Lord of the Rings

Based on the legendary fantasy novel series by J. R. R. Tolkien, Lord of the Rings takes place in the mystical land of Middle Earth, occupied by the likes of hobbits, trolls, knights, wizards, and dragons. Wars rage for the power of the land with a mysterious and powerful ring that can hold the magic to overtake the world for whoever wields it. This series will take place before the events of both Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit, the events transpiring amid the Second Age of Middle-earth before Bilbo or Frodo discovered the sinister forces behind the magical ring.
