The Lord of the Rings: What Happened to the Other Rings of Power?

Amazon Prime’s new video series, ‘The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power’, features a storyline set thousands of years earlier than shown in the Peter Jackson trilogies, a title that, as its name reveals, deals with the history of the so-called Rings of Power which are briefly shown in the 2001 film “The Fellowship of the Ring”.

‘The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring’ explains in its first few minutes that they are the Rings of Power, however, it does not specify exactly what happened to them, so many fans of this franchise want to know what the fate was of these Middle-earth artifacts, and the good news is you don’t have to wait for the new Amazon Prime Video series reveal it, because the answer lies in the clues written in the Books by JRR Tolkien.

It should be noted that in “The Fellowship of the Ring” it is revealed that the rings of power of the Amazon Prime Video seriesare magical artifacts created by a race of elves in the second era of Middle-earth, which would allow them to reach all knowledge of the earth with the sole objective of preserving it, however, as shown by the tapes of Peter Jackson, the villain of this story , Sauron, has a different plan, as his goal is to control all the rings and rule them all.

In this epic story there are 20 Rings of Power that are created3 rings for the elven kings, 7 for the dwarf lords and 9 for the men and of course the one ring, which has the power to destroy and can only be used by Sauron, which is shown in the films of The Lord of the The Rings released in 2001, 2002 and 2003.

The end of the rings of power

The fate of each of the Rings of Power was very differentbecause in the case of 9 men’s ringsgranted a longer life than usual to their bearers, who ended up being corrupted becoming the Nazgul, the servants of Sauron, who died together with their master at the end of the story presented in “The Return of the King”.

Similarly, the 7 dwarf rings They led them to have great wealth and generated enormous greed in them, which led to their decline and loss of Moria and the Lonely Mountain, awakening powers greater than them, so the rings are thought to have been destroyed by dragons or stolen after losing their power.

On the other hand, 3 elf rings they are the only ones who are created without the influence of Sauron, so they remained hidden for thousands of years with their bearers and were used to heal and protect, until they completely lost their power, which also shows itself in the end of the award-winning ribbon ‘The Return of the King’.

The destruction of the One Ring

If you are a fan of The Lord of the Rings and have seen the films created by Peter Jackson, you should know that the so-called Single ringforged to rule others, it was destroyed by Frodo Bolson on the summit of Mount Doom, the volcano of Mordor, thus ending Sauron’s story and his intentions to subdue Middle-earth.

The Amazon Prime Video Series’The Lord of the Rings: The rings of power’, would present a plot in which the events of the second epoch of Middle-earth are shown, leading to the creation of these rings, i.e. it is the story that would lay the foundation for what is shown in The Lord of the Rings trilogy.
