And
he
said
to
them
:
"
Alas
,
for
the
weakness
of
the
great
!
For
a
mighty
king
is
Gil
-
galad
,
and
wise
in
all
lore
is
Master
Elrond
,
and
yet
they
will
not
aid
me
in
my
labours
.
Can
it
be
that
they
do
not
desire
to
see
other
lands
become
as
blissful
as
their
own
?
But
wherefore
should
Middle
-
earth
remain
for
ever
desolate
and
dark
,
whereas
the
Elves
could
make
it
as
fair
as
Eressea
,
nay
even
as
Valinor
?
And
since
you
have
not
returned
thither
,
as
you
might
,
I
perceive
that
you
love
this
Middle
-
earth
,
as
do
I
.
Is
it
not
then
our
task
to
labour
together
for
its
enrichment
,
and
for
the
raising
of
all
the
Elvenkindreds
that
wander
here
untaught
to
the
height
of
that
power
and
knowledge
which
those
have
who
are
beyond
the
Sea
?
It
was
in
Eregion
that
the
counsels
of
Sauron
were
most
gladly
received
,
for
in
that
land
the
Noldor
desired
ever
to
increase
the
skill
and
subtlety
of
their
works
.
Moreover
they
were
not
at
peace
in
their
hearts
,
since
they
had
refused
to
return
into
the
West
,
and
they
desired
both
to
stay
in
Middle
-
earth
,
which
indeed
they
loved
,
and
yet
to
enjoy
the
bliss
of
those
that
had
departed
.
Therefore
they
hearkened
to
Sauron
,
and
they
learned
of
him
many
things
,
for
his
knowledge
was
great
.
In
those
days
the
smiths
of
Ost
-
in
-
Edhil
surpassed
all
that
they
had
contrived
before
;
and
they
took
thought
,
and
they
made
Rings
of
Power
.
But
Sauron
guided
their
labours
,
and
he
was
aware
of
all
that
they
did
;
for
his
desire
was
to
set
a
bond
upon
the
Elves
and
to
bring
them
under
his
vigilance
.
Now
the
Elves
made
many
rings
;
but
secretly
Sauron
made
One
Ring
to
rule
all
the
others
,
and
their
power
was
bound
up
with
it
,
to
be
subject
wholly
to
it
and
to
last
only
so
long
as
it
too
should
last
.
And
much
of
the
strength
and
will
of
Sauron
passed
into
that
One
Ring
;
for
the
power
of
the
Elven
-
rings
was
very
great
,
and
that
which
should
govern
them
must
be
a
thing
of
surpassing
potency
;
and
Sauron
forged
it
in
the
Mountain
of
Fire
in
the
Land
of
Shadow
.
And
while
he
wore
the
One
Ring
he
could
perceive
all
the
things
that
were
done
by
means
of
the
lesser
rings
,
and
he
could
see
and
govern
the
very
thoughts
of
those
that
wore
them
.

But
the
Elves
were
not
so
lightly
to
be
caught
.
As
soon
as
Sauron
set
the
One
Ring
upon
his
finger
they
were
aware
of
him
;
and
they
knew
him
,
and
perceived
that
he
would
be
master
of
them
,
and
of
an
that
they
wrought
.
Then
in
anger
and
fear
they
took
off
their
rings
.
But
he
,
finding
that
he
was
betrayed
and
that
the
Elves
were
not
deceived
,
was
filled
with
wrath
;
and
he
came
against
them
with
open
war
,
demanding
that
all
the
rings
should
be
delivered
to
him
,
since
the
Elven
-
smiths
could
not
have
attained
to
their
making
without
his
lore
and
counsel
.
But
the
Elves
fled
from
him
;
and
three
of
their
rings
they
saved
,
and
bore
them
away
,
and
hid
them
.
Now
these
were
the
Three
that
had
last
been
made
,
and
they
possessed
the
greatest
powers
.
Narya
,
Nenya
,
and
Vilya
,
they
were
named
,
the
Rings
of
Fire
,
and
of
Water
,
and
of
Air
,
set
with
ruby
and
adamant
and
sapphire
;
and
of
all
the
Elven
-
rings
Sauron
most
desired
to
possess
them
,
for
those
who
had
them
in
their
keeping
could
ward
off
the
decays
of
time
and
postpone
the
weariness
of
the
world
.
But
Sauron
could
not
discover
them
,
for
they
were
given
into
the
hands
of
the
Wise
,
who
concealed
them
and
never
again
used
them
openly
while
Sauron
kept
the
Ruling
Ring
.
Therefore
the
Three
remained
unsullied
,
for
they
were
forged
by
Celebrimbor
alone
,
and
the
hand
of
Sauron
had
never
touched
them
;
yet
they
also
were
subject
to
the
One
.

From
that
time
war
never
ceased
between
Sauron
and
the
Elves
;
and
Eregion
was
laid
waste
,
and
Celebrimbor
slain
,
and
the
doors
of
Moria
were
shut
.
In
that
time
the
stronghold
and
refuge
of
Imladris
,
that
Men
called
Rivendell
,
was
founded
by
Elrond
Half
-
elven
;
and
long
it
endured
.
But
Sauron
gathered
into
his
hands
all
the
remaining
Rings
of
Power
;
and
he
dealt
them
out
to
the
other
peoples
of
Middle
-
earth
,
hoping
thus
to
bring
under
his
sway
all
those
that
desired
secret
power
beyond
the
measure
of
their
kind
.
Seven
Rings
he
gave
to
the
Dwarves
;
but
to
Men
he
gave
nine
,
for
Men
proved
in
this
matter
as
in
others
the
readiest
to
his
will
.
And
all
those
rings
that
he
governed
he
perverted
,
the
more
easily
since
he
had
a
part
in
their
making
,
and
they
were
accursed
,
and
they
betrayed
in
the
end
all
those
that
used
them
.
The
Dwarves
indeed
proved
tough
and
hard
to
tame
;
they
ill
endure
the
domination
of
others
,
and
the
thoughts
of
their
hearts
are
hard
to
fathom
,
nor
can
they
be
turned
to
shadows
.
They
used
their
rings
only
for
the
getting
of
wealth
;
but
wrath
and
an
over
-
mastering
greed
of
gold
were
kindled
in
their
hearts
,
of
which
evil
enough
after
came
to
the
profit
of
Sauron
.
It
is
said
that
the
foundation
of
each
of
the
Seven
Hoards
of
the
Dwarf
-
kings
of
old
was
a
golden
ring
;
but
all
those
hoards
long
ago
were
plundered
and
the
Dragons
devoured
them
,
and
of
the
Seven
Rings
some
were
consumed
in
fire
and
some
Sauron
recovered
.
Men
proved
easier
to
ensnare
.
Those
who
used
the
Nine
Rings
became
mighty
in
their
day
,
kings
,
sorcerers
,
and
warriors
of
old
.
They
obtained
glory
and
great
wealth
,
yet
it
turned
to
their
undoing
.
They
had
,
as
it
seemed
,
unending
life
,
yet
life
became
unendurable
to
them
.
They
could
walk
,
if
they
would
,
unseen
by
all
eyes
in
this
world
beneath
the
sun
,
and
they
could
see
things
in
worlds
invisible
to
mortal
men
;
but
too
often
they
beheld
only
the
phantoms
and
delusions
of
Sauron
.
And
one
by
one
,
sooner
or
later
,
according
to
their
native
strength
and
to
the
good
or
evil
of
their
wills
in
the
beginning
,
they
fell
under
the
thraldom
of
the
ring
that
they
bore
and
under
the
domination
of
the
One
,
which
was
Sauron
s
.
And
they
became
for
ever
invisible
save
to
him
that
wore
the
Ruling
Ring
,
and
they
entered
into
the
realm
of
shadows
.
