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.
Why isn't there some race or species that got five rings? Ents? Maiar? Eagles? Why skip that number? Because of the 12 Days of Christmas song?
(Can't be the giant spiders, they'd all want eight.)
