Rings of Power [SEP] Introduction
He successfully seized sixteen of them, Seven of which were subsequently sent to the Dwarf-lords and Nine to several leaders of Men, hoping to bring them under his sway. The Three, which Celebrimbor had already sent to the Elf leaders in Middle-earth, remained hidden from Sauron. Though the Seven only fueled the greed of the Dwarves, the Nine corrupted the Men, turning them into the Nazgûl, Sauron's chief servants. The One Ring was wrested from Sauron at the end of the Second Age and subsequently lost. It was found by the hobbit Smeagol, who centuries later lost it in the Misty Mountains.
