In the Second Age, the elven smith Celebrimbor sets out to make a bunch of rings that — by drawing on the strength and will of the bearer — can bring power, wealth, and safety to the bearer’s people. Sauron — an unemployed almost-god who once served ultimate evil and has spent the past few years looking for a new job — offers to help the idealistic elf, and Celebrimbor agrees. This leads to the completely unforeseeable twist wherein Sauron (acting as the original model for smartphone makers everywhere) corrupts the rings so they work until they don’t. The rings bring prosperity and security for a time, but, ultimately, attract destruction.
