the game is presented against the background of the history of the one ring. at the dawn of the second age, after the defeat of the dark lord, morgoth, the elves of eregion forged the nineteen rings of power to help themselves, the dwarves and men rule middle-earth. however, the elves were unaware that sauron, morgoth's closest ally, had survived his master's defeat, and in the guise of annatar had been the one who taught the elven-smiths, led by celebrimbor, how to forge the rings, whilst, in secret, he forged his own one ring in the fires of mount doom, a ring far more powerful than any of the others. however, in order for the one ring to be powerful enough to control the other rings, sauron had to transfer most of his power into it. as soon as he put it on, the elves became aware of his ruse, removing and hiding their three rings, which celebrimbor had forged without sauron's aid. sauron waged war on the elves, conquering much of middle-earth and killing celebrimbor. thus began the dark years, when sauron took possession of the remaining sixteen rings, giving seven to the dwarves and nine to men in an effort to corrupt them. the dwarves proved relatively immune to the powers of the rings, acquiring only a greed for gold, and becoming unconcerned with events in the wider world. men proved less resilient, and the nine kings given the rings become the nine ring-wraiths, or nazgûl, led by the witch-king of angmar.
