ALL the rings

Insidious Rex · 02-26-2003, 11:09 PM

Ok Sil experts help me out here. From what it says in the rings of power section Sauron helps the elves create a bunch of powerful rings. And the elves (except for Gil Gilad and Elrond) are cool with it and dont realize its one big trick. Then when Sauron makes The One Ring they realize theyve been fooled and they take the rings off and that pisses Sauron off so he goes after the rings. And he gets all but the three most powerful. He then gives these rings to the dwarves (7) and the men (9). now what i want to know is this:

What happens to the dwarf rings? Sauron could not turn the dwarves with the rings much to his disapointment but they still caused enough trouble to basically screw up the kingdom of every dwarf that possesed one. it says some are "consumed in fire" but some were later recovered by sauron. so does he have those rings at the point when The Lord of the Rings take place still?

What happens to the human rings? obviously the humans turn into wraiths but does Sauron take their rings once they become his slaves? or do they just keep them?

How does having all these rings in his posession benefit him? Having The One Ring is key but why does he need all 20? Would that increase his power even more?
