The Ring of Saruman By John Evans

  I have read in the Fellowship of the ring and on a few web pages particularly the Barrow Downs forum of a ring that Saruman forged. This ring might have been of grate importance and of what happened to it and of its power or potential power if these curious connected facts where actually meant to provide a link a knew similarity between Curunir and Sauron, those intriguing possibilities are hear compiled in to an interesting tale of wonder and mystery. In the future I may even create a much longer story of this story thread. Please Enjoy
 
  Alone in the top most chambers of Orthanc slept a hidden power biding its time to rise up in wrath against men, dwarves, hobbits, and elves as well as those currently standing against these same beings in the service of the other dark tower. Saruman the lord of that black tower of Isengard, lord of many colors, wished to first outdo the free peoples of Arda and then strike against Mordor in force wielding the ruling ring. Yes the old craven had long wished after his corruption to claim the ring of the true dark lord and to set himself up as a power of darkness that would sweep threw the lands but now first he would try to sub do Gandalf wisest of wizards and fore that Curunir the cunning mind whom mortals of the north named Saruman had to first attempt to try and work his magic will to an even grater extent. Piling threw spell books in his lofty chamber the enemy of gods, elves, men and all other free folk tried and find a spell that would enhance his already overwhelming art of persuasion threw the spoken word. Yet after hours and hours on end strenuously struggling to plow on he realized that he would probably have to rely on his ring his precious ring. Long ago in the foundations of his corruption from witch no tales now rise to trouble the mortal minds that occupy Arda Saruman had made in secret in his hidden forges a ring of power like Sauron but his plans would not fully succeed to there full potential. When that ring was made it was only threw the skill of the elven lore masters’ books and not there skill in person so the craftsmanship at points needed to be guessed by the wizard so that the ring was more vulnerable to the dangers of destruction and with it the downfall of Saruman’s native power. This ring unlike the one could be destroyed easily by any elven smith but not by any arts of men or dwarves. Now Saruman was reluctant to use the art of enhancing his seductiveness with this ring fore in doing so you most realize by openly wearing this ring he risked the wise discovering much about it. There fore when the wizard Gandalf had left and had not made and fuss about that mysterious ring in the councils of the wise concerning the ruling ring, Saruman was at the least more encouraged and at once lonched his attacks on Rohan in great force. Villages of the mark fell to that ring and one b by one the riders of there king where swept away in battle our cooped up in the golden hall. The anger of the Orcs of Orthanc the Uruci was unleashed  thrice greater then anticipated because of the might of that ring. But the arm of that would be dark lord even with his ring was not enough to prevent Sauron using him as but a puppet and doubtless threw arts of the Palantir Saruman must have accidentally revealed the forging of his secret weapon of sorts to the dismay of the eye of barad Dur. Sure Sauron could crush Saruman with his ring if he wanted to but if Saruman did indeed forge this thing then the labor the crush that wizard would prove more costly then originally anticipated and that might disturb the time table strictly set before the dark lord in his war with Gondor in particular. One day even Gremer began to catch on about the powers of the ring. Asked to collect a collection of papers he came up to the top most chamber of Orthanc and he found his master standing gazing out the window holding aloft the ring of power unknown to so many. Now spells of ruin where spoken by that wizard and as with the One Ring when cast in to fire letters appeared on the band. These letters where not seen however by heat but threw magic alone and now  they burned not hot red but a pale green sickly in color and terribly bright. Seeing this strange cite Gremer Wormtongue left the room hardly receiving any attention at all from the wizard save fore a shutter of dismay and a few swift lashings witch did little harm fore the lord of the tower was tired deadly tired. Periodically he would invest grater stores of his power in to that ring making he and that golden band more a kin rather then master and tool. Nay now the tool of grate power the instrument of conquest was bound to the would be overlord and that mistake would live on to haunt men in after days. Fore after the downfall of Orthanc and persuading Tree Beard to let him escape back to the shire where his servants where now mustered, Saruman was slain with Gremer by the Halflings still wearing his own ruling ring and because it was not bound to the one ring it still lives on somewhere. Long ago the grave of Saruman was neglected and if one where to take that ring from the wizard’s bones then perhaps one day when Saruman returns he may gather the power to rise up once more to a monumental threat witch us mortals must endure.
