The Rings of Power are some of the darkest and most mystical objects in Middle Earth. They were devised by Sauron as a part of his scheme to conquer the world and have dominion over all who dwell there.

For the dwarves, they were surprisingly resilient to Sauron’s will through their rings, but the rings did heighten their gold lust and their dragon sickness, meaning
