Lord of the Ring

   The Dark Lord Sauron.

   -----

   "The Lord of the Ring is not Frodo, but the master of the Dark Tower of Mordor, whose power is again stretching out over the world!" (Words of Gandalf; from The Fellowship of the Ring II 1, Many Meetings)

   -----

   A rare title for Sauron, the master of the One Ring. In fact, it occurs only once in The Lord of the Rings: in Rivendell, Pippin wrongly granted the title to Frodo, but was quickly corrected by Gandalf with the words shown above.
