Three Rings for the Elven Kings under Heaven
The elven rings were forged by Prince Celebrimbor in the Kingdom of Eregion. They were commissioned by Sauron, who tricked them. The tyrant forced them to create them to later bind them to the one ring and destroy his kingdom.
Vilya, the Blue Ring
Known as the "Blue Ring" or the "Ring of Air". Of the three elven rings of power, this is the most powerful. Gil-galad gave it to Elrond before he marched as co-general of the last alliance of men and elves against Sauron.
Among his powers, the wearer of this ring is able to heal the wounds caused by evil. Thanks to this ring, Frodo was able to be healed after being wounded with a Morgul dagger.
Nenya, the White Ring
It's the ring he wears Galadriel in Tolkien's original work, and one we've seen take shape during the finale of the first season of The Rings of Power. This object is used to keep evil at bay, as well as to avoid the fearsome effects of time, so it allows you to preserve anything without deteriorating. In fact, Nenya is the explanation of why the passage of time is different in Lothl Teurien, since its range of effect is quite wide. In fact, both the owner and those around him benefit from his effects, as well as from the wisdom and understanding that emanates from him.
The only ring capable of exerting influence on the White Ring is precisely the One Ring, although only when it is close. Thanks to him, Galadriel was able to take refuge from Sauron's forces.
Narya, the Red Ring
Also known as the "Ring of Fire", it is a gold ring inlaid with a ruby. Is the ring that Gandalf wears from the moment he arrives in Middle-earth. Before it came into his hands, the Red Ring belonged to Gil-Galad, who also had the Vilya. Gil-Galad gave it to Círdan, who eventually gave it to Gandalf.
Although Gandalf is not an elf, he is the keeper of the secret fire, the last flame of light. Being the last of the Istari, they entrusted this last ring, which is speculated to be the least powerful of the three.
Among her powers, Narya allows its bearer influence people, basically to motivate them to do acts of heroism. Gandalf used it, to name an example, when he manages to free King Théoden.
Seven rings for the Dwarf Lords in palaces of Stone
A ring was forged for each of the seven tribes or houses of dwarves. One was given to each king. However, Sauron didn't get away with it, because out of sheer stubbornness, the rings did not influence the dwarves as he wanted. Hence Sauron ended up cursing them.
These seven rings were not as powerful as the ones given to the elves, and Tolkien did not write much about them. The dwarves who carried them they ended up falling in battle, so it is assumed that they ended up stolen and destroyed by the huge fire dragons.
The only ring that seemed to survive was that of Durin, although unfortunately, this would end up returning to the clutches of Sauron.
Nine rings for mortal men doomed to die
What we understand as mortals, with a human life expectancy. They were created by Celebrimbor with the supervision of Sauron. Sauron's aim with these nine rings was to corrupt men and get them on your side. They were given to the kings of men: three of them were Black Númenóreans and one was an Eastman.
Those who came to possess these rings were carriers of magical abilities, as well as could reach influence the will of other people. They also came to have a longer life than normal. However, after prolonged use, the wearer would eventually fade away and become a Nazgal.
The nine rings given to mortals had more or less the same same powers. They were invisible to everyone else, but visible to the holders of other rings. These rings were destroyed as soon as the One Ring did. However, the ring the Witch King possessed lost its powers, but was not destroyed. Those who possessed these rings fell into the shade.
one for the dark lord
The last ring, and the most important, was for the Dark lord upon the dark throne in the land of Mordor, where the shadows lie.
In Single Ring represents the power of Sauron, the Dark Lord. He was forged in the fires of Orodruin, in the Mount of Destiny. His main function was none other than exercise control over the other 19. During his forging, Sauron had to pour into the crucible part of his own power, establishing from that moment a symbiotic bond between the object and its master. Sauron and the ring were doomed to be one: he could never die as long as the ring continued to exist. But, on the other hand, he could never get to wield all of his power without the ring on his finger. His forge was the only one in Middle-earth capable of destroying him, so Sauron thus guaranteed his power and tyranny.
How does the work of The Lord of the RingsSauron used the power of the One Ring to subdue all of middle earth until Isildur took it from him in battle. The Dúnedain had it for a time and came to experience the effects of it. However, she dies and falls into the water with him. For two millennia, the One Ring lay under water until it was found by Déagol, who was murdered by his cousin Sméagol for the jewel. From there it passed to Bilbo and from him to Frodo.
As for his powers, possessed all the powers that the rest of the rings. The other rings were at a disadvantage against him. The bearer of him could read the minds of the bearers of the rest of the rings and enslave them. gave invisibility to the one who used it. It could increase the abilities of the owner of it and also motivated its wearer to use it and do anything not to lose it, corrupting it and encouraging it to become a new dark lord.
