It began with the forging of the great ring*. From the Rhinegold it was made: beautiful and powerful, until it fell into the hands of men, whose lust for power and riches proved their undoing. A tale of heroes, dwarves, dragons and gods; of love, justice, desire and villainous treachery.
*Any similarity to other magic rings that signal dread and doom is purely coincidental.
