![]() The One Ring, secretly forged by Sauron in the heart of Mount Doom, had the power to dominate the sixteen rings owned by Dwarves and Men.They gained longevity but then faded away to become the Nazgûl, the Ringwraiths, dominated under Sauron's will. The remaining Nine Rings were divided amongst those evil-hearted men who saw their abilities increase and became sorcerers and Kings among Men.The final ring to leave the possession of the dwarves occurred when Thráin II was captured. It is believed that the dwarves' natural hardiness, and the fact that it was only the more powerful dwarf lords who possessed them, made them resistant to Sauron's control, yet allowed them to accumulate treasure. The Dwarves used their Seven Rings to establish their treasure hoards, but Sauron was unable to force the Dwarven bearers to submit. ![]()
