With over 100 million copies sold in over 40 languages, millions have grown up with "The Lord of the Rings," the classic epic tale considered by millions to be the greatest fantasy-adventure story ever told. J.R.R. Tolkien's phenomenal epic trilogy chronicles the struggle between good and evil for possession of a magical ring. The book trilogy, named the most popular book of the 20th Century, has been presented in a trilogy of feature films from New Line Cinema. "The Fellowship of the Ring," "The Two Towers" and "Return of the King" together compose the motion picture event of the 21st Century. A work of sheer invention on a staggering scale, "The Lord of the Rings" takes us back to "Middle-earth," an era that predates written history, where humans share the world with immortal elves, powerful wizards, and industrious dwarves.
An ancient human-like race of Middle-earth, Elves are noble, elegant and magical beings in harmony with the natural world and its forces. Elves have clearer perception and more heightened awareness than humans, which was a valuable aid when Gil-galad, the last High King of the Noldor, joined Elendil, King of Gondor, to create The Last Alliance of Elves and Men in order to defeat the evil Sauron and his legion of orcs. The army of the Last Alliance won the Battle of Dagorlad. Then, on the slopes of Mount Orodruin, despite heavy losses, the Alliance managed to drive Sauron's forces back. Cornered there, Sauron himself took to the battlefield. After heavy battle, Gil-galad and Elendil were slain, but Isildur, son of Elendil, cut "The One Ring" from Sauron's finger, thus ending his reign of power. The High Elven Warrior Shield is a reflection of the stately army of Elves that fought against Sauron and his forces, and was designed around a leaf motif, adorned with an elven vine design to reflect the organic nature-based culture of the Elves.
