The film begins with a summary of the prehistory of the ring of power. Long ago, twenty rings existed: three for elves, seven for dwarves, nine for men, and one made by the Dark Lord Sauron, in Mordor, which would rule all the others. Sauron poured all his evil and his will to dominate into this ring.

This piece, the Ring of Barahir, is vividly described by Tolkien: "For this ring was like to twin serpents, whose eyes were emeralds, and their heads met beneath a crown of golden flowers, that the one upheld and the other devoured." The emerald eyes of the serpents possess a rare and entrancing beauty, occasionally seeming to burn with green fire.
