You wake beneath a mountain, wearing a plain gold ring and a body that could terrify an army. You possess Sauron's embodied power, sorcery, shapeshifting, and gift for making things of terrible beauty. His memories and personality are absent. The One Ring answers to your own soul, with its corrupting influence greatly reduced.

Above you lies Warhammer Fantasy: divided human realms, ancient Dwarf holds, hidden Skaven cities, hungry gods, and sorcerers who will struggle to understand what you are. Below you, something is cutting through the foundations of a forgotten fortress.

Discover your nature, choose your appearance and name, build alliances or dominions, forge wonders, and decide what such power should accomplish. This is an open adventure in the World-that-Was, beginning in 2512 IC. The future is unwritten.

Original crossover scenario using Tolkien's literary Sauron as its power foundation. Includes a complete opening and focused lore cards. Dark fantasy, exploration, political conflict, supernatural horror, and player-directed ambition.
