The Prophecy
The Prophecy has always been a big part of Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit, therefor we have made our own prophecy for Before the Ring. While we haven't figured out all the details the basic idea of it is that there is a metal of great power and misery that brings hate and happiness. This metal, if fallen into the wrong hands, will destroy the universe as we know it. If the metal falls in the hands of the dark lord it is said that it will be used for great destruction, which, in itself has a prophecy:
Three Rings for the Elven-kings under the sky,
Seven for the Dwarf-lords in their halls of stone,
Nine for Mortal Men doomed to die,
One for the Dark Lord on his dark throne
In the land of Mordor where the shadows lie.
One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them,
One Ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them
In the land of Mordor where the shadows lie.
