He did not HAVE to - the Ring had power of its own, just like the other Rings of Power. But Sauron poured a trickle of his power in the Dwarves' and Men's Rings, and much of it into the One Ring, so that it could be more powerful than the other Rings and dominate them.

What is the One Ring?

The One Ring is a ring of power specially created by Sauron in the Second Age after he had taught the Elves of Erebor to make rings of power and they had finished making 19 of them. 16 of these rings of power the Elves made with Sauron's direct personal assistance, but 3 the Elves made entirely on their own and Sauron never either touched or saw these 3 rings at any time. The One Ring was made to dominate all the other 19 rings of power and eventually bring their wearers/users under Sauron's total control. However when it was made, because Sauron had not participated in the making of the 3, the Elves that had them were instantly aware of his intent and removed their rings refusing to either wear or use them while Sauron possessed the One Ring, so he could not control them. But the 9 humans and 7 dwarves that wore the others had no such warning, with the humans submitting quickly and the dwarves resisting somewhat longer. Unlike the other 19 rings of power, which each bore a jewel, the One Ring was plain. It also had an inscription written in the Black Speech of Mordor that could only be seen when the One Ring was very hot.

Who made the rings in Lord of the Rings?

The one ring was forged in the fires of Mt.Doom deep within the depts of Mordor. The dark lord Saruon forged this ring in secret and poured his soul into it. He poured his will to dominate and evil into the ring. He engraved upon it (in the basic speech) "One ring to rule them all. One ring to find them. One ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them." He used it to control all the other rings. The three of the elves, the nine of the men, and the seven rings of the dwarves.


What ring does the lady galadriel wear and why is it important?

Galadriel wears the ring of water, Nenya. The three elven rings help preserve the elven kingdoms. Magic is slowly fading from the world, and the time of the elves is drawing to a close, the elven rings stave this off as long as they exist. That is why when Sauron was defeated, all the rings lost their power, and the elves departed as the age of man began.


Who is the evil in Lord of the Rings?

The Dark Lord in The Lord of the Rings is Sauron, a fallen Maia (demigod). There is also Saruman, an Istari/wizard corrupted by the lure of power offered by Sauron.

How did the rings in the Lord of the Rings come to be?

The One Ring was created by the Dark Lord Sauron during the Second Age in order to gain dominion over the free peoples of Middle-earth.The Rings of Power in J. R. R. Tolkien's Middle-earth legendarium are magical rings created by Sauron or by the Elves of Eregion under Sauron's tutelage. However, when Sauron forged the One Ring, the Elves he had tutored sensed its creation and hid the other rings from him. He came to their crafting halls, slew the chief craftsman (who also helped make the Doors of Moria and who inscribed letters onto Narsil), and stole sixteen of the other Rings - the Elves had been able to hide three of them. Sauron, still trying to appear gracious to the other Races, gave seven to the Dwarf-lords. Their Rings were the foundations of their hoards, apparently able to draw wealth to the bearer. Nine of the Rings, Sauron gave to Men, who took them, for the Rings made them mightier and more powerful; with the Rings, they would not die. However, as they would learn later, neither would they live. These Men became the Nazgul, Ringwraiths. The Three were hidden from Sauron - his hand never had touched them in their making, nor had he overseen these Rings' creation (they had been made by the chief craftsman).

When were the Rings of Power forged and by whom?

The Three Rings of Power were made by Celebrimbor, elf lord of the Gwaith-i-Mirdain (Guild of Smiths) in Ost-in-Edhil during the Second Age. Celebrimbor was the son of Curufin and the grandson of Feanor, greatest of all elven and any other smiths. Sauron never touched them or helped in their making, which is why they endured free, even after Sauron reclaimed the 7 given to dwarves and the 9 given to men.
