THE RINGS of Power
Halbrand
Halbrand is an enigmatic character in the series who raises suspicions about his identity, as he does not appear in the original trilogy of “The Lord of the Rings”. Galadriel believes him to be the king of the southern lands due to a symbol he bears, but Halbrand denies this descent, claiming to have obtained the necklace from a dead man. It is not yet known whether he will be an ally or an enemy of Sauron, and there are theories that he may be Sauron himself disguised as Annatar. Another mysterious character is Adar, a villain with elven characteristics who leads the orcs and presents himself as one of the great threats of the series, alongside Sauron.
In the Second Age of Middle-earth
In the Second Age of Middle-earth, 19 rings were created by the Elves for healing, building, and understanding, and distributed among the races: three for the Elf-kings, seven for the Dwarf-lords, and nine for Men. Sauron, who had a hand in their creation, secretly forged the One Ring to control them. In the Third Age, most of the rings were destroyed, leaving only three, which lost their power when the One Ring was destroyed. The three rings of the Elves are: Narya (Ring of Fire) with a ruby; Nenya (Ring of Water) of mithril with a diamond; and Vilya (Ring of Air) of gold with a sapphire.
