	Of the Rings of Power and the Third Age - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Of the Rings of Power and the Third Age is the fifth and last part of The Silmarillion by J.
		Of the Rings of Power and the Third Age bears some similarities to Elrond's narrative in The Fellowship of the Ring during the chapter The Council of Elrond; both do not divulge any details about how Arnor was destroyed and how Gondor became kingless.
		The closeness is perhaps intentional; as Elrond told the Second and Third Age through his eyes, The Silmarillion is supposed to be told through the point of the view of the Eldar.

		In contrast, the Third Age is bludgeoned into mediocrity by story after story of proud and valiant kings whose conquests or defeats inevitably lead to the diminishing of the Dunadan realms.
		The Second Age proved to be a roller coaster ride for both the Eldar and the Edain.
		For example, if we accept (as is indicated by "The History of Galadriel and Celeborn..." in Unfinished Tales) that Celebrimbor was, for some reason, in love with Galadriel, his preoccupation with the Rings of Power and her love for (and marriage to) Celeborn nullified the equity of the tragedy.

	06-22-03: Creation of the Rings of Power
		The Rings of Power were ALL made by the elves, except the One Ring, which was made by Sauron.
		But Sauron forged the One Ring in secret, and with that Ring he could be aware of all that was done with the lesser rings and be master of their bearers and their works.
		The Ring of Thrain, Thorin’s father, was the last of the Seven Rings to be recovered by Sauron, as is explained in the Appendices.

	FAQ of the Rings
		The Rings of Power had one additional effect, which definitely was not for the benefit of the bearer: with repeated use, they would turn a mortal (Man or Hobbit) into a wraith under Sauron’s domination.
		But his own power that he had let pass into it was still available to him as long as no one else claimed it and was powerful enough to keep it.
		While we don’t know the precise proportion of X to S, from the fact that when the Ring was destroyed Sauron died permanently (as far as Middle-earth was concerned) we can infer that by “a great part” of his power Tolkien probably meant nearly all.

		This is the story of the Second Age, the rise and fall of Numenor and the origins of the Kings of Men that led to Isildur and ultimately to Aragorn.
		There is a fifth work, On The Rings Of Power And The Third Age, but this is more of a clarification of issues in LOTR such as how the Rings were made and some history of the Hobbits.
		The third movie would be the Akallabêth, telling the story of Numenor and the Kings, focusing on Ar-Pharazôn and his corruption by Sauron.
