     The History of Middle Earth/The Lord of the Rings
     The story of the ring takes place in Middle-Earth.  It is a land of fantasy in which elves, dwarves, orcs, dragons, hobbits, trolls, eagles, and men coexist.  This land  originally came into being in the imagination of J. R. R. Tolkien.  Going by Tolkien’s history, Middle-Earth was created by a race of God-like creatures known as Valar.  Much like the Greek gods, the Valar each had their own properties and personalities which corresponded to what elements of Middle-Earth they created and were in charge of.  Of all the Valar only the second in command, named Melkor, strayed from the light.  Melkor tried to destroy all that the Valar created, but succeeded only in lessening his power.  The chief lieutenant of Melkor, also known as Morgoth,  was Sauron.  After much fighting with Melkor, Middle-Earth’s creation was complete, and with the birth of the elves the First age in Middle-Earth’s history began.  Elves were created by the Valar to be immortal, and can only die by being slain or through great grief.   They lived peacefully until Melkor once again appeared.  He hated the newly-created elves even more than their creators and declared eternal war on them which ended until all elves were either turned to the darkness or destroyed.  The elves in turn fought back with great success and those elves who were captured had been turned into orcs and other demon races.  Towards the end of the first age the elves were joined by dwarves and man, and together they fought to destroy Melkor, but they could not.  In the last moments before the complete destruction of  elves and man, the Valar themselves came and attacked Melkor with all their power.  Melkor was utterly destroyed along with a great portion of Middle-Earth and so ended the first age.
     The second age began with little trouble and much re-building.  The chief servant Melkor, Sauron,  began to reform and attempted to the rebuilding effort by joining the elves.  With his help the elves forged the rings of power.  Sauron himself took the one ring attempted to take complete control as Melkor once did.  He was opposed by the last alliance between elves and men, led by the high king Gil-Galad and the king of men Elindil.  A war as great as the one that ended the first age ensued.  It ended when the eldest son of Elindil, Isildur,  cut the ring from the hand of Sauron.  Isildur was later killed on the banks of the great river Anduin and with that the ring was lost ...
