There, he quickly grew from captive to adviser. Sauron allowed himself to be taken as a hostage to Númenor by King Ar-Pharazôn. The forces of Sauron fled the onslaught, and Sauron realized that he could not overcome the Númenòreans through military might. Sauron's rise offended the arrogant Númenóreans, who attacked him with great force of arms. However, he was unable to control the Seven Rings of the Dwarf-lords, because of their different, more hearty nature, and natural resistance against domination by others-instead, the Rings increased the greed of the dwarves. With the Ring he controlled the Nine Rings that were given to nine mortal Men, who were corrupted and turned into the Nazgûl, his chief servants. The power of the Ring allowed Sauron to link it with some of his works, such as Barad-dûr. He raised Barad-dûr near Mount Doom, constructed the Black Gate of Mordor to prevent invasion, and raised massive armies of Orcs, Trolls, and Men, chiefly Easterlings and Southrons. During the era known as the Dark Years, Sauron became master of almost all of Middle-earth beyond the coasts and was known as the Dark Lord of Mordor. Sauron conquered and was able to claim all the Rings of Power (except the Three) and distribute them. This war, the War of the Elves and Sauron destroyed Eregion and devastated much of Eriador. When Celebrimbor and the other Ring-bearers realized Sauron's treachery, they took off their Rings, as while they were wearing them, Sauron knew where they were, and went to war with him. Īlthough it appeared to be made of simple gold, the Ring was virtually impervious to damage, and could only be destroyed in the very fires where it had originally been forged - Orodruin.
Thus, he was at his most powerful when wearing the Ring and although his power did not diminish if he was not in possession of it, he would lose the ability to have a physical form once it was destroyed. Sauron allowed much of his will and power to go into it. It was made as the Master Ring, the One Ring which would control all the others, and dominate their bearers.
Secretly, Sauron returned to Orodruin and forged the One Ring in its fires. ĭuring the Second Age, the Dark Lord Sauron persuaded Celebrimbor and his people, the Elven smiths of Eregion, to forge the Rings of Power. In the Ring Verse it is referred to as Ash Nazg in Black Speech. It was also known as the Ruling Ring, Great Ring of Power and Isildur's Bane (due to it causing the death of Isildur).
