once was is lost,for none now live who remember it.

It began with the forging of the Great Rings. Three were given to the Elves. Immortal, wisest and fairest of all beings.
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 was 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 forged in secret a Master 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 that 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 this one chance to destroy evil forever.
But the hearts of Men
are easily corrupted.
And the Ring of Power has a will of its 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 two and a half thousand years
the Ring passed out of all knowledge.

Until, when chance came...
...it ensnared a new bearer.
The Ring came to the creature Collum
who took it deep into the tunnels of the Misty Mountains.
And there it consumed him.

The Ring brought to Collum
unnatural long life.
For 500 years it poisoned his mind.
And in the gloom of Collum's cave,
It waited.

Darkness crept back into the forest of the world.
Rumor grew of a shadow in the East...
...whispers of a nameless fear.
And the Ring of Power perceived...
...it's time has now come.

It abandoned Collum.
But something happened then the Ring did not intend.

It was picked up by the most unlikely creature imaginably.
A Hobbit.
Bilbo Baggins of the Shire.

For the time will soon come...
...when Hobbits will shape the fortunes of all.
