Seven Rings
Decipher Card of a dwarven Ring
Rings of Power given to the dwarves. The Seven Rings were made in Eregion by the smith Celebrimbor who was seduced by Sauron, who appeared before him in fair form.
When Sauron attacked in 1697 of the Second Age, during the War of the Elves and Sauron, he sought the Seven Rings as well as the Three Rings and the Nine Rings. He passed out the six dwarf rings he could find to lords including Linnar, Sindri, and Uri. The seventh was already in the hands of Durin III, who hid from Sauron's forces behind the Doors of Durin.
In the earlier 1600s, Sauron had enforced his Ring of Fire to rule the other rings of power. He controlled the Nine Kings who bore the Nine Rings, and eventually turned them into Nazgul.
With the Seven Rings, the dwarf-lords who owned them could make more gold for their clans. They could become very rich and possess a great deal of gems, jewels, and mithril.
Soon, the dwarf-bearers of the Rings became dangerous and sometimes evil, all because they used their Rings. They would sometimes lose their wealth. They blamed much of this misfortune on the innocent Elves.
But they were not entirely affected by their Rings. They did not become wraiths and their lives remained the usual 300 year spans. Sauron was confused by this, for he believed Dwarves to be very insipid and greedy.
As time went on, Sauron wanted to be the bearer of all Seven Rings. He sent scouts out to find them. They found only two, for four were eaten by Dragons and one was hidden by the dwarves of Durin's Folk.
King Thror was the bearer of the Last Ring in 2790. He took it to Moria where he was killed, but had given the Ring to Thrain II, father of Thorin. In the years that followed, the dwarves were driven out of the Lonely Mountain by Smaug.
In 2845, Thrain II attempted to reclaim the Mountain and was captured at the edges of Mirkwood. He was captured by Sauron's forces and brought to Dol Guldur, where the Last of the Seven Rings was taken by Sauron.
A messenger of Mordor arrived at the Lonely Mountain in 3017. He asked King Dain II Ironfoot to give Sauron the Ring of Power. If he did, Sauron would return his three of the Serven Rings. The Dwarves turned down Mordor's request.
At the fall of Sauron and the destruction of the One Ring in 3019 by Frodo Baggins, the Dwarf Rings also were destroyed.
