when the king’s son Isildur cut the evil ring from Sauron’s finger but he lacked the conviction to destroy it in mount doom And later he was killed

Rings of power take place during the second age of middle earth it’s sandwiched in The middle between the Silmarillion which mostly covers the first stage

[{"selector":"#anim-612e2ba5-7ba9-426b-b6de-d4277422fa1f","keyframes":[{"transform":"scale(1)","offset":0},{"transform":"scale(1.5)","offset":0.33},{"transform":"scale(0.95)","offset":0.66},{"transform":"scale(1)","offset":1}],"delay":0,"duration":1450,"easing":"ease-in-out","fill":"both","iterations":4}] [{"selector":"#anim-8d2858eb-db63-4593-9d6f-7b06c3c29a32","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-a9ac067d-943b-4637-9500-a3dbe478c8a9","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.3333333333333333)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]

and the lord of the rings which takes place in the third age j.r.r Tolkien only briefly touched on the second age and the appendices found at the end of the return of the king,

[{"selector":"#anim-ddb69733-85d4-425f-b0a9-3b40e7a0e117","keyframes":[{"transform":"scale(1)","offset":0},{"transform":"scale(1.5)","offset":0.33},{"transform":"scale(0.95)","offset":0.66},{"transform":"scale(1)","offset":1}],"delay":0,"duration":1450,"easing":"ease-in-out","fill":"both","iterations":4}] [{"selector":"#anim-3b4f9f43-7b53-437a-a41e-7b1a14561a34","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-7499f1a2-88c2-4685-ab63-f4890f66f192","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.3333333333333333)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]
