The lord of ring

The Plot Summary of The Lord of The Rings In the backstory, not known to the characters at the start of the novel, the Dark Lord Sauron forges the Ruling Ring of Power in Mordor. The Ring is cut off by Isildur who claims it and is subsequently killed by Orcs. The Ring falls into the river Anduin. Gollum murderously obtains the Ring while fishing in the river and keeps it for nearly five hundred years before losing it, at which point it is found by Bilbo Baggins. Gollum, while looking for the Ring, is captured and interrogated by Sauron's minions. Eventually, Gollum is set loose but is caught by Aragorn, Isildur's heir and rightful king of Gondor, and imprisoned by the elves in Mirkwood. Sauron sends his fearsome servants, the Ringwraiths, to find the Ring.
