The 20 Rings of Power Explained—Including the One Sauron Used to Seduce Middle Earth into Evil

Lord of the Rings is one of the most famous fantasy epics of all time. While the trilogy, written by J. R. R. Tolkien, and the corresponding films directed by Peter Jackson, touch on the powers of the 20 rings, Prime Video’s series The Rings of Power —a prequel to LOTR —dives into a little more detail.

In the epigraph of Lord of the Rings , the author introduces the reader to how the rings were distributed among the races in Middle Earth . You know how the poem goes and extra points if you read this in Sir Ian McKellen’s booming voice:

The Real-Life Death From The Boys--'His Family is Overwhelmed by Sadness'

Three Rings for the Elven-kings under the sky,
Seven for the Dwarf-lords in their halls of stone,
Nine for Mortal Men doomed to die,
One for the Dark Lord on his dark throne
In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie.
One Ring 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 the Shadows lie
