Section 4: Of the Finding of the Ring

A map of Middle Earth with
Frodo's journey shown in red

'Legend tells of a ring,
created by an ancient evil...'

'...that gave it's wearer the
power to enslave the world'

'Believed lost for centuries, it has now been found.'

'This is the One Ring, forged by the Dark Lord Sauron;
Sauron needs only this ring
to cover all the lands in a second darkness.'

'It was made in the fires

'Only there can it be unmade'

of Mount Doom'

- Elrond

'He is seeking it, seeking it - all his thought is bent on it'

NOTE: Much of the material
below may, in fact, be shown
at later times in the movie, not
at the beginning. However, I
have grouped together many
of the images from times that
precede the main events of
'The Fellowship of the Ring'
here, in this section.

The Last Alliance of Elves and Men

Sauron's shadow stretched far over the land as he cruelly enslaved the Free Peoples of Middle Earth. Despair and fear fell across the world until a Last Alliance of Elves and Men, under the leadership of the Elven-king Gil-galad and Elendil, High King of Gondor, was forged in a desperate attempt to break his power.

On the slopes of Mount Doom, their great army drove back the Dark Lord's forces; but there Gilgalad, though as an immortal elf-lord he was never born to die, perished beneath the heat of Sauron's hand; and Elendil fell, too, breaking beneath him his legendary greatsword Narsil, which had been forged in the First Age by the dwarves. His son Isuldur, prince of Gondor, took up the shard and with its sharp edge struck from the Dark Lord's hand the One Ring, thus breaking at last his will and power.

Then the One Ring should have been destroyed; but Isuldur succumbed to its seductive power and refused to cast it into the fires of Mount Doom. Instead, he carried it with him until he fell prey to orcs at the Gladden Fields, and there, in the waters of the great River Anduin, the Ring was once more lost.

Thus ended the Dark Years of the Second Age of Middle-earth, and the Third Age began. For thousands of years since that time, Sauron has concentrated his efforts on rebuilding his armies and on his search for the Ruling Ring. But the Ring would not lie still, and by various means has made a long, strange journey.
