The world is changed.I feel it in the water.I feel it in the Earth.I smell it in the air.Much that once was is lost. For none now live who remember it.It began with the forging of the great rings. ……It betrayed Isildur to his death.And some things that should not have been forgotten were lost. History became legend, legend became myth and for two and a half thousand years, the Ring passed out of all knowledge. Until, when chance came, it ensnared a new bearer. |
