Crazy how much better this is than a billion dollar t.v series.

Gandalf was not surprised that Bibo had a ring that made him invisible, just that it was the One Ring. He said, “There are many magic rings in this world and none of them should be used lightly “.

This adds a lot of weight to the moment where Galadriel rejects Frodo's request to take the ring. Because the ring itself had command over her, as a bearer of a lesser ring. She not only resisted the temptation, but she resisted the command of the one ring. Powerful stuff.

That's what I love about soft magic worldbuilding, it's so subtle that in many moments you are not even aware the rings are lending someone any power, but then you stop to think about it and "Oh yeah, that makes sense!"

We actually don't know that much about the ring we call Nenya, maybe not even its name. Someone asked Galadriel about the ring once, and she just said Nenya. Some scholars believe she meant "Nenya business".

Why there hasn't been an open world game based on the same mechanics as Skyrim, but with the storyline of the Lord of the rings completely befuddles me!

This is just about the best description of the Rings and their various powers that I've ever seen.

This is an oppurtunity to remind you that Aule was Sauron's master and that Aule sent Saruman to Middle Earth. Double whammy

The mouth of Sauron would have been a candidate to possess one of the lesser rings. His appearance certainly suggested someone living an enhanced lifetime.

Literally stretching the life along time rather than giving more life is so creative

I love how consistent Sauron's elf form is portrayed across all media. It's like we all know what he looks like.

My old ring had the power of divorce. My new ring just makes my finger sweat.
