After failing to convince Théoden to join him, the treacherous wizard is stabbed by Gríma Wormtongue and falls to his death, dropping a seeing stone - or "Palantír" - in the process. There, they reunite with Merry and Pippin, meet Treebeard, and confront Saruman in his tower. Not long afterward, Gandalf, Aragorn, Legolas, Gimli, and the Riders of Rohan arrive at Orthanc in search of Saruman. They tear up Saruman's entire operation, with the exception of his tower, Orthanc, which they're unable to destroy.
In a fury, the old Ent calls aloud and charges at nearby Isengard with an army of angry Ents behind him. However, Pippin leads Treebeard to a part of Fangorn that has been deforested by Saruman. The Ents hold a council, called "Entmoot," and initially decide that they should stay out of the fighting. Eventually, the Elf Arwen arrives and helps them reach safety in Rivendell. He helps them through their remaining dangers, including a close shave when they're attacked - and Frodo is stabbed - by the Nazgûl on the hill of Weathertop. Once the quartet of Hobbits arrives in Bree, they meet Strider, a ranger that is none other than Aragorn, son of Arathorn, heir to the throne of Gondor. In addition, Gandalf finds that the Dark Lord has corrupted Saruman, who imprisons the Grey Wizard in his tower of Orthanc. Gandalf goes to Saruman the White in search of help, only to learn that the black riders are the Nazgûl, nine of the most terrifying servants of Sauron. He sends his gardener, Samwise Gamgee, with him and the pair are joined by their friends Merry and Pippin as they escape eastward, pursued by mysterious riders dressed in black. He returns to Hobbiton and immediately tells Frodo to take the corrupted jewelry out of the Shire.
In the meantime, Gandalf discovers that Frodo's ring is actually the One Ring that Sauron forged. We've tackled the problem of finally laying out the entire story (including the extended editions) in as orderly and digestible a manner as possible. If you've watched Jackson's Lord of the Rings trilogy and felt a bit confused by the time the credits started rolling, fear not. Even those who watch the films after having read the books aren't necessarily better off, as Jackson's version features a myriad of plot changes, character swaps, and scenes that don't take place in the book and vice versa. Once they part ways in the second and third acts, keeping a coherent timeline of events as you go along is much more difficult. Even in The Fellowship of the Ring, the story is complex, and that's with all of the protagonists generally sticking together. In fact, there's so much going on in The Lord of the Rings that it can be overwhelming trying to keep track of it all. Strange names of people and places pop up at every turn and confusing lines are spouted off in everything from Elvish to Dwarvish, Entish, Orcish, and so on. The story rises from humble beginnings in Hobbiton to epic events in Moria, Rohan, Gondor, Mordor, and other fantastic locations. Tolkien's Lord of the Rings trilogy is mind-boggling.

So, even though the Ring of Thrór didn't show its power in the same way as other rings in Middle-earth, it still became the downfall of the Dwarves in the House of Durin. The House of Durin collected troves and troves of treasure for no other purpose than sheer greed, and it became their downfall when Smaug came with his own thirst for gold. This is shown not only in how the Dwarves improved their skills in smithing, mining and forging, but also by the greed that they developed, as seen with the treasure of Erebor. However, like any other Ring of Power, the Ring of Thrór still had some drawbacks - it amplified the wearer's natural skill and desire for dominion, just like its maker. It remained in control of the Dwarves for thousands of years before being recovered by Sauron, which means the Dwarves were somehow resistant to its magic and control. Keeping with the namesake, the Ring of Thrór was bestowed with Sauron's magic and evil might, but it was unique in that it didn't present the corruption so obviously.
