Lord of the Rings

by Harlan Thompson

 

One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them,
One Ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them
In the land of Mordor where the Shadows lie

 
 
It is nearing the end of the Third Age: 3018 by Gondor reckoning, 1418 by Hobbit reckoning. The Great Years have begun. Sauron has slowly been gathering overwhelming forces and now he is ready to dominate Middle Earth. His forces are everywhere and practically no city is safe. His nearly indestructable Nazgul
(Ringwraiths) have been seen again for the first time in many years. Furthermore, Mordor is allied with Harad in the South and Rhun in the East. Saruman sitting in Isengard also is threatening the peace of the world. Can the forces of good represented by Gondor and its allies the Elves and Rohan defeat the larger forces
of evil? You only have until Sept. 1421, when the Keepers of the Rings set out over the Sea and the Third Age ends.
