One of them, Sméagol, was so enticed by the Ring's power that he killed his friend Déagol to get it. During those years, Sauron captured the nine Rings that were made for Men and turned their owners into the Ringwraiths: terrible shadows under his great shadow who roamed the world searching for the One Ring. Isildur was killed near the Anduin river, and the Ring lay in the bottom of the Anduin for thousands of years. The Ring had a will of its own, and had a way of slipping from hand to hand, so that it might at last get back to its master. He did not destroy the Ring, and because of this, the spirit of Sauron lived on and began to take shape and grow again. As the Last Alliance of Elves and Men fell beneath his power, the Ring fell into the hands of Prince Isildur of the mighty kings from across the sea. With the One Ring, Middle-earth was his and he could not be overcome. Then, the Dark Lord Sauron learned the craft of ring making and made the Master Ring - the One Ring to rule them all. Long ago, in the early years of the Second Age, the great Elven- smiths forged Rings of Power - Nine for mortal Men, Seven for the Dwarf-lords, and three for the tall Elf-kings.
