Here's how the series fits into Galadriel's discovery of evil outside Middle Earth

The new beginning

★

The mythical magical artifacts known as the Rings of Power can be found throughout J. R. R. Tolkien's works about Middle-earth, most notably in his work of high fantasy titled The Lord of the Rings. Tolkien's children's book The Hobbit included the Ruling Ring for the first time as a plot device, magic ring. Tolkien eventually gave it a backstory and considerably greater power than it had originally possessed. He created nineteen more Great Rings that it could manage, all of which granted invisibility in addition to their other benefits.

These included the Three Rings of the Elves, Seven Rings for the Dwarves, and Nine Rings for Men. He added that in addition there was a great deal of less significant rings that possessed less significant powers. The addictive power of the One Ring, which was secretly crafted by the Dark Lord Sauron, is one of the most important aspects of the plot of "The Lord of the Rings," while the Nine Rings turn the people who wear them into Ringwraiths, which are Sauron's most dangerous followers.

The Germanic legend of the ring Andvaranaut, which was eventually used as inspiration for Wagner's The Ring of the Nibelung, is one of the possible sources of inspiration for the Rings of Power. Other possible sources include fairy tales like Snow White, which also features a magic ring and seven dwarfs. One encounter which may have been crucial was Tolkien's professional work on a Latin inscription at the temple of Nodens; he was a god-hero tied to the Irish hero Nuada Airgetl?m, whose epithet is "Silver-Hand", or in Elvish "Celebrimbor", the name of the Elven-smith who fashioned the Rings of Power. The ring that the inscription was written bore a curse, and the location was known as Dwarf's Hill.

Tolkien explores the ways in which various characters, ranging from the humble gardener Sam Gamgee to the powerful Elf ruler Galadriel, the proud warrior Boromir to the Ring-addicted monster Gollum, interact with the One Ring. The Rings of Power have been described as symbolizing the way that power conflicts with moral behavior. According to Tolkien, The Lord of the Rings is an investigation into "the practice of investing authority in external objects."
