Transcript:

The greatest craftsmen of all time, the Gwaith-i-Mirdain were at their finest thanks to swapping trade secrets with the Dwarves next door. Celebrimbor, the greatest Elven-smith of the Second Age, was lord of Eregion when fair-faced Annatar, the Lord of Gifts, claimed he could take their talents to the next level.

With his teachings, the Gwaith forged the Rings of Power. Celebrimbor also created Three Rings untouched by Annatar, who was really Sauron all along. Using Gwaith knowledge, Sauron forged the One Ring within the heart of Mt. Doom to control the other rings and their bearers. The Elves hid the other rings, but Sauron captured and tortured Celebrimbor for their whereabouts. Celebrimbor kept the Three Rings hidden, but died before the Elves were able to defeat Sauron through their alliance with men.

Thousands of years later, on the night Sauron returned to Mordor, Talion, a Captain and Ranger of Gondor, was stationed at the Black Gate. After he, his wife Ioreth, son Dirhael, and everyone he knows is murdered, Talion finds himself resurrected and sharing his body with a wraith, or apparition. Now you must use your combined powers to recover the wraith’s memories, exact revenge on the Black Hand, and break the curse to reunite with your family in the afterlife.

Have fun!
