Am I aware of how very little this explains? Yes. Do I consider that my problem to fix? No.
In my defence, seventeen syllables is not a whole lot of room to convey the depth and meaning of one of the Grandfather of Fantasy's life's work.
I guess you'll just have to go and read the book (or watch the movies) for yourself...
Just avoid The Rings Of Power; they're nothing like the source material...
