The One Ring is a ring in The Hobbit and Lord of the Rings.
Background[]
By the end of the Second Age of Middle-Earth, The Dark Lord Sauron forged within the fires of Mount Doom in Mordor, a ring of power, to control the other rings for the leaders of Elves, Dwarves and Men (The latter of which were the only ones to be corrupted and eventually become The Nazgul).

Shre nazg gulugranu kilmi-nudu,
Ombi kurzddurbagu gundum-ishi,

Ash nazg durbatulûk, ash nazg gimbatul,
ash nazg thrakatulûk, agh burzum-ishi krimpatul.
Daghburz-ishi makha gulshu darulu.
English[]
Three rings for the elven kings under the sky,
Seven for the dwarf lords in their halls of stone,
Nine for mortal men doomed to die,
One for the Dark Lord on his dark throne,
In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie.
One ring to rule them all, One ring to find them,
One ring to bring them all, and in the darkness bind them.
In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie.
