This is shown as being what inspired Sauron to devise his plan to control others through the gift of rings. The song playing in the background is "All the Single Ladies" by Beyoncé, which includes the line "If you liked it then you should have put a ring on it," referring to wedding rings.

Orcs were Elves twisted by Morgoth so Sauron, being his principal lieutenant, would be a natural leader to orcs by the time he created the One Ring. While Eru created elves and men it was Aulë who created Dwarves, Eru gave them life. In the second panel Sauron is talking about Eru Ilúvatar, the creator in Tolkien's Middle-earth legendarium. Sauron refers to an actual event in the first panel, when he tried to gain control of Lindon through deceit Galadriel and Gil-galad saw through his disguise and cast him out.

Lindon is a location on the westernmost side of the continent, serving as the final transition point for Elves passing on to the Undying lands. Gil-galad is a high Elven-king, and Galadriel is an Elf of royal blood who serves as a matriarch of sorts to the remnants of the Elven race. The books tell the story of a small group of adventurers who rediscover the lost Ring and attempt to destroy it, as Sauron's army gathers its forces to attempt to reclaim the Ring for their master. Sauron is eventually defeated in said war by Isildur who cuts off his ring finger. Then Sauron started War against the Last Alliance. After using his influence to convince Númenóreans to attack Aman, the island is destroyed by Eru. After losing that war Sauron started a religion in Númenor. Enraged, Sauron started War of the Elves and Sauron. However, the elves were not deceived by his plan and took off their rings. However, he also forged a master ring, the One Ring, to control the Rings of Power and ultimately rule over the kings. In the backstory of the The Silmarillion, he takes control of Middle-earth by giving several Rings of Power as "gifts" to the great kings of men, dwarves and elves after teaching the craft to the elves. The character in armor is Sauron, the main villain in The Lord of the Rings trilogy. Also, the apparently eager Beyoncé would've made one badass Nazgûl. Title text: Using a ring to bind someone you covet into your dark and twisted world? Wow, just got the subtext there.
