[Jazzy]

So you finished Tolkien's books and you watched the movies but found yourself asking, "OK, so what exactly is the deal with that ring?" CGP Grey explains.

I wrote a piece of original fiction based on the core of that idea, fifteen years ago....

Enjoy.

"Three Rings for Elven Kings under the Sky..."
"That's just an old poem Dad."
"Maybe. Maybe not..."

The Ring

This piece is FICTION. No defamation of JRR Tolkien or any other 'magic ring' story is intended.

So you finished Tolkien's books and you watched the movies but found yourself asking,

nothing, because I didn't read the book or watch the movies.

I watched the movies.

The One ring had Suaron's life force fused with it as a way of making him immortal. The ring also gave him great power.

In order for them to kill Suaron is to destroy the ring itself.
