The Rings of Power in Lord of the Rings

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 this video I explore the history and characteristics of the Great Rings referred to in this poem.   The video on the Gladden Fields disaster can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b-s2BljVvCU   If you want to pick up a copy of the Unfinished Tales, which is a major source for some of this lore, you can find that here: https://www.amazon.com/Unfinished-Tales-Lost-Lore-Middle-earth/dp/0345357116   Intro music is from "A Storm Is Coming," outro music is from "The Shadow of the Past," both from the Lord of the Rings Trilogy Soundtrack, copyright New Line Productions and Reprise Records. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/joshua6469/support
