The Forging of the One RingSecond Age 1600
In the fires of Orodruin, Sauron forged the One Ring to control all the other Rings of Power: 'One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them, One Ring to bring them all, and in the darkness bind them.' The moment he put it on, the Elven ring-bearers became aware of his purpose.
Figures: Sauron
